Holy living is challenging. Very challenging. There are so many aspects of life, both within us and around us, that are fundamentally opposed to the holy life God invites us to...and one of those is our understanding of freedom. So where do we start? How can we be both holy and free? Join Brian and Jon as they discuss some of the major roadblocks to holiness and some of the practical steps we can take to think differently and live differently.

We are called to be holy and live holy lives, but our definition of holiness and our understanding of how to be holy may actually be keeping us from the very thing we seek. So come join Pastor Lee Towns and Jon Ackerman for a practical conversation on one of the most challenging topics to implement in our life with God.

Living holy lives...living as aliens and strangers...without being alienating and strange. If there was ever a need for helpful suggestions and practical next steps, this is it! So, join Brian and Jon as we begin 2023 with a conversation on living differently, thinking differently, and seeing ourselves, God, and the world around us differently than we ever have before.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! And we're taking one episode to summarize 4 weeks of Sunday teaching on "how to have a wonderful life." Where do we find it? What gets in the way? Why can't I seem to make it happen? Join Brian and Jon as we wrap up 2022 with some practical suggestions and a message of hope.

Our pain, and the pain of others, insists on answers. Why is this happening? Why me? Why them? Why now? What did I do...or what didn't I do? Most of all, though, is the question: God, what are You doing? If you've ever found yourself asking those questions, join Brian and Jon for part 2 of a series on Physical Healing as we expand the kind of conversation we have with Jesus during times of suffering.

Is God still in the business of healing? Yes! Then why didn't He heal me (or the person I prayed for) when I asked? The topic of physical healing is incredibly sensitive for us, in part because it combines the pain of physical suffering with the pain of confusion and disappointment. And in the face of that much hurt it often seems easier to not ask...not pray...not hope. But what if God's up to more than we realize? Join Brian and Jon for the first in a two-part series on the availability of physical healing and the frustration of "not yet" answers.

For the third week on Prayer, we're shifting the focus back to our side of the conversational relationship with God. How do we move from transactional prayers to a transformational conversation? Sincerity and submission is a good place to start. Wondering what that looks like in a practical way? Join Brian and Jon for a helpful look at the journey we all must take.

In Week 1 of this series on Prayer, we talked about the reality of two-way communication with God. He WANTS to talk to us, and we are wired to hear from Him. This week, join Brian and Jon as they tackle the obvious follow-up issue -- how do I KNOW when it's God? This episode is full of practical suggestions for those that are just learning and those that have been walking with God for quite a while. Join the conversation!

How do you honestly feel about prayer? And what has your life experience taught you about prayer...and through those experiences, about God? If we're going to grow in the rhythm of prayer, we have to become aware of what we believe - at a heart level - about this way of connecting with our God. So whether you've felt frustrated by prayer, confused, or excited to grow further in this rhythm, you'll want to check out this episode. Join Brian and Jon as they talk about their own internal discoveries and share some helpful suggestions for the journey ahead.

Welcome back to Part 2 of the "Road to Freedom." As we said in the previous episode, the topic of "strongholds" is one of the least understood and least engaged in rhythms of modern Christianity. Awareness of our condition and our need is an important first step in finding the abundant life Jesus promised. So Join Brian and Jon as we conclude this two-part series on the "Road to Freedom."
