Encounter Podcast

In this week's episode, we explore the assumption that we should simply put our sanctification and "let go and let God." We challenge the notion that we don't take part in our growth towards being more Christ-like. Things get Biblical... and personal, so stay tuned as we Encounter Christ, Culture, and Community.

In this week's podcast, we take a holistic look at Matthew 8, 9, and 10. As we look at the context, style, and how Jesus is prepping his disciples to duplicate His ministry, we get a glimpse into what God was doing then and what He is doing today. Thank you for listening!

In this week's episode, we understand the root and fruit of community and isolation. There is an underlying reason and motivation for everything that we do. We look at Biblical examples of community and isolation and try to make sense of why we sometimes prefer isolation or community. Thank you for listening!

In this episode, we get to the heart of discipleship and service. Are you following Christ out of devotion or obligation? What is the relationship between these two and are they necessary correlates? With plenty of work to do in ministry, the believer must work to discern their motivations behind following Christ. Please like and subscribe!

In this episode, we encounter our recurring guest, Brady Montage, and go through Bible Study basics. We walk through 4 layers of studying the Bible and then choose 2 specific scriptures to study with those tools. We pray that this episode better equips you to know God more through the study of His Word.

In this episode, we Encounter Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, 6, and 7. Instead of verse-by-verse, we provide an overview to contextualize the sermon and then highlight some of the key Scriptures.

In this episode, we Encounter Christ, Culture, Community, and Pastor Zach Green from Living Stone Church. For his third appearance on the podcast, we discuss the development of Living Stone, what God is teaching us, and what the true definition of the Church is.

In this week's episode of Encounter, we sit down with Paster Jeff Brower from Wellspring Church. We discuss Eschatology, the Role of Israel, and how to serve alongside people you may disagree with. This episode was one of our favorites, so we hope that you like it too!

In this episode, we address False Assumption #2: If I’m Spiritual Enough, I Will Have No Pain or Sin.

To do so, we look at the book of pain: Job. What is God revealing to us in the book of Job about Himself, us, and how we should appropriately respond to pain, suffering, and negative feelings.

Join us as we Encounter Christ, Culture, and Community.
