The Acoma Podcast

We were made to serve others, yet sometimes we miss the needs of other people. How do we develop our own hearts and the hearts of people in our churches to proactively serve others? Mark and Ben talk through some practical ways we can grow in this.

The guys are joined by Kevin Hasenack, a pastor at Calvary Wellspring, to talk about global mission. The Bible is clear that people from every tribe, nation, and tongue will be in the fold of God, so what is our role in it all? Kevin and his wife were missionaries in North Africa, and shares some of his personal experiences, as well as how people in America can get involved even today.

Several resources are discussed in this episode, and here are some links to the ones mentioned.

In part II of our Sharpen Our Arrows conversation, Mark, Amy, and Tim discuss some practical ways that people in our church can be a part of discipling kids in our church. It takes all of us to raise up the next generation of God's people, so we all need to know some practical steps on how we can be a part of it.

Tim, Calvary Englewood's Family Pastor, and Amy, our Children's Ministry Director join the podcast to talk about a new discipleship focus this summer at Calvary. In part I, they discuss the overall vision behind "Sharpen Our Arrows" and some practical ways for parents to help their kids engage in worship. The long term vision is huge here, and this episode is for everybody, not just parents! Whether you have kids or not, you are a big part of discipling kids at our church.

Over the past year, the unity in local churches has been tested. Unity starts with individual Christians, so what should be in our hearts as we interact closely with people who view things differently than we do?

How should churches view other churches in their neighborhoods and cities? Are they allies for the Gospel? What if we don't agree doctrinally with them? Should we partner with them?

So many hot button and contentious issues and events have happened over the last 12-18 months, causing many to wonder: "to what degree should these be addressed in my local church?" The guys share their thoughts on how we handle that at Calvary Englewood.

The guys cover part II of their conversation about the Mysteries of God. They cover several verses in scripture, and talk about both doctrinal and personal mysteries and what to make of them.

Ben and Adam have some fun, because darn it, we all need some fun right now. They talk pet peeves, kick around some stories, and have some laughs. Enjoy!
