Wake Before the Day

Genesis 2 zooms in on the intimate relationship God has with his people. God "commanded" and spoke creation into being whereas God "made" Adam and Eve. Catch the difference?

In episode #61 we discuss Ephesians 5 and the beauty of marriage. Today people might thumb their noses at the word "submit" but when you read the Bible you see that this is exactly what Jesus did and calls us to do. When both the husband and wife do this it is nothing but a gift!

Pilate is in a pickle! The Jews want Jesus dead but deep down it seems he knows Jesus is innocent. The conversation between Jesus and Pilate is powerful - each flexing one's power. Jesus reminds us no one on earth would have power had it not been given to them from God. Let's unpack what this means for us today.

Join us as we discuss John 17 and the beauty of completing a task previously begun. We'll also throw out the idea that we should revisit our prayers asking God to change our circumstances. It's possible God has us right where he wants us and is longing to use us to do kingdom work there.

In this episode we talk about God as our "Good Shepherd" and the special relationship people often have with their pets! We also discuss how sin is often is our attempt to meet a legitimate need in an illegitimate way.

Is it possible that the "scandal" of Jesus's birth followed him into his ministry? We believe it is definitely possible. The stable, star and manger are often brought up this time of year but ask yourself this, of all the ways God could have come to us why did he come as a baby? When you look at Jesus's family you'll realize that Jesus came from the broken for the broken. Join us for our last podc...

Matthew 16 offers us deep teaching, comedy and a reminder to stay focused on the mission. Jesus uses the simple things of this world like seeds and bread to teach very important kingdom truths.

In this episode we talk about the superstitions plaguing Herod and a fresh perspective on the "Feeding of the Five Thousand". These stories often depict Jesus beaming and exuding joy while being surrounded by so many people. However, when you read the story Jesus was seeking solitude because his cousin was just murdered. In the midst of his sadness Jesus brought love and blessing to those around h...

Klarc, Bobbie and Kirbie break down Matthew 9 and discuss a variety of things. Pay attention to how our whole person is integrated (ie heart, mind, body etc). Notice the people stand in awe how a "man" could have the power of God. Lastly, receive Jesus's invitation to "follow me" on a daily basis.

God wants a relationship with you! He's not interested in us saying the "correct answers" in Sunday school and doing what we want the rest of the week. He wants us to live out what we say we believe. When Jesus drops this gem on the religious leaders it ruffles feathers but it's an important word for us today as well. Join Klarc & Bobbie for Matthew 7.

Join Klarc and Bobbie as they unpack Matthew 2. The discussion revolves around the coming of the magi, the significance of Bethlehem and addressing a question you might have asked, does God speak through dreams today? Merry Christmas!

Join us for some Christmas trivia and a conversation about peace with God and peace within ourselves! Let's look at Philippians 4 together.

The cycle of judgment and forgiveness is very real in Hosea! Remember, God's motivation for judgment and consequences is his love. His ultimate desire is to bring his people back to himself!

Hosea 11 offers hope and relief in a book full of judgment. This chapter helps us form a Biblical view of God and his heart. Let's give God credit for how great his love is!

In order to fully grasp the beauty of God and his gift to us in Jesus we need to understand the depth of our sin. This podcast focuses on the heavy but necessary parts of Hosea that declare the depth of humanity's sin and our need for God. While there are consequences to our decisions remember when we repent of our sin God and his love have the final word.

Have you ever said "I'm sorry" just to get past a situation but deep down didn't really mean it? Yeah, me too. God knows our hearts and calls out Israel when they try to say "sorry" but don't change the way they live. Let's dive into Hosea 6 and hear the word of the Lord for us today.

Hosea 4 is a heavy hitter forcing us to address the ways we relate to Israel. Here are some questions we invite you to ask: what small decisions are you making that are compromising your relationship with Jesus? What separates you from someone of the world?

Join us for our first podcast on the book of Hosea! The poetic books tells a real life parable revealing the adulterous heart of humanity but more importantly the loving heart of God!

Authority and order are good. In every realm of life these are necessary whether it be in school, church, work or the home. It's when humans abuse authority that things go south. So let's talk about authority, freedom and combatting sins of 'taking' with a life of 'giving'.

Join Klarc, Bobbie and the kiddos at the dinner table for a conversation on the resurrection. Why is the resurrection important? Have you ever noticed the resurrection occurred right after the sabbath? Let's dive into Mark 16!

In episode 15 Pastor Klarc and Bobbie address everything that happens in Mark 11 but focus in on the bizarre story of Jesus cursing the fig tree. Seriously, what did the fig tree do to Jesus?!

Mark 9 discusses kingdom "power" and the importance of humility. Join Klarc and Bobbie as they unpack a dynamic chapter from the gospels!

In this podcast we discuss riddles, parables and the difference between the two. We also encourage you to ask your questions and bring up your doubts, that is part of the spiritual journey Jesus invites you into!

Imagine you're legs don't work and you've finally been given the chance to meet Jesus face to face. Word on the street is he is a healer and he comes to you and says .... "Your sins are forgiven"?! Wait, I need my legs to work! Why would Jesus address the heart before the need? Join in on the conversation as we talk about Mark 2.

What does it mean to "live life in a manner worthy of the calling we've received?" In addition to answering this we discuss "demonization" and the importance of forgiveness on our spiritual journey.
