Beyond the Row

Happy Easter everyone! After taking the week off from the podcast, our crew is refreshed and ready to get into not just a powerful conversation about the local Body of Christ but also what a transformed life is really all about. New vibe, same podcast; welcome back to 'Beyond the Row'. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

Why is it easier to stay quiet about your faith than to share your faith with those who aren’t Christians or a part of a church? Or, how often are we really asking ourselves if we're living out our lives for Christ? This week we're asking these hard questions, not to bring anyone down, but rather to build each other up on mission for Him. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

When you go on a road trip are you usually the driver or passenger? Do you see any correlation with that in other areas of your life? What about with our spiritual journeys? As Christians, we're called to be drivers, but many of us default to the passenger seat. Today we're talking more about what that means and we have some biblical evidence to support that. Today's speakers: Nate &am...

No matter how busy we are it seems there's always still moments where we find ourselves wasting time. If we're already crunched for time, why do we do that? Or, do you ever sit and consider how much time we actually have left on this earth? Scripture contains wisdom on the importance of maintaining our time, yet it still feels so hard to balance. Today we're raising these concerns as w...

Have you ever ran out of gas on a long trip? If so, you may have felt helpless in a way; knowing what you need but not knowing how to get it. Emotional fuel is a similar phenomenon. Are we using more fuel than we're replenishing? Is the fuel we're getting the right fuel? Join us today as we unpack these questions and the importance of having Biblical relationships in our lives. Today's...

If someone asked you what your gifts are, what would you say? We're all gifted in various ways, but we can often depend on our gifts too much. Sometimes even at the expense of our character. Leaders will often sabotage themselves when their gift gets bigger than they are. How do we stay grounded? How do we rely on God instead? We're talking about that and more on today's episode of BtR...

Have you ever felt like you had to be something you weren’t? What about importance of the outside of ourselves reflecting what God is doing on the inside? Today we're talking about the transformation that Christ offers, rather than the facade that religion too often becomes. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

This week was all about viewing ourselves like a computer.  Whatever we put into will come out, or as it's been called before, the "GIGO" principle. It's our responsibility to ask ourselves if what we're putting in our heart reflects Christ. Today speakers: Nate & Nick

Today we want you to ask yourself, am I a thermostat or a thermometer?  What does that mean? Why is it important?  Which one should I be?  Christians either reflect the climate around them or they will set it.  Join our conversation and see which one represents you. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

When we think about the Golden Buddha Principle, we begin to realize how much we can judge a book by its cover. But when you open the book and begin to read it, more times than not it becomes a joy. It's the difference between our perspective and our potential. Are we living out of our potential? Speakers: Nate & Abe

Christians can fall into one of the two traps: becoming spiritually fat or being spiritually thin. Why are both of these easy to do? And why is it important to fight against both? In this episode, we look at some hard truths that we must address in order to be fully what God wants us to be in Him. Todays speakers: Nate & Abe

"New year, new me". Have you ever found yourself saying something like that? Resolutions are popular every January but this past Sunday's message went deeper than that. Spiritual disciplines aren't just a trendy resolution, and on today's episode we're talking about why they're important. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a great Christmas and holiday season. We're back at it, fresh for 2024 and looking forward to sharing this week's episode with you. This past week's message was all about the future of Avenue and the type of values we believe will drive us forward. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

We are wrapping up 2023 with the last Sunday message of the year, "Eternal Home", from our sermon series "Home for Christmas". Join us in this year's finale as Nate and Nick discuss Bill's message about our eternal home as christians; being with Christ. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from us at BtR! Today's speakers: Nate & Nick

Have you ever had to confess a sin to someone, and you weren't sure how they would respond? Or what about having to ask forgiveness from a love one? Today we're dissecting the story of the prodigal son and weighing in with our own experiences that relate. Maybe you have a prodigal son story too. Join us this week as we go "beyond the row" together! Today's speakers: Nate, Abe...

New month, new series. Welcome to our "Home for Christmas" series at Avenue Church. Today we're talking about what 'home' is for us, as well as what biblical context home is for so many. Join in on the conversation, and go Beyond the Row with us! Today's speakers: Nate, Jason & Nick

What does it mean when we're asked to be 'fishers of men"? Have you ever been invited to something that changed your life? Today we're asking questions that all revolve around the power of an invitation. Not only that, but what would pursuing that invitation farther into discipleship? Join us today as we talk about that and more on BrR. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We had such a great time this past weekend with our 'Family Sunday', and today we're going deeper into the importance of this next generation of believers and Christ followers. Why is it so important to equip young believers? If not our influence what influence is the world providing for our kids? We tackle this and more on today's episode of BtR. Today...

It's hard to ignore all the events going on in the world today, and it's within reason to ponder and consider these events being related to the end of the world. Do we have reason to be concerned? What does scripture say? And, are these events prophetic in any way? Join us as we discuss Nate's past week sermon entitled, "Sign of the Times". Today's speakers: Nate & Ni...

We're wrapping up the 'Starting Point' series today, and talking about not only what we learned from this series but also what some tangible next steps are for the capital 'C' Chuch. Today's speakers: Nate, Abe & Nick

This week we're talking about one of the best gifts that Christ offers; His amazing grace. But have we abused that gift? Or the opposite, are we living as if we deserve it? Today we're asking some of those questions and diving deeper in the topic of such a grace, we hope this sparks conversation in your life as well. Thanks for listening! Today's speakers: Nate & Nick

Today's conversation is a deep, yet simple one; what can wash away our sin? The answer is equally deep and simple; nothing can wash our sin away outside of the blood of Jesus. No matter the sin, no matter guilt, Jesus came to save us, it's up to you to decide what to do with that information. Join the discussion today and tackle these difficult questions with us. Today's speakers: Nate...

Taking a break from our "Starting Point" series, this week's episode is about our annual "Be Generous" campaign going on at Avenue Church. Also for our 40th episode, we have our special guest Jason Swank with us today! Christ calls us to be generous with our time, talents and tithe, join us as we look deeper into what Christian generosity looks like. Today's speakers: N...

Everything has a starting point, including your faith journey.  For most of us, it started when we were kids. For many, it got damaged along the way, and we need a restart—an adult start. Today, we address one of the most perplexing aspects of faith and religion: the Role of Rules.  Today's Speakers: Abe, Nick & Nate

Faith has a starting point. Today we're looking at not just examples of great faith in the Bible, but also the great promises of God that have shaped our world into what it is today. Regardless of our sin, God's promises remain firm and true. Our special guest this week is Liz Hultz! Today's Speakers: Abe, Nick & Liz
