The Hope Collective Message Podcast

Every interaction we have with others, no matter how small, is important. Jesus modeled this perspective during his time on Earth. Even in his briefest encounters, he was able to impact people in a meaningful way. What would it look like to follow Jesus' example in our own conversations? What if more meaningful interactions with others was a single 'yes' away? Join Alpine Chapel for Part One of ou...

You don't have to be a parent to help others experience the abundant life that Jesus offers. As parents, though, we have the unique opportunity to sow the seeds of that life by instilling a love for God's Word in our families (which starts with loving God's Word ourselves!). Join Alpine Chapel for a special message from Dave and Natalie Mudd about the power of God's Word to bring abundant life to...

Our lives are driven by our desires. For many, those desires are summed up in something called "the American Dream". We work and sweat and strive to make that dream a reality only to end up stressed out, exhausted, and ultimately unfulfilled. God created us for so much more. But in order to live into the future God has for us, we need a radical redirection of our hearts away from "the American Dre...

There's a difference between recovery and resurrection. Recovery means healing. It's what you do for yourself. But resurrection is different. Resurrection means you have nothing left, that you're dead and buried, and you need someone else to dig you out. Through the power of his own resurrection, Jesus is able to bring life back to the places where death has taken hold ... but only if we let him....

Faith isn't just one of the most important things you need in the valley. It's also one of the most difficult things to hold on to. When life makes us want to give up and throw in the towel, we need other people to come around us and help us keep believing. And that's why Jesus gave us each other. Join Alpine Chapel for Part Three of our series, "Valleys", and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd share...

Trials are a part of living as broken people in a broken world. We can think of them as interruptions or we can engage them as opportunities to grow. But beyond a renewed perspective on our valleys, we need a renewed posture: a way of approaching our valleys that isn't about us but about Jesus. Check out Part Two of Alpine Chapel's series, "Valleys", and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd helps us un...

If there's one thing that will keep us from what God has in store for our lives, it's how we respond in difficult times. These "valleys" happen more often than we'd like and most people just try to avoid them. But what if our valleys are actually good for us? What if God wants to redeem our valleys by renewing our perspective? Join Alpine Chapel for Part One of our new series, "Valleys", and liste...

Join us as we celebrate Easter 2018.

Forgiveness is a loaded term. Many people think it has to do with appeasing God so that he leaves you alone. But getting God to leave us alone was never the goal of forgiveness. In fact, forgiveness has more to do with allowing more of God into our lives and experiencing the joy that only He can bring. Join Alpine Chapel for Palm Sunday and Part Seven of our series, "HOPE", and take time to think...

What does God think of you? Have you ever pondered that question? Some people imagine God to be hostile towards them. Others think the best they can expect from him is a half-hearted tolerance. But what if God actually enjoys us? What if the whole point of this thing we call "life" is to enjoy and be enjoyed by God? Join Lead Pastor Dave Mudd and Joel Honneger for a conversation about family, fait...

When God works in our lives, it is an act of grace: an expression of God's unmerited favor to us. If we have experienced God's grace in the past, we can be sure that there is more grace he wants to show us in the future. But our experience of God's future grace will depend on how we respond to the grace that we have already received. Check out Part Five of Alpine's series, "HOPE", and listen as St...

God promises to work all things for the good of those who love him. That doesn't mean circumstances won't be difficult, though. That doesn't mean that our lives will always be easy. It does mean that no matter what happens, God can use our circumstances to accomplish our ultimate good: to know and be like Jesus. Check out Part Four of Alpine Chapel's series, "HOPE", and hear from Lead Pastor Dave...

Hope is the confident expectation of something better than what we're experiencing now. For some, though, the hurt and darkness of our past can obscure any vision for a future worth living for. Into this darkness, God gives us this incredible promise: He will work all things for the good of those who love him. Join Alpine Chapel for Part Three of our series, "HOPE", and hear powerful stories of Go...

Each of our lives is going somewhere. We may not be aware of it. We may not have picked the destination. But each of our lives is on a trajectory towards some ultimate end. And the difference between that reality exciting us or terrifying us is determined by whether or not we think the end of the story will be the best part. Join Alpine Chapel for Part Two of our Series, “HOPE”, and he...

When people talk about “hope”, they’re typically talking about things we wish would happen (even though we have no certainly that they will!). But when the Bible talks about hope, it’s something very different. Biblical hope assures us of a better tomorrow because it is based on the promises of a good and faithful God. Check out Part One of Alpine Chapel’s new series,...

When Jesus came, he didn’t come to offer us a new religion. He came to offer us a new relationship with the God of the universe. Like any relationship, though, there are times when we must take stock of where we’re at and decide how we’re going to move forward. Luckily, we have a God who is willing to work through whatever difficulty comes between us. Will we be willing, too? Joi...

Is your future guided by fear or faith? A future guided by fear is full of worry and drains the life out of today. A future guided by faith, though, makes tomorrow worth looking forward to. So what can we do today that allows us to live like tomorrow matters? Join Alpine for the final part of our series, “Making Change”, and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd shares how our church has bee...

The research is clear: giving is good, not only for the ones who are receiving but also for the ones doing the giving. But there’s a giving that goes beyond just being “good”; it’s a giving that goes beyond the benefit we bring to ourselves and others and becomes a reflection of God’s generosity towards us. When it comes to making change, how do we move from just givi...

Nobody wants it, but we can’t seem to get rid of it: stress. No matter what we do, the stress in our lives never seems to go away. In fact, it just seems to get worse. But what if the solution to our stress has been right in front of us all along? Would we really want to take advantage of the cure that we’re offered? Check out Part Two of Alpine Chapel’s series, “Making Cha...

What would it look like for us to create more space in our lives for Jesus in 2018? It’s a big question because in order for us to create that space, there’s changes we’ll need to make in our lives. But if we have the courage to make those changes, 2018 could be our best year ever. Check out Part One of Alpine’s new series, “Making Change”, and listen as Lead Pa...

As one year comes to a close, we look forward to what the next year will hold. We dream, plan, and make resolutions all around how we want to be better tomorrow than we were yesterday. But more often than not, our attempts at change lose steam before the year is half gone. That’s because the change we really need isn’t something we can accomplish outside-in. It is something God has to...

He’s the embodiment of Christmas joy and a new holiday classic: Buddy the Elf. We laugh at his childish approach to the “grown up” world outside the North Pole but there’s a lot we can learn from his childlikeness, especially when it comes to faith. So what does it look like for us to have faith like a child? Join Alpine Chapel for Part Three of our December series, “...

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is one of the most well-known Christmas stories of all time. Published over 150 years ago with over 20 film adaptations, its a story of redemption that we just can’t get enough of. But where does real redemption come from? And how do we know it when we find it? Check out Part Two of Alpine’s series, “Christmas at the Movies” and list...
