Life at Redeemer Podcast

In this episode, Andy and Jamie sit down with Redeemer's new Church Plant Resident, Marshall Gallagher. We discuss his family, background, and his goals as he works toward planting a church before the end of 2018. We also discuss Redeemer's vision for having a Church Plant Resident.

"I don't want our church to be another place for people to be busy, I want them to produce fruit that not only affects our church, but all things." - Aaron Allison, pastor, CIL Hendersonville. On this episode of the Life At Redeemer podcast, we invited Aaron Allison, pastor of the Church at Indian Lake (CIL) in Hendersonville, TN to discuss some key characteristics of what church looks like in a suburban environment, like Hendersonville, and how that is different from church settings in other environments. This honest conversation helps give perspective from both the pastor's and congregation's point of view.

This episode is a continuation of our previous conversation regarding how we, as Christians, deal with grief in our life and the lives of others. We invited Pastor Bill Overstreet to share his insight and wisdom about grief from a pastor's perspective. Bill serves at Indian Lake Peninsula Church, here in Hendersonville TN. Bill shares ways in which the world tells us we should deal with grief and then contrasts those approaches with what scripture teaches us.

Jason Gibson, director of the Babb Center in Hendersonville, TN joins the podcast to help us better understand the process of grief that all of us experience. How should we define grief? What are some of the phases of grief? How can we help others deal with grief?

On today's episode, we welcome Bill Seaver, one of our elders, to engage in a conversation about change. In various degrees, we all struggle with change. Why is that so? What are appropriate ways to deal with change?

We are back with new episodes of the Life At Redeemer podcast! Today, Andy and Jamie discuss some of the changes that are being made to the podcast as we move forward.

What is the relationship between music, culture, and Christianity? How does our faith in Jesus affect how we write, produce, and even listen to music? These are the main questions we discuss in a conversation with Redeemer Church members Dan Wilson and Mike Betterton. Both Dan and Mike work in the music industry in Nashville and offer their insights about their work and how their faith plays a role in what they do.

This week's episode welcomes back Dylan Ward (part-time Young Life staff member) and also includes our worship leader, Dan Wilson. An extension of last week's conversation, this episode dives a bit deeper into the philsophy of ministry, outreach, & evangelism that Young Life has and how that can be applied to help shape, inform, and instruct how we approach those same things as members of Redeemer Church.

On today's episode, we introduce you to one of our strategic ministry partners, Young Life. Andy and Jamie are joined by the Area Director of Hendersonville Young Life, Daniel Becker and part-time staff member Dylan Ward, who also is a member of Redeemer Church. Discussions include why Young Life exists, what the unique mission of Young Life is, and how we, as the local church, can partner with an organization like Young Life to advance & build the kingdom of God.

What does it mean to align ourselves to Jesus and to God's word? How do we train ourselves for Godliness? Andy & Jamie discuss these questions and more as we think about our relevance to Jesus. Why do we spend so much time asking how is church and Jesus relevant to my life? If Jesus is who He says He is, then what we should be asking is, how can I make myself relevant to Jesus. This question and topic of discussion comes from a sermon by Kevin Cawley from Redeemer Fellowship in Kansas City, MO.
