As we return to life beyond our 28-day Digital Fast, we sit down with Pastor Jason to unpack the journey and the reentry. We discuss the biggest takeaways for us personally, for Bethlehem Church, and for the Church at large. In this episode, we reflect on areas of growth, the moments that surprised us, and the daily disciplines that have reshaped our relationship with technology. Pastor Jason challenges us to be INTENTIONAL instead of INSTINCTUAL when it comes to how we use our phones. This isn't just about screen time. It's a matter of discipleship and forming habits that lead us toward greater awareness of Jesus' presence, deeper rest, and a renewed mind.

As we enter the final week of our Digital Fast, we turn the page to Week 4's theme: “Determine.” In this episode, we reflect on what we've learned and how this fast has shaped us—spiritually, relationally, and personally. What fruit has come from this intentional pause? What priorities have become clear? And how do we carry this clarity into the days ahead? Join Angela, Kevin, Chevas, and Emma as they share stories of transformation, honest insights about challenges, and the surprising joy from detaching to reconnect. From pulling up spiritual “weeds” to reordering priorities and rediscovering the practice of abiding in God, this conversation is both grounding and inspiring. We'll also look at Proverbs 4:23 and John 15, discussing what it means to guard your heart and abide in God's presence. If you've ever struggled with distraction, disconnection, or the busyness of digital life, this episode is a powerful reminder that what matters most is often what we've been too busy to notice.

As we enter Week 3 of the Digital Fast, our theme turns to Delight—not in the finished product, but in the present moment. This week's conversation invites us to pause and consider: What does it look like to delight in God's Word right now, in the middle of the fast, not just at the end? Join Angela, Kevin, Matt Piland, and Kyle Hale as they reflect on: What it means to take delight during the process, not just the result. Specific ways they're delighting in God's Word right now. How stillness and solitude have opened space for a deeper relationship. Why solitude can feel uncomfortable—and how we can press through resistance to encounter God more fully. We've walked through Detaching and Discovering—now let's explore how to Delight in the truth, beauty, and presence of God.

In this week's episode, Angela and Kevin interview Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Dustin to discuss the transformative journey of discovery during the second week of the Digital Fast series. They explore the difference between "discovering" and merely "detaching" from digital distractions, sharing personal insights on self-awareness and spiritual growth, and unveiling modern-day idols. Tune in to gain valuable insights to help you along your Digital Fast journey and join us next week for Week 3 of the Digital Fast with Pastor Matt and Pastor Kyle!

In this episode, we kick off our churchwide digital fast with a deep dive into the first week of this 28-day journey. Join Pastor Jason, Angela, and Kevin as they discuss the purpose of the fast, the benefits of detaching from technology, and how disconnecting can help us reconnect—with God, others, and ourselves. Learn why this fast is about more than just taking a break from screens; it's about creating space for intentional focus, better relationships, and spiritual clarity. We'll explore the importance of "detaching to connect" and unpack the first theme in our digital fast workbook: Detach. Plus, hear why Pastor Jason felt called to lead this fast and the powerful lessons that can come from temporarily unplugging. Stay tuned for more insights on how this practice can transform our minds, hearts, and relationship with technology. Episode Highlights: What is the Digital Fast, and why is it important? The benefits of taking a break from technology. The concept of "Detaching to Connect." Pastor Jason's inspiration for leading this journey. How our technology fixation subtly shifts our focus.

This episode explores the heart of Bethlehem Church's mission: leading people to discover new life in Christ. Join our Discipleship Team as we unpack what it means to be a people of hope and a place of healing, moving toward becoming more like Jesus in every stage of life. We'll dive into three directives that we see clearly in Scripture—looking up to God, leaning into community, and going out to make disciples—and reflect on how discipleship is not a destination but a way of life. Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with Jesus for years, this episode is a reminder of the hope, healing, and purpose found in Him. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you can always a next step to growing in Christ.

As our community continues to heal in the aftermath of the heartbreaking tragedy at Apalachee High School, we sit down with Spencer Haynes, Mary-Michal Han, and CJ Moneke, who have been walking alongside students and families, offering hope and support.   Join us as we reflect on how God is moving in the midst of sorrow and celebrate the ways people have stepped up to serve and love one another in this difficult time. 

In this episode, the Discipleship Team explores the power of choosing faith over fear when life feels uncertain. As Christians, we often face situations that challenge our trust in God—personal struggles, tragic events, global crises, or simply the unknowns of tomorrow. We'll dive into how Scripture encourages us to believe in God's plan and lean on His promises during these difficult moments. We'll also discuss the Body of Christ's vital role in supporting each other, offering prayer, encouragement, and community as we walk through life's uncertainties together. Discover practical ways to overcome fear and trust in God's provision, and learn how to look up, lean in, and go out, standing firm in our faith together, no matter what life throws our way.

In this episode, we explore the profound journey of grief. In John 16:33, Jesus says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Grief is a complex process, and it looks different for everyone. Many attending Bethlehem Church have found hope and healing through joining a Grief Share group. We offer Grief Share groups every semester. Whether you've just entered a season of grief, have been walking through one for a while, or have come through it and found healing on the other side, wherever you are, Grief Share is for you. Our guests featured in this episode, Mitch and Diane Plemmons, Lauren Jendrzejewski, Al and Debby Hawkins, and Beth Holmes, remind us that we are not alone in our journey and that there is hope, healing, and joy found in Christ-centered community.
