The Overflow Podcast

The first step to joining any team is registration day. It’s when you go to the info meeting and hear what it means to be part of the team. It’s where you see the practice and game schedule, the needed equipment and personal commitment…it's where you pay the cost, get your jersey, and find your place on the roster. In the last several hundred years, the local church has been a “team” of a few excited and exhausted professionals trying to DO the work of the ministry while the majority of Christ-followers have been invited to merely take a seat in the stadiums of our services. But what if God is awakening something in our DNA to return to His actual design for the Church: a multi-faceted community that walks in confidence to release every shade of Jesus upon the earth? What if that game plan has already been activated and is guaranteed to make the enemy of our souls run for cover? In this message, Pastor Chuck turns to Ephesians 3 to call for the return of a church who rediscovers her confidence in a community where every member of the team is wanted, worthy, qualified, and necessary! 

 On several occasions before healing someone, Jesus asked a critical question: “What do you want me to do for you?” The starting line of wholeness and the birthplace of revival are both re-awakening desire: “What do you want?” In this message, Pastor Chuck shares the message of Jacob’s struggles with an orphan spirit that kept him wrestling everywhere grace called him to rest…and how the God who pursued him changed everything when he finally got honest about the hunger of his heart. 

In the past year at Overflow, God has moved in incredible ways and He’s just getting started. In this message, Pastor Chuck shares victories of 2022, plus several urgent places God is aligning His Church for sustained revival right now. Don’t wait. Get in the Game!

Keys give you access to things that are valuable, beneficial, and necessary. They unlock the places we live, our means of transportation, and key areas intended for our safety. Keys let things in, and they let things out. Jesus said that He gave every follower of His KEYS on earth to release from heaven what needs to manifest on earth, and to lock up and send away old dead assignments from the kingdom of our enemy. The keys are already ours, but we’ve got to discover them and take them out of our pockets! It’s time to take out your keys! 

Whol-i-ness is refined in every place we put our trust in our Redeemer, not our reforms. Humanity has struggled since the beginning with the belief that “if we could just get fill-in-the-blank, then we’d finally be happy and whole.” It has led so many into a contractual relationship with God, believing if we just follow His rules enough, He will bless the life we’re building on our own terms. In this, we spend ample soul trying to re-align our circumstances or resenting God where He isn’t making life “work.” But what if something gloriously better is happening? What if God is always and only REFINING us to a life much better than anything we could script? In this message, Pastor Chuck shares how we can surrender control as re-aligners and find joy in the arms of the Refiner!

Us being “holy” (set apart for a life for God) comes as the byproduct of us being whole. Holiness is the fruit of Wholeness. In this message, Pastor Chuck dispels some myths about holiness that keep us needlessly caught on a hamster wheel, trying to run where grace already brought us. He also shares about the JOY of Spirit-filled fasting that walks with our Father on the path of the wholeness that releases holiness! 

The new series, Christmas at Overflow, kicks off today. We are being called to believe in four key truths: that God is for us, he is with us, he is in us, and he moves through us.  What is possible in the kingdom of God when we believe these truths? There is an ongoing effect of transformation in us! 

In this first message of a 6-part series, Pastor Erin asks us, if you believe God is for you, then what are you believing him for? She interviews Philip and Anna Mull who 

are stepping out in their God-given dream to become missionaries to a foreign land. The interview begs us to identify our dream, identify the author, identify the obstacles and identify the next steps of that dream.
