In this episode of the Make Jesus Known Podcast, Pastor Amanda is joined by Pastor Glenn Erickson. Together, they debrief on what healing can look like, and how it differs depending on our expectations. Glenn talks about the hardships he has faced when asked to pray for healing, and how disappointing it can be when the results don't follow through as hoped. Amanda then reinforces the idea that the Holy Spirit has a divine plan regardless of our prayers, and that we just get to trust His ways. We are encouraged to continue praying for healing and trusting God to give us grace.

In this Father's Day special episode of the Make Jesus Known Podcast, Pastor Matt is joined by guest speaker Leland Rounds as they discuss God's gifts of fatherhood and grace.

We are reminded that the gift of parenthood is first demoonstrated perfectly by God and through His son.

Pastor Amanda and Riley sit down and go over the sermons from last Sunday on Missions. From the Everett location, they review Andrew's message on what it looks like to be in community and reach people through love and relationship where you are planted. Matt touched on how God moves through different phases in the Bible, and is now moving through us in Monroe. Together, they review how the Lord's presence empowers us to spread the gospel no matter our age, gender, or circumstances. They end in prayer and with a scripture from Exodus 19 reminding us as listeners that God's presence goes with us on mission.

In this episode of the Make Jesus Known podcast, Amanda sits down with Daniel to unpack his recent sermon on baptism from New Life Monroe. Daniel shares how there is real power in baptism, not just as a symbolic act, but as a public declaration that reshapes how we see ourselves, God, and our responsibility to others. They discuss the ongoing process of transformation and renewing the mind, and how salvation is both a moment and a lifelong journey of learning to live God’s way. The conversation dives into the role of spiritual practices—like prayer, reading scripture, and Christian community—in helping us remember our baptism and cooperate with the Holy Spirit’s transforming work. Daniel also highlights prayer as one of the most significant ways he participates in God’s kingdom work, especially through interceding for students who don’t yet know Jesus. This episode is a thoughtful, grace-filled look at how baptism is both a beautiful beginning and an invitation into a lifelong journey of following Jesus.

In this episode of the Make Jesus Known Podcast, Pastors Amanda and Andrew sit down and discuss last Sunday's sermon on God's presence in our lives. Together, they debate the difference between counterfeit experiences with God and being on true mission for God and His kingdom, and what it looks like to be in wilderness with God versus to have our promised land without Him. They explore what it meant for Israel to be called a “stiff-necked people,” how that same stubbornness and forgetfulness shows up in our lives today, and the sobering idea that God could give us blessings, success, or even ministry “fruit” without actually being with us.

Pastors Glenn and Bethany revisit a powerful Pentecost Sunday service in this episode, unpacking a challenging passage in Exodus 32 about the golden calf, God’s justice, mercy, and the meaning of “repentance.” They explore why repentance is so difficult in our culture, how deeply the Holy Spirit can move us, and why honestly facing our sin leads to deeper worship and intimacy with God. This episode invites us to repent to God, allowing Him to clean and purify us, and to welcome His Holy Spirit in to lead our lives.

Matt and Heidi Messner sit down together in this episode of the Make Jesus Known podcast to revisit Sunday’s message from Exodus 19–20 and explore how it speaks into everyday life. They discuss how God rescues His people from slavery not just to free them from something, but to invite them into a loving relationship with Himself. They then reflect on the Ten Commandments as tender, loving boundaries rather than cold religious rules, likening them to marriage vows from relationship and how they come from love, opposite from strict performance and rules to be constrained by. The conversation also traces how the law ultimately points us to Christ and is fulfilled in the simple yet profound call to love God and love others.

In this episode of the Make Jesus Known podcast, Pastors Andrew and Heidi unpack their recent sermons from Exodus 15–16. Together they discuss the difference between a slave mindset and a son/daughter mindset—how slaves grumble and blame, while children bring their cries and needs directly to their Father.

They talk about how complaining destroys community, how easily we romanticize our “Egypt,” and how criticism can quickly slip from righteous concern into self-righteousness. Throughout the episode, they invite listeners to examine where they might still be thinking like slaves, and to embrace God’s rest, provision, and identity as His sons and daughters.

In this episode, Pastor Amanda is joined by Dionis as they continue to unpack the Exodus story. Dionis reflects on his personal rescue story, exploring how God rescues His people not just from something, but for relationship and ongoing dependence. They talk honestly about what it looks like to trust God with our past, present, and future—especially when His rescue doesn’t look like what we expected. We learn more about how obedience and trusting in God to hold our lives is significant to strengthen our faith journeys.

In this episode of the Make Jesus Known Podcast, Pastor Andrew and Pastor Amanda dive into the opening of their Exodus series by talking about how God’s rescue defines our identity. They address the loud, false stories our culture tells us about who we are and contrast them with the truth of being sons and daughters of God. They also reflect on the meaning of names in Scripture and encourage listeners who are waiting for God’s rescue with the reminder that He sees, knows, and is always at work.
