Goodly Talks

In this episode, we continue exploring Hebrews 6 and the “elementary teachings of Christ”—this week focusing on baptisms. While many think only of water baptism, the New Testament points to several: John’s baptism, water baptism, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and even the baptism of fire. Alyn unpacks what each means, why baptism is central to the life of a believer, and how the baptism of the Holy Spirit brings power for daily living. With personal stories, scriptural insight, and an honest look at what’s often overlooked, this message is both practical and challenging.

In Hebrews 6, we’re told to move beyond the “elementary teachings” of Christ and grow toward maturity. Last week, we explored repentance. This week, we dig into what it really means to place our faith in God—not just to get saved, but to keep living in faith every day.

Alyn unpacks why so many believers have faith to be saved but not to live free, shares a deeply personal story of wrestling with fear and mental health, and offers three practical steps to grow in active, living faith. This episode is an honest, hope-filled invitation to trade cultural Christianity for a vibrant walk with Jesus that transforms both our present and our future.

In this episode of Goodly Talks, Alyn kicks off a new series on the “elementary teachings of Christ” from Hebrews 6, starting with one of the most misunderstood topics in the church: repentance.

With clarity, humor, and real-life examples, Alyn breaks down what repentance actually is and what it isn’t. Spoiler: it’s not about feeling bad enough or working hard to earn God’s approval. It’s a decision to agree with what God says is true and to walk in a new direction.

You’ll discover how repentance leads to freedom, why it’s meant to be a lifestyle, and what to do when private repentance doesn’t seem to break the cycle. This message is full of grace, truth, and practical help for anyone ready to grow in spiritual maturity.

Alyn offers a heartfelt and transparent “State of the Union” address for Goodly, sharing the facts about where we’ve been, the feelings that come with building something from the ground up, and the focus we’re holding onto as we look to the future. From a financial report that reflects God’s faithfulness to the bittersweet reality of saying goodbye to people we love, this episode is an honest reflection on what it means to follow Jesus together, especially in the in-between. Whether you’re part of Goodly or just tuning in from afar, this one’s for anyone navigating the tension between calling and completion.

In this episode Blake Jones takes us on a journey with stories of pride, disappointment, miraculous healing, and the deep ache of grief. Through testimony, ministry moments, and the story of Naomi and Ruth, the message is clear: even in bitterness, confusion, or burnout, God is still writing redemptive stories. Blake explores how subtle "disqualifications" creep in, why obedience still matters, and how staying close to God - even when it doesn’t make sense - can change everything. For anyone feeling disconnected from their calling or stuck in delay, this episode offers an invitation to encounter God again.

In this vulnerable message, Blake Jones explores the beauty and gravity of covenant: what it meant in the Old Testament, how Jesus fulfills it in the New, and what that means for our daily walk with God. We’re reminded that God’s promises are always mediated through covenant and that covenant comes with a call—to live set apart, to draw near, to remember who He is and who we are in Him.

With honest reflections, raw stories, and a father’s heart, we’re invited to return to our first love, reconnect with the promises of God, and let His presence rewrite what we believe is possible.

“If all He did was save me, it would have been enough.”

What do you do when you think God is speaking—especially through a dream, picture, or word? In this episode, we wrap up our series on the prophetic by talking about how to handle revelation with wisdom and humility. Whether it’s a word for someone else or direction for your own life, there’s a process to walk it out: asking questions, seeking interpretation, testing and weighing, and staying rooted in Scripture. We’ll also talk about how to recognize God’s voice, the best practice for sharing words with others, and how to grow in the prophetic. Plus, AJ shares stories from her own life—including the time a well-known pastor tried to set her up with a man she definitely wasn’t going to marry.

In this deeply personal message, Blake Jones invites us into his journey of rediscovering the gospel—not as theory, but as the life-altering truth that keeps pulling us back to Jesus. Using the parable of the prodigal son, Blake vulnerably shares how even years into following Christ, he found himself resonating with the older brother: frustrated, embittered, and believing the lie that God was withholding something good. With honesty, humor, and power, Blake unpacks the beauty of our humanity, the danger of spiritual familiarity, and the breathtaking grace of the gospel that levels all of us at the foot of the cross. If you’re weary, feeling disconnected, or just hungry for more of God, this message will reignite your flame.

What is prophecy, really? In this episode, we unpack the beauty and simplicity of hearing God’s voice for others. Far from being weird or judgmental, true prophetic ministry reflects the heart of the Father—encouraging, uplifting, and full of love. We explore what Scripture says about prophecy, how everyone can grow in it, and why it’s more about building people up than calling them out. You’ll hear practical tools, biblical examples, and personal stories that show how prophecy is meant to bring hope, not hype. Whether you’re new to the prophetic or need a refresher, this is a fresh, empowering conversation for everyday believers.
