Ben & Kim finish up the series on "Progress Not Perfection" talking about Kevin's message on friendships.

We can learn so much from the way the early church described it's support, prayer and love for one another. There was prayer that shook the room they were in, there was giving beyond measure, there was meeting regularly to be with each other, there was faith that could do the impossible.

We have so much more to learn about how to be good friends, Godly friends, without an expectation of perfection, but a heart to want to love and serve those around you. 

Continuing our "Pointe After" conversation about Sunday's message. Today Ben & Kim are talking about "How to Break Free of Habitual Sin" and how battling sin can make us not want to purse Christ because of the guilt & shame. 

For those perfectionist there's a belief that "If I can't do it perfect, why even do it at all" - today is a new day and there's never a better time to start then now. 

Today Ben & Kim are unpacking Sunday's message on 'When Will I Be a Good Enough Christian?". They will unpack doubts and lies and how they steal our ability to see ourselves and others through God's eyes.  

Watch the message from Sunday on our YouTube Channel:

Here are some links to books we mention in this video: 

Today Pastor Ben & Kim unpack more of Sunday's message about perfectionism and how it can hold us back from loving others and ourselves well.

Today we're sitting with Arlene & John Banuelos. Arlene received a breast cancer diagnosis in April of 2020 and they're sharing what that experience was like in a pandemic & how God worked on them to bring not only healing of Arlene's body but a renewed strength in their marriage. Arlene's story was published in the October edition of the Fig Garden Magazine and she was asked to be an Honore for The Drive Pink Acura campaign at the beginning of the month. 

Arlene's Story on the local news:

We sat with Alfred & Angela Yracheta to hear their giving story, what made them start giving and how that giving has changed their marriage and influenced the lives of their kids. Alfred is an entrepreneur & Angela is our Preteen Director here at NorthPointe. Their story is not unlike many others. They weren't on the same page with giving until a situation changed their mind and a heart was moved to give like they never had before. Alfred is now an advocate for not only giving, but of the Financial Peace University program and has found a passion for sharing his story and encouragement to the next generation. 

Today we're getting a chance to meet, Helen San Sebastian. Helen just started the C.A.S.T ministry at NorthPointe. C.A.S.T stand for, Cancer Advocacy Support Team and they meet on the 3rd Monday of every month to offer support, care, dialogue and more to those living with a cancer diagnosis and for those supporting someone in their cancer journey.

Helen has an amazing story of walking this difficult diagnosis with her mother and that influenced her to become an Oncology nurse, where she has now spent a lifetime walking this journey with hundreds of people. Her knowledge and care come through in all she does and we're grateful she's sitting with us today to share more about this new ministry and how you can find hope and community when you need it most.

Today's we're celebrating our 1 year Anniversary of Midweek Live! We kicked this thing off a year ago with Kevin & Kim talking about prayer and today we're letting Kevin take the lead and getting to know Kim a little more.

**You may notice that this is episode #51, not #52. We intentionally didn't post our 'Worship & Prayer' episode from February**

Chris Bennett is joining us today to talk about his recovery journey. From growing up around drugs and alcohol to getting away from it and starting a life, marriage and family with good intentions, to falling into the pattern of his parents. He battled drug addictions and nearly lost his family until God healed him from that addiction. Later he would become addicted to gambling, a much harder addiction from him to face and to battle. He kept things from his family until he couldn't hide anymore. Now 3 years sober, he shares his thoughts on addiction, his recovery and the things he's learned in the process. 

Celebrate Recovery happened every Wednesday night at 630p on our campus and on zoom!
