Crosswalk Chattanooga Podcast

In this, our final chapter of the second season of the Uncomfortable series, Pastor Tim challenges us to live in a culture of gratitude rather than the prevailing lifestyle of consumption.

Uncomfortable Unity asks the question, "Does God intend for us to be completely comfortable?" and wonders if there is such a thing as comfortable unity.

In today's episode, Pastor Dave explores the extravagant and uncomfortable nature of true worship. Is it possible to worship passively or partially? Or is this an all in, everything or nothing verb we are called to experience?

Join us in celebrating our fifth anniversary. Pastor Tim leads a discussion considering the miraculous ways God has led us in the past. And Pastor Dave explores God's plans for our future.

Today, we launch season two of the Uncomfortable series. In this first episode, Pastor Tim Gillespie discusses God's plan for His people to live in community. And while it is uncomfortable and challenging to get along, church is a practice ground for the community of heaven.

This week Pastor Dave leads a study of 1 Samuel 14 as we consider the unique power unleashed in the cause of Christ when young and old partner across the generations. Join us for this Campus Week teaching as we discover God's plan for rejuvenation and celebrate the blessings of our Future Of ministry to college students.

Week five of our Un/Broken series brings Pastor Paddy McCoy from our Portland campus to explore the experience of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane and the lessons we learn about mental health. This is especially meaningful as Pastor Paddy vulnerably shares his personal journey on this subject.

Our Un/Broken series explores the experience of Elijah to uncover God's pattern of treating mental health crises. Follow along as we discuss the unpardonable sin, giants of faith who struggle with suicidal ideation and a multidisciplinary God holistically treating our wounds.

Welcome to our study of Jesus' healing of the man possessed by demons, as told by Mark in his Gospel. Jesus bounds on shore unworried if it makes Him unclean to touch, soothe and heal this bedraggled outcast. And, in the end, Jesus leaves the man a task much like that He gives us, "Go, tell what I have done for you."

Today we track Jesus, during the early days of his adulthood, into a wilderness of despair, temptation and mental anguish. Here, we realize we can take the scripture's message seriously. Jesus understands our every temptation, bears our griefs and carries our pain.

Join us as Pastor Tim launches a new series exploring the many challenges Christians face with mental health crises. We will need courage and heart to ask the difficult questions. But the Bible is well prepared to meet us where we truly live amidst anxiety, loneliness, depression, suicidal ideation and every manner of mental health difficulty.

As we celebrate a campus day in Chattanooga, Pastor Dave explores our faith community's elemental characteristics and values. We take a look at the answers to what it means to be a family member of the Crosswalk Church.

The final episode of Elemental Season 2 recommends Love as the roofline of our house of faith. All of our questions or understandings from scripture should be tested by the claim that God is Love. Love is the picture on the box of puzzle pieces showing how they should all be arranged.

The power and importance of Community is the exploration of the fourth episode in our series. Pastor Tim is on campus to deliver this message on the importance of faith community.

This third episode of our second Elemental season focuses on Freedom through a strange metaphor: the Oppenheimer Latte. Is it possible that God refuses to define love without freedom? What a tremendous promise that salvation is available to us all, but in the end, we can refuse it. We are free.

Today we begin the second season of our Elemental series. Where season one asked the question of what to do with our questions and doubts, the second season focuses on elemental building blocks we should consider for our house of faith. And this week, we discuss the foundation... Jesus.

As summer roles into fall we begin to think about heading back to school. So today we invite Chaplain Tabor Nudd from our Collegedale Academy school system to welcome students back from summer and into the new school year.

Our final episode of The Little Letters explores the message of 3 John. Pastor Dave discusses the sin of comparison, the pressure we can feel to be special and how this can take us far away from a life of love and service.

The Little Letters continues with 2 John as we explore the relationship between truth and love. Amidst this study we come face-to-face with Jesus... this man is fully God (who is love) and also claims to be the way, the truth and the life.

Today Pastor Dave continues our series on The Little Letters with an exposition on 1 John 4 and 5. In this passage we discover 3 critical identifiers of real love and drink in the truth that God is love.

In this episode, Pastor Dave draws lessons from the love of his father, Duane Ferguson. Pivotal in our understanding of who God is, Jesus shows up. He shows up in our joys, pain, triumphs, and discouragement. And just as we would wish for an earthly father, God saves His best for us.

Questions explores the challenges of faith, the confusion we face and how God feels about us when we doubt. As we turn the pages of scripture we encounter a God who is patient with our understandings and encourages us to be honest about our journey. In the end, as demonstrated through the life of John the Baptist, He is more interested in our pursuit of His love than that we are correct in all our...

Pastor Tim Gillespie and Crosswalk Chattanooga welcome the Ferguson's to our church family as Pastor Dave Ferguson joins in the role of lead pastor for our church and executive leadership team member for Crosswalk Global.
