on this episode Dan walks us through the big picture and brief history of singing in the Church, from Psalms to the New Testament to Sunday's at PCOM.

It's the PCOM Podcast's Greatest Hits! In this special August series, Pastor Courtney leads us through the most popular episodes of past seasons.

Today we revisit Pastor Daryl's wisdom on joining Jesus at work from June of 2019. (Good news: it's all still true!)

Pastors Courtney and Daryl chat about the Lord's supper and baptism, how God meets us with his grace, the role of repentance, and their hopes for the season ahead.

After a difficult season of prophet-ing, what's Elijah to do? He's ready to throw in the towel, but God has a surprise in store.

A word of encouragement from 1 Kings 19.

Plus: Pastors Courtney and Daryl are going on sabbatical? What's that about?

Dan takes another dive into Church history and gives some recommendations (like the music of Larry Norman and Pedro the Lion!)

Author of "Invitations to Abundance: how the feasts of the Bible nourish us today," Alicia Akins, describes the profound goodness of God and how learning to eat together can build relationships, deepen friendships, and remind us of God's love.

We're looking at Romans 8 today, and as far as we can tell, the apostle Paul never refereed a basketball game. But he could sense that even that type of event would not fall beyond the reach of God's goodness and grace. 

Social media can be polarizing, partisan, and downright panic-inducing! Should Christians log off, or is there a way to use it without letting it use us?
