Connection Podcast

Have you ever felt like you had everything going for you - the right job, the car, the family, the money, the opportunities - but still felt like something was missing? Have you ever been going through a trial in life or a difficult season but thought, "I'm still good,"? And what's the difference between "joy" and "happiness" anyways? 

In this episode of the Connection Podcast, we were joined by 2 very special guests who brought some incredibly powerful and moving testimonies with them, as well as some real good preaching! Perhaps one of our favorite episodes we've recorded yet, we hope you enjoy this episode as we discuss joy and where we find pure joy in our lives.

Mary and Martha are two prominent and very well known women in the Bible - so who do you identify with more? Are you a Martha or a Mary? How do we know which one we are, and is one better than the other? These are just a few of the questions we ask during this episode, so join us as we dive into these stories of Martha and Mary and discuss why we really need to have both the Martha's and the Mary's in every situation.

Have you ever felt like you've lost your peace? Ever felt like everything just continues to pile on to your life and you can't seem to find peace anywhere in it all? Did you grow up in church singing, "I've got peace like a river in my soul?" Chances are, at some point in your life, you've felt like you didn't know where to find peace or how to get it, especially in the middle of difficult situations. 

Join us in this installment of the Connection Podcast as we discuss where (who) we can truly go to find peace, why Eze had the worst week of his life and why Noah doesn't want peace like a river. 

This episode is coming in HOT!

In the words of Paul, "I don't understand what I do." If you have ever said this about yourself, you NEED to listen to this episode where we discuss acceptance - something that a lot of us don't feel like we either have or can give. We felt some fire and the Holy Spirit working through us recording this episode, and we hope you all experience the same and receive something from it!

This was such an important topic for us to speak about, so join us as we discuss how we can learn to accept who we are, where we are, and where God fits in to all of this.

Imagine yourself down in the middle of the ocean, water all around you, filling your ears, nose, eyes, mouth; imagine if you could see the air all around you, covering everything you see. That's grace.

Grace is one of the most prominent themes in the Bible, but many times we often take it for granted and don't even realize it's there. So what is it exactly? Do we just have it? How do we know we have it? And what do we do with it once we have it? Join us this week as we discuss personal stories of grace, its meaning, and why God gave it to us. 

If you've ever felt like God has been keeping you in a season of waiting, you definitely don't want to miss this episode!

This week we discuss one of the hardest challenges that we think a lot of Christians struggle with today - waiting. So often God will make us wait for something, but the question is not only why He makes us wait, but HOW are we supposed to wait? All over the Bible - Abraham and Sarah, Noah, Joshua, Paul - God makes people wait. There's simply no getting around it, and we all have to go through it. 

But waiting doesn't mean the absence of God while He's busy with other people. It often means the exact opposite. Join us this week as we find out why God will make us wait and what we should do during that time!

The hardest part about faith isn't necessarily stepping out when you can't see the next step, but it's when you don't want to step out at all. In this episode, we discuss perhaps one of the most famous Bible stories of all time - Jesus walking on the water. As we dive into this story in scripture, we discover some key elements that we have to keep in mind when it comes to the storms in our lives and where Jesus is in them all. In fact, where is Jesus when the storms in our lives are raging and never ending? Has He just left us out in the middle to fend for ourselves? How do we overcome these obstacles and storms? Who is this story really about after all - Jesus or Peter?

This episode was a lot of fun to make, so join with us as we dive into this amazing story of faith, difficult situations, and focus!

Welcome to the 2nd episode of the Connection Podcast!

What's the point of telling people about Jesus Christ if they don't receive it? Why should we talk about our faith with others when we don't have influence or we have the perception that we're not good enough? As we discuss the Parable of the Seed and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, we find that our job is not the growth of the seed, but obedience in planting it. As we receive the Word of God in our hearts, we have to retain it for ourselves first to have it be rooted in us, then we can release it to others for their growth as well. 

Welcome to the 1st episode of the Connection Podcast! We dive right into scripture and begin talking about the Parable of the Four Soils, discussing how our hearts can have many different postures in different seasons. When we begin to change our lives and move towards a Christ-centered life, sometimes we have to do a lot of digging and changing in order for the Word of God to take root in our hearts.
