Asking for a Friend – Week 3 How do I grow as a follower of Christ? This week, Pastor Shannon tackles one of the most common questions Christians ask: What does it really mean to grow as a disciple? Through John 16, Acts 2, and Galatians 5, we see that growth doesn't happen by trying harder—it happens by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual growth comes when we prayerfully expect the Spirit to move in every part of our lives. We also introduce 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, an opportunity for our church family to create space for God to work in powerful ways.

Episode 232 The 167 Podcast - Objections & Questions to “Baptism” by The Porch Community Church

Asking For a Friend: Is Baptism Important? We all have those moments in life that change everything—graduation, a wedding day, a big promotion. For followers of Jesus, one of those defining moments is baptism. But what exactly is baptism? Is it just a ritual? A church tradition? Or is it something much deeper? In this message from our Asking For a Friend series, Pastor Shannon unpacks what Scripture teaches about baptism—why it matters, what it means, and why it's the next step for anyone who has said “yes” to Jesus.

Stinkin' Thinkin' Week 5 by The Porch Community Church

In Week 4 of our Stinkin' Thinkin' series, we dive into one of the most dangerous mindsets that can derail our spiritual lives: Entitlement – the belief that we inherently deserve privileges or special treatment. We explore how entitlement distorts our perspective, blurs the line between rights and privileges, and ultimately pulls us away from a Christ-centered mindset. Through scripture, history (like Napoleon Bonaparte's legacy), and real-life examples, we're challenged to trade pride for humility and adopt the mind of Christ.

Episode 220 The 167 Podcast - Lent - Apathy A Spiritual Wake-Up Call by The Porch Community Church

In this week's message, we tackle the subtle yet toxic mindset of apathy, exploring its dangers and how it can quietly lead us away from a passionate faith. ​ Drawing from Revelation 3, we learn about the church in Laodicea, which Jesus rebukes for being lukewarm and indifferent. ​ Apathy is described as a slow-growing cancer of the soul, numbing us to the point of spiritual detachment. ​ But there's hope—Jesus calls us to wake up, shake off the numbness, and reignite our passion for Him. ​ Join us as we confront apathy, seek to rekindle our spiritual fire, and embrace a life full of purpose and urgency. ​ Don't miss our practical steps and prayers to help you move from "meh" to fully alive in Christ. ​

In this podcast episode, we explore the season of Lent, a time for reflection, repentance, and preparation, inspired by Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness.​ Lent invites us to intentionally step into the wilderness, giving up comforts and facing our tendency to blame others. ​ We offer practical steps to shift from blame to responsibility, preparing our hearts for Easter and practicing grace. ​ Join us as we reflect on becoming more like Jesus through this transformative season.
