The Church at Carter's Orchard Podcast

In this message from Hebrews 12:1–2, we're reminded that following Jesus isn't the finish line—it's the starting line. As we run the race set before us, we're called to lay aside what holds us back, endure through challenges, and keep our eyes fixed on Christ. Be encouraged to prepare your heart and run with purpose, trusting Him every step of the way.

This Easter, we celebrate the truth that changed everything—the tomb is empty. In this message, we walk through the heart of the gospel: that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again in victory over death. Be reminded of the hope, forgiveness, and new life found in Christ, and the invitation to believe and follow Him.

In this message from Psalm 23:5–6, we see what comes after the valley—God's provision, peace, and abundant blessing. Even in the presence of our enemies, He prepares a table for us and reminds us that His goodness and mercy follow us every day. Be encouraged to keep following the Good Shepherd and trust that He is leading you from the valley into His abundance.

In this message from Psalm 23:4, we take a closer look at what it means to walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Even in life's darkest moments, we're reminded that our Good Shepherd is with us—guiding, protecting, and comforting every step of the way. Be encouraged to trust His presence and follow Him through the valley.

Life brings spiritual highs and difficult valleys—but we weren't meant to live at either extreme. In this message from Psalm 23, we're reminded that the Lord is our Good Shepherd—our provider, protector, and guide. Instead of running ahead in pride or falling behind in discouragement, we're invited to stay close to Him and trust His faithful care.

Why do we sometimes resist the very grace we need? In this message from John 13, we watch Peter wrestle with Jesus' act of humble love and are reminded that we must first receive Christ's cleansing grace before we can extend it to others. Discover how true joy and blessing are found not in being served, but in serving.

What does real, Christlike love actually look like in everyday life? In this message, we turn to John 13 and watch Jesus model humble, sacrificial love by washing His disciples' feet—even the one who would betray Him. Be encouraged and challenged to move beyond words and demonstrate God's love through intentional, selfless service to the people around you.

What does it really mean to pray the way Jesus taught us to pray? In this message, we walk through the Lord's Prayer and discover a powerful pattern for intercession. Learn how putting the Father first shapes the way we pray for our needs, our struggles, and our daily lives—and how prayer aligns us with God's kingdom, power, and glory.
