Conversations

This week on the Conversations Podcast, the discussion explores Acts 20 and Paul's warning about false teaching. The conversation reflects on the challenge of teaching difficult truths, the importance of approaching Scripture with humility and prayer, and how subtle cultural influences can shape the way truth is understood. It also offers practical encouragement to stay grounded in God's Word, remain in community, and rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment.

Walking by the Spirit begins with humility - recognizing it's not about what people do for God, but what God does through them. In Acts 18–19, Apollos models a teachable spirit and a posture of continual growth. As believers surrender daily, the Holy Spirit transforms lives from the inside out, producing lasting fruit like love, peace, and faithful obedience.

In this episode of Conversations, the team dives into Acts 18 and the message Run to Win, exploring what it looks like to follow Jesus with endurance, purpose, and trust. The discussion reflects on Paul's example of seeing all of life as sacred—work, relationships, and mission—rather than compartmentalizing faith. The conversation highlights the importance of abiding in Christ, running the race with trusted teammates, and recognizing when God opens (or closes) doors. Through stories, Scripture, and practical wisdom, this episode reminds listeners that God is always at work, often in unexpected ways, and invites each of us to run our race with faithfulness and surrender.

Acts 17 shows how the gospel demands a response—some believe, others resist. Paul's message reveals a God who wants to be known and challenges us to ask: Who's on the throne of my life? The episode encourages daily devotion, spiritual discipline, and a heart that aches for others to know Jesus.

God moves in unexpected ways, through unexpected people, and in unexpected places. In this episode, Pastor Jose and Worship Pastor Joel reflect on Acts 16, sharing personal stories of divine redirection, trusting God when plans change, and learning to worship even before the breakthrough comes.

In Acts 15, conflict in the early church wasn't avoided — it was addressed with humility, clarity, and a commitment to unity. This episode unpacks how believers can handle tension without grumbling or arguing, stay anchored in the gospel, and respond to grace with obedience.

This episode spotlights Acts 14, the “door of faith” and what it looks like to follow Jesus through both miracles and hardship. The conversation explores praying boldly for healing while trusting God's sovereignty and learning to redirect praise back to God. It also offers encouragement for anyone hesitant to re-enter community after hurt, emphasizing humility, presence, and lament as a pathway forward.

As we step into a new year, we return to Acts 13 and are reminded that a Spirit-filled life isn't about talent, volume, or ambition—it's about abiding in Christ. In this conversation, we explore what it means to live set apart, cultivate healthy spiritual habits, and hold humility and boldness together. From scripture memorization to confronting selfish ambition, this episode invites us to slow down, listen to the Holy Spirit, and let God shape our habits before our habits shape us. When we empty ourselves of noise, offense, and entitlement, God faithfully fills us with His presence—and that's where real transformation begins.

Capping off the Christmas series, this episode explores what it really means to receive God's love—and what gets in the way. From fear and self-sufficiency to compassion fatigue and the balance of grace + truth, it's a practical, hope-filled reset for the new year. Don't do 2026 alone—lean into Jesus and lean into community.

Joy isn't just a feeling for easy seasons. In this episode, Pastor Jose and Dr. Carl talk through Luke 2 and the “good news of great joy” — exploring how Jesus as Savior, Messiah, and Lord anchors joy even in grief, hardship, and unmet expectations.

This episode of Conversations kicks off a Christmas series by exploring how each Gospel tells the story of Christ's arrival through a different lens. The discussion centers on redefining hope, recognizing God's provision, and anchoring our lives in Jesus rather than ourselves. A reminder that Advent isn't just something we revisit each year—it's an invitation to believe, repent, and rest in who God says we are.

In this episode, we walk through Acts 12 with Jose and Bob Maas, exploring Peter's jailbreak, the tension of unanswered prayers, and what it looks like to pray earnestly, obey before understanding, and remain hopeful in dark seasons. A conversation about trusting God's work—seen and unseen—as He moves in our lives and in His church.

We continue our Acts series with a conversation on Acts 11 - highlighting how God's grace moves us into growth, community, and generosity. From Barnabas' encouragement to the church's response to need, we explore what it looks like to trust God and step outside our comfort zones.
