The Everyday Church Podcast

The Holy Spirit is more than a power to obtain or an experience to pursue—He is a Person to know. In Week 1 of our Holy Spirit series, Pastor Randy looks at how Jesus described the Holy Spirit in John 14–16 and what it means that the same Spirit who is our Helper, Teacher, and Guide now lives in every follower of Jesus. We’ll also challenge some of the traditions, misconceptions, and experiences t...

In the final week of our Overcoming Anxiety series, we look at how repeated thoughts and beliefs can become deeply established patterns in our lives—and why simply changing our behavior often isn’t enough. Through 2 Corinthians 10, Romans 12, and Psalm 139, we talk about identifying the lies we’ve believed, demolishing strongholds, renewing our minds, and replacing old patterns with truth. Ultimat...

In this special week of our Overcoming Anxiety series, Brandi Boothe shares her personal story of walking through childhood trauma, loss, fear, anxiety, and panic attacks—and how God has met her throughout the journey. From deeply rooted fears of abandonment to learning to renew her mind through Scripture, prayer, fasting, community, and surrender, her story is an honest reminder that healing and...

In Week 3 of Overcoming Anxiety, Pastor Randy continues through Philippians 4 and looks at the connection between anxiety and the way we think. Paul tells us to intentionally think about what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. But changing the way we think is often more complicated than simply “thinking positive.” Sometimes we’ve rehearsed a lie for so lon...

In Week 2 of Overcoming Anxiety, Pastor Randy continues the conversation by asking an important question: What are we doing with the warning lights? Using the Challenger disaster as a picture of what happens when warning signs become normal, this message explores how stress, fear, and anxiety can sometimes signal that something in us needs attention. From there, Philippians 4 shows us a better res...

In Week 1 of our Overcoming Anxiety series, Pastor Randy begins an honest conversation about worry, fear, and what happens when what we know is true and what we feel is true don’t seem to match. Using Matthew 6:25–34, this message looks at Jesus’ words, “Do not worry,” within their actual context and challenges the idea that anxiety automatically means we’ve failed spiritually. Rather than reducin...

In this message, Pastor Randy introduces the fifth Everyday Church Distinctive: Prophetic Proximity — learning to live with spiritual awareness of who and what God has already placed around us. Using Acts 17 and Paul’s time in Athens, he shows how Paul noticed what was happening around him, allowed his spirit to be stirred, built a bridge through the culture, and ultimately pointed people to Jesus...

We often expect God to change our lives overnight—but what if He does some of His greatest work through ordinary, everyday faithfulness? In this message, Kayelee Crofford explores the life of Peter to show that spiritual growth isn't built on one defining moment, but through countless moments of obedience, surrender, and dependence on Jesus. From Peter's calling to his failures, restoration, and l...

What does real faith look like? In this message, Josiah Schwab explores the relationship between Jonathan and David to reveal a powerful truth: faith begins with surrender, and surrender begins discipleship. Jonathan was the rightful heir to Israel's throne, yet he willingly laid down his robe, armor, and future before God's anointed king. His story challenges us to ask a difficult question: What...

What does it really mean to be in Christ? In this powerful message, Pastor Luis Aran explores the life-changing truth that salvation is more than believing about Jesus—it's being united with Him. Walking through passages like Romans 10, Romans 6, and 2 Corinthians 5, he unpacks the incredible divine exchange that takes place when we place our faith in Christ. Using the illustration of standing out...

Hospitality is more than greeting people at the door—it’s a way of life. Continuing our Everyday Distinctives series, Pastor David McGregor explores why hospitality is one of the unique callings God has placed on Everyday Church. Drawing from the life of Jesus, this message reminds us that hospitality is not a program or event, but a Spirit-led posture of love, grace, and truth. Whether around a t...

This week we continue our Everyday Distinctives series by exploring why NextGen is one of the unique callings God has placed on Everyday Church. In a world flooded with information, anxiety, and competing voices, how do we raise a generation with spiritual roots deep enough to stand? Pastor Randy looks at the biblical picture of the “last days,” the surprising spiritual hunger emerging in Gen Z, a...

What does it really mean to be healed? In this Father’s Day message, Pastor Randy continues the Everyday Distinctives series by unpacking the second distinctive of Everyday Church: Healing. Far beyond physical recovery, Scripture presents healing as wholeness — spirit, soul, and body. Through the Greek word sozo, we discover that the same word often translated “saved” is also translated “healed,”...

In this message, Pastor Randy introduces the first of Everyday Church’s five Distinctives: Worship. What if worship is bigger than music? Bigger than a Sunday service? Bigger than a moment of emotion or an experience at the altar? As Everyday Church continues to unpack its vision and culture, this message explores why worship has been a defining mark of the church from the very beginning—and why G...

In this message, guest speaker Luis Aran walks through Paul’s teaching on the Armor of God and reminds us that spiritual battles require spiritual preparation. Drawing from his years as a law enforcement officer, Luis compares the armor of God to the equipment and tools officers carry every day—each piece serving a specific purpose and none of it optional. Just as a police officer would never go i...

Pentecost Sunday isn’t just about Acts 2, speaking in tongues, or a moment in church history. It’s about the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and the life of the Church. In this message, Pastor Randy walks through the history and meaning of Pentecost, from Mount Sinai and the Feast of Weeks to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Along the way, he wrestles honest...

In this message, Pastor Randy reflects on years of ministry, the tension between encounter and formation, and the realization that many Christians experience God in moments but never learn how to walk with Him afterward. Through personal stories, honest wrestling, and a fresh look at the Great Commission, this message explores what it really means to make disciples — not just converts. This is the...

In this Mother's Day message Pastor Don Vining delivers a powerful and faith-filled word on breaking spiritual chains in the home. Drawing from the story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15, Pastor Don unpacks the authority of persistent faith, the power of prayer, and the freedom Jesus offers to every family. In this message, you’ll discover the “Four Pillars of Freedom” — declarations of victor...

In week one we asked a simple question: Are you a disciple of Jesus? Now, after walking through what a disciple actually looks like, we ask it again—but this time, it’s not theoretical. In this message, we confront a hard reality: everyone is being formed by something. The question is whether we are being intentionally formed by Jesus or unintentionally shaped by culture. Looking at Romans 12 and...

What does it actually mean to give generously? Not out of fear. Not out of guilt. Not because someone told you you'd be cursed if you didn't. In this week's message we're talking about one of the most abused topics in the local church — financial giving. We'll take an honest look at how Malachi 3 has been misused, what the widow with two coins actually teaches us about generosity, and why giving i...

What does it actually mean to advance the mission of Jesus? In this message we tackle one of the most misunderstood ideas in church culture — serving. We unpack the difference between a church that exists for itself and a church that exists for the world, and why that distinction changes everything about how we live as followers of Jesus. Serving inside the church matters. But serving people is th...

In this Easter message, Wounded, Pastor Katie Robinson shares a powerful reminder that Jesus didn’t just die for our sin—He was wounded for every part of us. He was betrayed, abandoned, mocked, and crucified… carrying both the visible and invisible pain of humanity. And yet—He rose. In this message, we explore how the wounds of Jesus bring healing, how our wounds don’t disqualify us, and how God c...

What do you do when Jesus doesn’t meet your expectations? On Palm Sunday, the crowd celebrated Him as king—believing He came to fix everything they were facing. But within days, their celebration turned into disappointment… because Jesus didn’t do what they thought He would. In this episode, we walk through Luke 19 and the tension between who Jesus is and what we expect from Him. Because if we’re...

In Week 5 of our GLAD series, we continue exploring the second movement of the pathway: Love Deeply. Most of us want to love God and love people well — so what gets in the way? In this message, we uncover the real barriers that keep us from loving deeply: wounds, shame, and the absence of safe, authentic community. Through James 5, we see that while forgiveness happens in our relationship with God...

In Week 4 of our GLAD series, we move into the second movement of the pathway: Love Deeply. Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbor — but what if those two commands are more connected than we realize? In this message, we wrestle with a challenging truth: you cannot claim to love God while refusing to love people. This is a call away from shallow, surface-level C...
