In this midweek episode Andrew is joined by Pastors Scott, Dan, and Rodney to wrap up the Ephesians series by talking about how to stand strong in Christ when life gets hard and the spiritual battle feels real. Their conversation points us back to prayer, Scripture, and the truth of the gospel as the way we recognize the enemy’s lies and live in the freedom Jesus has already won.

Pastor Scott wraps up the Ephesians series, sharing how we face a real spiritual enemy, but God has fully equipped us with the armor of God to stand firm against the devil’s schemes. Through truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, God’s Word, and prayer, we can live strong in our identity in Christ and walk in spiritual victory.

Pastor Scott, Pastor Maritza, and Andrew have a conversation that takes a closer look at Ephesians 6:1–9, discussing how Christian parenting is about raising children to love and follow Jesus, not just training them to obey. They highlight modeling faith at home, using discipline with wisdom and grace, and relying on prayer, Scripture, and Christian community.

Pastor Maritza shares a message on Paul’s instructions in Ephesians 6 calling children to obey and honor their parents, while calling fathers and parents to lovingly train, instruct, and disciple their children in the Lord rather than provoking or neglecting them. She also shares that God can heal broken family relationships, redeem parenting failures, and bring reconciliation when believers respond with humility, forgiveness, prayer, and renewed commitment to live differently from the world.

Pastor Eric's message teaches from Ephesians 6 that children are called to obey and honor their parents, while fathers and parents are called to lead with grace, godly wisdom, protection, and consistent instruction in the Lord rather than harshness or provocation. It also applies Paul’s teaching on servants and masters to all areas of authority, urging believers to serve and lead wholeheartedly as unto Christ, rebuild family relationships, and return fully to Jesus.

Pastor Scott's message on Ephesians 6:1-9 explores how God has created order and structure in the home and in every sphere of life, calling children to honor and obey their parents, parents to disciple and discipline with grace and truth, and all people to serve and lead under His authority. He also points to the Father’s love shown through Jesus, inviting everyone to receive forgiveness, salvation, and life as a child of God.

Missionary Jessie Harshbarger shares how God called her to missions as a child and describes how King’s Castle in Honduras is raising up young people to evangelize, disciple children, and bring hope to communities. She challenges the church to ask God to “break my heart for what breaks yours,” reminding them that missions is for every believer—whether by going, giving, praying, or reaching the people God places in front of them.

In this week's episode, Andrew is joined by Pastors Scott and Maritza, along with Jessie Harshbarger, a missionary with King’s Castle in Honduras, who shares how God is using young people to reach their generation for Jesus and challenges listeners to ask God to break their hearts for the lost. They discuss how missions is not just for missionaries overseas but for every believer, calling Christians to obey God, serve where they are, and take action through prayer, giving, going, and sharing Jesus with others.

Pastors Scott, Maritza, and Eric join Andrew for this midweek discussion of Sunday's message on Ephesians 5, emphasizing that biblical marriage is built on mutual submission, respect, sacrificial love, and covenant oneness under Christ’s lordship—not control, manipulation, or cultural stereotypes. The pastors emphasize that healthy marriage requires intentionality, gratitude, forgiveness, honoring one another as children of God, and relying on the Holy Spirit to live selflessly.

Pastor Maritza preached from Ephesians 5:21–33, emphasizing that Christian marriage is meant to reflect Christ and the Church through mutual submission, sacrificial love, service, and reverence for Jesus. She urged husbands and wives—and all believers—to reject cultural distortions of marriage, surrender to Christ’s lordship, die to selfishness, and let their relationships display God’s grace, protection, forgiveness, and love.
