Unified Gospel

Here is the rest of our conversation with Pastor Travis Linn. Last week we discussed Excellerate Youth, the non-profit that Travis was a part of starting. This week we go a little bit off the rails and talk tattoos, some cultural and political issues within the church, and reminisce about the times when Nik and Jorde were interns together at Relevant Life Church working with Pastor Travis. We hope you enjoy the rest of this conversation!

Nik and Jorde sat down with Pastor Travis Linn from Relevant Life Church. There was too much good that we had to split it into two weeks, so here is the first half of our conversation! Travis, along with an incredible team, started an non-profit called Excellerate Youth in the Fargo-Moorhead area focused on building skills and relationships with foster care youth in our area. Give it a listen and check out their website and social media listed below. This is an organization that we LOVE at Unified Gospel and would greatly appreciate you taking some time to consider supporting the work that they do in our area.

After the last handful of months with Kanye making the news under less than ideal circumstances, we decided it was worth doing a follow-up episode. We discuss what we feel to be appropriate responses to Kanye, and as usual, we drifted down the rabbit trail and talked about celebrity pastors, the importance of rest (and specifically resting well).

We also took some time to listen back to our old episode. This isn't coming from a place of correcting what we said before, we stand by what was said in the past. We just know that it is worth going back and readdressing the conversation.

Nik and Jorde sat down with the founder of renewed by Him, Zane Linn. "renewed by Him is a Christian apparel brand dedicated to sharing God's love to the world!".  Listen to hear Zane's heart behind it, how he hopes to grow the business, and some of his hopes and dreams related to it. Follow his stuff on Instagram or Facebook, and be ready for the pre-sale of April 15!

I know you've been waiting for the rest of this conversation. Here is the remainder of our conversation with Rob Steele. 

Rob is a pastoral Resident at Ignite Church (https://www.ignitechurchfm.com/). 

Rob sat down with Jorde this week and shared his passion for community. He gives a few tips and tricks to making friends at church, but also shares some deeper thoughts as to why it is so valuable to those questioning their faith, new believers, and "seasoned vets" of the church world. Catch part 1 this week, and stay tuned for the second half of the conversation in our next episode! 

Rob is a pastoral Resident at Ignite Church (https://www.ignitechurchfm.com/).

This week Jorde breaks down his early thoughts on an upcoming message themed around Matthew 6:11 from the Lord's Prayer. "Give us this day our daily bread." 

We changed our name! This week, Jorde and Nik discussed the reasons for changing the name from Fargo Christian to Unified Gospel. We also unpacked Jorde's upcoming sermon on Truth and Grace. Give it a listen and let us know what you think! 

Jorde and Nik sit down to discuss Joy in and out of the upcoming Christmas season. 

As always, let us know who you want to hear from, and what you want to hear about! 

Additionally, Merry Christmas, y'all! Thanks for being a part of this with us, it means more than you know! 

Jorde enjoyed some time preparing a sermon for youth group this week and decided to share some of what he was thinking with the listeners this week! Give it a listen, read Romans 3 (also probably 1 and 2 for context) and open up a conversation with someone about what you've learned!
