Do We Have An Enemy? - Asking For A Friend Week 12 by The Porch Community Church

This Isn't Therapy...this is an *encore* critical look at the argument that children need less therapy, not more, and how this "mental heath culture" is stripping parents of autonomy, ultimately causing more harm than good. In this episode, Jake and Simon dive into a review (written by Anna Nordberg for Slate) for a book by a right-leaning conspiracy theorist titled Bad Therapy. "In Bad Therapy, Shrier [the book's author] ladles heavy helpings of anecdote over some scientific research to argue that therapists, school counselors, and the language of therapy that has influenced parenting in the past decade or so are, in her view, harming kids." So, what really is harming the kids? Is it therapy or maybe, just maybe, it's something else...Source: Who's Making The Kids Cry by Anna Nordberg for SlateP.S.

Scripture: Eph. 4:30, 6:10-12, 1 Pet. 5:8-9, Eph. 6:13-18, John 16:33 Main Points: Dark Spirituality: There is an exponential increase in fascination with paranormal activity and dark spirituality. While this reveals that people are searching, it has implications for the Church. Vigilance: Christians do not need to fear the inevitable attacks of the enemy as long as we remain ready for attack through vigilance and spiritual preparation for war. Spiritual Obesity: The Church is stuffed to the brim with popular sermons and professional worship. It has depleted our need to live the Gospel and make that our worship. Unless we recognize the value of the Gospel and live our worship, we are not ready for Spiritual Attack.

Asking For A Friend – Why Church? Which Church? This week's Asking For A Friend question is two-fold: Why Church? and Which Church? Do we really need the church to follow Jesus, or can we do it on our own? And if we do need it, how do we know which church is right? Pastor Shannon Patterson walks through Scripture to reveal why the Church is God's divine plan for His people through Jesus Christ—and what kind of church helps you grow in love for Him. Learn how to: • Recognize what makes a church truly centered on Jesus • Understand the difference between essentials and non-essentials of faith • See your vital role within the body of Christ Whether you've been part of a church your whole life or are just beginning to explore faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to see the Church in a whole new way.

What do you do when the bills stack up and faith feels hard to hold onto? In week four of our series, Asking for a Friend, Pastor Gabe unpacks 2 Kings 4 and shows how God meets us in our financial stress with wisdom, provision, and hope.

This week in our Asking For A Friend series, we ask: Is there a seat for me at the Father's table? Through Luke 15, we explore Jesus' story of the prodigal son—mud, mess, repentance, and the Father who runs toward us with open arms. Repentance isn't about guilt or trying harder; it's about turning home to grace. No matter how stuck or broken you feel, there's a seat for you at God's table.

Asking for a Friend Who—or what—is the Holy Spirit? For many, the Father and the Son feel understandable, but the Spirit remains mysterious. Is He just a force? A ghostly presence? Or something more? In the finale of our Asking for a Friend series, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia explores one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity: the Holy Spirit. From creation to Pentecost to His ongoing work in our lives, the Spirit is not an “it”—He is God, personal and powerful. If you've ever wondered how the Spirit moves, speaks, or empowers believers, this message will open your eyes to God's presence and power within you. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

How is it possible to be surrounded by people and still feel completely unseen? In this Asking for a Friend message, Pastor Tim opens Job 19, Genesis 16, 2 Timothy 4, and the Gospels to show how Scripture meets us in our loneliness. From Job's cry to Hagar's encounter, and from Paul's cell to Jesus' cross, we discover that while people may walk out, the God who sees, the Lord who stands, and the Redeemer who lives will never abandon us.

Why Does God Allow Suffering - Asking For A Friend Night Edition by The Porch Community Church

Asking for a Friend In Part 3 of Asking for a Friend, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia dives into one of the most mysterious—and often misunderstood—topics in the Bible: the spiritual world. From angels and demons to spiritual warfare and unseen battles, Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal a reality that is both sobering and hope-filled. Whether you've had questions about guardian angels, demonic oppression, or why the Bible talks so much about spiritual battles, this message will help you see the unseen through the lens of God's Word.

Many of us wonder if faith can just stay between “me and God.” But as Pastor Shannon reminds us, the gospel has always been an invitation meant to be shared. Drawing from Jesus' parables and the account of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, we see that God's design is for our faith to transform not just us—but the people around us. Listen in as we talk about: Why faith can't remain hidden How invitations open the door to transformation The importance of bold witness in a world full of struggle and pain Whether you're exploring faith, recommitting, or simply wrestling with the question yourself, this conversation is for you.

When life feels heavy, sometimes the hardest battles aren't just around us but within us. In this Asking for a Friend message, Pastor Tim unpacks Psalm 42 to show how God meets us in our deepest wounds, whether from our own spiraling thoughts or the words of others, with hope, healing, and redemption through Jesus.

Matthew 18:21-22Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if my brother or sister sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy times seven. I loathe physical therapy. Thanks to having the back of someone 3x my age, I have been quite a few times in the last ten years. Everytime I go, I am paired with a guy about my same age but who is in impeccable physical condition, which already makes me feel worse. Then they put me through a circuit of ridiculous exercises, things with bands, an impossible balancing board, and stretches that make me feel like something could snap at any moment. Exasperated, after throwing a ball against the wall while balancing on one leg, I asked, ‘What in the world does this have to do with making my back feel better?!' My therapist said, ‘Your low back is weak. We can strengthen it some, but not much. Instead, if we focus on everything else around your low back, your hips, your core, your flexibility, then the pain will start to go away, but not entirely. You'll be able to function, just not fully; your discs are too damaged. So focusing solely on your low back will never bring the healing you want. You have to focus on everything else around it.”Now talking about my woes with physical therapy may seem like a non sequitur to the final question in our series: How do we hold on to our shared humanity in a divided world? But I promise it will come back around. So stay with me. One thing among many I have loved about this series, Asking for a Friend, is that all of the questions have been timely; relevant not just to our life together, but to much that is happening in the world around us. Today's question is one we all want an answer to. The questioner had more context: they said, “as we get more and more divided, it seems like faith communities are pushing further and further to the extremes. In doing so, we lose the ability to see our shared humanity. What do we do? How do we move forward”? Division and conflict have become a staple of American life. And that's not just an anecdote, though I am sure you have your own story. According to Pew Research Center, compared to similar nations,we Americans hold much deeper divisions within nearly every facet of society: politics, race, and even agreement on basic facts. Ironically enough, polarization is now a defining feature of these United States.Faith communities are no different, especially along partisan lines. These days it's more likely that the way someone votes determines what church they attend than their theological views. Which means, more churches are becoming homogenous in their political beliefs, more people are leaving churches from political partisanship, and there are fewer and fewer purple congregations. For the most part, churches are not sorting themselves, they are already sorted. And in just the past two weeks, headlines have piled up calling this moment an inflection point—a crisis. It sure feels like it. Unity? Seeing our shared humanity? It seems nearly impossible—for churches, for the nation, let alone the warring parts of the world. So what do we do? I think we, as a church, go about unity like physical therapy.It may sound counterintuitive, but if unity is the goal, don't focus on it. If we insist on “being united”, if we tell ourselves and others, “we are a united congregation,” we won't be—and everyone will end up disappointed, or worse.Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote, “He who is in love with his vision of community will destroy community. But he who loves the people around him will create community wherever he goes.” The same is true of unity. If we love the idea of unity more than the people in front of us, we'll never achieve it. This is exactly what allows a group like Zeitouna to exist. Zeitouna is a group of six Jewish and six Palestinian women who, despite deep divisions, have learned to see each other's shared humanity. For over twenty years, they have gathered in each others' homes every other week, sharing dinner, and engaging in intentional Dialogue. They listen not to formulate a response, but to understand the other's point of view. Their goal is not to come to an agreement. How could they? Instead, they work on creating shared understanding—by listening, speaking from their own experience, slowing down, and pausing more. They focused on so many other things, not just the issues. And only then were they able to see one another for what they truly are, human. Irene, a Jewish member, said, “My heart has been opened to those who scare me.” Wadad, a Palestinian member, said, “Through Zeitouna I've learned to hear the voice of the ‘other'—her pain and her joy—realizing it mirrors my own.” They never chased unity itself. They focused on other things, and unity formed along the way.Instead of chasing unity, let's focus on our shared humanity, on forgiveness, and on grace.Now, in the church we love to say that every person is made in the image of God. And that is true. But if we stop there, we can fool ourselves into thinking that image means we are inherently good, virtuous, capable. Scripture, and our experience, say otherwise. Paul reminds us that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The image of God in us is real, but like funhouse mirrors, it is fractured and distorted. So what do we share, really? We share our limits. We share our failures. We share our tendency to mess things up and let each other down. Our weakness, not our strength, is our common ground. And friends, that might sound like bad news, but it is actually quite the opposite. Because when you stop expecting other people to be more virtuous, more stable, or more capable than you are—you find yourself a little less disappointed. A little more patient. A little more compassionate. It frees us to meet one another not with unrealistic expectations but with grace. But that also means we will need to forgive, and to do so often. Like Peter, we ask “how often”? More than we want to, more than what seems right, honestly more than we think we can. Because it's not so much that someone will wrong you 490 times, but that it might take 490 attempts at forgiving one offense before we've really done it. All of that is hard. Which means, if we are going to see our shared humanity, forgive one another, and live as a functioning community, it will only be out of gratitude for the grace of Jesus, who has already done all of that for you and always will. When we dwell on the grace poured into our lives, it spills over—flowing from our hearts out into the world, giving others the mercy and love Jesus has already given us.Just like physical therapy, if unity is the goal, focusing on it will only lead to more pain, disappointment, and ultimately division. Because we will, and likely already have, let each other down. But I am asking you to stay. Stay even when there's disagreement, stay when feelings are hurt, stay when it feels easier to walk away. Because if we leave every time, we miss what Jesus is capable of through forgiveness and grace. So let's focus on those things now: on shared humanity, on forgiveness, on the grace already given to us. And then by the mercy of God and the work of the Spirit, unity will begin to take shape. It may not be perfect. The pain may not entirely go away. But we will be able to function. We will be able to live together as God's people. And we will have hope for the unity that is to come to all people, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Asking for a Friend Are miracles real—or just rare coincidences we exaggerate?  In Part 2 of Asking for a Friend, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia tackles one of the most fascinating questions people ask about faith: What do I believe about miracles? From Jesus raising the dead to modern-day claims of healing, this message explores what separates the improbable from the truly impossible—and why it matters for your life today. Don't settle for shallow answers or sensational claims—dig deep into what God says about the supernatural. If Jesus really performed miracles, then maybe we need to take His message seriously too.

We all face moments when life feels overwhelming and our mental and emotional health is under pressure. In this Asking for a Friend message, Pastor Gabe Turner looks at Elijah's struggle in 1 Kings 19 to show how God meets us in our valleys with rest, hope, and renewal.
