Jess and Thom will answer listener questions at various points throughout the year. This week, we will answer several questions on two of our podcasts.

Someone puked loudly while I was preaching. How should I handle unexpected interruptions?

We are excited to be partnering with Upward Sports in 2025. Upward Sports is the world’s largest Christian youth sports organization, partnering with local churches to use sports as a powerful outreach tool to engage the community.

To remind our listeners, Upward offers a variety of league options, including basketball, cheerleading, soccer, flag football, volleyball, baseball… and now running for adults.

Partnering with Upward Sports helps your church reach the community, attract young families, and share the Gospel in a meaningful way.
