A week is made up of 10,080 minutes. We spend around 80 of those minutes focused on faith each Sunday. But what about the other 10,000? That's what this podcast is all about! Bring God into your 10,000 each week.

Thanks for listening and we hope it helps you bring God more into your 10,000 minutes this next week.

It might be something that a lot of us don't want to talk or think about, but Jesus actually talked about it a lot. In this episode, Pastors Sawyer and Matt answer two important questions about hell: Did Jesus actually descend there? What should I tell someone who struggles to believe in hell?

Whether we have been following Jesus a short time or our whole lives, all of us can fall into being self-righteous and judgemental like the older brother in the parable of the Prodigal Son.

Listen in as they share these questions and discuss how we all can become more loving, more forgiving, and more like Jesus.
We can all acknowledge that the Church has made some mistakes, but are we as Christians called to apologize on behalf of the Church? Pastors Matt and Sawyer seek to answer this important question as well as the implications that it has on theology, relationships and evangelism. We hope that it encourages you to engage in the lives of others and help bring God more into your 10,000 this week and beyond.
For many of us, it is a challenge to see follow Jesus and his ways as true freedom, despite what the Bible says. In this episode, Pastors Matt and Sawyer explain something that often gets in the way: the differences between biblical commands, personal convictions, and individual choices. They explain each area and how to determine which is which to show that we really do have much more freedom than we think in following Jesus. We hope this episode allows you to bring God more into your 10,000 and find the true freedom found in Jesus.
Following up from this past Sunday's message, Pastors Matt and Sawyer dive into the important implications of God's grace.

Is there a sin that is unforgivable? In our passage for this past Sunday, Jesus seems to suggest that "anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven." Does this mean that some people will not be forgiven by God? Is His grace not really available for all or at least all who believe? Join Pastors Sawyer and Matt as they dive into these important questions and come to a motivational and significant answer.
If we are being honest, many of us are often unhelpful in the ways that try to help others follow Jesus. We hold others to high standards, that we don't help them follow. We speak the truth without backing it up with action and don't put in the hard work to walk alongside people in their real lives. In this episode, Pastors Sawyer and Matt talk about how we can actually be helpful to others and make a kingdom impact in the lives of the people that we care about most. It may not be easy, helping people out of the deepest holes in their lives, but if we have made our way out, then it is our duty to help others do the same.

E pluribus unum. Latin for “out of many one," it is the unofficial motto of the United States. It is on our money and monuments. A lasting reminder of many races, cultures, peoples, languages that make up our nation. But our country right now is anything but one...

Although more of theological discussion, the conclusion of the episode is very practical and will encourage you to live out your faith and show your fruit.

Talking through a range of topics, this podcast deals with change, innovation, still being on mission, helping others, worry and anxiety, as well as huge thank you to healthcare and mental health workers and professionals. We know that times are crazy but we can still bring God into our 10,000 minutes and dive deeper in our faith even now.
John the Baptist, doubts, miracles and the Kingdom. In this episode, Matt and Sawyer cover many different topics in response to last Sunday's message. We encourage you to dive deeper with us as we look at the life of John the Baptist and how his life reflects many of our own. Many of have gone through seasons or our currently praying for a miracle, how we respond and still have faith when you don't get your miracle?
If you are a follower of Jesus, then you most likely wish you had more faith. It is something we all want, but it seems quite difficult to achieve. In this episode, Matt asks Sawyer questions about his sermon from this past Sunday about how we can have "great faith." As we dive deeper, we hope this episode encourages you in your faith and allows you to stop trying harder and just trust more in our God!
It is a phrase we hear a lot now-a-days, "Don't judge me!" And as followers of Jesus, we hear a lot of different messages when it comes to judging other people and helping them to evaluate their lives. In this episode, Matt and Sawyer dive deeper into Luke 6:37-42, looking at what Jesus really had to say about judging others and how we can actually show the love of Jesus when we are trying to help others become more like Jesus.
Jesus did not just start a religion, he kicked off a revolution and a brand new way of living. This week Sawyer and Matt dive deeper into how to live in the upside-down kingdom of God. How can we as followers of Jesus seek to elevate others instead of focusing on ourselves and our own lives? We encourage you to listen in and see how you can grow closer to God and spread his kingdom in your community.
