In a world where both physical and spiritual fathers are increasingly absent, this bold and heartfelt Father's Day message is a challenge and a call: Real Godly Men Make Great Fathers. Join Pastor Bailey as he unpacks the life of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus—a man who never speaks a recorded word in Scripture, yet lives out a powerful testimony through his actions. From being just and merciful to spirit-led and quick to obey, Joseph's life reveals 7 godly attributes every man can pursue. You'll laugh, reflect, and be stirred to grow. In this episode:   Why Joseph's silence speaks louder than most sermons What pressure reveals about your identity The power of quick obedience And why being amazed by Jesus might be the most manly trait of all This message is for dads, future dads, and men who want to become the kind of leaders their families and communities need.  Tune in now and remember: Great fathers aren't formed by chance. They're forged by godliness.

This Pentecost Sunday, Elder Ken Schwendemann brings a fiery word that will stir your spirit and awaken your calling. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be baptized not only in the Spirit—but in power. Too many believers are living without the full force of what Jesus promised: we are not meant to be cannon fodder in a spiritual war—we are meant to carry fire. Through powerful stories, biblical insight, and prophetic encouragement, this message dives deep into: Why Jesus said wait before you go The difference between the dove and the fire of the Holy Spirit The gifts of the Spirit as spiritual nukes—not religious badges Why power is essential to overcoming the works of the enemy A personal call to step into your purpose, anointing, and inheritance You were never meant to just survive. You were created to carry Kingdom power.

This Memorial Day weekend, we honor the brave men and women who laid down their lives for our freedom—and reflect on the One who gave His life for our eternal freedom.

Discover how simply talking to Him can change everything about the way we live, speak, and love others. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned disciple, today's message will inspire you to open your mouth, lift your heart, and let Jesus be on your lips—every day. Scripture Focus: John 1:35–51 Key Phrase: “Come and see.” Challenge: Make talking about Jesus normal in your everyday life.

Thanks & Giving  John 1:1–13 | Psalm 116:17 In this heartfelt and Spirit-filled message, Pastor Bailey unpacks the opening verses of John's Gospel, reminding us that Jesus is the Word, the Light, and the very life that darkness cannot overcome. Through humor, revelation, and powerful truth, we're invited to see our identity as children of God not just as a gift—but as God's original plan. But here's the challenge: What is the action of your thanksgiving? More than just words, Pastor Bailey calls us to move from thanks to giving—to offer a true sacrifice of thanksgiving. Whether it's a note of gratitude, a personal item, or an act of surrender, this message leads us to ask the Lord, “What would You like me to give You?” Don't miss this stirring invitation to encounter Jesus, embrace your identity, and respond with bold, obedient gratitude. Let's not just say we're thankful—let's show it.  Get ready for a season of radical thanksgiving and supernatural giving!

With warmth, humor, and powerful personal testimony, Lacey reminds us that “Mothers be mothering” isn't just a catchy phrase—it's a holy calling. This message will stir your soul, call you higher, and leave you inspired to mother with renewed purpose. Whether you're in the midst of raising little ones, launching grown children, or seeking who God's called you to nurture next, this message is for you. Tune in and be reminded: God sees you, loves you, and has uniquely designed you to mother well—all the days of your life.

  Podcast Title: Follow Me Series: The Gospel of John | Shiloh Church Speaker: Pastor Lacey In this powerful message from John 21, delivered during a special ordination service at Shiloh Church, we're reminded of the simple yet weighty call of Jesus: “Follow Me.” Through Jesus' post-resurrection conversation with Peter, this talk explores three key truths every believer must grasp: Loving Jesus means caring for His people. Jesus has specific plans for each of us. There's no competition in the Kingdom of God. With heartfelt teaching, personal testimony, and Spirit-led insight, this message calls us back to a pure, focused walk with Jesus—free from comparison, full of surrender, and driven by love. No matter where you are on your journey, let this word inspire you to follow Him with fresh faith and wholehearted devotion.

This week we had the privledge of hearing from one of our Elders, Ken Schwendemann. His message is about expanding on our relationship with the Father and how that in turn will expand us.  Key Verses: Mark 12:29-31 John 6:5-10 Mark 12:41-44 Key Points:  Expanison is deeper connection to the Father What is God teaching us as we walk with him? Praying that your connection with the Father deepens as you walk with him and spend time with him this week. 

This week Pastor Lacey spoke on a new aspect of our word of the year expansion. Key verses:  Matthew 7:3-5. Matthew 23:25-28. Romans 8:37-39. Psalms 139:23-24. 2 Corinthians 4:13. Romans 10:9-10. Psalms 19:14. Praying that the Lord would expose the facade and show the stress points in the old mindsets that used to work that are now dead to you so that you may shrug off all that deadweight and expand your foundations in the kingdom.
