"Wounds To Scars, Part 5: Peter;" John 13:33-38, 18:15-27, 21:15-17

We all want to know where we belong, but whose family resemblance do our daily lives actually show? Today Pastor Alan and Ed Upton dive into 1 John 3 for a spiritual paternity test to see if we are living for ourselves like Cain, or laying down our lives for others like Christ.

What are your first-time guests talking about on the drive home? Pastor Victor Ehiemere says his entire goal is to "hijack the conversation on the way home," and it's one of the biggest reasons The Well Church has grown so fast.In this episode of the Build the Church Podcast, host Josh Roberie sits down with Pastor Victor Ehiemere, a trained medical doctor turned church planter who leads The Well Church in Maryland. Since launching in 2022 with around 470 people, The Well has grown to 1,300 to 1,400 every weekend, with 2,800 this past Easter, largely because they've become experts at connecting first-time guests and helping them take a next step.At the center of it all is a simple, fun idea Victor calls "Party With the Pastor." If you've ever struggled to move people from the crowd into your Growth Track, next-steps class, or small groups, this conversation will give you a practical, repeatable strategy you can start using right away.In this episode, you'll learn: How to "hijack the conversation" so guests talk about your church all the way home What a "Party With the Pastor" is, and the exact 15-minute (5-5-5) formula that makes it work Why Victor tells his church, "We're here more for the first-time guests than we are for you" How to naturally feed your Growth Track every single month without begging people to sign up The in-person and online "feeder" systems that get guests to the party (cards, texts, personalized videos) Why "nothing makes a person stick to a church more than finding a friend" How a doctor from Nigeria ended up planting one of the fastest-growing churches aroundThis is a masterclass in church connection, guest follow-up, and assimilation for pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders who want people to move from attending to belonging.About our guest: Pastor Victor Ehiemere is the lead pastor of The Well Church in Maryland, which he planted with his wife, Pastor Amby. He's a trained medical doctor, a communicator, and the creator of resources to help people take their next step of faith.

Why do so many Christians long for community but never seem to find it?In this conversation, Parker, Jessi, and Shane unpack one of the biggest misconceptions about Christian community. They discuss why meaningful relationships don't happen by accident, why discomfort is often necessary for growth, and how becoming the kind of friend you're looking for changes everything.Along the way, they also dive into church culture, dating, purpose, men and women in ministry, and the story behind Salt Church.In this episode:• How Salt Church started• Why community requires discomfort• Men, women, marriage, and ministry• What makes kinship groups different• Why men need purpose• Dating advice for Christian men• How to build real friendships in churchIf you're new to Salt Church, curious about our culture, or hungry for real Christian community, this conversation is for you.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker / https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Instagram Jessi /https://www.instagram.com/jessi.green/Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch #revival #parkergreen #jessigreen

Rev. April Blair Spears, -  "You Are Not Alone;" Luke 4:18

Dave and Matt chat about Sunday' sermon.

Who's the greatest? It's a question we ask about quarterbacks, pitchers, and point guards—but Jesus' disciples asked it about the Kingdom of Heaven, and His answer flipped their entire framework upside down.In this message from Matthew 18:1-6, guest speaker Jeff Stemple unpacks what happens when the disciples' quiet argument about status and rank finally bursts into the open, and Jesus responds not with a ranking, but with a child standing in the middle of the room. Jeff explores how greatness in God's Kingdom isn't measured by achievement, platform, or comparison, but through humble, childlike dependence on God.Along the way, Jeff digs into what it means to humble yourself before you're humbled, how what we value reveals what we actually believe, and why welcoming and protecting children reflects the very heart of Jesus. Whether you're wrestling with insecurity, control, or the constant pull to measure up, this message points to a different scoreboard altogether—one built on trust, not status.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

"Grandma is on TikTok." And according to Pastor Chris Moore, she might just be the cheapest person your church can reach online.Most churches are completely ignoring TikTok, and according to Pastor Chris Moore, that's exactly why it's one of the cheapest and most fruitful places to reach new people right now.In this episode of the Build the Church Podcast, host Josh Roberie sits down with Chris Moore, ARC church planter, lead pastor of Valley Church in Phoenix, Arizona, and founder of Good and Faithful Studio. Chris pulls back the curtain on the TikTok ad strategies he's used to help churches reach their communities for a fraction of what they're spending on Facebook and Instagram, plus a few "gatekeeping secrets" he's never shared publicly before.If you're a pastor or ministry leader who feels behind on social media, this conversation will give you practical, doable next steps to get the word out about your church.In this episode, you'll learn: Why the cheapest audience to reach on TikTok is actually 50+ (yes, grandma is on TikTok) How Chris's TikTok ads performed 3x better than Meta, with "plan your visit" costs as low as $7 to $11 What makes a scroll-stopping church ad (and why over-producing it can hurt you) The simple daily ad budget sweet spot for the best return on investment Whether your church needs its own TikTok account or can just run ads Why a pastor's personal account often out-performs the church's account The Facebook group strategy Chris used to build an audience of 25,000+ people in his city Chris's wild journey from youth pastor, to selling bulldogs online, to digital marketingAbout our guest: Pastor Chris Moore is the lead pastor of Valley Church in Phoenix, AZ, and the founder of Good and Faithful Studio, a creative agency providing done-for-you social media, photo, and video for churches.

In Matthew 17, Pastor Karl traces three big ideas through one of the most pivotal chapters in the Gospel of Matthew — from the Transfiguration to a failed exorcism to a coin found in a fish's mouth.Kingdom authority resides only in the King. God must first overpower us before He can empower us — and faith that shifts from dependence on Christ to confidence in our own ability is twisted faith that accomplishes nothing.Kingdom presence comes only through the cross. Following Jesus isn't adding Him to your plans. It's submitting every plan, comfort, and priority to His lordship. The cross isn't a decoration; it's a direction.Kingdom freedom isn't selfish — it's generous. When Jesus pays a tax He owes nothing on, He paints a vivid picture of the gospel itself: Peter had a debt he couldn't pay, and Jesus — under no obligation — paid it anyway. Just as He does with our sin.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

This weeks episode Pastor Alan, Pastor Ed Upton and Mark Herzlich discuss 1 John 2:18-27. In a world full of voices promising deeper truth, this week we explore how easily we can drift from what we once knew was true.

"Wounds to Scars, Part 1: Joseph;" Genesis 37:23-27, 45:1-5

Send us Fan MailTreatment Website:https://ambio.life/Documentary: https://www.inwavesandwarfilm.com/A lot of people talk about PTSD like it's only flashbacks and bad dreams. Bill describes something darker and quieter: sitting in church, worshiping, and still getting hit with suicidal ideation so loud it feels like a command. He's a professional counselor who works mostly with veterans, and he's also a pastor, which makes his story even harder to ignore. He knows the clinical language, the coping patterns, and the church expectations and he admits what it's like to keep it together at work while falling apart at home. The conversation turns when Bill sees a friend return from Mexico after a medically supervised psychedelic-assisted treatment for PTSD and substance use. That friend looks different: sober, steadier, and more alive. Bill takes us through the questions Christians ask about mind-altering substances, the scriptures he wrestles with, and why “controlled treatment” isn't the same thing as self-medicating. He also talks about spiritual preparation, prayer, and staying grounded in faith inside a space that often mixes New Age ceremony, breathwork, and alternative healing language. From screening, EKGs, and medication restrictions to sweat lodges, ibogaine, and 5-MeO-DMT, Bill breaks down what the process actually looks like and what it cost him emotionally. He shares the trauma that surfaced, the way control kept showing up as the real battle, and the moment he felt God push him to stop hiding who he is. On the other side, he reports concrete changes: no suicidal ideation, better sleep, fewer intrusive images, less anger, and a renewed daily routine that protects his marriage and his mind. If this story challenges you, share it with someone who needs hope, and check the links in the description for the resources we mention.

Going through trouble and traumatic events is a part of fulfilling the call of God on our lives.

So come out of the shadows, run to the light, and join us as we talk about the freedom, cleansing, and confidence we have in Jesus.

This weeks episode Mark Herzlich and Thomas Keys discuss Sunday's message, “Blessed Assurance in Jesus,” from 1 John 1:1–4. In a world full of uncertainty, John reminds us that real confidence in salvation doesn't rest on our performance, but on the eternal, knowable, life-giving person of Jesus Christ. 

This Lord's Day on the The Shepherd's Church Podcast, we continue our Proverbs series by asking one of the most important questions any parent, church, or civilization can answer: Who determines the canon of knowledge that shapes our children? In a world drowning in counterfeit wisdom, shifting truth claims, and educational confusion, Proverbs calls us back to the only perfectly refined curriculum that has never failed, never changed, and never once led God's people astray: the Word of God. Join us as we explore why every home, every classroom, and every culture is handing down a canon, and why only Christ and His Word lead to life.

On today's episode Pastor Alan, Mark Herzlich and Thomas Keys, III discuss 2 Timothy 1:1-7, we're we are challenged to live for more than success—we're called to leave a legacy of faith that shapes the next generation. Through Paul's words to Timothy, this sermon reminds us that real faith is personal, intentionally passed down, and courageously lived out by the power of the Holy Spirit.

"Mama Saw Something In You;" Exodus 2:1-10

Co-hosted and produced by Joey Svendsen, Mental Health + Mission of the Church Podcast regularly has discussions on how the scientific community and the church can work better together in helping people find soundness of mind.  In this recent episode, Dr. Baron Short schools listeners on some science pertaining to mental health specifically sharing about his specialized field of brain stimulation.  Perhaps most noteworthy is the story of his recent encounter with Jesus, in his words literally seeing through His eyes.  He walked away from that encounter completely changed, healed in some broken areas of his heart and now has new lenses for his scientific practices of helping people by studying and stimulating the brain. Mental Health + Mission of the ChurchVideo of this Episode Joey's SubstackE-mail Joey here.Support Joey's work by Being a Patron / (Venmo)PWNA Theme Song by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicClosing song by Derek Minor and other music by Mechanical River. 

 "Bigger, Better, Greater and counting......" 1 Corinthians 2:9 

In this episode, Pastor Alan, Ed Upton and Peter Ku discuss believers baptism and what that is according to the Bible. We also will discuss how many believers around the world follow Jesus' example in baptism, even when it can sometimes cost them everything. 

Peace is something we all want, but it often feels just out of reach. In a world where peace is usually tied to circumstances, things going right, conflict staying away, life staying predictable, it doesn't take much for it to disappear. In this message from John 14, we're invited to consider a different kind of peace. Not a fragile peace built on control, but a lasting peace rooted in the presence of Jesus. Jesus tells his disciples, “My peace I give to you… not as the world gives.” This is a peace that holds steady even when life doesn't. It doesn't remove trouble, but it meets you in the middle of it. If you've been searching for peace in places that keep falling short, this message is an invitation to receive what Jesus is already offering, a peace that can't be produced, controlled, or taken away.

In this episode, we explore the profound “Great Exchange” in 2 Corinthians 5—where Jesus takes on human sin so that we can be reconciled to God. Discover how, as believers, we are freed from our old, shame-filled identities and no longer need to hide from God, but instead are called to live as new creations, carrying the message of reconciliation into the world.

Scripture Passages: Mark 4:35-41; James 1:2-3; 1 Peter 1:6-7; Psalm 73:21-23; Hebrews 13:5; Psalm 46:1-3

We're living in a world full of noise. Every day, thousands of voices compete for our attention, podcasts, news, social media, and opinions, all shaping how we think, feel, and respond. In this message from John 10, we're reminded that there is one voice that cuts through the noise, the voice of the Good Shepherd. Jesus reveals that we don't have to wander through life guessing who to trust. He calls, leads, goes before us, and even lays down His life for us. This message is an invitation to slow down, tune out the noise, and learn to recognize His voice through Scripture, silence, and prayer. Because the voice you follow will shape the life you live, and there is only one voice that will truly lead you where you need to go.
