Adult Pastor Ron King continues our series on Mark.Have you ever read a passage of Scripture, or listened to a sermon and walked away feeling unchanged? It's easy to blame the communicator or the environment, but today, Jesus challenges us to look somewhere more uncomfortable: the soil of our own hearts.We often pray for God to change our circumstances, our families, or our financial stress. But often before Jesus calms the external storms in our lives, he wants to break up the hard, unplowed soil inside of us. Because God doesn't want our performance or our talent, but our tenderness. If you've been feeling distant from God, or like the worries of this world are starting to strangle your peace, this message is for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 7, 2026, at 9:00am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.From the very first chapter, Jesus offends everyone: the religious leaders, his own family, and strangers at lunch tables in rural Uganda. And that's because Jesus doesn't soften his claims or make his message easier for us to digest. And honestly? Part of us gets offended by that.And then there's another darker, stranger thread running through Mark: demons. These are spiritual forces that recognize Jesus before most humans do. They're working to replace the truth about God with lies that feel like our own thoughts.But in every single encounter, Jesus doesn't negotiate. Darkness just submits.The question Mark leaves us with isn't whether Jesus is powerful enough. It's whether we'll keep holding out, or finally surrender to the King that even demons obey.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 31, 2026, at 10:30am.

This interview is with Jay Pscheidt of Oregon State University. In this interview, Jay talks about how he came to be in Oregon, transitioning from studying potatoes to all kinds of woody perennials.Jay talks about his journey from pre-med to bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin. After attending a lecture by a plant pathologist, he realized he could apply all his newfound knowledge for the betterment of growers in his area.Jay discusses beginning to work at Cornell, where he switched his focus from potato plants to grapevines. There in New York, he studied a combination of grapes grown for wine and table or juice grapes.Later in the interview, Jay talks about moving to Oregon and getting a job with OSU. He really enjoyed extension services and embedding himself in the community in that way. In addition to teaching a field diagnostic course, in which students traveled all around the state to study different crops, Jay was also in charge of the yearly Pacific Northwest Plant Disease Management Handbook publication.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Oregon State University's Botany & Plant Pathology Field Laboratory in Corvallis on April 28, 2026.On March 26, 2026, Jay gave a lecture at Chemeketa Community College's Eola Campus outlining the highlights of his 38-year career with OSU's extension plant pathology department. He summarizes some of his team's key findings while working with 21 different crops, estimating some 4,400 treatments studied for plant disease management.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.In Mark chapter 2, Jesus walks past a tax collector — one of the most despised men in town — and says two words: Follow me. No conditions. No get-his-act-together required. Just an invitation.Then Jesus goes to his house for dinner. And the religious leaders lose it.Jesus gravitates toward exactly the people everyone else avoids, which reveals the nature of the gospel: Jesus only heals people who know they're sick. Which means the real danger isn't being too far gone. It's thinking you're already fine.If you've been a Christian long enough to forget what it felt like to need saving, this message will challenge you. And if you're not sure Jesus would want anything to do with you, this one's for you, too.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 24, 2026, at 10:30am.

Five new Binky Patrol chapters have launched — St. Marys, Georgia; Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania; Janesville, Wisconsin; Sharon, Wisconsin; and a drop-off location near Oregon State University in Corvallis. Pennsylvania's newest chapter made 86 blankets at their very first Binkathon, with a football team and student volunteers showing up to help. June 20th marks Binky Patrol's official 30th anniversary — the date a shout-out on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 turned a 30-day-old Laguna Beach group into a national organization, triggering 800+ calls in 48 hours. Some of those original chapters are still active. Oregon volunteers: storage cleanout is this Saturday. Fleece, flannel, cotton, batting, and soft washable yarn only. No stretchy fabric, no sheer curtains, no burlap. The October Binkathon is open to all chapters. Find yours — or start one — at binkypatrol.org.

Worship Director Justin Jackson kicks off our new 15-week journey through the Gospel of Mark.While all of the gospels are clear about who Jesus is, each one also has a unique perspective to offer. Mark puts emphasis on two massive pillars throughout the book: that Jesus is the authoritative Son of God, and that he is the ultimate servant king.Mark gives us a profound look at what it means to move from slaves to sons, as he shows how Jesus completely flips the worldly script on power. He demonstrates His authority not by demanding to be served but through serving, by touching the untouchable, healing the broken, and ultimately paying a ransom to free us from the master of sin.Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus looking for encouragement in your own areas of service, or you're just wondering who Jesus really is, this message is a beautiful reminder that you are deeply loved and seen by the King.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 17, 2026, at 9:30am.

Today, we have three guest preachers bringing us the final word on our series through Jeremiah.This is the end of one of the heaviest books in the Bible. Forty years of warnings. Chance after chance. And a people who kept choosing Egypt over God — over and over — right up until there was nothing left.But here's the thing: we all have an Egypt. It's that place we run to when we think we know better. That voice we listen to instead of God.But this isn't just a story about destruction. It's a story about a God who keeps reaching. Who delivers on every promise. Both the hard ones and the beautiful ones. Who shows up after the catastrophe. Who says, I am not done with you.The first one will be from Jimmy Cleary, followed by Caleb Hunt, and finally by Austin Ray. It's three voices, but one message.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 10, 2026, at 8am, 9:30am, and 11am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Jeremiah.There's a king, Zedekiah, who keeps showing up at God's door. Keeps asking the right questions. Keeps getting the right answers. But keeps walking away while doing nothing.Like Zedekiah, most of us know what we should do. We've gotten the advice, we've listened to the sermon, and we've felt the conviction. But there's a gap — a painful, familiar gap — between knowing and doing; between asking and acting.This message is about that gap, why we're afraid of the wrong things, and why, eventually, if we're not careful, we just stop asking altogether.But it also ends with the best news. Because Jesus is a better Zedekiah who took action by willingly surrendering everything for us.If there's an area of your life where you know what to do — and can't seem to do it — this one's for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 3, 2026, at 9:30am.

BY EARLY 1941, the U.S. Army knew it was about to get sucked into at least one of the wars that were already raging around the world. The Selective Service and Training Act had passed the previous fall, and already young American men were being drafted into the Army, swelling its ranks with green recruits. Sooner or not much later they'd be in combat, fighting for their lives. There was no time to be lost — those combat noobs had to be trained and hardened and prepared so that they would have as good a chance as possible when thrown into the fight. With that in mind, the Army started looking for suitable locations for a combat-training campus between Portland and San Francisco on the West Coast. It would need to be about 65,000 acres and, in addition to the usual building sites and gunnery ranges, it would have to include geography similar to the sites where the fighting was expected to happen: rolling hills, steep slopes, swampy terrain, thick forests, and something approximating jungle foliage. Moving very fast — after all, new conscripts were coming in all the time — the Army settled on two prospective sites: one near Eugene, and one just north of Corvallis. The Corvallis site won the toss — there were fewer residents to be displaced, and the railroad and highway infrastructure was more developed. That was in June 1941. By the end of that year, the funds were allocated and the plans drawn up, and nine months later Oregon's second largest city had spring into being out of the swampy ground.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series in the book of Jeremiah.Have you ever felt like there's a voice in your ear whispering that you're just not good enough? Most of us spend our lives under a contract we can't keep, haunted by the feeling that we're one mistake away from falling short. But what happens when the contract changes? Today, we're exploring the massive shift from performance to promise found in Jeremiah 31. And why there is no room for "if" in the way Jesus sees you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 26, 2026, at 11:00am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series in the book of Jeremiah.Arguably, one of the most famous verses in the entire Bible is Jeremiah 29:11. We love it on coffee mugs, graduation cards, and tattoos, but the real story behind this verse is very sobering. It was written to a people whose whole world had just burned down, and the 'hope' God offered them came with a 70-year waiting period. Join us as we dive into what it actually looks like to find a 'future and a hope' when life is far from perfect, and how we are called to be a blessing to our city while still being exiles waiting to go back home.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 19, 2026, at 9:30am.

Getting stuck in a small Town on Nude Day, turns interesting.Based on a post by m storyman x, in 2 parts. Listen to the  ►podcast at Steamy Stories.Owning a consulting business has its advantages. Over the years I had been quite successful and enjoyed a few perks for that success. I was enjoying one of them, flying to a consulting job in my Cessna 350 Corvallis, when a fantastic series of events was set in motion. I could never afford such an expensive plane, but after performing several hundred hours of independent testing on it, as part of a law suit, they sold the state of the art craft to me for a single dollar. Car type bucket seats and fly by wire technology made it one of the most comfortable planes I had ever flown.Amanda, a professional photographer that I had used a number of times on jobs like the one we were traveling to; seemed to also enjoy the comfort of this plane compared to the old 172 I used to fly.I felt the first shudder in the engine while I was busy sneaking a peek at Amanda’s legs. With her lounging sleepily in the bucket seat next to me, her already short skirt had ridden up a couple more inches, and the rising sun was just brightening the inside of the cockpit enough for me to really see just how much leg she was unknowingly showing. In fact, if I caught the reflection in the LCD screen just right, I could almost see up between her legs to the light colored panties she wore. Yeah, I knew I was almost twice her age, but hell, she was hot and I was Always horny. How could I not look?The second shudder really got my attention, and I went to work in the cockpit; all thought of her panty color and legs leaving my mind as it went into immediate troubleshooting mode.I knew the electronics of this craft inside out, having done so much testing on the fly by wire during the legal suit. It only took a few moments to check and confirm that the dual ignition system of the fuel injected six cylinder engine was working as designed. We were cruising at nearly one hundred eighty knots, and everything seemed ok. But that second shudder had me on edge. I did not miss the third time it shuddered, just as I was in the middle of checking the fuel system. I caught it in the act. It was just a fluke that I happened to be looking right at the fuel pressure read out when it did it. Just for a moment, it blinked lower. Not a lot, a few pounds, but it was enough to set every alarm bell I had ringing. This baby needed to be on the ground and Now!I gave Amanda an unceremonious, almost rude, shove with my hand before I set to work hitting the GPS navigation system for the closest airfield. “Tighten your belts, we’re setting down.” I practically growled as my mind went through emergency modes and check lists. I had filed a Visual Flight Rules route plan so I didn’t need to contact a controller, but just to be safe I punched in 7700 into my transponder and hit the ident key. The response to my emergency code was almost immediate, Kansas City flight following had me on the radio in seconds asking my emergency. After several terse exchanges with them, they recommended we proceed to Kansas City International for an emergency procedure landing. I was just about to make that turn when the engine tone changed. Air speed quickly started to fall as the engine RPM tailed off to a little more than an idle.“Negative KC Center. Looks like I just lost power.” I responded as my fingers started working the GPS system to find the closest airport. It was tiny, some little ‘burg called Milan. I’d never heard of it, but it had a strip. I tipped the wings over and started dropping at nearly a thousand feet per minute; hoping that what little power the engine had would hang on until I could get the wheels on the ground.In the early dawn morning it was hard to pick out, but with a little help from the GPS pointers I was able to find the single strip of the small airport, sitting just outside what looked like a very small town. KC Center acknowledged my plans and stayed with me until I was out of radar contact, only a thousand feet off the ground. It wasn’t my finest landing, but given that I only had one shot at it, I thought it was pretty damn good. The engine had just enough power to idle off the runway and onto a taxiway before it quit completely. But that was ok…we were down.The airport was small, and to be honest, looked pretty deserted; and the air felt like stepping into a furnace when I popped the door open. “Looks like we have to walk.” I said to Amanda as I stepped out and gingerly off the wing. Even for a mid-July morning it seemed oppressively hot.“Well, I suppose I can charge you mileage!” She joked as she unfolded her slim frame barefoot onto the wing. She closed the door and sat down on the smooth aluminum surface to put her high heels back onto her feet while I shook my head at her good looking, but less than functional, footwear. She slid down the smooth metal of the wing and allowed me to catch her before her feet hit the ground, the edge of the wing catching her skirt and pulling it up as she slid off. I only got a glimpse of her cream colored panties before she pulled her skirt back down and blushed a bright red. “Oops. Sorry about that.” She almost whispered.“Not a problem. Last time I checked I still liked looking at beautiful women’s panties. Especially if they were still in them!” I responded jokingly, which only made her blush even more.It was a fairly long walk from where the plane decided to park itself, to the office complex of the small airport. It didn’t take much looking around to find out that there was a mechanics office, but that Freddie was in town and didn’t work on Wednesdays. That was just great! Freddie didn’t leave a phone number either, but did leave the address of his shop in town. I figured maybe we could talk him into making an emergency repair.Using my i-phone I looked up the address and found that it was only a couple miles from the airstrip. A quick call confirmed that it was still too early for Freddie to be there. It was going to be a warm walk into town, but then it was better than sitting out here and roasting. After a short consultation with Amanda, we decided to trek into town and see if we could track down Freddie.City CaféIt was still early as we approached the small town, and it showed. The streets were deserted except for a few cars passing by. We found the address of Freddie’s shop, but it was still locked up. I decided some breakfast might be in order and the only thing that looked open was a small diner across the street.“Looks like breakfast!” I said as I led Amanda across the still empty road and entered the tiny diner. To say I was shocked would have been the biggest understatement in the book. There were a number of people sitting around eating, all naked! It looked like a nudist convention. But you could have knocked me over with a feather when the waitress came out of the kitchen with a tray of dishes, and not a stitch of clothing on.“Be right with you!” She said as she turned and bent to put the dishes down, her easily double D tits swinging enticingly. She turned back and walked up with a smile on her face and only a tiny apron around her waist that failed to completely cover the junction of her legs. “So I take it your new in town?” She asked, looking past us toward where our car might be parked, if we had one.“Would you like a booth?” She asked cheerily.“Yeah, actually we would.” I answered, after which she led us to a booth toward the rear that was a bit less in the line of site of the windows and most of the other patrons.“Um, Yeah. Did we come at a bad time?” I asked, looking around at the naked patrons.“Nope, it’s the fourteenth.” She said as if it explained everything.“And that means?” I asked, cocking my head and lifting my shoulders to encourage her to explain.“Oh. Yeah. I guess you're not from here. It's a City ordinance. No clothes in public for National Nude day, unless of course you are from out of town. We can’t force you visitors to participate, but everyone in town does, or they stay home.” She said with a smile and a shrug. “I can loan you a bag for your clothes if you want.” She said, as she set our table with cutlery and menues. She was also eyeing the growing bulge in my pants, as I watched her absolutely fantastic tits jiggle over our table.“Just so I understand, everyone in town goes nude? And this happens why?” I asked.“National Nude Day. The whole town had a say in it and we decided to make it a town holiday. Some of the townsfolk floated the idea as a joke. Me and a few others called their bluff. It's been that way a few years now. Everybody seems to like it. E used to set it for the actual day that the rest of the nation observes, but the town just turned into a traffic jam and our residents became internet fodder. So now we have a town committee setting a random summer day, and only give a 48 hour notice. The result is really good for business, since a lot of travelers come here hoping to get lucky, and patronizing the businesses all summer long.”“I can see why.” I said looking around at the mostly male population of the diner and thinking that most of them were probably not here for the food.“Here you go” she said, handing us our menus. “And really, I’d be happy to loan you a sack for your clothes. I mean if you want to take them off and all.” She said with a wink. “I’ll be back in a sec with menus.”True to her word she was back in a few moments to take our orders, and if I was any judge, her tiny apron hiked up a tad more. From my seated position I could easily see her shaved mound, complete with a tiny blue butterfly tattoo. As she set down the menus she stepped her feet slightly apart, allowing me to see her protruding lips, which to my experienced eye, looked like they had been freshly stroked. My attention was temporarily fixed on her glistening lips until she bent over to place silver wear on the table and her large tits hung literally inches from my face.“So what can I interest you in to drink? Coffee, juice, milk?” She asked, pulling her little pad out of the tiny apron.“I think some Orange Juice.” Amanda said, her voice clearly displaying her nervousness.“Actually I’ve always been a milk lover.” I said with a smile.“I’m sure I can find you a nice tall glass.” The waitress said with a smile, turning to walk off, allowing her cute ass to wiggle seductively as she headed toward the kitchen.“Seems like a nice young lady.” I said to Amanda as I opened the menu. “What do you think?”“I’m not sure I could go around naked all day.” She replied as she looked around the small diner.“Why not. You’re a very good looking woman. You have nothing to be ashamed of.”“Like you’re going to run around naked?” She answered with a smirk.“Sure, why not?” I answered.“I’ve worked for you for how long now? Five years? I think I know you pretty well, and the way you were checking out that waitress you’ve got to be hard as hell. You sure you want to show that off to everyone who looks your way?” She chided with a grin, her directness surprising me.“Oh? Sounds like you’ve been watching me when I wasn’t looking.”“Why not? Are you going to tell me you didn’t notice how far my skirt was hiked up in the plane? Come on, I’m not that naive. I know you like me wearing these skirts. I just prefer to keep my sexual activities a bit more private.”“Well, if that’s how you feel. I dare you to strip for me.” I said, wondering if she really would.“Sure. Like I’m going to run around naked? Fat chance.”“That’s a shame.” The waitress said as she set two glasses on the table, the smell of turned on cunt clearly evident as she stood close to me. “You look cute. You might find it fun to go naked like this. It’s kind of a turn on actually.”“I’m not sure I can actually go naked in front of strange men.” Amanda replied.“You should try it. It’s actually kind of fun to tease them.”“Aren’t you afraid of getting molested?” Amanda asked her seriously.“Hasn’t happened yet. Besides these old geezers come in every year to watch me. It’s kind of fun to see what they will come up with next to get me to do something with them. I never will, but they don’t know that.” The waitress said with a smile. “So how about it? You two going to join us?”“Oh, I don’t know.” Amanda whispered.“Ok. Why don’t I get your order and in the meantime you can think about it!” The waitress said, smiling at me sweetly.“Well, I’ll have the ham and eggs, over easy, white toast.” I told her as she scribbled on the pad.“And you miss?” She asked looking at Amanda.“I think the biscuits and gravy look pretty good.”“Good choice. I’ll be back in a few minutes with your food. And if you change your mind you can use the ladies room to undress, you may find that more comfortable.” The waitress said as she turned and headed for the kitchen.“Might as well, Amanda. Never going to get a chance like this again.” I teased.“Let’s admit it; you just want to see me naked!” She shot back at me with a frown. “Sure why not? Besides, didn’t you just tell me a little while ago you’ve been intentionally wearing sexy stuff just to tease me? Just think how much of a tease this will be!”“Ok, hot shot. I will if you will. But you gotta strip, right here, first! Let’s see how cocky you are when you have to show off that boner!”“So I get up and undress, and then you do? No running to the bathroom and hiding?” I said with a crooked smile.“Um, Yep.” She sighed realizing that she had walked directly into a trap.“Ok! You’re on!” I said, sliding out of the booth and standing up. I was just pulling my shirt tail out of my pants when the waitress came back.“Oh; decided to join me?” She asked with a smile.Seems that way.“ I answered as I turned to face her."Well, in that case, let me.” She said, reaching out for my shirt and pulling it up and over my head. She tossed it onto the bench seat of the booth and then stepped closer. “This will drive those old geezers nuts.” She whispered as she placed her hand on my hard cock and rubbed it through my pants. She stroked me with one hand while the other deftly undid my belt, and the button of my pants. Her hand moved long enough to unzip my pants and then slid inside them, rubbing my increasingly hard cock through my underwear as she pushed my pants down.“Nice.” She said as she crouched down, bringing her face level with my underwear clad cock. She untied my low top hikers and pulled them off, and then worked my pants over my feet, leaving me in nothing but my socks and underwear. “Now, let’s take care of this too.” She said with a smile, looking up at me as she reached for my briefs. I closed my eyes and tried not to moan as she pulled my underwear down and closed her lips around the head of my cock. “Hmm” she mumbled around my cock, as she licked and sucked on it gently. She continued to suck my engorged cock while she worked my underwear down my legs and over my feet. “Tasty.” She said quietly when she pulled her mouth from my cock. “You wouldn’t mind taking care of a really horny cunt with it, would you?”“That depends on whose it is?” I breathed.“Mine.” She said as she stood up in front of me and reached for my hands. She pulled me across the aisle to the booth on the other side and sat her ass on the edge of the table. She let go of one hand and reached for my hard cock, pulling it toward her cunt as she pulled my hand toward her chest.“Oh God yes.” she whispered, as she rubbed my engorged head around her wet lips. “Slide it in now.” She practically begged.By that point I was thinking with my dick and willingly leaned into her, allowing my cock head to spread her lips and slowly push into her cunt. I let out a quiet moan as I felt my head expand her tunnel and pass that first point of resistance. I felt her velvety smooth walls slowly engulf my shaft, teasing its length and the sensitive spot under my head, as I slowly pushed deeper into her. Finally I felt my head press against the end of her tunnel, nestling into a little pocket next to her cervix. Her whole tunnel seemed to squeeze me with just the right amount of pressure, resisting my efforts as I started to slowly pull back out.“Oh yeah. That’s what I want.” She said quietly as I stopped with only the head of my cock inside her, and then pressed deep into her again.Right then I didn’t care who was watching. I had my cock buried in a hot cunt and my hands were busy with both her tits and her clit. I cupped and stroked her tit and nipple, teasing first one and then the other, each growing harder and more puckered as time passed; meanwhile my other fingers were busy stroking her clit while my shaft slid in and out of her wet cunt.“Oh Fuck Yes!” She hissed as her body began to tremble. “So fucking good!” She mumbled as my left thumb stroked across her exposed clit. Each time I pressed into her I allowed my thumb to stroke slowly across the hard nub, and then just when I was at the end of her tunnel I would rub it in small circles until I pulled back down her tunnel.I continued to work her cunt and nipples as her body shook, pushing her closer and closer to her impending orgasm. Her chest heaved and small beads of sweat began to collect in the sweet crevasse created by her sexy tits. My own climax was building with each second that I teased her closer to hers. Finally she began to spasm, her grunts and moans getting louder by the second as her body began to jerk uncontrollably. I felt her legs wrap around my waist, her heels pulling me deep into her as her whole body shook with spasms, control of her muscles giving way to her orgasm. Slowly her jerking and trembling passed and she pulled herself up until her tits were pressing into my chest and her lips were pressed against mine.The embrace was soft and hard at the same time, filled with passion and desire. She kissed me wetly for several minutes before finally releasing my neck and leaning back.“God that was incredible, thank you.” She whispered. “I wish I had time to play more. I could definitely get used to having this inside me.” She said with a wiggle of her hips, moving herself on my still primed and hard cock. “But I need to get your food. Besides, I don’t want to deprive your friend of getting some of this.”“I’m not sure it’s exactly what she has in mind.” I said.“Well, if she doesn’t, I will. Y

Youth Pastor Cason Brownell continues our series on Jeremiah.We're all surrounded by voices telling us we're fine. That everything's going to work out. That God isn't really that concerned with what we're doing. Smooth words. Easy promises of peace when there is no peace.Jeremiah saw it. The false prophets were telling people exactly what they wanted to hear. And it was destroying them. But this message isn't just about ancient Judah. It's about the voices we listen to today. The ones in our feeds, in our circles, and maybe even in our own heads.But right in the middle of all that noise, God makes a promise of a better Shepherd, a real peace, and a righteousness we could never earn.This isn't just about false prophets. It's about all of us. The quiet compromises we make, and the invitation to come back.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 12, 2026, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen shares an Easter message.Most of us want a clean ending. We want the story to wrap up, the questions to get answered, the credits to roll. But the oldest account of Easter — the one written by a guy named Peter — ends in the strangest way. No triumphant reunion. No big reveal. Just an empty tomb, a simple announcement, and three women running away in fear.That's it.And that's actually the whole point.Because what if Easter isn't just a moment you celebrate once a year, but an invitation you're still supposed to be living inside of? What do you do with an announcement you can't fully explain, can't fully prove, but can't quite walk away from either?That's what we're wrestling with today.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 5, 2026, at 10:00am.

How does a private prayer pillow encounter in Corvallis become a recorded document in the Library of Congress? In this "Mashup" episode, Kristen Wambach revisits the raw, emotional "first fruits" of her spiritual journey. Through a rare archival transcript of her first book release, we witness the "rabbi trails," red Converse All-Stars, and "Twinkie" communion that started it all.This isn't just a look back; it's a masterclass in the growth of a vision.

Experience the evolution of a spiritual investigative journalist and discover that your "small" beginnings are simply the first chapter of a divine sequel.Episode Takeaways The Power of the First Fruit: Understand the spiritual law of "first mention" and why dedicating your initial victories to God creates a "bubble" of grace for everything that follows. Decoding Spiritual Symbols: From the "Conversation All-Star" red shoes to the "Rabbit/Rabbi Trail," learn how God uses personal, even "goofy" symbols to anchor deep identity and calling. The Evolution of a Vision: Witness the transition from the internal "Gates" structure (Hell, Pew, Pulpit, Heaven) to a "Beyond" posture that prioritizes hope and redemption over doctrine. Outcome-Focused Activation: Experience the "Monday-morning" logic of the Barrel and Gondola activation—a practical path to exchanging wilderness debris for divine resources. A Special Invitation: Step Into the "Beyond"If the echoes of this first book release stirred a hunger in you, then the journey is just beginning. We are officially inviting you to step out of the "unfinished" and into the fullness of the Father's heart.How Good is God! is now available. This isn't just a sequel; it is a practical path featuring raw stories, prayer, and simple activations designed for the seeker, the entrepreneur, and the spiritually brave. Move past the "gates" and into a reality where heaven isn't a destination, but your current atmosphere."Brokenness was always supposed to reveal the cream center." — Kristen Wambach

Adult Pastor Ron King continues our series on Jeremiah.What do you do when the call of God grows painful? When you said yes to following Jesus, but it cost you more than you expected?Jeremiah knew that place. He was a prophet who wept, raged, and prayed prayers with no amen. And he was a man who kept going despite the pain.If you've ever wondered if faithfulness is worth it. Or, if you've been sitting with a quiet fear that God's purpose for your life is smaller than you hoped — or harder than you signed up for. Remember: God knew you before you were born. He called you by name. And His purpose for your life is bigger than you are currently imagining.The question Jeremiah forces us to ask is simple. When the drop off a waterfall comes — and it will — will you still trust the One holding the oar?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 29, 2026, at 9:30am.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our series on Jeremiah.What if you've been doing all the right things, but none of it is working? You show up. You sing the songs. You go through the motions. But something still feels hollow. Still feels far.That was Israel. They had the temple. They had the rituals. They chanted the right words. And God looked at them and said, "you don't even know me."There's a difference between performing faith and living it. Between an offering that looks right and a heart that actually is. And the terrifying thing? You can be completely convinced you're delivered, and be completely wrong.This message is a mirror. And it's an invitation. Because the same God who warned a rebellious people 2,600 years ago is speaking directly to you today.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our new series on Jeremiah.Jeremiah is hard and uncomfortable. It shows us a God who judges sin and allows sometimes brutal consequences.And for many of us, that feels strange because we love the picture of Jesus as merciful, compassionate, and welcoming of children.But Jeremiah forces us to wrestle with the questions: Is that the same God? Or are we seeing something different?Spoiler: it's the same story and the same God, just a different moment in the story. Let's dive into how it all fits together.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 15, 2026, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen starts a new series on Jeremiah.Jeremiah begins in a world that feels painfully familiar. A world where life can feel unfair. Where some people seem to carry burdens they never chose. Where obedience to God doesn't always lead to comfort or visible success.Jeremiah was young. Insecure. Unqualified. And God still called him. Not to an easy life. Not to quick results. But to faithful obedience in a very hard moment of history.This is a story about what it means to follow God when the road is steep, culture is drifting, and faithfulness may cost more than we expected.But it's also a story about God making one amazing promise when everything feels uncertain: "I am with you." And sometimes that's exactly enough.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 9, 2026, at 9:30am.

The date when a shaft of divine light came down from the heavens and transformed Franz Edmund Creffield from an obscure, backwater evangelist into Prophet Joshua the Second remains a mystery. We also don't know the exact spot where the spiritual ordination occurred but – we do know that it occurred in 1903 in Corvallis, Oregon.History has shown us that trouble tends to follow in the wake of modern-day prophets and if the prophet come with an Old Testament beard and a desperate need to chase after the skirts of young women, then the trouble is sure to be multiplied and, of course, lurid and salacious, too.This particular backwoods prophet had both the beard and the taste for women, but it was said that he also had tremendous power. In fact, when he raised his voice in holy anger, as he did on one memorable occasion, the city of San Francisco shook horribly, then fell, trembling and smoking into ruin, becoming one of the greatest disasters America has ever known.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntings* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code HAUNTINGS for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/american-hauntings-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today, we finish our series on Philippians.Paul writes these final words from a prison cell — chained, uncertain, dependent on others — and yet somehow he speaks about joy, peace, and contentment. Not the kind that comes when life finally settles down, but the kind that holds steady when it doesn't. Because the truth is, most of us are still waiting for circumstances to change before our hearts can rest.In this final passage, two voices — Jimmy Cleary and Andy Rosse — help us hear the same invitation from different angles: trust God as your provider, loosen your grip on what you think secures you, and discover the quiet freedom of a life centered on Christ. Contentment isn't found in having more (or even understanding more) but in belonging fully to Him.First, we'll hear from Jimmy and then Andy.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 1, 2026, at 9:30am & 11am.

College newspapers are often on shoestring budget, and at the same time they’re a vitally important source of information — especially for their student readers. At the University of Oregon’s The Daily Emerald and Portland State University’s The Vanguard, reporters have been tear-gassed while covering immigration protests. Though reporters at Oregon State University’s The Daily Barometer have not faced that challenge, the editor-in-chief says the paper would like to be prepared for that situation if it arises. All three papers also cover stories in the community that affect the campus. Managing these competing priorities with limited resources can be a major challenge. We get more details from the editors-in-chief at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University and Portland State University: Tarek Anthony, Jenna Benson and Noah Carandanis.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Philippians.Following Jesus is beautiful in theory. But in real life, it can feel crowded out by busyness, distractions, conflict we didn't ask for, responsibilities we can't ignore, anxiety that creeps in, and sometimes just feeling stuck.Philippians 4 meets us right there.Not with hype or vague inspiration. But with a steady voice that says:Stand firm.Work for peace.Choose joy in chains.Pray instead of panic.Guard your mind.Practice what you already know.This isn't about pretending life is easy. It's about learning how to stay close to Jesus when it isn't. And the promise isn't just better circumstances. It's something deeper: to experience the peace of God, and the God of peace, right in the middle of it.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 22, 2026, at 9:30am.

In this episode of Building Billions, I break down the exact system I used to go from washing dishes in Corvallis, Oregon, to building three companies worth over $100 million each. I reveal the three-part strategy that anyone can apply: model, mimic, and master. You’ll learn why choosing the right example to follow is critical, how to duplicate proven systems, and why mastering those systems through others is the ultimate wealth multiplier. I also dive into how to turn your own skills into a scalable process by teaching others to replicate your success. This is the framework that allowed me to lead massive teams, grow companies to billion-dollar valuations, and build real wealth. If you want to shortcut trial and error, multiply your impact, and create a system that generates results long after you step back, this episode is your blueprint.Support the show: http://cardoneventures.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our series on Philippians.Paul has been calling us to humility, to work out our salvation, to count everything as loss compared to knowing Christ. And now he says something surprisingly honest: he's not there yet.That's encouraging.Because most of us know what it feels like to be in process. We love Jesus and belong to Him. But we're still battling old habits, get distracted, and are tempted to coast. There's this tension between who we already are in Christ and who we're becoming.In this passage, Paul doesn't shame us. He challenges us. He says: press on. Forget what's behind. Strain toward what's ahead. Keep moving forward.Why? Because this race actually leads somewhere. Our citizenship is in Heaven, and there is a future where what's broken in us will finally be made whole.So today isn't about guilt. It's about resolve. It's about lifting our eyes again and remembering what we're running toward.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 15, 2026, at 9:30am.

In this episode, we explore the long and deeply rooted experiences of Joe Beelart, a veteran Bigfoot researcher who has spent decades investigating some of the most active regions of the Pacific Northwest. From the forests south of Corvallis to the remote stretches of the Oregon Bigfoot Highway, Joe shares stories shaped by years of repeated visits to the same locations. His journey moves through the upper Clackamas Valley, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Skookum Meadows, and the rugged terrain surrounding Mount Hood, where patterns began to emerge over time. Through nights spent camping alone, encounters reported by others, and physical evidence found in meadows, creek beds, and old rock quarries, Joe paints a grounded and methodical picture of ongoing Bigfoot activity across Oregon and southern Washington. Join us as we follow his experiences across forests, mountains, and watersheds where something continues to leave its mark on the landscape.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our series in the book of Philippians.We've all felt the pressure to perform—to build the right resume, protect our reputation, or maintain a perfect spiritual track record. But what if all that 'gain' is actually getting in the way of what matters most? In today's message, we're challenged to see that knowing Jesus is worth more than everything else combined. Whether you're feeling 'blameless,' exhausted, or just plain broken, this is a reminder that you can experience true joy, because, in Jesus, grace is enough.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 8, 2026, at 11:00am.

Carla Hoʻā is vice president for finance and administration and chief financial officer at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. In this episode, Hoʻā joins host Melissa Farley to talk about building organizational resilience, leading through complexity, and transforming higher education through relationship-centered leadership. "The role of the CBO has changed over time... moving from a more transactional leadership to a strategic level of leadership," Hoʻā says. She emphasizes that modern higher education finance leaders must be catalysts who get out of their offices to find paths forward for their organizations. "We cannot be passive leaders in this space. We have to be catalysts for our organizations." Join us for a conversation with Hoʻā as she discusses navigating institutional scale, implementing AI in administrative systems, building trust through shared governance, and creating lasting organizational impact through people-centered leadership.

Adult Pastor Ron King continues a series on Philippians.Paul writes from prison, but his focus isn't on suffering. It's on formation. On what it looks like for ordinary believers to live faithfully in the middle of a broken world.This section of Philippians confronts a tension every Christian feels: salvation is fully accomplished by Christ, and yet we are called to actively live it out — with humility, dependence, seriousness, and joy.Paul presses the church to shine without grumbling, to reorder our lives around the interests of Jesus, and to recognize the quiet heroism of faithful partners like Timothy and Epaphroditus, who gave themselves fully to the work of Christ.You're invited to examine how you're living between grace received and glory promised.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 1, 2026, at 9:30am.

College football moves fast right now, but real leadership still takes time. This week on Y-Option, we sit down with Oregon State head coach JaMarcus Shephard to talk about the long road, the responsibility that comes with the head coach's chair, and what it means to build something real in a moment defined by change.Every episode of Y-Option is presented by our founding sponsor, 76®, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.This week's conversation features Oregon State Beavers head coach JaMarcus Shephard and a leadership journey defined by patience, purpose, and earned opportunity.Coach Shephard's path to Corvallis wasn't fast or linear. It was built through years of service, curiosity, and taking on responsibility wherever it was available--inside and outside of football. That long-game perspective now shapes how he leads a program in an era dominated by speed, noise, and transaction.We dive into how a wide range of coaching influences helped him find an authentic voice, why consistency matters more than image in the head coach's chair, and how care, discipline, and accountability coexist in his program. At the core is a belief in creating a family environment--one that moves players from serving themselves to serving each other.The conversation also explores the opportunity in front of Oregon State: a re-imagined Pac-12, a locker room with a chip on its shoulder, and a chance to build something lasting by setting a clear standard and living it daily.It's a conversation about culture, belief, and building something real--one rep, one relationship, one day at a time.Enjoy today's conversation, the national title game and by Tuesday morning the start of your off-season.
