Weekday Podcast

In this Tuesday weekday podcast, Pastor Chuck Allen takes listeners into Exodus chapter 2, a passage written for anyone who has ever felt stuck in circumstances beyond their control. Through the dramatic story of Moses' mother—a Hebrew woman forced to hide her baby boy from Pharaoh's death decree—Pastor Chuck unpacks a powerful truth about surrender and divine providence. When this desperate mother reached the point where she could no longer hide or protect her son, she made a basket, waterproofed it with care, and placed him in the very river Pharaoh had designated for death. What follows is one of the […]

On this Monday morning, Pastor Chuck Allen explores Exodus 4 and the powerful encounter between Moses and God at the burning bush. When God calls Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses responds with doubt and excuses—"What if they won't believe me?" God's response is disarmingly simple: "What is that in your hand?" What follows is a profound lesson about how God doesn't wait for us to become someone else before He uses us. Through the transformation of Moses' ordinary shepherd's staff into the "staff of God," Pastor Chuck shows how God specializes in taking what we already have—our […]

Welcome to Friday's edition of the weekday podcast. If you haven't tuned in earlier this week, I'd encourage you to scroll back—each episode builds on the last and points us forward together. Today, I'm opening with a confession: I'm at the age where physical therapy has become a recurring theme in my life. A few years ago, my therapist was someone who actually grew up at our church—sweet, amazing, knows me and my family well. But I'm telling you, there has never been a single session where she stretched me to the point of comfort. Every time, she'd get my arm […]

In this episode, we're talking about church potlucks—and what they reveal about how we think about service. Picture this: three people show up with real food, the kind that's been slow-cooking since 6 a.m., complete with grandma's secret recipe. Meanwhile, 40 others arrive with a two-liter of store-brand soda and a bag of plastic forks opened in the parking lot. Everybody eats well, but only a handful actually cooked. Sound familiar? That's how a lot of churches function too. A small group quietly carries the load—teaching, serving in the nursery, greeting, running tech—while everyone else shows up, benefits, and never wonders […]

In this episode of the weekday podcast, we tackle one of the most common tensions in the Christian life: we love the idea of sharing our faith, but we rarely have a plan to actually do it. How many times have you walked back to your car after hanging out with a friend, coworker, or neighbor—talking about sports, hobbies, work, everything except Jesus—and felt that quiet pang of regret? Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:7 that grace was given to each one of us, not just pastors or platform speakers. Yet research shows an uncomfortable pattern: the longer we've been Christians, […]

Thanks for joining us on this Tuesday morning! On today's weekday podcast episode, Pastor Bobby uses a humorous story about a crooked dock on Lake Lanier to illustrate a profound spiritual truth: faith can drift off-center gradually, half a degree at a time, without us even noticing until the consequences become undeniable. Drawing from Ephesians 4:3 and Paul's seven declarations of unity, the message challenges listeners to examine whether their core beliefs have quietly leaned away from truth over time. The episode emphasizes the difference between a crowd that agrees on a mood and a church that agrees on a creed—urging […]

Welcome to a new week on the Weekday Podcast with Bobby, where a startling personal experience becomes a powerful spiritual mirror. After waking up to find his arm completely numb—still attached but utterly unresponsive—Bobby draws a sobering parallel to the state of many believers today: technically connected to the body of Christ, yet functionally asleep. Drawing from Paul's letter to the Ephesians written from a Roman prison cell, this week's series explores what it means to truly awaken to the calling we've already been given. It's not about doing more or earning God's favor—it's about allowing life to flow through the […]

In this Friday podcast, Pastor Chuck Allen unpacks a profound truth from Galatians 4: you are not God's hired help—you are His family. Drawing from the relatable experience of being welcomed as "family" in a friend's home yet still acting like a guest, Pastor Chuck illustrates how believers often live beneath their true identity. Though we have been fully adopted into God's family through Christ, with every right to call Him "Abba, Father," many of us still knock tentatively at the door, performing for approval rather than walking confidently in our belonging. This message is a powerful invitation to stop living […]

In this Thursday podcast, Pastor Chuck Allen explores a powerful truth from Galatians 3: we cannot earn our way into God's favor through our own effort. Using the relatable example of stubbornly trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions, Pastor Chuck illustrates how the Galatian believers—and often we ourselves—abandon the simple gift of grace to return to performance-based religion. Just as Abraham was counted righteous because of his faith, not his flawless behavior, we are made right with God through trusting Jesus alone. This message is a gentle but firm reminder to stop grading your spiritual performance and instead rest in […]

In this Wednesday's weekday podcast, Pastor Chuck Allen explores Ephesians chapter 4 with a relatable analogy we can all understand: that favorite old shirt we refuse to throw away, even when it no longer fits who we're becoming. Just as we cling to worn-out clothing that's comfortable and familiar, we often hold onto old patterns of bitterness, defensiveness, and self-protection that no longer align with our new identity in Christ. Paul's instruction in Ephesians isn't vague inspiration—it's specific and practical: take off the old nature corrupted by anger, harsh words, and resentment, and put on the new nature of kindness, tenderheartedness, […]
