Captivate Podcast

This Sunday we concluded our series, “The 7 Hour Walk” by jumping into “Corner” as the Captivate cultural practice of taking our faith outside the church building and into the world, neighborhood, office, and relationships God has placed us in. 

If we’re honest, sharing Jesus with those outside the church can be a challenge. Sometimes we feel the pressure of needing to have the right answers or not wanting to hassle people with our faith. No one wants to feel like a salesman. But is that how Jesus shared the Gospel?

Have you ever wondered, “How would Jesus evangelize?” Well in Luke 24 the very first thing Jesus does after he defeats death through the resurrection is just that… He witnessed, and therefore showed us how to do it. He did not hassle anyone but rather he drew near to where people were, he cared about their pain, he walked more than he talked, and he didn’t force it. 

He went all the way with people. We unpacked this in a message called, “Witness Like Jesus Did”.

One thing the Bible makes clear is that we are never to test God. But there is one place in scripture that God boldly calls us to test Him! He says, “Test Me and see what I will do for the person that trust me in this area,” —generosity. God’s desire is to bless His people, that is abundantly clear, but He also desires to partner with us.

This Sunday is far from a guilt-filled money talk— we will discover that our unchanging, generous God doesn't want something from us, He wants something for us: a life where giving our time, talents, and treasure breaks the grip of materialism, puts Him first, and opens the floodgates of His promised blessings.

This Sunday we are in week three of our “The 7 Hour Walk” series looking at Contribute in a message titled, “Test God?!”

This week we continued our series “The 7 Hour Walk,” as we talked about how God wired us for divine connection as there’s a big difference between coming to a church building and connecting to the church family. 

The sad reality of church is it’s possible to come to church and still feel spiritually alone. It’s possible to be surrounded by people, but not truly be connected to people. It’s possible to be in close proximity to a spiritual family, but not experience intimacy with a spiritual family. And yet God never intended us to walk this life alone.

We jumped into Mark 2 as we study a story of a man who needed to get to Jesus, but could not get there on his own. His friends literally had to pick him up and carry him to the Savior. Sometimes life hits us so hard we feel unable to pick ourselves up and move forward. Often we know we need to get to God, His Word, prayer, church, etc. but it’s like we’re paralyzed.

The truth is we will all have seasons where we can’t walk physically, spiritually emotionally, or relationally and we will need others to walk us to Jesus. That’s Godly community. That’s Godly connection. That’s a Godly church. 

Tune into this week’s message called, “The Faith of The Four,” as we learn how we can take our next step together and truly CONNECT as God designed us to.

Last week we launched our new series, " The7 Hour Walk.” And this week we are answering the question—why church?

In a world that sees church as irrelevant or broken—and even among believers who treat it as a take what I need option or an unnecessary obligation—Scripture reminds us that church is where Jesus loves to be, in the midst of His people. It’s in church where we become the people we dream of becoming.

Whether you're faithfully showing up, sporadically attending, or questioning why you should bother at all, come discover (or rediscover) the joy and necessity of being part of the Bride He sacrificed for! May we all learn to say, ”I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD!'" (Psalm 122:1).

Tune into this week’s message!

So often in life we feel pressure to move faster, do more, and figure everything out. But Scripture doesn’t invite us to run with God, it invites us to walk with Him. This series is about simplifying our discipleship and walking with Jesus in a sustainable, life giving way. It’s not about adding more weight to our schedules, but recentering our lives around five foundational practices that help us grow together, with intention and clarity: Commune. Church. Connect. Contribute. Corner.

We’re starting this week with the first and most important step: Communing with Jesus. This is about creating space to be with Jesus personally and daily. We don’t want to be rushing into activity or responsibility, but learning to slow down, listen, and walk with Him before everything else. It’s where the walk begins.

Before we work for Him we need to learn to walk with him. Tune into this week’s message!

As we head into a new year we often have plans, goals, and maybe even a "word" we're going after in the new year. But have we slowed down long enough to ask God for his plans and thoughts for us this year?

Scripture tells us that God has many thoughts for us. In fact, David tells us in a Psalm we will be studying that his thoughts for us outnumber the grains of sand of the sea shore… that’s a lot of thoughts! But do we know what they are? Have we treasured them as the Psalm tells us to do and sought them out so we know where we ought to go this year? 

Often we miss God’s thoughts and goals for us in a new year because we have our own thoughts and goals. But the truth is, if our biggest goal for 2026 is something we can do without God then it’s probably not from God. God wants to do something through us only he can do, but he’s waiting on our “yes.” See without him we can’t, but without us he often won’t. 

God wants partnership with us, for us to lean into his will for our year. And there’s no safer, happier, or more fulfilling place to be than the will of God. See 2026 is not about what we could do, it’s about what we’re called to do. Tune into this week’s message, “His Word. Your Yes.”
