Wake Before the Day

Join Pastor Klarc and BobbieJean as they kickoff season 3! 1 Peter 4 gives us a beautiful yet challenging reminder that trials and hardships are to be expected when following Jesus. The word to the church in Rome is a relevant word for us today.

Join Klarc and Bobbie for a conversation on summer plans, unity in the church and God living in the believer!

Unpack Ruth 4 and understand the beauty of Old Testament law, the kinsmen-redeemer and the crazy sandal slapping!

Join Pastor Klarc and Bobbie for a few podcasts on the book of Ruth. While it may be small and short it's impact on our understanding of God's grace and the coming of Jesus is great!

Even in the midst of our craziest and most unexpected circumstances trust that God is at work. Join Pastor Klarc and Michael Lewis as they discuss the final chapter of Acts.

Whether it's planned and convenient or unplanned and inconvenient we need to be ready to share the Gospel and our story! Pastor Klarc, Bobbie and their children will share about how God's Word has been encouraging them and how other's at the church are living this chapter out as well.

Join Pastor Klarc and Bobbie as they discuss the chaos of Acts 23, the "Bible Letter Name Game" and more!

Join Pastor Klarc & Mariano as they discuss a the call to focus and determination for believers today that is seen in the Apostle Paul.

When Paul was ready to throw in the towel God said "No sir!". There were many people appointed by God in Corinth who's hearts were ready to respond to the Gospel. These people would not only change Corinth but would also God and lead the church of Rome.

Join Pastor Klarc and Bobbie as they discuss Acts 16 and the importance of being a bridge, recognizing "closed doors" as God guiding and God's work in changing the heart of people!

Pastor Klarc and Joaquin Hurtado catch up and talk many things including Orlando Bloom, Acts 14 and the importance of not only having our minds convinced of "truth" but our hearts being captivated by God.

In Acts 12 we read about the church praying powerful prayers yet being in disbelief when the prayers were answered! The Bible also compares and contrasts Herod and the apostles when it comes to receiving praise. Let's dive in and learn from Acts 12.

Don't count out anyone for being outside the reach of God's love! We all have "those people" in our life. God loves them, we should too! Acts 10 is one of the most important chapters in the New Testament as it marks the first time Jews and Gentiles got together for worship.

Pastor Klarc and Rachel Thomas breakdown Acts 7 and discuss the beauty and necessity of grace and truth and standing for what is right even when it is difficult!

We don't know how you can read Acts 4 and not leave feeling energized and ready to rock n' roll for Jesus. Acts 4 reminds us that Holy Spirit uses 'unschooled' and 'ordinary' people in powerful ways, all in the name of Jesus!

Pentecost is 50 days from Easter and a day we celebrate that God makes his home in the heart of the believer! Acts 2 forever changed the trajectory of the Christian Church and the way in which God would bless the world.

Michael Lewis joins Pastor Klarc to discuss the resurrection, the old testament prophecies fulfilled in the resurrection and also what to do with verses not included in other translations.

The Bible makes it clear we are in the middle of a spiritual war. Jesus' teaching on the end times remind us that in the midst of war, wild apocalyptic signs our focus should remind on him.

Klarc and BobbieJean discuss following Jesus in the mundane moments of life and also emphasize Jesus' teaching on the fig tree. Our prayer should be that our love for Jesus should be expressed in the way we live our lives.

Cathy Lewis joins Pastor Klarc in the studio today to discuss the transfiguration, redefining greatness and God's love for children!

Jesus didn't let rejection stop him and it shouldn't stop you from doing the work of the Lord either! We'll also discuss the rhythm of Jesus' life as he balanced ministry and rest.

Episode #84 unpacks Mark 4 and discusses the work of God, the response of people and why it's important that there are no "sneaky christians"!

Join Pastor Klarc and Nyajaha as they talk about music, people watching and Mark 2!

Genesis 49 is one of the most pivotal passages in the entire book! It sets the trajectory for the rest of the Biblical story and again foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ through the messiness of Judah's family line.

Let's celebrate the happy reunion between Joseph and his father. Let's also celebrate the many ways this story reveals the overall redemptive plan of God and points us to Jesus Christ!

Join Pastor Klarc and Pastor Mike for a conversation on Genesis 45. Remember, God is always working in, through and around our circumstances!

Unconfessed sin often leads to paranoia and a fear of "getting caught". In Genesis 42 we read about Joseph's brothers reluctantly going to Egypt (they knew that's where Joseph was sent years earlier) in search of food. Watch an amazing story of God's faithfulness begin to unfold!

Genesis 40 is a key chapter because we see a shift in Joseph. Up until this point it seemed like everything was about him. Favorite son. Favorite son from the favorite wife. Special coat. Special dreams. But here we read about Joseph turning the attention to God and acknowledging he is part of something bigger than himself!

The story of Judah and Tamar seems randomly inserted into Joseph's story but God placed it there with great intentionality! We have much to learn from this complex chapter, join Pastor Klarc and Jody as they breakdown Genesis 38.

Jacob's family experienced a crisis in Genesis 34! What do we make out of this difficult chapter? What do we learn about people and about God? Join Pastor Klarc and Pastor Jonhy as they discuss the pain and consequences of sin in this chapter.

God often uses tough situations to remove vain human efforts to bring us back to himself. In Genesis 32 we not only see Jacob pursuing blessing but more importantly God pursuing Jacob.

Join Pastor Klarc and Pastor Jonhy as they discuss Genesis 30. In this podcast they will address the danger of favoritism, generational sin, God's desire to bless and God loving the unloveable.

In Genesis 27 we read of a prophecy fulfilled! I often wonder, why didn't Isaac retract his blessing when he realized he was tricked by Jacob? Let's discuss!

A prophetic word fulfilled! More family division, who would have guessed?! As Abraham's time ends we get a brief glance into the life of Isaac and the plot twist with the birth of his sons Jacob and Esau.

Join Pastor Klarc and Rich Rideout as they discuss Genesis 23 and how Abraham finally, and in unexpected fashion, acquired a portion of the promised land.

The danger of habitual sin! Remember, nothing can put us outside the reach of God's love and redemption. At the same time, there are consequences to every decision we make. Let's learn from Genesis 20.

Join Klarc and Jody as they dig deep into Genesis 18. Remember God's supernatural work and timeline are often different from our own. Position yourself in a place where you can join God in his work and be blessed.

In Genesis 16 we see jealousy and a lack of faith cause division in the family. While Abram and Sarai saw a young woman as a tool to be used God saw her as a daughter and blessed her in the midst of her pain.

In episode #67 we'll discuss the importance of prioritizing relationships over stuff. Even when our material possessions fade away God's presence and promises are still here for you. Let's talk about Genesis 13!

Genesis 11 is a foundational chapter in the Bible because this is when humanity structurally and organizationally sets itself up against God. From Babel comes the wicked empires of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon etc. Yet even in the midst of humanity's evil Genesis 11 ends with God's grace and faithfulness coming to a pagan named Abram.

In the aftermath of the flood, God began to rebuild and repopulate the earth. When left up to their own choice humanity takes whereas God is a God of life and generosity.

Genesis 6 brings up many legitimate questions: Who are the Nephilim? Can God change his mind? Is God really loving after bringing about the flood? So many question, let's dive in!

Genesis 4 is the first chapter post-fall. How are things going now that humans are on their own calling their own shots? Not well! Murder, envy, polygamy - an absolute train wreck! But despite humanity's brokenness the chapter ends with a hint of God's faithfulness.

Genesis 2 zooms in on the intimate relationship God has with his people. God "commanded" and spoke creation into being whereas God "made" Adam and Eve. Catch the difference?

In episode #61 we discuss Ephesians 5 and the beauty of marriage. Today people might thumb their noses at the word "submit" but when you read the Bible you see that this is exactly what Jesus did and calls us to do. When both the husband and wife do this it is nothing but a gift!

The mystery of God revealed! One of the main themes in Ephesians is that God has revealed himself to us in Jesus Christ - the savior people had waited ages for! Not only that, he's revealed his will for us and his game plan for making himself known to the world.

We're excited to jump into a new book of the Bible, join us for a brief discussion regarding Ephesians 1! This chapter calls us to remember the cosmic love of God, the pleasure and joy he had making you and the power that Christ has as he is above every other ruler and authority.

We've arrived at our last podcast in the book of Romans! Paul wraps up his train of thought reminding us that our goal is to glorify God and help those around us become like Jesus as well. Be aware of what helps and hinders people on their spiritual journey!

Romans 12 is a call to give every part of your self to God - as an act of worship and for his glory! Paul uses "you" and "your bodies" interchangeably which reminds us that what we do with our bodies matters!

In episode #56 we breakdown Romans 10 and discuss the danger of moral relativity, the beauty of Christ fulfilling the law and the need for us to share the Gospel!

Join us as we briefly discuss Romans 7 and then dive deeper for a better understanding of the Bible, God and the transgender community.
