Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church Podcast

As we prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, Pastor Todd Lester shares a message of true freedom — not just as Americans, but as followers of Christ. Through John 10:10, we’re reminded that Jesus came to give us life to the full. In this powerful message, you’ll hear encouragement to embrace the joy, liberty, and purpose found only in Him.

Scripture: John 10:10
Recorded at Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church on June 29, 2025.

In this message, Youth Pastor JT challenges the church to embrace its calling to disciple the next generation. Drawing from Luke 1 and 3, we look at the story of John the Baptist and how his calling from before birth mirrors God’s call for Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and Gen Beta today.

This is a timely word for parents, mentors, and believers of all ages. JT speaks directly to the need for repentance, spiritual fruit, and intentional discipleship—not just church attendance. Are we preparing the way for Jesus to be known?
