Wayfarers Christian Church is based in Memphis, TN. We are a church for a post-Christian culture hoping to educate listeners about Christianity that is probably different than what you grew up hearing. On Thursday at 6pm CST we drop new episodes on different ideas from the Bible, hoping to provide healthy conversations about faith and what that means for our lives.

In this months sermon we are looking at Galatians 4:1-11. We are asking ourselves how do we grow up from simplistic ways of following God.
This is the first in our new sermon series looking at the book of Galatians. Today we're looking at a difficult verse in Galatians 3:10 that talk about the curses in the Bible.
This sermon begins our series leading up to Easter. We're in the Psalms for this series and we begin with a question that often comes up when talking about the Psalms. What do we do about the violence that is portrayed in the Psalms?
This the third part of our series casting the vision for what Wayfarers is about. In this part we cover what we need from you to make this dream a reality.
Last week we talked about who we're trying to reach at Wayfarers. This week we're looking at the way we're going to do it.
Join us as we talk about why we started Wayfarers in the first place!
The way to make Joy "Complete" is to share life together with others.
Discover the way to peace by finding the fear that lies behind conflict.
Sorry for the audio quality this week. We're getting back to recording our sermons and posting them here. This episode kicks off our advent series with a sermon on hope.
Jacob Dooley brings a wonderful message about the way of Jesus. He touches on some of the parts in John's gospel that are integral to our faith, and discusses how our church Wayfarers got its name and how that means so much to us as Christians.
Join us for our last sermon in the book of Isaiah. This chapter is a highlight chapter for many in the Christian faith. It has been used to display the brokenness that Christ endured and how important that is for our salvation. Today, Noah calls us to a deeper truth hidden in this passage that Peter expounds on in his first epistle. It's a sermon that cuts deep into the Christian responsibility to suffer well.
Ashley Wakefield, one of our teachers here at Wayfarers, speaks about her own personal history with trauma and how it can be overcome and defeated. She delivers her insights into what Jesus has done in her own life and how her own struggles are no longer a weight in her own life.
This episode Noah speaks on the state of Christian art and media. He delves into the division between the abstract and the concrete and how great that divide has been in Christian circles, resulting in Christian art feeling hollow. Real, human concreteness in our storytelling is what is needed. Check out this episode and we hope it inspires you in your own art.

This episode Noah breaks down what it is like to have the emotion of fear work on the brain. Most emotions we often think of coming from the heart. But fear doesn't normally operate that way. Fear is instead mostly centered in the brain. Noah walks through a helpful example of how it works and offers some helpful tips to lessen it's effects on our lives. You can check out the blogpost in the link below. https://open.substack.com/pub/wayfarerscc/p/fear-an-attack-on-the-brain?r=12wz9a&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
This episode features one of our regular attendees at Wayfarers Christian Church, Mikey Bennett. Mikey is a current student at Mid-South Christian College, has preached several times at Christview Christian Church, and is fun and loving personality that adds so much to our congregation at Wayfarers. His love of anime and other tv shows is a bright spot in his life that brings smiles to all of us as well as some wisdom from many of the things he notices in media. This episode is no exception and we hope it brings you some insight into the world of film and television that can help you navigate one of the hardest sins to notice: pride. As always you can check out the blogpost at our substack here https://open.substack.com/pub/wayfarerscc/p/breaking-bad-walter-white-and-proverbs?r=12wz9a&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
This is a new series we are launching where we are posting many of the writings that our team at Wayfarers have written on our substack! You can listen to these on your way to work! Below is the link to our substack where new content will make it's way there before we get these episodes out to you on the podcast https://wayfarerscc.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=profile_page As always we thank you for your dedication and attention. We hope these episodes bring you more and more close to God and to the people around you.
This is our Easter Sunday week! Wayfarers celebrated Easter with a powerful message from Nick Griffin that walked through how to evangelize to others and what is missing from so much of our evangelism classes when it comes to the gospel message. He focused on three aspects of the gospel, it's beauty, it's goodness, and it's beauty. You don't want to miss out on this episode.
We asked Joseph Jenkins, our music minister at Wayfarers, to teach this month's lesson. Joseph compiled many different Bible verses, some in Genesis 1, Exodus 3, Isaiah 6, 1 Peter 1, Acts 2 and a few beside, to walk through the idea of God being both holy and generous. It's a great survey with a lot of scripture readings so get out your Bible and listen closely to this message.
Today we dive into a lesser known passage from the book of Isaiah. Chapter 18 dives into the sociopolitical landscape during ancient Israel's time by looking at the area of Cush and how it was seen as a point of hope for the people of Israel who hoped to form an alliance with Cush. Nick breaks down what this passage meant to him and how it can matter even today, in our current walk with God.
Jacob Dooley is back to preach, and this time he's preaching from the book of Isaiah, continuing our sermon series throughout this rich book. Jacob speaks to the current trauma our city has endured and how the Israelite's received this precious prophecy of Immanuel during a time when their allegiance to God was at an all time low, and evil was rampant and cried out for justice to be served. It's a powerful sermon for helping us uncover the hidden joy of God's grace.
This Sunday service we invited Dr. Greg Waddell, a professor of Mid-South Christian College and one of our members at Wayfarers, to begin our new year in the book of Isaiah. Dr. Greg spoke on Isaiah 6 and the calling that Isaiah experienced and how that can matter to our lives today.
Back in November, we hosted a spiritual formation night with one of our members, Dante Baker, leading the event. It was super well received, so much so that we were able to get a recording of it put together for anyone that wants to listen. As this is part of our spiritual formation night at our church, we usually don't record these because they require so much participation from the audience and we feel its best to be in the room and get to participate physically with us as a church for these nights. Even so, we are overjoyed this one has become so popular and we hope that even if you can't participate in the action steps Dante lays out, you can get a taste of the beautiful heart that Dante has for God.
Join us for our final week of Advent where Noah closes out the season with a look at how the love of God works in our lives.
Join us this week for our third week in our Advent sermon series where Jacob Dooley re-contextualizes the concept of joy for us by diving into the 1st century history of the Jewish people and how eagerly and hopefully they waited for the coming Messiah. Jacob focuses on the story of Mary and her receiving the news of great joy that she would bear the Messiah.
This week Noah works through the second week of Advent discussing the importance of peace and how much of a struggle that has been in the church of late. He lays out the Jewish idea of Shalom (the Hebrew word translated as peace), and teaches from John 16 on how Jesus taught his followers to rely on peace in the middle of conflict and unrest.
This is a break from our regular weekly rhythms to focus specifically on the season of Advent. Each week we will be exploring a tension in the story of the Bible that is both resolved in Jesus the Messiah while also continuing till his second coming. Today Nick Griffin preaches on the subject of hope, which is the first of the four candles lit. Strap in! Advent is not for the faint of heart. But it might just give you some hope in these trying times.
This sermon Nick preaches on the topic of God as fire within the Old and New Testament. In some ways this is a part two to his last sermon where he talked about God being light. Feel free to listen to that one in the archives and then give this one a listen as well!
This is a sermon Noah preached at Wayfarers a week prior to this recording. That sermon unfortunately was not recorded (Noah's fault lol). Thankfully, Noah was given the opportunity to preach the sermon a second time at Oak Lane Christian Church and that was recorded. Noah preaches on a hallmark passage of the nineties and early two thousands, from the famous "jars of clay" passage in 2 Corinthians 4. Noah condenses a lot of his recent study on the subject of resurrection into this sermon and provides a lot of key information about the life of Paul the Apostle. It's a wonderful exploration of how resurrection doesn't just have to be a future event we await after death, but can be something transformative in our lives today. You don't want to miss this powerful point and we hope it brings you closer in your walk with Jesus.
Nick Griffin is back! He walks through several passages from the writer John in both John and 1 John. Then he shows how light and darkness is a theme for honesty and how Christians should be more open about themselves.
