Fearless Church Podcast

This is the fourth of a five week series titled, Secrets Happy People Know.  Everyone wants to be happy, but why is happiness so elusive? It can be so easy to find, but difficult to hold on to. While there is no silver bullet that will lead to a lifetime of happiness, we have found that there are a few secrets happy people know. This first week we listen to our Community Pastor Brian Tate explore the idea that Happy People Live Simple.

Discussion Questions

1. What do you think of Captain Jack Sparrow?
2. What treasures do you chase after?
3. What are you worried or stressed about?
4. Do you live life with a sole purpose? If so, what is it? If not, why?
5. What things in life do you need to change that don't fit into your purpose?

Covid 19 Restrictions

1. If you’re not feeling well, please wait to attend on campus until you’re fully healthy.
2. We have two on-campus Sunday services: 9:30 and 11am (Our 11:00am service is live online on our Facebook Page and YouTube Channel)
3. All ages are welcome in the auditorium. We provide kids and middle school ministries at our 11:00am service and starting October 18th, childcare will be provided at both services! High school ministry meets Sundays at 6:00pm on-campus.
4. Facial coverings will be required per the current state health order. We’ll encourage general social distancing by minimizing some common touchpoints, providing hand sanitizer, and offering some increased spacing in seating areas. (During this time, bring your own java…we know it’s a bummer, but it won’t be forever!)

While there is no silver bullet that will lead to a lifetime of happiness, we have found that there are a few secrets happy people know.

2. Read aloud 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. What words stand out to you the most and why?
3. When was the last time you truly “rejoiced”? Why do you think that brought you so much joy?
4. What is one “Have To” complaint in your lie that you can turn into a “Get To” gratitude statement right now?

While there is no silver bullet that will lead to a lifetime of happiness, we have found that there are a few secrets happy people know. This first week we listen to Pastor Chris Williams explore the idea that Happy People Zoom out.

Discussion Questions

1. In general, would you consider yourself a happy person? Why or why not? What would your friends and family say?
2. When was the last time you would say you were happy? What about that time in your life made you happy?
3. Some say, “God wants you to be holy, not happy.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why?
4. What are the most common problems you focus on in life? What “promises” from God would best apply to those “problems”?
5. What people (be specific) help you focus on God’s promises amid your problems?

This week's message is the first of our new sermon series, “Calm Down Karen!” We all know a Karen... Someone who is ready to argue with anyone about anything at any time. Whether you like it or not, those people still need the love of Jesus. How do you deal with those people in a way that points them away from explosive anger and towards the love of Christ? This first week we talk about how to handle “Conflict with Karen”.

Discussion Questions

1. In your own words, what does the phrase, “Calm Down Karen” mean? Describe a “Calm Down Karen” moment you have observed in person or via social media. What were you thinking when you observed this moment?
2. Read aloud 1 Peter 3:8-11. What words or phrases in this text do you find the most challenging? Why?
3. What would it look like to give a "blessing" (v. 9) rather than get revenge when someone hurts you?
4. Pause > Pray > Proceed with grace. Which step do you think will be the most challenging for you? Why?

You didn’t even know what social distancing was a month ago.  Now it’s your life.  Your new normal isn’t normal at all.  Relationships just got harder and even though you can attend work meetings in your underwear now, let’s face it, Zoom calls are still not ideal (though the 40-minute meeting limit is a great bonus). 

It’s in seasons like this, however, when our routines are broken, that God has a way of stretching us, calling us to more.  Will we keep our heads down and just get by, or will we come out of this season of distance taking new ground in our relationships?

Take New Ground Discussion Questions:

1. How has social distancing affected your relationships? Are your relationships stronger, strained, or stagnant?
2. Pastor Chris shared, "Stress reveals what distance conceals." In what ways have you seen this in your own life? What has the stress of social distancing revealed about your relationship with God and others?
3. What is one thing you can do this week to start building a bridge towards one of the strained or stagnant relationships in your life?

Chris Voltz challenges us to examine where we are finding our security in these trying times. Are we looking for security and control in the resources we have and trusting in ourselves, or are we depending and trusting in God? As we read in 1 Timothy 6, we are challenged to examine our hearts and pushed to see the truth that the key to abundance in the future is generosity, especially with our physical resources. Generosity is contagious, lets go fear less and love more!

We are also joined by Chris, Kristell, Christian and Noah Williams in our "Take New Ground" segment. They discuss how to practically live out the challenge to pursue generosity and what that looks like for their family.

Chris Williams preaches on the importance of community and meeting together in this season where physical isolation is necessary.  He challenges us to connect more, care more, and share more as we motivate others to love and good works. In a post-sermon "Take New Ground" segment, Chris and Grace Voltz answer the discussion questions posed at the end of the sermon. 

Here are the discussion questions from today's sermon that we discuss at the end of the podcast.

1. Why do you think we need others to motivate us to love and good works?
2. What or who inspires you to love God and others more? Why?
3. With whom do you plan on reaching out and connecting to this week? How?
