Senior Pastor Josh Pardee and Hopevale Church Elder Bill Hobson discuss the third and final message of Hopevale's series, Visible: When the Kingdom Shows Up. In today's podcast, Josh and Bill explore what generosity looks like in the church, how Scripture speaks about it, and the small steps believers can take in their faith and in their community.
In this follow-up to Kingdom Manifesto, we turn from Jesus' vision of the Kingdom to the moment it became visible in real people. Through Acts 2:42–47, this series explores how the early church embodied the revolution of Jesus in everyday life—through their devotion, their generosity, their shared life, and the power of God moving among them. The invisible Kingdom became unmistakable as their love, sacrifice, unity, and Spirit-filled courage broke into the world. In VISIBLE, we'll discover that the same Kingdom is meant to be seen through us today—ordinary believers revealing an extraordinary King, a community that looks like heaven, and a people whose lives make grace impossible to ignore.
Bay City Director Tamara Schlatter, Senior Pastor Josh Pardee and Saginaw Campus Pastor Sam Burke discuss the second message of Hopevale's series, Visible: When the Kingdom Shows Up. In today's podcast, they talk about struggling with faith, using discernment, finding community, and more.

We want to try to make learning about Jesus simple, straightforward, and approachable by breaking big truths into small, meaningful episodes. Each episode helps you see who Jesus is, why His life matters, and how His teachings apply to everyday life. By taking in theology in bite-sized portions, you'll grow closer to Christ and deepen your faith one step at a time.
Life is shaped by rhythms that form who we become. Rhythms of Grace is an ongoing series that explores spiritual practices to help us grow in faith and experience God's presence. These disciplines—such as prayer, Sabbath, fasting, and more —aren't about earning God's love, but about living more fully in it. Each message will unpack a practice and provide practical tools to help you put it into action. In a world of hurry and distraction, these rhythms help us slow down and re-center on what matters most. As we follow Jesus, these practices shape us, both individually and collectively as the church, into His image.
Everyone's searching for something—hope that endures, peace that lasts, joy that overflows, love that changes everything. The Magi followed a distant light across unfamiliar terrain, unsure of where it would lead but certain it was worth the journey. This Advent, we join them. As we search for the same things, we discover that every longing finds its answer in Jesus. The search doesn't just lead us to Him—it changes the way we live when we leave His presence.

Join Bay City Director Tamara Schlatter and Senior Pastor Josh Pardee as they explore the message from the final week of our series titled Crooked Sticks.
The story of Jacob's sons is messy, painful, redemptive, and beautiful. It's the story of betrayal and forgiveness, grief and healing, famine and provision. But more than that, it's the story of how God takes a broken family and forms a people through whom He will bless the whole world. From the very beginning, God's heart has been to include the outsider and heal what's been fractured. This series invites us into that story—not just to watch it unfold, but to find ourselves in it. Because God is still using crooked sticks to draw straight lines—and to build His family today.

Jesus changed the world—one table at a time. Whether He was eating with tax collectors, reclining with friends, or feeding the multitudes, Jesus used the table as a place of welcome, witness, and transformation. In this five-week series, we'll reimagine evangelism not as a presentation to perfect, but as an invitation to extend. Using the acronym T.A.B.L.E., we'll learn how to reach those around us with love, authenticity, and boldness—one meal, one conversation, one act of kindness at a time. Each week, we unpack a simple, intentional step that brings us closer to someone far from God—and brings them closer to the life-changing love of Jesus.
