Sea Change Church Genesis: Isaac, Jacob, and Esau 
S5E1: The Faith To Stay Pastor Adam Stadtmiller 
Genesis 26:1-5
 Vs. 1 Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar to Abimelech king of the Philistines. Vs. 2 And the LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. Vs. 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father. Vs. 4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, Vs. 5 because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” 

Genesis 26 opens a new run through Isaac’s story: a famine, an instruction not to go down to Egypt, and the faith it takes to stay.

 Healing Words: The Power of Jesus 
S1E3: Jesus Heals Peter’s Mother-in-law 
Pastor Joshua Pigg 
Matthew 8:14-17 (ESV)
 14 And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.". 

Matthew 8:14-17. Peter’s mother-in-law healed with a touch, and she gets up and serves — read standing, because the word itself is the tool that changes people.

This podcast explores the authority believers have in Jesus Christ to walk in spiritual freedom and to close any permission structures opened through sin, agreement, fear, or ungodly choices.

Using the Book of Job as a framework, we examine the biblical picture of God as righteous Judge, the reality of heavenly courts, and the spiritual parameters that govern freedom or oppression. Scripture reveals that demonic activity does not operate randomly; it functions within boundaries established under God’s sovereign authority.

Through both Old and New Testament context, we unpack how believers—through repentance, confession, forgiveness, renunciation, and faith in Christ—can revoke legal access given to the enemy and stand in the finished work of the Cross.

This is not about fear or superstition, but about understanding the judicial nature of God’s Kingdom, the supremacy of Christ, and the practical application of our spiritual authority to live free from accusation, oppression, and spiritual harassment.

At its core, this podcast teaches that Jesus is not only Savior and Healer, but Advocate and Intercessor—securing our standing before the Father and empowering us to enforce the victory He has already won.

 S1E2: Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons 
Pastor Adam Stadtmiller 
Matthew 8:28-34 Vs. 28 
And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. Vs. 29 And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” Vs. 30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. Vs. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” Vs. 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. Vs. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region. 

Matthew 8:28-34 and the two demon-possessed men at Gennesaret. The key word is authority, and where it actually sits.

 Jesus Cleanses a Leper
 Matthew 8:1-4 1 
When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. 2 And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 

Matthew 8 and the cleansing of a leper — an unplanned detour into a chapter where the kingdom of God breaks into a broken world.

 S4E4: The Woman Who Fears the Lord
 Pastor Adam Stadtmiller 

Proverbs 31:10-31 10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. 14 She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. 15 She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household s and portions for her maidens. 16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. 17 She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. 18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. 19 She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. 20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet 22 She makes bed coverings for herself. Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. 25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 27 She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.
