Life Together

Children's Ministry Director Kerri Bryant and Children's Ministry Coordinator Bethany Nedelisky join the podcast to kick off our new season and talk about why they love what they do and what their hopes are for the children and parents of GBC.

Pastor Mike has Pastor Joel Woodard (Hollyview Church), on the podcast to hear about a model for how to deal and handle change, and even trauma. Joel is a local pastor who loves Gresham, loves the Lord, loves GBC, and wants to help GBC know how to approach our current season with so much change.

We're back! Pastor Mike and producer Jordan sit down with GBC founding members, Butch Hudson (Barlow girl's basketball coach) and Mike Riegelmann (Barlow boy's and girl's water polo coach), about being in the community and serving students as coaches and how that interacts with their walks with Christ.

On Pastor Josh's last episode as leader of GBC, Pastor Mike asks Josh a wide range of hard hitting questions from "what's your go-to order at In-N-Out," to "why is church membership important?" We hope you enjoy getting to hear the heart and wisdom of Josh as he prepares to embark on his next calling in Redlands, CA.

PRODUCER'S NOTE: We will be taking the next two weeks off from posting a podcast. Catch up on old episodes and we'll be back with you soon!

Pastor Mike Dahl has an honest conversation with Dave and Becki Martin about spiritual abuse they experienced at a church. They touch on how God still used things from that church to minister to them, what we should all be looking out for, and how they've dealt with forgiveness over the last 25 years.

On this episode, Pastors Mike and Josh have a discussion about abiding in Christ and being mindful of the things that we are inputting and outputting from our minds and hearts.

Pastors Mike and Josh are joined by Nick Stumbo, director of Pure Desire Ministries, on this episode. Nick shares honestly about his journey with sexual brokenness and how the Lord's providence led him to Pure Desire Ministries. They also talk about how everyone has sexual brokenness and how the church can open up, share, and love one another through battling this sin.
