This will be a powerful time of breaking down the mysteriousness of the prophetic and being led by God's voice.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

Evangelism can sometimes be an intimidating word for people because it's often associated with a certain way that we think it needs to look like. However, the reality is that every person who has chosen to follow Christ has been called to spread His good news. In this message we're going to continue our WE ARE series, and specifically talk about evangelism, which is one of the five gifts that Jesus gave to us to walk in. As a context to those five gifts, we encourage you to listen to Pastor Ty's message from a couple of weeks ago titled, "The Gifts Of Jesus" to help gain a greater understanding of the purpose of these gifts.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

Ephesians 4 talks about the gifts of Jesus that He's given His followers.

We are called to be those who demonstrate the life and light of Christ to the world around us. In this message we will take a look at what it means for us to be the seeds of the Kingdom.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

So often, our Heavenly Father isn't mentioned much during the Christmas story. We obviously hear about the birth of Jesus, and the role of the Holy Spirit making Mary be with child. But we read in John 3:16, that it was the love of the Father that compelled Him to send His Son to bring redemption to you and I. In this message, we're going to talk about that miraculous love that He's given to each of us, and how much He desires us to know Him as a good and loving Father.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

Two thousand years ago, on a quiet night in a field in Israel, some shepherds were watching their flock, when all of a sudden angels appeared and declared that joy was coming to the earth. In this message, we're going to explore the joy that God has given us, not just when Jesus was born, but is continuing to release to us today. This is going to be a important reminder that we've been given a powerful gift that brings healing to our hearts, but also to the world around us.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

One of the most misunderstood aspects of God is the person of the Father. Sure, we may think we know our Heavenly Father, but for most of us, there can be a disconnect with who He is, and the love that He has for us. In this message, we're going to explore who the Father is and ask the Lord for a fresh revelation of His faithfulness, goodness, and kindness towards us. This is sure to be an impactful message and healing time for us all.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

For those that fear the Lord and walk in His covenant love, God has promised to cover them and rise over them with healing. This Sunday, we are going to explore the wings of the Almighty and what they represent and mean for us as sons and daughters of God.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

Last week, Pastor Ty described our lives like a hallway with a lot of doors in it, that represent the new seasons and new assignments the Lord has for us. Some of these new things can be as minor as an address change or a relationship dynamic with a friend, to major things such as an occupation change or getting married. Regardless of the door we're faced with, it's important that we're navigating that change in a way that will lead us to successfully enter into the new thing that God wants for us. In this message, we're going to discuss some principles in how to flourish as we go through the process of walking through doors.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

There's a desire in most of us to be in the will of the Lord. However, sometimes we can be doubtful whether we're being led by Him or by something else. Are we following His voice? Are we following our own desires? Is the enemy placing distractions in our lives to keep us off the path? In this message, we're going to explore the concept of following the direction of the Lord, and give some important keys that will help us have confidence that we're being led by Him. This will be a powerful message that will help in every season of life that we find ourselves in.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

As Christians we are to be those that stand out from the crowd. We are of a different spirit, the Holy Spirit. In this message, we will look at what it means to be set apart and devoted unto the Lord. In a culture that is desperately seeking hope, will we become the lighthouses of glory that reveal Jesus to the world around us? It's time for our hearts to burn brightly and wildly for Him.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

“We were the first to lightweight our bottles. So, if you think about a typical bottle of soda, it's about 27 grams of plastic. Our bottles, this year, I think they're coming in at 6.6 grams. So it's incredibly lightweight. I always say, you know, it's a Niagara bottle if it crinkles…We've created label-less bottles so they're easier to recycle. …And, we're now running lines that are in entirely recycled content. So we are very committed to creating bottles that that do not harm the planet, and also that allow for the most circular of products while we also think about what the bottle of the future might look like.” Ann Canela on Electric Ladies Podcast The International Bottled Water Association reported recently that 16.4 billion gallons of bottled water were sold in the United States in 2024.That's a 2.9% increase over 2023 – not to mention all the other bottled drinks we consume. Drinking water is good for you. But there's the plastic to deal with. What responsibility does the bottling company take for all that plastic and their role in society? Listen to Ann Canela, Head of Niagara Cares and Director of Corporate Giving at Niagara Water in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ●        How bottled water gets to your local market, ●        How Niagara Water dramatically reduced the plastic content of its bottles and is taking steps to improve recycling. ●        Where corporate philanthropy is focused at this tumultuous moment when so many government grants were abruptly cancelled. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   “I think the best thing you can do is define you first….what your values are at this time, and have been for probably since you were a child. And some definition to what your purpose is in the world….The second one I think is.…I would just encourage, especially midcareer women to think, ‘what if the things that were right for you, you knew they were right for you because they were easy, not hard?' Because they came to you in a way that felt aligned versus you're scrapping and fighting for them.…Hard work is a core of success, but it's not the only way to get there.…So what if we considered things that came to us and were at our feet as the right path for us to go down?” Ann Canela on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.   You'll also like: ·       Helping Communities Recycle More: Keefe Harrison, President of The Recycling Partnership ·       America Recycles Day: Emily Tipaldo, U.S. Plastics Pact ·       Solutions to Our Waste Problem: Melissa Modica, Waste Harmonics ·       Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Movies & Television Productions: Emellie O'Brien, President of Earth Angel – who is taking a lot more than plastic bottles out of movie productions. ·       Business Leaders Bridging The Gap – Women business leaders from The Earth Day Women's Summit on the unique role of business in addressing the climate crisis.   Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.   Thanks for subscribing on Apple Podcasts or iHeartRadio and leaving us a review!

Everywhere around us is full of noise and sights that are constantly barraging us to keep our thoughts off of what matters. In a world that's so hard to navigate the information that's all around us, how do we maintain a posture of keeping what we see and hear on the Lord and His truth? How do we protect our eye and ear gates from being hijacked by the enemy? In this message, we're going to talk about the importance of guarding our gates and making sure what we're seeing and hearing is actually the truth and not something masquerading as the truth.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

God has not called His children to be passive observers of the world around us. Instead, He's invited us to partner with Him to bring transformation to our families, work places, schools, and even geographical locations. In this message, we're going to explore this call to become reformers, and come to a greater understanding of what this can mean for our church body, but also for us individually.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed with the many things happening in the world around you and in your own life? Sometimes we get so overwhelmed and distracted that we can go a whole day without even thinking about God, let alone spending time with Him or sharing His heart with another. Some people go years without even thinking about all God has done. Something happens in our hearts when we begin to forget about God and stop rehearsing the things He's done. We can easily forget an answer to prayer or even healings and miracles that have happened to us. In this message we are going to go deep into God's heart for us and allow Him to recalibrate our mindsets when it comes to the testimony of His work in our lives.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

For most people, the resources that they've been given are typically used for themselves, and if there happens to be leftovers, they will consider giving it away to others in need. However, all throughout Biblical history, God has tried to instill into His people the concept of giving Him their first and their best. We may not sacrifice animals like the children of Israel did over 3,000 years ago, however we still have things the Lord has asked us to lay at His feet, whether it's our time, our finances, or even our efforts. In this message, we're going to explore the idea of not just giving away what's leftover, but giving our first and best.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

We can easily view the word discipleship as something that only applies to new believers. However, it's important to remember that we're all called to both be discipled, and disciple others, and it's also something that we should never stop doing. In this message, we're going to have a discussion on this important aspect of the Christian life that is sure to inspire us all to walk in discipleship in a greater way.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

Independent Bottling tends to have a sharp focus on Scotch whiskies, specifically single malt. There are a few notable bottlers that focus solely on American Spirits (Lost Lantern and Crowded Barrel come to mind here) but there's no independent bottler that focuses solely on World Wiskies. Well, not until now. Meet Pablo Goldbarg of Catador Itinerante, an independent bottler who does just that. He's also a long time friend of Joshua and Jason. Here's to a great conversation and a lot of laughs* *apologies to the Spanish speaking community for Joshua's terrible attempts at speaking your language. He will get a branch to the back! ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

In our desire to live a fulfilled life, we often get caught up in not only trying to control our environments, but we also forget to live a life that's surrendered to the leading of the Holy Spirit. What does it mean to give up control? And when we give up control, does God control us? In this message Pastor Ty & Daneen are going to continue on their thoughts from last week, and explore what it means to live a life of surrender and submission, and to co-labor with the Lord in all that we do.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

For most of history, mankind has been obsessed with controlling his environment. From useful things such as building shelters to protect himself from severe weather, to immoral actions like enslaving others to work for them, much of man's attention has gone into forcing things into their own control. So it's no surprise that man is still playing this control game, even in religion. So often we have the enticement to turn our faith into a formula to make us feel like we have some kind of control over our future. However, God has not called us into a spiritual exercise that we can control, but into a relationship that we submit to. In this message we're going to explore this tendency to control things and see how we have even incorporated this into how we view our relationship with God.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org
