Mountain Ridge Church Podcast

Today anxiety, division, navigating difficult family situations, daily struggles, and heartbreak seem to be the norm. Add to these an unprecedented level of outrage and the result is a culture biting and devouring itself. It is sad and discouraging until it gets personal, then it becomes bitter and tragic. Your problems are different than mine. It is why we stumble and struggle to understand each...

Have you ever said something like, “If only I knew then what I know now?” Most of us have. There is usually some regret packed in. It is a confession. We would have made different decisions or taken different actions if we had a chance to do it again. We learn from experience. Experience is a good teacher, but it isn’t the only teacher.   What if you didn’t have to say that again? What if you coul...

Christmas sounds like hope. It sounds like peace, love, and joy. What do hope, peace, love, and joy sound like…well it’s hard to explain, but you know it when you hear it, just like you know what depression, division, hate, and misery sound like. It is the sound of our problems being turned upside down by a solution we never saw coming. It is the familiar tones of confidence and well-being, the so...

Guest Speaker - Danny Vinculado joins us for a special message.

Where have you been sent?

How often do you think about the future? How often do you think about the future you? We are not the first people who need clarity about the future.

God wants you to live a connected life. A life connected to Him, connected to others, and connected to your own soul. To make this happen, He sent you an advocate, a counselor, a friend. The Holy Spirit.

This week in the series, we're honing in on patience, kindness, and goodness. Considering these fruits of the Spirit, it's easy to see how they can impact the world around us.

Did you know someone is fighting for you to stay connected? The Holy Spirit, or back in the pre-cell phone days, the Holy Ghost fights for you. He works tirelessly to connect you to God, to connect you to others, and to connect you to your own soul. The Holy Spirit is FOR you. God does not want you to live disconnected. Jesus died so you can be connected, and the Holy Spirit has come to connect yo...

As we start a new series today called Ghost Stories, we are talking about learning to trust the one who fights for you. You have a life fiduciary. Prior generations called him the Holy Ghost, today the Holy Spirit or Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is not some mystical force. He is a person to know, He is God the Spirit. He has emotions, He has power, He has love and He is an advocate for You.

In today's podcast, Pastor Brett and Pastor Cory talk about the last S in the Bless series, which is sharing your story. They open up about how they each encountered Jesus and also what it's been like to share that story with others.

In today's episode, we will hear from Steve and Barb MacIssac on how serving their neighbors opens doors to be a blessing. During their conversation with Pastor Brett, you will discover the power of being a blessing to not only your neighbors but also the people you work with.

In today's episode, Pastor Brett sits down with Rob and Julie Stiner to talk about their life-changing experience overseas. They share how sitting down and eating with people opens the door to building new friendships. Rob also shares how food is an equalizer that allows for meaningful relationships to be built.

On today's episode, Pastor Brett is talking with Marry Ann Permenter about the importance of listening. Listening is the next focus in the Bless practice. This practice can be a game-changer in the lives of those we are called to bless.
