Podcasts about Corvallis

Corvallis Oregon was a sleepy small town in the early 1900's and all was normal until the day Edmund Creffield arrived.Thus began a seven year ordeal that was so bizarre that no one to this day can really explain what and how it all happened.When the dust all settled, no on was ever the same again.On this episode we take a deep look into Ed Creffield and the Holy Rollers. It's a cautionary tale to say the least!Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

Guest speaker Caleb Hunt continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever had a friend who cuts through the noise to say exactly what you need to hear — not just what you want to hear? Today, Ecclesiastes plays that role, challenging us to face the one thing we'd rather ignore: death itself.Death is the great equalizer, reminding us that everything under the sun — our careers, legacies, and even wisdom — has limits. Yet, instead of despair, Ecclesiastes helps us see how confronting death head-on points us to genuine hope and purpose, found only when we invest in what lasts beyond the sun: God, His Word, and each other.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 3, 2025, at 10:15am.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 8 wrestles with why wicked people seem to thrive, how we're supposed to live under flawed authority, and what to do when life just doesn't make sense.But through it all, Solomon shows us something surprisingly hopeful: it will be well with those who fear God — not because we'll have the answers, but because we're trusting the One who does.It's an honest look at why submission — real, deep, often uncomfortable submission — isn't weakness, but the path to peace.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 27, 2025, at 8:30am.

Dabo and the Hoodie speak at ACC Media Days, why did Nico leave Tennessee for UCLA, do we believe him? Is Lincoln Riley a coward....and a true coaching treasure is back home in Corvallis.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.What if the letdowns in life are actually beautiful invitations? Ecclesiastes 7 flips our expectations upside down, showing that mourning shapes us more than laughter, and legacy matters more than luxury.We chase control, comfort, and clarity, but every human scheme eventually fails. And that's the gift. Because in surrendering our plans, we begin to trust the One who made us for more than life under the sun. This message is an honest, poetic, and deeply hopeful reminder that the best things for us may not be the easiest, but they're always eternal.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 20, 2025, at 10:15am.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever found yourself chasing "just a little bit more" yet always feeling empty? Today, we're diving into wisdom from Solomon, the wealthiest man in history, who still struggled profoundly with satisfaction. In Ecclesiastes 5 and 6, Solomon exposes the truth that money itself never satisfies, we can't take our earthly treasures with us, and failing to find joy in God's gifts isn't just sad — it's spiritually corrosive.But there's hope. God offers a different path where we express deep gratitude for what we have and invest our lives in what truly lasts. If you're ready to break free from the endless hamster wheel of dissatisfaction and step into a life of authentic contentment, God has something powerful for you today.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 13, 2025, at 10:15am.

Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues our Ecclesiastes series.How we walk into God's presence matters. Too often, we rush in, distracted, busy, or burdened, offering words without weight and worship without reverence. But Ecclesiastes 5 calls us back: Guard your steps. Let your words be few. Fear God.It's not about silence or perfection — it's about listening and posture. What if your Sunday started not with making noises but with awe? What if hearing from God became your deepest expectation?Today, we're learning to show up differently and approach God with hearts ready to listen, vows we intend to keep, and reverence that shapes our worship.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 7, 2025, at 10:15am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.We were made for friendship, but we're living through a friendship famine. In Ecclesiastes 4, Solomon reflects on a life filled with accomplishments but lacking deep connection. His words are hauntingly honest: without true friends, even success feels hollow.In this message, we'll explore why friendship is so hard today, why it matters more than ever, and how the church can be a healing place to form lasting relationships. Whether you're surrounded by people or feeling painfully alone, this conversation might change the way you pursue community.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 29, 2025, at 10:15am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Solomon had it all — pleasure, progress, wealth, legacy — and still said, "I hated life." But in Ecclesiastes 3, he discovers something more profound: the secret to meaning isn't in chasing everything in every season. The secret is in embracing the season you're in.In this message, we'll explore how to meet God right where you are: whether you're grieving or dancing, building or breaking, asking hard questions or simply holding on. Real joy begins when we stop striving and start trusting.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 22, 2025, at 8:30am.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Ecclesiastes series.Solomon had it all: wealth, wisdom, wine, women, and work. Yet he called it all hevel: vapor, mist, a striving after the wind. In Ecclesiastes 2, we meet a man who tried everything under the sun and still found himself empty.But this isn't just ancient pessimism; it's a timeless invitation to stop grasping for satisfaction in things that can't fulfill you, and to start pursuing God, the only pursuit that lasts, the only One who gives true joy.If you've ever asked, "What's the point?" — this is for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 15, 2025, at 10:15am.

Will the life you're building truly stand the test of life's inevitable storms? As we conclude our journey through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, we're confronted with a powerful image: two houses, two builders, two outcomes.Both people heard the same teaching and faced similar challenges, yet one stood firm while the other tragically collapsed.The crucial difference is not merely hearing Jesus' words but choosing to build your life on them slowly, intentionally, and obediently. Let's dig deep beneath the surface, learning how to truly anchor ourselves to the Rock, Jesus Christ, so that when the winds rage and the floods rise, our lives remain unshaken.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 1, 2025, at 10:15am.

Today, we have two messages as we continue our Sermon on the Mount series. Jimmy Cleary and Andy Rosse each unpack one of the most sobering passages in Scripture — Matthew 7:21-23 — revealing the uncomfortable truth that religious activity alone doesn't secure eternity.We're challenged to examine our hearts honestly: Are we relying on empty religious activities, or do we have a daily habit of repentance and a genuine relationship with Christ? If you've ever felt uncertain about your standing with God or questioned whether your life reflects your beliefs, this message offers clarity and hope.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 25, 2025, at 8:30am & 10:15am.

Worship director Justin Jackson continues our Sermon on the Mount series."A wolf in sheep's clothing" is someone who appears harmless but is inwardly destructive. Jesus warns us about false teachers who will come like this, and tells us to be on guard because the ways deception can creep into the truth are subtle.This isn't just about identifying those who might lead us astray; it's a call to examine our own understanding of truth and the path we're choosing to walk. Thankfully, there is a practical way Jesus equips us to discern what's genuine.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 18, 2025, at 11:00am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.There are moments in life when thinking about decisions isn't enough—when you have to choose. In Matthew 7, Jesus brings us to exactly that crossroads.He presents us with two clear paths: a narrow gate opening to a hard road, leading to real life, or a wide gate leading down an easy road, ultimately ending in ruin. Faith in Jesus isn't just a one-time moment—it's also a continuous journey of choosing to follow Him, even when it's difficult.

Oregon State had a chance to lead in the NIL era. And said no.Beavs Legend Steve Johnson returns to share his inside story of a groundbreaking proposal to elevate OSU Men's Basketball through alumni engagement, academic partnerships, and a modern, sustainable NIL strategy. Backed by the College of Business, it was a chance to lead with vision.Instead, the Athletic Department walked away.We break down every layer of this story, especially the jaw-dropping moment a Deputy AD allegedly said in a meeting with Johnson: “No one will remember you in 15 years… even if you're Gary Payton.”This one's for every fan who's asked: What the hell is going on in Corvallis?#GoBeavs #OregonState #NIL #CollegeBasketball #SteveJohnson

About Craig Randall - I've loved stories and literature and writing for as long as I can remember. For just as long, I've also struggled with anxiety and depression. They have loomed over me, all my life, threatening to steal away whatever hope and joy i've worked so hard to build.All my work, the fiction and the poetry, was born out of this struggle as I worked to overcome and deal the hardships these struggles brought on.There's so much to the story, which I will write about later. In the mean time, just know you're not alone. You are brilliant and strong and are not a product of whatever's held you back. You got this! We got this!Oh, one of my main hopes is let men know it's okay to feel, it's okay to express, it's okay that we're not always sure how, but real strength is found in taking that step forward and bearing ourselves to those we love.We can all feel whole!

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.When people are difficult, Jesus doesn't tell us to avoid them. He calls us to engage with wisdom, grace, and courage. In Matthew 7, we're called to judge without a judgmental heart, pray when we feel stuck, and then act, even when no clear answer comes.And we're not just called to treat others fairly, but to treat them as we would want to be treated when we fall short. Thisisn't passive kindness; it's relentless love. The kind that pursues, initiates, and reflects the heart of God Himself. Who's God calling you to love like that this week?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 4, 2025, at 9:30am.

It's been a tough couple of years for our friends in Corvallis, with conference realignment making it challenging for Oregon State to keep up with Oregon regarding revenue sports such as football and basketball.But while the Ducks are lapping it up in the Big Ten, the one thing the Beavers have held onto is baseball. That's Oregon State's thing. That's the one thing Oregon's money couldn't seemingly buy success over the Beavers since reinstating the program in 2009.Well, let's go to the internet to see how that's going:Oh.The Ducks swept the Beavers this season for the first time since bringing baseball back. And in this week's Traffic Report, Tyson Alger and Justin Myers dive into what it means if, well, the Ducks have taken the diamond for themselves, too.Plus: Our review of Oregon's spring game, the NFL Draft and Damian Lillard's injury.For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or find us over on Apple or Spotify.(Top photo courtesy of Rob Moseley/GoDucks.com)The I-5 Corridor is a reader-supported publication.

Today, youth pastor Gary Jones continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Ask and you will receive. Is this too good to be true? It's easy to doubt that God is listening sometimes, especially during difficult times. But when we really know God's heart, we will ask boldly for the good things that He has for us, because He desires to give good gifts to His children. When we trust in his goodness, we won't hesitate to bring our requests to Him, but will instead respond by earnestly seeking Him out.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 27, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carsetensen celebrates Easter by inviting us to confront a deeper hunger: the ache for a leader who doesn't exploit but sacrifices. Who doesn't scatter, but gathers. In a world full of failed leaders and broken promises, Jesus dares to say: "I am the Good Shepherd." And then He proves it by restoring the blind, rescuing the anxious, and laying down His life.What if the thing you most need isn't money, healing, or even escape, but a Good Shepherd?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 20, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.We all judge—but Jesus invites us to think differently.Not to ignore sin, but to approach others with mercy, humility, and clarity. In a world quick to condemn, Jesus shows a better way: start with your own heart, discern gently, and love deeply.This Palm Sunday, as we remember Jesus weeping over a blind city, we're reminded—true judgment begins with compassion.So the question isn't if we'll judge. It's how.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 13, 2025, at 9:30am.

In my 20 years living in Los Angeles, I've noticed a pattern. If you grow up on the West Coast, there's always a pull to return to the Pacific time zone. For Oregon State quarterback Maalik Murphy, coming back West wasn't what he initially envisioned as one of the top quarterbacks in the Class of 2022 out of Serra High School in Gardena, California. But after stops at Texas and Duke, the gifted QB has found his way back, now leading the Oregon State Beavers.With spring ball in full swing across the country, we're excited to welcome Maalik to the Y-Option podcast for the first time, presented by our founding partner 76.Oregon State football has always been built on successful quarterback play complimenting a strong run game with a tough defense and an incredible fan base. Now, in Year 2 under Trent Bray, the Beavers are in position to make some serious noise out West.I still remember my first trip to Corvallis. It was 2006, my 2nd year coaching at USC. We rolled into Reser Stadium as the No. 3 team in the country, only to leave with a 33-31 loss and the sound of chainsaws ringing in our ears. That game wasn't my first introduction to the Beavs, though. I had already faced them as a player in the 2002 Insight Bowl while starting for Pitt. We won, and freshman Larry Fitzgerald became a household name that night. But what stuck with me was Oregon State's identity - tough, disciplined, and relentless.Fast forward to today, and the man leading the Beavers is a familiar name. Bray was a linebacker on that 2002 team and now holds his dream job as Oregon State's head coach. And this offseason, he might have landed his dream quarterback.When the Pac-12 reshaped itself last season, skeptics doubted whether the Beavers could land an elite quarterback in the transfer portal. But Beaver Nation proved them wrong. Coach Bray, offensive coordinator/QB coach Ryan Gunderson, and the Oregon State staff made their pitch, and one of the hottest names in the portal chose them. As Maalik shared with me on Y-Option, he's never been happier, or more confident.Hearing that was special. Maalik Murphy is the type of leader young quarterbacks should look up to - a model of resilience and perseverance.We hope you enjoy today's conversation. And to those of you in our Y-Option paid community - thank you for your continued support.Back to spring ball film study!Much love and Stay Steady,YogiThis episode is executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor RenThis podcast is a Best Coast Media productionY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Sermon on the Mount series.In a world that relentlessly urges you to chase fleeting possessions and fragile comforts, Jesus invites you into something deeper—something eternally significant. As we explore Matthew 6:19-24, Pastor Ron challenges us with a heart-checking truth: what you treasure most shapes the destiny of your heart.Today, ask yourself boldly: Do you have the courage to follow what Jesus truly says—to invest your life in what lasts forever? If you dare to see clearly, prioritizing treasures beyond this life, you'll uncover a purpose far richer than any earthly gain. Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 30, 2025, at 9:30am.

On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we look at some of the most overlooked attractions in the Willamette Valley that are perfect for some family-friendly day trips this spring. While most people will flock to the Oregon coast, Mount Hood or the Columbia River Gorge, you can break the mold by visiting some of these great, off-beat destinations that are sprinkled throughout the region. Here are some highlights from this week's show: A roadside attraction in Brownsville is perfect for any rockhounds in the family. Why the Albany Carousel is not your average carousel.
