The typical church in the United States is growing older and growing smaller. Research indicates that as many as half of the people growing up in Christian churches today will end up walking away from their religious affiliation. The Growing Together Podcast is all about honest and hopeful conversation with leaders who are challenging the narrative and creating thriving Seventh-day Adventist Churches for all generations. The current state of the church today is not the end of the story, and you can be part of the change. Listen, learn, be inspired, and share with your network. We are stronger together.

Whether you’re a “glass half-empty” or a “glass half-full” personality, occasionally, our glass can feel completely empty. Yet when we come to the Lord with our parched souls, He is able to refill our glass…and we can watch it spill over with abundance!
In a world of different nations, languages and ideologies, there is much to divide us. But even when we are among the members of groups we identify with, we still find things to separate and disunite us. Today, Pastor Hedy shows us how we can pursue peace and harmony with our brothers and sisters in the Holy Spirit, free of condemnation.
The Bible tells us to love our neighbor. But what does love look like? What does it mean to love one another? And how can we know if we're doing it right? Our series in the love letter of Romans continues with a special presentation by Rev. Dionne Hammond.

During the Labor Day weekend, our focus is on rest from our work. But God makes a provision for us to rest each week on the Sabbath day. God is not a workaholic; He himself took a break from his labors. It behooves us to do likewise. Listen to this special message from Bishop Ken Carter and District Superintendent June Edwards with the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church on the value of the Sabbath day of rest.
Remember the last really great movie you saw? It was so good that the next day you told everyone at work or school all about it, and urged them not to miss it. Your enthusiastic response to the movie probably convinced them to go see it as well, and when they came back glowing from their enjoyment, your delight was multiplied. Happiness begets happiness! There is a far more wonderful message that you can communicate, one that not just sparks joy and happiness in others, but multiplies your own. This Sunday, Pastor Hedy shares how we can be the messengers of a great and powerful truth, one that will bring salvation and eternal joy to those that need it most.
What has power over you? What has you subjected to someone (or something) else's control? Release it to God today! Spend a moment in Romans 6:19-20.
Today's promise comes from Romans 5:15-17. The actions of two men had very different consequences. Because of Adam, death has come to all. Because of Jesus, we receive grace and forgiveness as a gift from a good and loving God.
There's an old joke that says that Christians are like teabags--you don't really know what's in them until you put them in hot water. But why? Why must we be immersed in all of these troubles? If God loves us, why would He allow us to endure the pressure of all of these problems? Pastor Hedy takes us to the Book of Romans to unpack a scripture that answers this age-old question. It may surprise you to learn that there is a very good purpose to our day-to-day suffering.

We don't need the Bible to tell us that we have missed the mark in our lives. We've failed to meet our own standards--the ones we set for ourselves--let alone God's standards for us. God's law is the great equalizer...it reminds us that we have all, without exception, fallen short. But the story doesn't end there. Join Pastor Hedy to learn how God provides a way for us to be made right with Him. And with it comes the knowledge that we all, without exception, owe our forgiveness to the matchless love and grace of a good and loving God!
