TODAY'S LESSONLet me tell you something bold: the Church is not a building you go to. It's not Sunday service, a worship playlist, or a pulpit. The Church is a living, breathing organism—the Body of Christ. And here's the kicker: if you belong to Jesus, you're part of it.Paul doesn't leave room for debate. He says, “You are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” That means God hardwired you with a purpose. You are not filler. You are not an extra in the background of someone else's story. You are a vital piece of God's Kingdom puzzle.But here's the tragedy: too many believers live like spectators. They consume church instead of being the Church. They sit in pews but never step into purpose. And when you check out, when you withhold the gifts God placed inside you, the whole Body suffers. It's like trying to run a marathon with one leg asleep—it doesn't work.This is spiritual war, and God never drafts benchwarmers. You have a role. Your gifts, your experiences, even your scars—they're weapons in God's hand for the good of His people and the advance of His Kingdom.Don't believe the lie that you're not needed. That's the enemy talking. The truth is: the Church can't be whole without you.

Maps, Mountain Lions, and the Larger Story Season Five kicks off with Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings reflecting on where the journey has taken them—and where it's going next. Surrounded by memorabilia, laughter, and memories, they introduce the guiding theme for this new season: understanding the larger story through the lens of maps, spiritual reality, and the battle between light and darkness. From tales of mountain lions in Montana to metaphors pulled from The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, this episode invites listeners to reframe how they see their lives—not as random or isolated, but as part of a greater narrative shaped by love, war, and redemption. Michael and SJ emphasize the centrality of the heart in that story, the importance of spiritual awareness, and the need to know where you are and where you're headed. This season, the podcast will explore Zoweh's Map of the Larger Story, offering listeners tools, truth, and orientation to help them navigate life in both the physical and spiritual realms. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Never Alone: Finding Your Place in God's Family, Part 2Series: Unveiled Scripture: Mark 3:13-35 Episode: 1419 Scripture Summary:  In Mark 3:13-35, Jesus appoints the twelve apostles, choosing them to preach, cast out demons, and be with Him. As His ministry grows, so does opposition. Some accuse Him of being possessed by Beelzebul, claiming He casts out demons by satanic power. Jesus refutes them with a parable about a kingdom divided, warning against blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which He says is an unforgivable sin. Meanwhile, His family tries to restrain Him, thinking He's lost His mind. When told His mother and brothers are outside, Jesus declares that those who do God's will are His true family. Key themes include spiritual authority, the unforgivable sin, and the redefinition of family through obedience to God.

In this episode of Roompact's ResEdChat, join our host Noah and guest Emma Grupe, Resident Director at Miami University of Ohio, to talk about the field and what it looks like to enter Residence Life without a degree in Student Affairs.

How do we do a job while learning how to do it at the same time? Join Noah and Emma as they tackle these questions and share stories and advice for new Residence Life Professionals. 

In a region filled with churches, it's easy to think of church as just another building or event, but Scripture calls us to something deeper. We are not simply attendees; we are the living, breathing body of Christ, each uniquely gifted and called to belong, not just to show up. The New Testament uses powerful metaphors—temple, bride, family, and body—to describe who we are together. Today, we focused on what it means to be the body of Christ, drawing from Paul's letter to the Corinthians, a diverse and sometimes divided community much like our own.Corinth was a bustling, multicultural city, and the church there reflected that diversity. Paul wrote to them because, like any group of people, they struggled with division, pride, and feelings of inferiority. He reminded them—and us—that the church is not an organization but a living organism, made up of many different parts, each essential and uniquely gifted by God. Spiritual gifts are not for personal status or self-fulfillment, but for the building up, healing, and encouragement of the whole body. When we use our gifts, we bring comfort, guidance, and even healing to others, as seen in the story of Debbie, whose wounds were met with love and service from people she barely knew.Yet, just as a physical body can get sick, so can a church. Paul warns against the dangers of comparison—feeling inferior because our gifts seem less important, or feeling superior and looking down on others. Both attitudes fracture the unity and beauty of the body. Instead, we are called to mutual appreciation, to honor every part, and to recognize that God has placed each of us exactly where we are for a reason. No one is here by accident. Whether you're making coffee, praying behind the scenes, or leading from the front, your role matters deeply. The health and witness of the church depend on each person stepping into their God-given purpose.As we look ahead to opportunities like Servapalooza, let's remember: we are made for more than just attending or making payments—we are made to serve, to love, and to shine the light of Christ together. When every part does its work, the body is healthy, the bride is beautiful, and the world sees Jesus in us.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:00] - Celebrating Baptisms and Life Change[03:00] - The Abundance of Churches in Our Area[05:00] - We Are Not in Competition—One Kingdom[07:00] - What Is the Church?

Drawing from Matthew 9:36-38, Apostl reminded us that we are not called to merely attend church but to be the church. Unlike agriculture where harvest is the end of labor, in the Kingdom, harvest marks the beginning of labor.Here are some highlights from the message:

Sunday Morning Message - "Belong to His Family: Finding Your Place in God's House"In this message from August 10, Pastor Kyle talks about the importance of being an active part of our church community focusing on our church's vision of "Helping People Find Hope" and our mission to Know His Presence, Belong to His Family, and Live Your Purpose. The message highlights our NXT10 Strategy, celebrating our progress and outlining goals for 2033. The key focus of the message is the significance of joining small groups to foster a sense of family within our larger church body.

Small things can have a big impact. A simple "Hello" tied to a smile can change someone's day. A well-timed compliment or "Thank you" can encourage someone when their heart is feeling down. A small seed can grow into a flower, a bush, even a tree. God's kingdom sometiems appears small. It sometimes looks to be insignificant, but God causes it to grow and grow and grow. He causes it to grow in people's hearts. He causes it to grow through the work of the church. He causes it to grow as you love, care for, encourage, and speak to others. It may seem small, but it has a big impact.Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus! Facebook | YouTubeInstagram @dscsienna

Hey team! Our guest today is Dr. Otito Iwuchukwu, who is here to talk about the emotional and psychological aspects of belonging and how it impacts our day-to-day lives. Dr. Iwuchukwu has a Master of Arts in Organizational Psychology from the College of Psychology and Counseling, a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, with a specialization in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, from Temple University, and is currently an Associate Professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Her scholarly contributions appear in a range of peer-reviewed and indexed publications and have been presented at numerous research meetings and symposia across the world. Additionally, Dr. Iwuchukwu has recently written The Belonging Paradox, a book that presents a new way to understand belonging as an adaptive journey rather than a static destination. In this episode, we talk about why belonging is a dynamic, ongoing process, not a fixed state, and how we can create more inclusive environments for ourselves and others. We'll also discuss how masking impacts our sense of belonging, the role boundaries play in maintaining our authenticity, and the importance of giving ourselves and others grace. If you've ever struggled with finding your place, especially in social settings or work environments, you'll find practical tools in this conversation for navigating those tough moments.

Belonging isn't a fixed state, but an ongoing process that changes with both your internal state and the external environment. Recognizing this can help you manage expectations and frustrations when your sense of belonging fluctuates. 2. Recognize that you don't have to belong to every group, and not all groups are meant for a deep, personal connection. Don't force yourself to belong in every situation; if a group or environment doesn't feel right, it's okay to step back. 3. You don't have to be liked by everyone. Instead, it's important for us to focus on finding spaces where we can truly belong. It's about finding authentic connections, not chasing superficial acceptance.

Message from Pastor Adam Bishop on July 20, 2025

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to belong? Drawing from the powerful story of Michael Oher in "The Blind Side," this powerful message explores our fundamental human need for connection and how the church fulfills that longing as a spiritual family.The speaker unpacks Jesus's remarkable promise in Mark 10:28-31, where followers who sacrifice relationships for His sake receive "a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children." This isn't metaphorical—it's a tangible reality that believers experience through their church family. While following Christ may involve loss and even persecution, the spiritual family gained is worth infinitely more.Looking at the early church model in Acts, we see believers sharing meals, possessions, and lives together, truly becoming "of one heart and mind." This close-knit community stands in stark contrast to our modern tendency toward isolation and independence. The message challenges us to move beyond Sunday-only relationships and create intentional connections that mirror family bonds.The heart of belonging comes through treating fellow believers as family—older members as parents, peers as siblings. Like the Tuohy family who didn't just provide Michael Oher with temporary help but fully embraced him as their own, we're called to fully incorporate others into our lives. When major life events occur—births, deaths, illnesses, celebrations—church family shows up, providing support that reflects Christ's love.Ultimately, true belonging begins with a relationship with Jesus. If you're seeking connection and purpose, take that first step toward the family that will never abandon you. In God's household, as Ephesians 2:19 reminds us, we are "no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people." Welcome home.

Whether your relationship with your father was beautiful, broken, or somewhere between, we all carry father wounds that shape how we experience love, security, and belonging. For some, the phrase "God is Father" brings immediate comfort; for others, it triggers confusion, distance, or even fear. What if understanding the Father heart of God could transform these broken places?In this series, Elizabeth Gunter Powell and Kimberly Roddy gently guide us through this healing journey, sharing their own unique experiences with their fathers and how those relationships continue to impact their understanding of God's fatherly love. Sylvia Gunter also shares her story of how abandonment by her father created a "daddy hole" that even wonderful surrogate fathers couldn't fill completely and her journey to understand that God is her true Father. As we revisit this powerful message, we discover God not as a reflection of our earthly fathers but as the perfection of everything we've longed for—unwavering presence, complete acceptance, and unconditional love. Whether you've walked this path before or are taking your first steps, God has something fresh to reveal about his heart toward you.Join us for this deeply personal exploration of what it means to be truly safe in the Father's heart. Get your copy of the book and study guide at thefathersbusiness.com and begin your journey from abandonment to belonging, from hiding to being fully seen and loved.

Who are the “Redshift Wranglers” and what can they tell us about the evolution of our universe? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome back astrophysics PhD candidate Sadie Coffin from the Rochester Institute of Technology whose focus is galactic evolution, and in particular, the spectroscopy of galaxies and their lights. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the Lucy spacecraft fly-by of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, which was named after the American paleoanthropologist who discovered the Australopithecus afarensis “Lucy” fossil the spacecraft was named after. Then it's time to learn a little about Sadie, who explains how questioning the unknown is what drove her to study astronomy. Chuck, Allen and Sadie talk about the awe embodied in the study of the universe and the universe itself. Like Chuck, Sadie studies galaxy evolution, but Sadie focuses on a galaxy's light, spread into spectra, and dissecting different features in that light. You'll hear about the citizen science project called “Red Shift Wranglers” that helps Sadie sift through all the spectroscopic data, and get an awesome explanation of the doppler effect and the way red shift, which measures speed, can be used to help build better maps of galactic evolution. Find out how you can get involved with the project and join the ranks of the 3,500 Redshift Wranglers who've participated so far in “Wrangling galaxies and the universe together.” (See below for links.) You'll also hear about other citizen science projects on Zooniverse like Galaxy Zoo. Sadie talks about the value of non-experts engaging with experts in a community, and the surprising number of people who want to get involved. For our first audience question, Nina asks, “If nothing can go faster than the speed of light, why can galaxies have Z greater than 1?” Sadie's explanation gets pretty technical, so we'll let her do it in the episode. Our next question comes from Jerry, who asks, “Will we someday no longer need scientists and have AI do all our research?” Sadie, who gets similar questions all the time relative to citizen science, believes these two things can be complimentary, and that in the name of improving science we can't forgo either for the other. We finish with a discussion about what defines an act of science and a work of art, the process of questioning, and the roles of humans and machines in these processes. Plus, Sadie tells us about the science-themed travel posters by Dr. Tyler Nordgren on her walls. Chuck also gets Sadie to talk about rowing and the lessons she's taken from the sport into other aspects of her life and journey as a scientist. If you'd like to know more about the Redshift Wrangler project on The Zooniverse and get involved, or to reach Sadie, visit https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/jeyhansk/redshift-wrangler or find Redshift Wrangler on Facebook and X (Twitter).   Listen to the COSMOS project episode referenced in this show with Dr. Jeyhan Kartaltepe, an astronomer and professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media, seeing others with your same diagnosis seemingly thriving while you struggle to get out of bed? That gnawing feeling of "why them and not me?" isn't something we talk about enough in the chronic illness community.The Spoonie Sisters dive deep into the complicated emotions of competition and comparison that silently impact many people with chronic conditions. Hosts Jen Weaver, Andi Byers, Linnea Knisley, and Angelic Ingram share their raw, honest experiences with jealousy, anger, and the overwhelming feelings that come when we measure our journeys against others.Each sister reveals their personal turning point - from Andi's sixteen years of fighting for diagnosis validation while serving in the military to Linnea's realization that social media only shows highlight reels of chronic illness, not the full 24-hour reality. These powerful stories illuminate how comparison steals our joy and delays our healing, while community support transforms our experience.For those newly diagnosed, this episode offers priceless wisdom: focus on your own journey, give yourself grace for small accomplishments, set healthy boundaries, and most importantly, let go of yesterday's struggles to embrace today's possibilities. As Linnea beautifully summarizes, "Compete in kindness instead of competing in suffering."

As we end our “Forward” series it's time to ask the question, “What about my place in God's plan for realizing His dream for His church?” In the bible, God compares the church to the human body. As our bodies are one body with many parts, so also the church is one body of Christ with many different parts. Every believer has a place in Jesus' church and every believer has a role to fulfill. We'll learn today how we can begin to discover where our spot is in Jesus' church. When we discover our place in the body and the gifts, talents, and abilities we've been given to serve God and His people, we can be part of moving forward into God's dream for His church.
