In this Q&A episode, we dive into the challenges of being a Christian in the workplace. From standing out for the right reasons to leading with faith and integrity, we answer real questions from a recent workshop on how to thrive at work while staying true to your beliefs. Watch for practical advice on making a positive impact and living out your faith daily.

In this message, Pastor Joel Holm explores the profound truth that humanity is spiritually homeless, yet there is a divine story of God bringing people back home. But while we are here on earth, what is our role? Joel unpacks Isaiah 52, 55, and 58 to reveal three key actions we are called to: Strengthen the weak, steady the uncertain, and speak words of hope. Join us as we discover how we can be a part of bringing God's story to life.

Join us as we dive into the final chapter of John, where Jesus makes his 3rd appearance after His crucifixion to lovingly care for His disciples. We explore how He meets Peter in his doubt after his three denials of Christ, reminding us that our weaknesses can become strengths. 

Just as Jesus reassures Peter, He affirms to us that even when we feel stuck, He is our Light in the darkness. With His gentle whisper, “I am not finished yet,” we find hope and healing in His embrace.

Often we find ourselves worrying with fear and anxiety- which then prevents us from stepping into full faith.

John 20 introduces three people who represent us and through their stories, we can learn what it means to trust God no matter the circumstance. Lean into this message by Joel Holm to discover how we can overcome the doubts and fears in our lives.

In this episode of the Cottonwood Church Podcast, we explore how to live out your calling in both church and secular work environments. Discover how to bring purpose to your everyday work and let your job become a place of ministry.
