Connect Community Podcast

It is safe to say that since March 2020 our relationships have suffered additional pressure and stress. Maybe some of your relationships have been damaged in a way that has been surprising to you. You thought you were prepared; you thought you were in a better situation. 

Pastor JD introduces our new relationship series titled "In Repair". It is time for healing, restoration, and peace. In this message, you will hear why this process must start with you.

We hope this series blesses you and helps you live better.

Sometimes we can lump the worst part of us in one big thing; our bad habits, our particular sensitivity to specific situations, a bad memory, that physical trait we don't like very much. These, and other things that make-up who we are, are not the same thing. Some of these things are inherited, others are part of our upbringing, others are genetic, and others yet are of our own doing.

In this last part of Facing Your Demons, Pastor JD shares a message about overcoming curses. What comes to mind when you think of a curse? Are curses a way for God to control human beings? If you are living under a curse, what can you do about it?

We hope this message blesses you and helps you live better!

The reality that evil spirits are real is seldom an idea that is challenged. Exorcism has existed for at least 3,500 years. The search for the occult in our country is increasing. People are looking for spirituality in all sorts of places.

How do you respond to the reality of evil spirits? Have you faced them in your life or in your family?

We hope this message blesses you and inspires you to live a more fulfilling life. We aim to connect you to God, to others, and to your purpose.

The primary place where we battle things like stress and anxiety is in the mind. Sure surrounding circumstances can affect us, but the battleground that is constantly in conflict is the mind. That space in you no one can see, but it determines how you feel, how you make decisions, and how you relate to others. Let's explore how to have a healthy mind in light of the Scriptures.

We hope this message blesses you and helps you live better.

We all have come to a place where we have to face that part of us we don't really like. We call it "Facing Our Demons". But what are we actually facing? Is it an immutable part of us? Are we helpless in the face of these shortcomings and limitations?

Pastor JD introduces this brand new series with a message titled "it was not by chance". We hope it blesses you, inspires you, and helps you live better!

We live in an age when emotional connection is increasingly going virtual, and it seems that negative emotion and hostility are more prevalent in the virtual world than in the real world. Pastor JD concludes the Better Perspectives series with a message about how to be pleasant and kind without giving in to the wave of hostility and manipulation we face today. We hope this service blesses you and inspires you to live better.

What does it mean to believe in God? Is arriving at the conclusion that it is plausible that a supreme being or intelligence has had a hand in the existence of the universe and creation to believe in God?

Can you believe in something and do nothing about it?

When someone believes in God, and opens their heart and senses to experience the divine, there is an awareness that sets in. If that person opens their heart, they will realize there is a divine call beseeching them toward a spiritual journey. 

Jesus was the supreme example of this journey. Pastor JD shares a strong message about the divine call, and the 3 stages a believer will go through should he or she decide to answer it. 

We hope this message blesses you and inspires you to live better.

What would your life look like if you lived as though you trust God. Many times we say and confess our trust, but how much better could our lives be if our actions reflected it? Pastor Alini Müller shares a compelling message about the heroes of faith and how their example leads us to trust God all the more.

For many, the path to a better life means better circumstances – a better surrounding, a better situation, or even a better past. However, when there is improvement on two or three of those areas they realize life still doesn't feel better. Why? Whether you are an optimist stuck in the same mindset believing things will change, or you are a pessimist and you already saw the end coming, I want you to consider the idea that your perspective might be attached to untruths. Ideas, patterns of thinking, and assumptions that are leading you to see things differently than they already are. Join us, as Pastor JD and Austin Brennan sit down for a thought provoking conversation.

We will all have moments and seasons when we will face the fire. In this message, Pastor JD shares a better perspective on how to face difficult situations beyond your control. We hope this message blesses you and helps you live better.
