June 03 Endless Pursuit
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. In this message from our Psalm 23 series, Pastor Alex Wilson unpacks what David meant when he said only goodness and mercy will pursue us. The Hebrew word for follow means to happily hunt. God does not chase you to harm you. He pursues you the way the Hound of Heaven pursues, unhurried and relentless, all the way to the cross. If you have ever felt too dirty or too far gone, this one is for you.

May 31 To Live is Christ
Paul wrote “to live is Christ, to die is gain” from a prison cell, not knowing if he’d live or die. And he was still steady, joyful, and free. In this episode we walk through Philippians 1:19-26 and unpack what it actually looks like to live that way, where Jesus is so much of your life that nothing, not even death, can shake you. We get into the fill-in-the-blank that exposes what you’re really living for, what it means to magnify Christ as a telescope to the church and a microscope to the world, and the grace that does the work in you so you stop white-knuckling your way into loving God.
After the Amen question: In what area of your life does Christ need to be magnified?

May 30 How to Know You're Safe in Christ
Pslams 23 Week 5.
You don’t always feel safe following Jesus, but feeling safe and being safe are two different things. In this message from Psalm 23:5, we walk through 4 things God wants you to know so you can stop waiting on the cliff and jump: you’re fed, you’re gated, you’re anointed, and you’re quenched.
Walk by faith, not by feelings.

May 24 How to Handle Frustrations
Paul was in prison. People were preaching against him just to make his life harder. And he was still full of joy. How?
In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani jump back into our Philippians “Stress Less” series with chapter 1:12-18, an episode we’re calling FRUSTRATIONS. Because let’s be real, you’re frustrated with someone or something right now. A difficult season. A difficult person. Plans that got shut down. A baby that won’t sleep. A coworker climbing the ladder at your expense.
STUDY GUIDE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b-dMfFmISf30NKg3sJ0ChlT76X0Z3wIt/view?usp=sharing
Paul knew that feeling. And he shows us that the very thing frustrating you is the thing God is using to advance His kingdom.
In this episode we talk about: • Why we actually NEED frustrations (and what they’re doing in us) • Why difficult PEOPLE last longer than difficult TIMES • The Matthew 7 plank-in-your-eye principle and how it kills frustration at the root • Why people use God to climb the ladder of fame (Mike Tyson, Theo Von, Steven Furtick conversation included) • A powerful picture from Pilgrim’s Progress (Feeble Mind & Ready-to-Halt) • Why our culture says “ghost them, quit, move, medicate” and why the gospel says something better • Lokelani on why she welcomes the suffering of having a big family in a culture that treats kids like a burden
If Christ is being proclaimed, even through your hardest season, nothing can ultimately frustrate you.

May 19 It's Just a Shadow
In
Psalm 23:4, David shifts from talking *about* God to talking *to* God — and shows us how to walk through the darkest seasons of life without fear. Pastor Alex Wilson teaches that death hit Jesus on the cross so that for the believer, what's left is only a shadow. Whether you're in a season of grief, anxiety, broken relationships, financial stress, or spiritual darkness, this message will remind you that our God is not distant. He is the God of the valley — the One who steps off the mountain and walks with His sheep through every shadow.Topics covered:- Why Christianity is not a prosperity gospel- The omnipresence of God in dark seasons- The meaning of the shepherd's rod and staff- How the cross changes the way God deals with us- Why God *wants* to be with you in the mess—House Church Kauai is a family-integrated church gathering in a garage on Kauai, Hawaii and Pastor by Alex Wilson of AMEN PODCAST. We believe the local church gathers around the Word of God: expository preaching, family worship, and genuine community. LINKS Website: https://housechurchkauai.comPodcast (Spotify):

May 10 holy aesthetic
Everyone talks about aesthetic. Your feed, your room, your coffee shop, your fit. But there’s a Greek word in the Bible that only shows up one time in the entire New Testament, and it might change the way you see your whole life.
In this episode of Amen Podcast, Pastor Alex and Lokelani Wilson walk through Philippians 1 verses 9 through 11 and unpack what Paul actually prayed for the church. Spoiler: it’s not about how your life looks. It’s about what you can see.
We talk about the difference between feeling something is off and knowing something is off, why love without knowledge falls apart, why knowledge without love falls apart, and the two questions that will help you discern almost any decision you face.
Plus, Lokelani shares what she’s discerning two days from her due date with baby number seven.
