In Week 2 of our Golden Hour series on the Connect the Kingdom Podcast, we’re leaning into a message titled “Breathing Room.” Are you living without margin? So many of us measure our worth by productivity, but God designed a different rhythm from the very beginning.

This episode explores the Sabbath principle as a gift, not a restriction, but an invitation to stop striving and start trusting. If you’ve been working more but seeing less, this conversation will challenge you to step out of a slave mentality and into the freedom and provision God has for you.

Episode #3 of the podcast is here — and it’s one of our wildest rides yet.

We go from laughs to depth and back again. It starts with Olympic hot takes and unexpected rabbit trails, but quickly moves into real conversations about church hurt, behind-the-scenes moments from the Golden Hour series, and the powerful stories most people miss — like what happened to the widows who fed the prophets.

You’ll hear cutting-room-floor thoughts on hope, waiting for daylight, and why some seasons feel darker than others. There’s also a hilarious hunting story that completely derails us (in the best way), plus a fascinating dive into Baruch, the biblical canon, and where the Protestant Bible came from.

If you need something that will make you laugh, think, and hold onto hope — this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode of the Connect the Kingdom Podcast, we kick off our new series Golden Hour with a powerful look at what God does in life’s darkest moments. From Jeremiah’s pit in the mire to the promise of a coming sunrise, we look to hope before the light ever breaks through.
If you’ve been walking through a valley or fighting discouragement, this one’s for you. We talk about holding onto hope when it makes no sense, trusting your Shepherd in the dark, and remembering that people of light don’t have to fear the dark. 

Episode #2 of the long form Podcast is here — and it’s a journey from laughter to deep healing. In “Valentines Shenanigans and Healing Broken Hearts,” Pastors Trent, Chris, and Jonathan kick things off with some lighthearted Valentine’s stories and real-life moments behind the scenes. But as the conversation unfolds, it moves from fun to powerful — reflecting on a meaningful weekend, what God did in Sunday’s service, and why personal testimonies carry more weight than we often realize.

The heart of the episode lands in a deeply moving reflection on Laura Cowan’s testimony and the lasting impact it had on each of them. You’ll also hear behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make the final cut and why they mattered. The episode closes with honest encouragement and life-giving truth from Scripture — bringing hope to the grieving, courage to the hesitant, and healing to anyone walking through heartbreak.

This week on the Connect the Kingdom Podcast, we’re honored to share Laura Cowan’s powerful testimony — a deeply personal story of loss, healing, and redemption. 

Her story is a beautiful reminder that our lowest moments are not the end of the story. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can bring something good out of heartbreak, this episode will stir your faith. It’s a moving picture of how the Lord still brings beauty from ashes — and how hope can rise even in the darkest places.

In the first episode of the Connect the Kingdom Podcast, Pastor Trent Lowe joins Pastor Chris Fox and Pastor Jonathan Mitchum for a conversation that blends culture, church life, and biblical depth. They kick things off with Super Bowl 60 reactions before reflecting on a powerful moment from Sunday at Connect Church.

Pastor Trent then shares behind-the-scenes insights from the Holy Ground series, unpacking deeper layers from stories like Moses and the burning bush, Naaman’s seven dips, Jacob’s ladder, and Joshua at Jericho — including historical and archaeological details that bring Scripture to life. The episode wraps with a heartfelt prayer and sets the tone for honest, faith-centered conversations moving forward.

In week four of our Holy Ground series, we explore what it really looks like to walk by faith when the walls are still standing, when the waters haven’t parted yet, and God’s promises seem bigger than what you see in front of you? If you’ve ever felt like you’re circling the same problem or standing face-to-face with a wall that won’t move, this teaching is for you. 

What if heaven isn’t just a future promise, but a present reality God wants to reveal right where you are? From Jacob’s darkest night to Jesus’ bold invitation to pray “Your Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven,” this teaching explores how ordinary places become sacred when heaven meets earth. 
If you’ve ever felt like you were spinning your wheels and noty going anywhere, this episode is for you. Discover how awareness, acknowledgment, and action can turn any ground around.

This is week two of our Holy Ground series, In this episode Pastor Trent unpacks the story of Naaman and a muddy river that became the place of transformation. This teaching challenges our assumptions about how God works and invites us to see how a little faith can go a long way.

If you’ve ever wondered how your home, your relationships, or even your daily routines could become holy ground, this episode is for you. Lean in, listen closely, and discover how God can take what feels ordinary, messy, or uncomfortable and make it smooth as butter.
