The Stillwater Podcast

Are we squeezing Jesus into the life we already have—or letting him reshape it?

Noah and Maggie join Nathan and Enrique to talk through Mark 2:18–22: old habits we hang on to, prayer that feels slow, and what following Jesus looks like in our friendships, our work, and our ordinary days.

Alan Johnson’s sermon from Stillwater’s Tuesday gathering on October 27, 2026. Exploring Mark 2:18–22 and the new life Jesus invites us into.

Ben joins Alan and Nathan to talk through Mark 2:1–17, from the friends who carried a man to Jesus to the unlikely crowd gathered around Matthew’s table. We talk about friendships that help us grow, the difference a simple invitation can make, and what it looks like for people to see Christ in our everyday lives.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to start following Jesus.

Stillwater meets Tuesdays at 7:00 at 3900 Loop Rd in Monroe. Follow along on Instagram @stillwater.fmm.

Reflecting on Mark 1:35–45, the conversation moves from making time for God to carrying faith into ordinary work—and why gathering together should prepare us to go out and serve. Alan also revisits the hope at the heart of Tuesday’s message: Jesus isn’t only able to break the cycle. He’s willing.

What’s the difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing him? Nathan sits down with Noah, Noah and Mason to talk through Mark 1:21–34 and what it means to move from fan to follower. From Drew Brees stats to honest stories about college, drifting in faith and surrendering control, the conversation gets practical about following Jesus in everyday life. We talk about grace when we’ve wandered, trusting him to lead, and why the next step doesn’t have to wait until tomorrow.

What does following Jesus look like when you don’t know what comes next? Anna Belle and Addie join Nathan and Alan to talk through Mark 1:9–20, trusting God in a waiting season, letting go of the pressure to have everything figured out, and taking the next faithful step.
