Shiloh Church's podcast

This week at Shiloh, we're diving into 1 Peter 3 to explore honor in marriage, humility in leadership, and a hope that holds—even when doing the right thing gets hard.

How do you honor someone when it isn't easy? Bless someone who insults you? Respond to pressure with worship instead of fear? Peter challenges us to live a faith people can see—and be ready to explain the hope behind it with gentleness and respect.

Through it all, our confidence rests in Jesus: the Savior who suffered to bring us home to God and now reigns over every authority and power.

That's our King. That's our hope. And that's a reason for joy.

Listen in, share with a friend, and consider: What is my life saying about the One I follow?

What if your greatest witness isn't what you say—but how you live when life gets hard?

In this powerful message from 1 Peter 2, discover how God's Word transforms your desires, reveals your true identity, and equips you to live differently in a watching world. You are not forgotten or insignificant—you are a living stone, part of a royal priesthood, and chosen to carry God's presence.

Learn what it means to crave the pure milk of spiritual nourishment, live honorably, refuse retaliation, and trust the Father when you're misunderstood or mistreated. Your faith, your good works, and even your silence in suffering can point others to Jesus.

It's time to know who you are, follow in His footsteps, and bring Heaven to Earth through a transformed life.

What does it mean to live holy in a culture where following Jesus can make you feel like a foreigner? In this continuation of our study through 1 Peter 1, we discover that holiness isn't something we manufacture—it flows from the new identity God has already given us through His Spirit and the precious blood of Christ.

As temporary residents in this world, we're called to resist cultural pressure, reflect the character of our heavenly Father, and love His family deeply. This life is short, eternity is forever, and the joy ahead is worth the cost. Fix your hope on Jesus—and live like you belong to Him.

What keeps your hope steady when life gets hard? In "Fix Your Hope," Pastor Lacey explores 1 Peter 1:1–13 and the promise that changes how we face today: Jesus is coming back, and our story isn't finished.

Through honest reflections and biblical encouragement, this message explores how trials refine our faith, why we can trust Jesus even when we can't see Him, and the glorious inheritance God has prepared for His people. You'll be encouraged to let the hope of Christ's return shape how you live, love, and serve right now.

If you're weary in the waiting, this message is a reminder: suffering won't last forever, there is joy ahead, and your hope in Jesus is secure.

Before we dive into 1st Peter, let's meet the man behind the letter. We trace Peter's journey from Simon the fisherman to Peter the "stone" a man who heard Jesus, stumbled, fell and was repeatedly restored. His story gives us a glimpse into the heart of 1st Peter: lasting joy, deep roots, enduring faith, and the restoring love of Jesus.

What if changing the world started with noticing just one person?

In "The Joy Over the One," we journey through Luke 15 and discover the heart of a Father who runs toward the lost, celebrates every homecoming, and never overlooks a single life. From the prodigal son to the woman at the well, the man in the Decapolis, and Saul on the road to Damascus, Scripture reveals what can happen when one person encounters Jesus.

This message will challenge you to see the lost through the Father's eyes, minister wherever your feet take you, and never underestimate the power of one conversation, one testimony, or one transformed life.

The person God wants to reach may already be right in front of you. Will you notice the one?

What if the Christian life was never meant to stop at knowing Jesus—but was designed to come alive when we make Him known?

In this powerful Sunday message, Pastor Jay Postma of 33rd Company challenges believers to move beyond simply attending church and step into a daily Great Commission lifestyle. Through compelling testimonies of salvation, healing, and everyday encounters, he reminds us that our neighborhoods, workplaces, coffee shops, and communities are all mission fields.

The takeaway is simple:

🔥 Recognize the Holy Spirit's voice 🔥 Resist fear and the enemy's lies 🔥 Respond with obedience

You don't need a platform, a title, or all the answers. You simply need to give God your "yes."

If your faith has felt routine, this message is your wake-up call: "Christianity is not boring. If your Christianity is boring, it's not God." There is a greater adventure waiting on the other side of your obedience.

Listen now—and discover the joy of knowing Jesus, hearing His voice, and making Him known everywhere your feet go.

What kind of fruit is your life producing?

Every day, we're tending one of two gardens—and whatever we feed will grow. In this powerful finale to the Joy in the Holy Spirit series, discover why victory over the flesh doesn't come from simply trying harder, but from walking with the Holy Spirit and remaining connected to Jesus.

Learn how love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control can become an undeniable testimony that draws others toward God. You'll also be challenged to identify the attitudes and actions that may be grieving or quenching the Spirit's work in your life.

Your fruit speaks before you ever open your mouth. Is it revealing Jesus?

Listen now—and get ready to grow fruit that changes your family, your community, and the world around you.

Complicated Order | Ps. Lacey Bryant

What do prophecy, speaking in tongues, and women in ministry have in common? They're three topics that have created some of the biggest questions—and divisions—in the Church.

But what if the answer isn't to avoid what's complicated?

In "Complicated Order," Ps. Lacey Bryant dives into 1 Corinthians 14 to unpack what Scripture says about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, prophecy, tongues, women in the Church, and God's desire for both spiritual power AND biblical order.

What do we do when we don't understand the gifts of the Spirit? How should prophecy and tongues operate in the gathered Church? What happens when spiritual gifts have been abused? Did Paul really command women to remain silent in church? How do we welcome the Holy Spirit without embracing chaos?

The answer to disorder isn't absence. The answer to abuse isn't avoidance. The answer is maturity.

We cannot allow fear, bad experiences, personal bias, or our need to understand everything to keep us from receiving what the Holy Spirit wants to do through His people.

The gifts aren't trophies for spiritual people—they're tools in the hands of surrendered people so the love of God can be made visible.

It's time to stop merely observing and become available.

Holy Spirit, fill us. Teach us. Correct us. Use us.

Listen to "Complicated Order" and discover what it looks like to become a church where the Holy Spirit is welcomed, the gifts are practiced, Jesus is glorified, and people are strengthened.

What if the greatest purpose of the gifts of the Holy Spirit isn't to make us look powerful—but to make God's love visible?

In this powerful message, Pastor Lacey Bryant unpacks 1 Corinthians 12–14 through the lens of the Corinthian church, revealing why Paul wrote these chapters and why they are just as relevant for the Church today. Discover the difference between spiritual gifting and spiritual maturity, explore the three categories of the gifts of the Spirit, and learn why love—not status, platform, or ability—is the foundation for every supernatural gift.

With biblical insight, historical context, personal testimonies, and practical application, this message challenges the modern Church to reject performance-driven Christianity and embrace both the power and the character of the Holy Spirit.

As Paul reminds us, we don't have to choose between pursuing love and desiring spiritual gifts—we are called to do both.

Whether you're hungry to grow in the gifts of the Spirit, wrestling with questions about the supernatural, or longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus, this message will encourage you to pursue the presence of God, love people well, and allow the Holy Spirit to work through your life for His glory.
