In Acts 14, we’re reminded that Jesus is the Door—and walking through Him leads to abundant life. This episode explores four gifts of faith: true healing, true worship, strength through hardship, and the power of community.

As we step into a new year, we return to Acts 13 and are reminded that a Spirit-filled life isn’t about talent, volume, or ambition—it’s about abiding in Christ. In this conversation, we explore what it means to live set apart, cultivate healthy spiritual habits, and hold humility and boldness together. From scripture memorization to confronting selfish ambition, this episode invites us to slow down, listen to the Holy Spirit, and let God shape our habits before our habits shape us. When we empty ourselves of noise, offense, and entitlement, God faithfully fills us with His presence—and that’s where real transformation begins.

In Acts 13, we see what a Spirit-full life looks like: setting healthy habits, living set apart, stepping out with humility and boldness, studying God’s Word, and seeking Jesus continually. If you’re already feeling low on energy or discouraged by resolutions, this message is an invitation to ditch self-reliance and tap into the well that never runs dry—the love of God made available through the Holy Spirit.

Capping off the Christmas series, this episode explores what it really means to receive God’s love—and what gets in the way. From fear and self-sufficiency to compassion fatigue and the balance of grace + truth, it’s a practical, hope-filled reset for the new year. Don’t do 2026 alone—lean into Jesus and lean into community.

As we close out the year, we’re reminded that Christmas didn’t end on December 25. The greatest gift Jesus brings is love—a courageous, sacrificial commitment marked by grace and truth. In a world filled with darkness and brokenness, God stepped into our story so we could experience real love and share it with others. As you head into the new year, which gift do you need most: hope, joy, peace, or love?

Could you use more peace this Christmas season? In this episode, we talk about the kind of peace the world can’t offer — peace found in God’s presence, made possible because Jesus came to earth as a baby. A peace that transcends understanding and invites us to trust, follow, and believe again.

In this message, Dr. Carl Follingstad explores the deep and lasting joy found in salvation. From the humble arrival of Jesus in Luke 2 to the victorious triumph of Christ in Colossians, this teaching traces God’s redemptive plan and reminds us that true joy is rooted not in circumstances, but in who Jesus is and what He has done.

Joy isn’t just a feeling for easy seasons. In this episode, Pastor Jose and Dr. Carl talk through Luke 2 and the “good news of great joy” — exploring how Jesus as Savior, Messiah, and Lord anchors joy even in grief, hardship, and unmet expectations.

This episode of Conversations kicks off a Christmas series by exploring how each Gospel tells the story of Christ’s arrival through a different lens. The discussion centers on redefining hope, recognizing God’s provision, and anchoring our lives in Jesus rather than ourselves. A reminder that Advent isn’t just something we revisit each year—it’s an invitation to believe, repent, and rest in who God says we are.

This message explores how gratitude and generosity combat hopelessness, how humility creates space for God to work, and how true rest is found in who He says you are—not in what you can control.
