Episode 19: Brave the Storm

What if the very accusations meant to silence you became the stage God designed for you to speak? In a city where everything—from the chicken you eat to the car you drive—is politicized, Pastor Mark draws from Acts 24-26 to show that the early church faced the same exhausting spiral we do today: politicizing, polarizing, demonizing, dehumanizing. Standing before corrupt Governor Felix—a man drowning in moral compromise—Paul refused to pull punches or kiss the ring. Instead, he spoke directly about righteousness, self-control, and judgment, the very things Felix lacked. The antidote isn't louder arguments or sharper rhetoric—it's operating in the opposite spirit, speaking truth in love, and making much of Jesus, the One who answered empire not with a legion of angels, but with a towel, a donkey, and a cross. Don't shrink back. Listen deeply, love fiercely, and make Jesus impossible to ignore. In Jesus' name, amen. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Make Room

Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you aren’t willing to risk your reputation then you’ll never establish God’s reputation.

The Circle Maker, Part 1: Desperate Measures - Mark Batterson

Don’t divorce yourself from difficult situations or you might miss the miracle.

Immanuel, Part 2: God with us pt2 - Mark Batterson

There are not many descriptions of God that impact our daily life more than understanding the concept of “God with us.” We’ll take a look at the implications that follow when you live with an awareness of His presence.

Immanuel, Part 1: God with us part 1 - Joel Schmidgall

Christine talks about the parts of the church needing to be in their place to support the work of Christ.

Thanks, Part 2: Thanks - Mark Batterson

The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

Sola, Part 5: Soli Deo Gloria - Mark Batterson

God is not fully fair; he is full of grace. Grace is about relationship, not religion. It is meant to be experienced more than explained and lived more than logically understood.

Sola, Part 4: Sola Gratia - Heather Zempel

Salvation is by faith alone.  It’s not about what we can DO for God. It’s
about what God has DONE for us.

Salvation is by faith alone. It’s not about what we can DO for God. It’s about what God has DONE for us.

Sola, Part 3: Sola Fide - Mark Batterson

Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. We don’t need anyone else, we don’t need to do anything else, and we don’t need to experience anything else. He is the perfect and eternal Great High Priest, Sacrifice, and Atonement.

Sola, Part 2: Solus Christus - Heather Zempel

Scripture is inspiring because IT IS inspired. It is the final authority in matters of faith and doctrine.

Sola, Part 1: Sola Scriptura - Mark Batterson
