  • Let's Talk Money Part 2
    Aug 26 2024

    This episode is a "part two" to the theological conversation we had about money in the previous episode--Episode 4--where we discussed personal financial stewardship. In this episode, we'll discuss corporate financial stewardship, the importance of radical generosity when it comes to giving to God, and we'll even talk about our budgeting process as we tackle the annual church budget as a church family. We really enjoyed having this conversation; we hope you'll enjoy it, too.

  • Let's Talk Money
    Aug 25 2024

    In today's episode, we're going to talk about money. The way we earn, save, and spend money is incredibly relevant when it comes to talking about discipleship and faithfully following Jesus. With our Executive Pastor, Jordan Scott, as our guest, we delve into a passionate conversation about money and our faith. The conversation was too good to cut off, so we've split the episode into two parts. This episode will primarily focus on personal financial stewardship, but be sure to catch our next episode, which is a continuation of this conversation where we focus on corporate financial stewardship as a church family. We'll talk about our church budget and bring you into our budgeting process a bit, too. We also have a theological discussion on the importance of radical giving. We hope you enjoy both episodes!

  • Remembering Dr. Tim Keller
    Jun 4 2023
    Dr. Timothy J. Keller leaves an incredible legacy of faith and effective gospel proclamation through his numerous sermons, books, articles, and other materials, but the way in which he lived for Christ is perhaps the most inspirational part of his legacy. In this episode, Paul and Mary are joined by Pastor Jayson Oldham as they reflect on Dr. Keller's impact on their lives and ministries. Hebrews 13:7 encourages us to "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith." We are thankful to have had an awesome example of faith.

  • Let's Talk Anxiety
    May 26 2023
    Anxiety impacts so many people's lives in today's culture. Whether it's at the workplace, in your home, or in other relationship contexts, you probably have experienced the challenges of anxiety yourself or perhaps you've walked alongside someone struggling with anxiety. In this episode, we want to get curious about anxiety, and in order to do that, we've enlisted the help of a clinical counsellor, Chelsea Conron, who practices professional counselling locally. Join us in an honest and vulnerable conversation about anxiety. We even dive into a biblically appropriate response to anxiety and other mental health challenges. This is an episode you don't want to miss.
