Prayer and Praise

Sit down with us as we talk to Judge Kevin McKeever about forgiveness. Too often we let anger and revenge hold onto our hearts. At some point we have to let that go and release the chains on our lives. When we release the shackles and forgive, then we can be able to become reacquainted with joy. We can live our lives more fully. So love and forgive.

Join us as we sit with Rev. Erica Robinson Johnson who tells her story and challenges us to get to know the people next to us, to break down stereotypes, and love on each other. Also, take time to witness where God is moving - pause and reflect on what God is up to.

Join us as we sit with Kenneth Longmyer discussing Israel/Palestine. He challenges us as the church to treat our neighbor with love. Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan and asked the crowd who was the neighbor in the story even though the Samaritans and the Jews were at odds with each other. Loving your neighbor is more than just caring for the person who lives next to you. It is about building relationship with others because of Christian love. No matter where you stand on the issue, it opens up an interesting perspective. Peace and Blessings.

Join us as we sit with Thomas Larayea about the prayer warriors in his life. In this season our theme was prayer and Thomas shared with us stories of those he knew who had a faithful witness of the things that God can do through prayer. When we pray we must have faith that God is at work and that God can change things. Praying is not doing nothing, but prayer is putting our hand in the hand of God, trusting that God is moving, maybe not the way we want, but knowing that God is moving. 

We hear a word from Belva Newsome about what it means to become a new creation. How can we forgive? What happens if we don't? And we wrestle with the identities that society has set for us. 

Join us on this faith path as we talk to Angela Pupino, our student ministries coordinator. Journey with us as we discuss perfectionism, what happens when plans change, and what happens when the plans we have set for ourselves no longer fit God's plan for us. Sit with us as our experience is our lived out prayer and our story our praise to God. 

Listen to the testimony of our Senior Pastor, Rev. Doug Robinson Johnson as we wrestle with the gift of faith that challenges us to grow in fear and take the time to look around us in the midst of fear and pain, because sometimes when we take the time to look around us, other options appear. Hear Pastor Doug's story that it may be a witness of God's movement, but also a testimony on what faith may be like for you. 

Have you felt alone? Are you questioning God? Are you trying to lead a faithful life? Are you more spiritual than religious? Are you looking for your "people" on this journey called life? Believe it or not, no one gets it right all the time and no one has figured out this journey of faith. We are safe to question, we are safe to even be mad at God sometimes. But one thing is true, we are never alone, God is with us and so is the community of faith. This podcast seeks to show that our life can be a lived out prayer and our stories are our praise to God. Through stories of faith we pull together a narrative that you can relate to, learn from, and wrestle with. Join us as we seek to make the love of God obvious in all aspects of life.
