Podcasts about defiant joy

The opening verses of 1 John invite us into something life-changing—fellowship with God and with one another. In this message, Paul Maughan unpacks how true joy is found not in isolation but in shared life with Christ and His people—a beautiful link to our Defiant Joy series.

In this message, Paul Maughan unpacks the joy of being led by the Spirit of God. As Romans 8:14-17 reminds us, we are not slaves to fear but adopted as God's children, heirs with Christ. Discover how the Spirit's guidance brings freedom, assurance, and deep joy in our walk with God.

This week, Paul Maughan unpacks what it means to find joy in Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith. As we continue exploring joy in the Triune God, we look to Christ—the one who endured the cross for the joy set before Him.

This week, Kyle Peters reminds us that God is, above all, a Father—relational, life-giving, and full of love. Through the Spirit, we're invited into a relationship with Him, a Father who not only loves us but enjoys us. Discover the joy of being known and loved by God.

This week, Paul Maughan kicks off the Defiant Joy series by exploring Psalm 16:11, showing that true joy is found in God's presence. But this joy doesn't come easily—it takes a determined effort to seek Him amidst life's distractions. Be encouraged to draw closer to God and find the lasting joy He promises.

Lead Pastor, Jordan Lumbard, continues the series talking about how there is a truth that Christians live from that allows us to still have Joy in the face of unexpected circumstances.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon wrapped up our Summer sermon series, Defiant Joy: A Study Through Philippians, with Paul's closing message to the church at Philippi. When we study Paul's life and church history, it is evident that the Gospel is always moving along relational lines. Through Paul's relationship with the Philippians we see the Gospel being carried out because of their sacrificial commitment to Jesus and His Kingdom, long, loyal relationships to one another, and generous partnerships to promote the movement. Paul's life of mission was a response to the love that saved him, and he calls us to respond in the same way, giving everything we have for the sake of the Gospel.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our Summer sermon series, Defiant Joy: A Study Through Philippians, by unpacking the beginning of Chapter 3. Here, Paul delivers insight into his own transformation of faith and highlights how we can follow his example of being thoroughly converted. Being thoroughly converted calls us to take all of our broken pieces and direct them towards the person of Jesus, trusting that in Him we will one day be made whole.

This Sunday, Pastor Suzy continued our Summer sermon series, Defiant Joy: A Study Through Philippians by teaching on the last section of Chapter 2.

Oh hello! Mel's brother's wedding was the weekend before she moved her whole house and family and life. In other words, things are nuts over here! So you get an encore of A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest! Or, as we're calling it, 50 Shades of Twilight: A Tale of Teenage Stockholm Syndrome. Full disclosure, we didn't necessarily *like* this book, but we cannot wait to give you a hilarious after-school special about why we didn't. We present a *very special episode* about what the kids are reading these days.  Self Love Recommendations:  - Watch Big Little Lies on HBO or something else where talented people are slaying the game.  - Listen to the last 15 minutes of The Ringer's Binge Mode. In the final episode there's a beautiful oration about not being ashamed for your interests and escapism. Plus, best friends gush about each other, which you know we LOVE!  Episode Notes:  If you like excellent vampire tales, be sure to check out American Vampire wherever you get your comics! Scott Snyder is the main writer and they've had arcs with Stephen King and more.  And quick *CORRECTION* from this episode, "women in refrigerators" or "getting refrigerated" began in the 90's with Green LANTERN, not Green Arrow. Either way, I think we can all agree that ladies should be fully formed characters instead of merely plot devices, right? Thank goodness even mainstream comics have seen the light since then!   Make sure to check out Mel's new podcast https://bonkers-romance.captivate.fm/listen (Bonkers Romance)!  Subscribe! Rate!
