Many people talk a great game when it comes to knowing Jesus Christ. But, as we've all heard, actions speak louder than words, and the way you give your money towards Christ's work may, in fact, be the loudest thing you've ever done. In this episode, Jarrod looks at a familiar parable of Christ, as he helps us examine our faith through the lens of giving.

Grace Community Church is growing at an unbelievable pace. But what does all this growth mean for the future of the church, and what's this "Be His Story" thing all about? In this unique podcast, two key leaders in the life of Grace Community Church sit down to speak about the recent past, what this growth means, and what's in store for a future that God seems to be profoundly interested in.

So often, our lives move at such a blinding pace that we have to plan out even the most mundane of tasks. But shouldn't this be said for our finances, that we should plan them out, too? Our money, and especially our giving, needs to have a plan. In "Planning Your Joy", Pastor Jarrod will offer helpful and Biblical insight on how we should plan out how we give.

When it comes to giving, which kind of person are you: the one that lives first and then gives God what's left over, or are you a person who trusts God enough to give first and then live on the leftovers? If we answer that question honestly, then it may mean it's time for a heart check on how we handle God's resources. "Serving Leftovers" promises to challenge and provoke you to think about how you're treating God's money, especially in light of the tithe.

We live in a world at war. Just turn on the news and you read of far-off conflicts and dissensions. But did you know that you live right in the middle of a battleground, right where you are, every day? Today, Jarrod brings the reality of the spiritual conflict that we exist in every single day in "Spiritual Warfare Praying".

Who owns your money and stuff? That seems like a silly question, doesn't it? But, what would you say to the reality that the Bible declares that everything you "own" is actually God's? In this episode, Pastor Jarrod brings us even more truth in the Sowing Lessons series, as he speaks the message "Ending Delusions".

Do you ever find yourself a bit freaked out when you hear a church talk about money? You're like most people if you do. But have you ever wondered how much Jesus talked about money? In "Facing Your Fears", the first message in this new series, Jarrod will challenge us towards a freedom that few ever find - freedom with our finances.

As a Christian, isn't our goal each new year just to "do better"? Well, here's some bad news: your "doing better" will last about as long as your New Year's Resolutions. So, what are we to do in this new year? How do we avoid the pitfalls and messes of last year, and the year before, and the year before (and the decade before that)? How can 2012 really be any different? If that's a legitimate question you're asking, then check out "Walk This Way in 2012".

Christmas has come and gone. You've had your holiday gatherings, opened the gifts, and entered a new year. But what now? What should our focus be? Using the story of the shepherds from Luke 2, Jarrod challenges us to focus anew on Jesus Christ, and how that should play out in our lives in these days after Christmas.

Can you give an answer to this question: Why did Jesus come to earth? The Christmas season is a loud declaration on who we are as human beings, and if you can effectively answer why Jesus came to earth, then you may also be able to see what his arrival says about us as humanity. In "The Christmas Story, Uncut", Jarrod brings us a reality check about what Christmas profoundly declares to us.
