Branch Life Podcast

What is grief and is there hope within our grief? Through all circumstances, there is a process, especially with grief. Join us as we welcome our guest speaker, Jim Comenzo, as he walks you through how you experience, express, and choose to allow grief to make us better, not bitter.

Is there more to life here on earth? During the Christmas Crazy, Christ allows you to experience the season's craziness. As he was born his greatest gift was salvation and the ministry of reconciliation. Join us as we reveal how we, as believers in Jesus Christ, can experience a new destination after life on earth, a new record, a new life here on earth, and so much more. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

Join us as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and savior of our world.

Would you be content with a manager this Christmas season? In whatever situation, we need to learn to be content. God will always provide us with what we need. Once you find that contentment in your heart, there are beautiful life-changing treasures that give you peace, especially during Christmas. Join us as we learn the secret of how to be content and how God helps in every circumstance. Philippians 4:10-23

Why is it that we are typically anxious around the Christmas season? With the hustle of the holidays, we often lose peace in our hearts. Jesus is the only one who brings peace back into our anxious hearts, and the only way to do so is through prayer and supplication. Join us as we learn how to regain our peace this Christmas season.

Do you ever struggle with believing that God will do what He promises through us? We can be reassured that no Good Works is done alone since we are God's tools to help us accomplish His plan. Join us in our last session in our Good Works series and be encouraged as we discover three guarantees that God gives to us while we do Good Works for Him.

Do you ever lose sight of who you are working for? We are told in the book of Colossians to work heartily for the Lord and not for men. In today's society, it is easy to lose your vision and forget who you are working for while trying to get even and losing contentment. Join us today for encouraging truths on keeping our hard work focused on God's rewards instead of man's edification.

Do you consider yourself a generous person? Do you budget your time and finances to give generously without strings attached? Generous people give constantly, habitually, and systematically over a lifetime but radical generosity is rare even within the church. Join us today as we seek biblical guidance on how generosity is important through Nehemiah, a Widow, and the Good Samaritan.

What is the Biblical view on Poverty? How did it start, will it ever subside, and who's there to run to? Have you ever considered Good Works to help the poor? If Christ laid down his own life for us, we too need to do the same for our brothers and sisters. We need to love with action and truth. But how do we do this within our busy lives that are often focused on ourselves? Join us as we learn how to love and do good works for the poor while examining our lives; is it full of not enough time or others or is it full of Good Works and Charity? We are called to be the light for others to see Christ. It may be hard work to be known for good work, but others will see the light of Christ shine through you once you start!

Do you really work hard? It takes hard work to be known for good work. We are told that our good works do not save us, so what is the point of doing good? We, as followers of Christ Jesus, were created to have our light shine before others so they may see our good works and be examples of Christ. Join us as we discover how saved people serve people no matter how difficult the task is while building a profitable impact for kingdom purposes.

Are we guaranteed a troubled-free leadership journey when we are leading and trusting with God? Many examples in the Bible show God-fearing people leading, God's way, but the enemy still attacks. What should we do when trouble comes? Nehemiah reminds us not to be afraid, remember the Lord is great and awesome, and will fight for us! During this finale of our LEAD series, we will learn how to keep calm, trust God, and carry on no matter what obstacle we are faced with. Anything is possible with God! Nehemiah 4:1-15

How do great leaders make more leaders rather than more followers? Nehemiah had 60 different named leaders help rebuild the wall. So what was his secret? Join us as we learn how to teach, appoint, and allow others to serve so your load as a leader lightens because you can share the load while watching them develop their leadership skills.

What is the cost of being a leader? Influential leaders look before they lead and consider the cost. After prayerfully considering your leadership role, do you know God's clear vision on which path or decision you need to make in any area of life? We as leaders need to look and listen to God's voice. Join us as we learn how Nehemiah set an amazing example of listening to God's voice to prepare for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

If you could ask for anything, what would you ask for? Outstanding leadership is not afraid to ask questions. Your Big Ask becomes your reality when God has the same plan for you. Nehemiah asked a big question and God provided. Join us as we discover great leadership questions to ask and how we need to be in constant communication with God in all our leadership roles.

How can influential leaders go boldly before God to ask dangerous, life-changing, world-transforming, God-glorifying prayers? Join us as we learn from Nehemiah's bold prayers and how we can apply them and pray continually for the walls in our lives just as Nehemiah did.

How do influential leaders allow God to become connected in their leadership? PRAYER. Prayer connects us to God's sovereignty and to our responsibility. Through prayer, we must humble ourselves before the Lord, allowing us to recognize we need God in control of our leadership. Join us today as we see how Nehemiah used prayer to lead in God's power and not his own.

Do you ever ask yourself how I study the Bible, the Old Testament, and the book of Nehemiah? Join us today on how to apply the "Look | Think | Do (apply)" method as we gear up and start our new book study in Nehemiah.

What must the meal include at a Table Talk? Is it just about the food or both food and meaningful conversation? When Jesus said "Go and do likewise", there is no room for greed. As Jesus sets the ultimate example of Radical Generosity, we need to set that example for our guests without selfish ambition. Join us as we learn how we are to continue on the path of generosity and the dangers of living in greed and selfish ambition.

What part of your regular rhythm intentionally includes seeking the lost? If people are lost and without Christ, should they be treated differently? Join us as we unfold the topic of our guests and learn how to seek those who are lost while having our expectations be different towards them while loving them as Christ loves us.

What is the agenda of a Table Talk? When you're a Christian you should have an inner excitement to share the love of Christ with others. How can you speak up and not feel frightened? When you have a clear agenda going into your conversation that excitement will flourish into an unashamed voice that is not afraid to speak the Truth. Join us today and learn 4 reasons why your agenda should never be a surprise.

What happened and why are we all dealing with brokenness? If we are all broken, we better not underestimate the severity of sin. It will pull you further away from God's intention and will make your life displeasing to God. Join us as we see how rich God's mercy is for us and how we can encourage others to repent from their sins in order to change the brokenness in their lives, only by God's grace.
