Welcome to the last episode of the series on 1 and 2 Peter - 2 Peter chapter 3.  Chad teaches episode 8 of 8 where he wraps all of this up in a bow for you. Thanks for joining in through the series.

Hey guys, it's a new week and a new opportunity to learn something new! We're coming down to the end of this series. I want to go ahead and give you a head's up on some content coming down the pipeline with Full Count before we get started here. We have the WE ARE study that will be available on the app in August, particularly for our annual fall league, but it'll be available for you too! — which takes us through the gospel simply and gives our guys the opportunity to take an identity as a christ-following baseball player. So — be on the lookout for that. Hope you're finishing strong in the 1 and 2 Peter Book Study with us. Invite some guys to go through WE ARE this fall for 6 weeks. Then , I think we have plans to go through our ZEAL study after that — but we will let you know!

Alright! Let's get into 2 Peter 1! Chad Hutton is jumping over to the second letter penned by Peter. This is the 6th episode of the 8 week series on 1 and 2 Peter. Keep it up and encourage someone by sharing what you've learned! We need to pass this stuff along and help someone in their walk with Jesus.

This is the last episode of 1 Peter and next week, we'll be jumping into 2 Peter. I hope you've tuned in every week because it's been an eye-opening experience.  Chad Hutton is teaching us chapter by chapter through the series. He is a pastor and professor. He's doing a fantastic job teaching us and we're very thankful for his insight into the scripture. 

Welcome to the 4th episode of an 8 week series on 1 and 2 Peter. Chad Hutton, the pastor of City fo Refuge Church, has a passionate message today, so open your heart and mind to this scripture and teaching on the Training for an Eternal Crown Podcast! 

Let's dive into 1 Peter 3! We've invited Chad Hutton, pastor of City of Refuge Church, to take us through 1st and 2nd  Peter. This is the third episode of this 8 week series on 1 and 2 Peter. We encourage you to go listen to the first two episodes if you haven't already. This is supplemental material to the book study we are going through, so we encourage you to pick that up on our website or in the app. 

Let's dive into 1 Peter 2! This is the second episode of the podcast series where we are going a chapter a week through 8 weeks of study through 1 and 2 Peter. Check out the first episode first (the one before this one) before diving in here. Hope you enjoy!

We're back!! After a few week break following the Luke Journal, we're getting back at it.  We're so excited to have this content available for you as we go through 1 & 2 Peter this summer as a ministry. Chad Hutton takes on 1 Peter 1 - the first of an 8 week study and podcast series. These podcast episodes are supplemental to the resource that you can order through our website or can view through our app. That resource is a 56 day study through 1 & 2 Peter. Grab a copy for your friends and team. Let's do it!

In this episode, Chad wraps up our awesome 14 week study in Luke.  We hope you find this last episode encouraging and compelling to join more into what God is doing! He is risen!

Carter here, and we are in week 13 of the Luke Journal. Let's look at the last few days of Jesus's ministry before he lays his life down at the cross and the highlight titled "Our Substitute".

We’ve only got 3 weeks of reading to go in the Luke Journal. Wow. I can’t believe it! Carter here, and Luke has been eye opening – to me at least. This week, we’re jumping into week 12 of the journal and looking at daily readings covering Luke 20 verse 9 through 22:6.  And we are going to jump into the “End Times” highlight a little bit. Let’s dive in!

Carter here -- we are moving into week 11 of the Luke Journal! We came off last week talking about Christ's second coming and God's love in judgement, but we are moving forward into mostly what he expects out of us in this weeks readings. We also will dive into the story of the Rich Young Ruler in the highlight. Let's dive in!

Carter here this week. The Pharisees were all over Jesus' ministry - why was he doing that? ... eating with tax collectors and sinners? How does Jesus view us? Let's also look at the highlight titled "The Chasm," which isn't really an easy parable to talk about, but let's not shy away from Jesus' teachings!

So glad you're stopping in to hear the podcast! We’re in week 9 of the Luke Journal! Carter here. Let's talk about the kingdom, Jesus inviting us to the table, and how we must count the cost before we enter into work for Christ! Also, I have a story for you... and a challenge.

This episode is going live a little early! We are 8 wonderful weeks through the Luke Journal, and Chad has joined us again this week to share some great content with us. What can we look out for this week, and what is the context behind Jesus' teaching about not worrying? Let's dive in!

It's Carter with you this week as we dig into Week 7 of the Luke Journal. Jesus makes references to Old Testament ideas and stories in these couple chapters -- Luke 10 and 11 -- so it would be good to do a little more studying if your guys are reading along in the daily readings to illuminate scripture for them. But our highlight is on prayer this week, so don't miss out on taking a lot of time to pray with your DGroups! You'll be missing out if you don't pray with them about their struggles, ball teams, school, and life -- but I hope you spend time just lifting up our Creator in praise. He deserves it! // Video Link: https://youtu.be/L8edfTKgSxU

Hey, guys! Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening to you – I don’t know when you’re choosing to tune into this episode – but I’m glad you are! Glad we have a podcast so we can tune in at our own leisure and still try to be on the same page every week. This is Week 6 of the Luke Journal, and we are in chapter nine of the Gospel of Luke. Carter here, and I’m thankful to have Kevin Pomeroy today with us – a baseball ministry partner and friend of mine. Jesus is walking with his disciples, and we’ll see that he gives them more responsibility at the beginning of this week’s readings. Then, in the highlight – let’s discuss what “Denying youself” actually means. Let’s dive in!

It’s a beautiful day, folks! Carter here with you, and I’m glad you’re back! Or maybe you’re new to the podcast –- welcome!! I’ve got special guest Evan Jones with me – a volunteer, baseball player & enthusiast, and lover of God’s word with me today. On the day of the release of this episode, we are heading into week 5! We are getting a deeper and deeper picture of who Jesus is – and he is looking for those who have faith in him. Our highlight for this week is titled “The Storm” – which, the story we are going to talk about this week -- you are probably familiar with. Through that highlight, Evan is going to share a particularly tough time in his life pertaining to his baseball career and pose a challenge. Lets dive in!

Men, it’s a wonderful week to dig into scripture! Carter here. I’m thankful for this ministry so that like-minded guys can study scripture together, learn from each other, and encourage each other on and off the field. This week, as we look into Week 4 of the Luke Journal, we have long-time volunteer Reed Glover with us. Jesus continues his ministry, starting with the Daily readings in Luke chapter 5, and we look deeper into what Christ means about bearing good and bad fruit in the world. Let’s dive in!

We’re moving along in Luke, aren’t we? We have the pleasure of getting one of our volunteers on the podcast. Trevis Smith is with us to talk about week 3 of the Luke Journal. Jesus is getting deeper into his ministry in this week’s readings. As we’ve discovered in the first week’s episode on the Gospel of Luke is that Luke, the writer, was a doctor – and Luke makes a specific reference to Jesus talking about how He is in fact a doctor. What is he talking about? Let’s dive in!

This week Tanner Sandel has stopped in to help you and me talk though how we can approach and get excited about talking though this week’s scripture in your DGroups. So thankful to have him on. We’ve got the highlight titled “Temptation”, and Tanner has some insight on the daily readings as well. We talk about the early life of Christ and the start of his ministry. Let’s go!
