Raise your hand if you'd like a little more free time in your calendar. We all would! And while free time is good, Jesus offers you something even better: Freedom. Join us for this week's podcast to discover how spiritual freedom trumps scheduled free time in every way!

Regular rest is a part of God's plan for you to live at a sane and sustainable pace. The problem is that we are **really bad** at resting! This week's podcast is devoted to helping you find the physical, emotional and spiritual rest you desperately need.

Friend: "How have you been?"

You: "SOOO BUSY!!!"

Is there even another way to answer that question? There is! In this week's podcast, we show how the answer to your overworked, overextended life is found in Jesus.

Understanding what the Bible teaches about the afterlife can be an eye-opening experience. But, if we aren't careful, we can become so focused on the hereafter that we lose sight of the opportunities God gives us in the here and now. Join us for the final week of our Afterlife series to see how Jesus connects this life with the life to come.

Red devils and pitchforks? Burning sulfur and flames? Popular conceptions of hell range from cartoonish to terrifying. What does the Bible really say? How could a loving God also allow a place like hell? Pastor Dan answers all of those questions and more in this week's message!

You've probably seen heaven pictured as a place in the clouds where people float around all day playing harps. But is that really what God has in store for us? Or does God offer an eternity that's far better? Join us for week 2 of our series, "Afterlife" and discover a Heaven worth going to.

Everybody wonders what happens when we die, but most of us have come to believe it's impossible to know until we get there. If that's true, why did Jesus spend so much time talking about the afterlife? Maybe it isn't supposed to be a mystery - maybe God has already revealed to us everything we wish we knew. Join us for the first week of our "Afterlife" series as Pastor Dan explains more!

Jesus is the hope of the world - we firmly believe that. But do we live it? Jon Las, pastor of Mosaic Church in Lloydminster, Alberta challenges us to see our role in making Jesus famous in our city!

Filled with cheesy acting and suspect theology, The Shack was not well-received inside (or outside) of the church. But despite all of its theological and artistic issues, the film asks a question we all wrestle with: Why would a good God allow so much suffering? Join us for the final installment of "At The Movies" as we seek a Biblical response to life's pain.

Mad Max is a movie franchise known for-over-the top action set within a post-apocalyptic wasteland. And yet, these movies have some surprisingly spiritual themes. What can they teach us about our world at large, and our lives in particular? How do they reflect (and deny) the story of Scripture? Join us for week 3 of our "God At The Movies" series to find out!
