The Radiant Church Podcast

You grew up in church. You know the stories. You know who God is, but still you've chosen to walk away. And maybe you're discovering running from God doesn't produce the kind of life you had in mind. Jesus was "crushed for our iniquities," and that means He was wounded so you could live a better life, a more free life that comes directly from him!

Isaiah 53:5 tells us Jesus was wounded for our healing. It's a promise we can have today, but it raises some questions. Why doesn't God heal every person? Why do some people pray for healing and receive it, but not others?

Our world craves peace. We crave peace in our families, our marriages, our relationships, our communities; we want peace! But, lasting peace is almost impossible to come by. Pastor Andrew explains how Christ was wounded to bring us healing and in this healing he can bring true, lasting peace!

Money has a way of complicating things for us. It's one of the top sources of relational and marital conflicts, but what if we could uncomplicate money? What if we could simplify our finances by handling them God's way? *We want to apologize for a drop in video quality near the end of this teaching. We ran into some technical issues*

With all the big things happening in 2020, something slipped under the radar. For the first time, the majority of adult Americans 18+ are SINGLE! While single isn't an age, it is a season and Pastor Andrew explains why being single can actually be a gift!

Married life can get complicated, but it doesn't have to be; not if you follow God's plan. This week, Pastor Andrew shares the one thing every married couple needs to do which will guarantee a successful marriage!

Life and relationships can get pretty complicated, but it doesn't have to be - not if we follow God's plan! In this first talk in the series, we focus on five lies from the Enemy which can makings a whole lot more complicated than they should be.

How fulfilling is your life? What if everything you're told will bring you ultimate fulfillment is actually still leaving you feeling empty? We wrap up this series of talks called Four Cups learning about the promise of fulfillment God wants to bring to your life!

Many people have been set free from Darkness and brought into God's light, but they continue to live as if they're enslaved. Pastor Andrew explains that while God may have brought you out of your "Egypt," He's still gotta get the "Egypt" out of you!

Have you found yourself feeling as if your life is just "stuck?" Almost like you're trapped. You know there's more. You just don't know how where to start. But, God has a promise of salvation and it's available to you!

Join us in this new series of talks as we learn about the Core Four Promises of God, how they're available us today, and how they have shaped who we are and where we're headed as a church community!

Most of us haven't heard of a man named Simeon, but he plays an important role in the very early days of Jesus. Simeon saw in Jesus hope! *For Part 3 of Christmas Cards, watch Christmas at Radiant

Our world is so desperate for joy and yet it seems so elusive. We invite you to be part of Christmas at Radiant as we learn where we can discover the source of lasting joy!

Following God isn’t always easy and no one understands that better than Joseph. We don’t know much about him and yet he teaches us how to courageously follow and obey God!

Most people are familiar with The Christmas Story, but what if it didn't happen quite the way we thought? Was there really an innkeeper? Did the Wise Men actually see baby Jesus? We sort fact from legend in this episode of The Radiant Church podcast!

The Christmas Story is iconic and has been retold so many times that you might think there isn't anything left to learn. Well, what about this - what if Mary freaked out? How was she able to go through with such a monumental task?

For most people, prayer isn't the most exciting thing to talk about. It's not even exciting to practice. But, prayer really is powerful! As we close out our series of talks in James we learn how prayers of faith can be made by anyone and be powerful and effective!

They say "distance makes the heart grow fonder," but it can also make the heart grow harder. When there's relational distance between ourselves and others or even God, how do we close the gap?

We live in a world where social media algorithms award traffic to the most negative and emotion charged posts, where we're encouraged to comment on everything and let our voices be heard - unfiltered. But, is that responsible? We learn from James 3 how powerful our words are and how important it is to allow God to have control!

Are faith and works polar opposites or do they go hand-in-hand? We break down James 2:14-26 and learn why it's so important we understand the relationship between faith and works as Christians.

Prejudice is all around us and it’s easy to harbor prejudice even in subtle ways. James reminds us how important it is to reject prejudice as we live out or faith in Christ!

Troubles are what happens to you, temptation is what happens within you. When you're faced with either, how do you respond? James teaches us the proper way to respond by faith when we encounter troubling and tempting times!

One of the most important keys to staying positive in a negative world is learning to be content! Pastor Andrew ends this teaching series by teaching how comparison is the enemy of contentment and prevents us from staying positive!

It's hard to stay positive if you don't have passion, especially if you've lost your passion for God. So, how do you get it back? Learn how you can get your passion back and how God can use that passion to be a driving force for good!

Many face struggles and battles no one knows about and rarely do people receive real encouragement. Life-giving encouragement is needed in our world more than ever today!
