Hey there! And welcome to the Alinea church podcast. Your place to get all of Alinea Church’s previous messages. Messages designed to equip you on your journey with christ.

This week we get to hear from Troy Asher. Troy has been in ministry for 17 years and a senior pastor for 8 of those years. He and his wife Lina moved from Washington state with their daughter and son-in-law in 2021 and began attending Alinea shortly after. Today, Troy explores who God is, and what that means for our daily lives. Enjoy!

Last week we learned that the life we expected and the Christian life can not match up, leaving us disillusioned. This week instead of looking at our expectations, we are going to look at where we apply our energies. Many times in life we can feel like we are pushing so hard to achieve a certain outcome. Maybe our marriage is struggling, our kids are not turning out like we had hoped, or that we aren’t making headway at work. After all of that struggle, we are left asking, am I even doing this right? Tune in today to hear what Jesus told the disciples was the key to living out Christian life. Enjoy!

This week we were back together having services and starting our new series, “Hot Take.” We are hitting topics that are hot on the heart of the speaker that Sunday. This Sunday, I felt the need to talk about expectations. Too often, we can be sold a version of Christianity that doesn’t meet our expectations. And when we do that, others can feel that there is something wrong with them or something wrong with the message. Neither of those thoughts is true. Instead, we need to realign ourselves with what Jesus said this Christian life would be like. Tune in today to hear part one of the expectations Jesus laid out for the believer.

We continue our series on prayer. This week we look at the many types of prayer God makes available to us in Scripture. Sometimes we are grateful. Sometimes we are in awe. Sometimes we are sad, or even angry. Each of the emotions and each of these circumstances has a unique prayer available to us. Listen in and learn the power of prayer and the many types of prayer we can use.

On this episode Pastor Jeremy reminds us about the importance of prayer as a powerful weapon against the enemy.

It is amazing to think that Jesus spent His years on earth, not only proving He was the Son of God, but also preparing the disciples to continue the Kingdom work after He was gone. Jesus took every moment to teach them the ways of the Gospel Kingdom. At one point, the disciples asked, “Teach us to pray.” What we have from that simple request is a model of how all of us should approach our prayer lives. Listen to learn what Jesus wants you to know today.

We are excited to present to you today 3 new communicators to the Alinea Podcast. What does this mean? These are 3 people who have NEVER preached or taught publicly before. We believe it is critical to share the stage and raise up new communicators to preach God’s word. Today we get to hear from Jennifer Pickwell, Derek Christian, and Daija Sanders.

We are in our final week of Family Matters and will be hearing from the incredible Ryan Law. Ryan leads worship regularly at Alinea Church and leads the entire team weekly. He and his wife Miha are dear friends of Jennifer and I‘s and moved all the way here from Virginia in 2021. Today Ryan brings a message that we all need to hear and that is the topic of fighting for your family.

Today we continue our series on Family Matters by talking about parent and child relationships. And we have a special treat for you to do that! This week, Pastor Shawn McGill will be bringing the message.

Jennifer and I have known Shawn and his wife Jennifer for nearly 7 years and their sweet boy Samuel who is 5. Together Shawn and Jennifer pastor Lifepoint Church in Louisville, KY which launched in February of 2021. They have experienced tremendous growth and seen lots of life change. So listen and take some notes.

It’s week 2 of our series Family Matters! And it is Mother’s day! We are excited to bring you a special mother’s day panel hosted by my wife Jennifer. Jennifer and I have been married for 19 years and we’ve been parents for 15 of those years. Today, Jennifer will be interviewing several women on the topic of motherhood. No matter your stage in life, I promise there is something in this message for everyone. Enjoy!
