Troy Gramling Podcast

Are you living in circumstances that you don’t like? Maybe your life isn’t going exactly as you had planned. Do you blame others for your failures or shortcomings? Living with this victim mentality won’t change your situation—in fact, it’ll only hurt it. This Christmas, let God show you another way to live. Take ownership of your life, make the changes, and let God guide you into a life of abundance and fulfillment!

When planning and preparing for the Christmas cooking, there are so many ingredients and preparations that go into a beautiful, delicious Christmas meal spread. More than this, the Christmas table is a place of fellowship, where everyone should be welcome and no past debts held onto. Ouch—that can be hard to do, to forgive and welcome those who have hurt us. God forgave us for all of our failures and mistakes—and in the season of Christmas, we are to model Him and reconcile with one another as He has reconciled with us!

It’s easy to be thankful and grateful when life is good and things are going in your favor. Then there are times when nothing seems to be going your way—life doesn’t seem so great. How can we still see God’s blessings when we can’t see past our current, maybe not-so-great circumstances? Pastor Troy Gramling shares a message about gratitude and leaning on God in ALL times—the good AND especially the bad!

As preparations for Christmas continue, you may find yourself shopping for special gifts for your loved ones, family, and friends. It’s the season to celebrate giving gifts to others as God gave us the ultimate gift in his Son, Jesus. But more than physical gifts, what does God want us to be “shopping” for this Christmas? He alone gives us the peace, joy, and hope, which surpass any material gift we could ever receive!

As Christmas time draws near, we find ourselves readying for the holidays with preparations and decorations. There’s excitement in the air and joy at the celebration of the birth of Jesus. What do you think God is preparing for at Christmas? Pastor Troy Gramling shares that while we hurriedly prepare for Christmas, God is preparing for His return and a revival among us!

What is excellence? What amount of effort is enough? Are you just barely sliding by in this life, or are you doing your utmost to be the best you can be in everything you do? So many people will try to tell you that it’s okay to do the bare minimum, which is actually the opposite of excellence. Pastor Tyler Gramling gives a passionate teaching on what excellence actually is, and ultimately why excellence matters!

We have all heard the childhood fairytale “Little Red Riding Hood”, the story of a girl who goes to visit her grandma and instead finds a wolf impersonating her grandma. She expects to see her sweet grandmother, but upon arrival actually is deceived by this manipulative wolf. Life can be a lot like this crazy fairytale. We have hopes, dreams, goals—but much like the wolf, there’s an Enemy who seeks to steal your future and leave you hopeless and destitute. Pastor Troy Gramling shares the secrets to successfully defeating the enemy of lies, and instead pointing you to the way of Jesus—the One who will bring you to a future filled with abundance, peace, strength, direction, and true courage!

When Snow White stumbled upon the cottage in the forest, not only did she come upon a house full of people, she gained friends—a community. Human beings need a sense of community, togetherness, for their own happiness, mental health, and believe it or not, spiritual health. God commands us in the Bible to never stop meeting together as believers, to be the church in the sense of the word meaning a community of people! That’s powerful! Pastor Troy Gramling shares a word on the power of community, and why God made us for community in this life.

Have you ever heard the fairytale about Hansel & Gretel? It’s a story about greed and straying, and then the journey home. There’s a similar parable in the Bible dealing with much the same issue—the story of the prodigal son. Both talk about temptation, sin, but the incredible journey back home and the redemption it brings. What about when we stray in our own lives? Maybe you’ve done some things that you aren’t proud of, maybe even you feel like you have ruined your life? Does God offer the same forgiveness and redemption for you?
