What happens when you listen and act on your intuition? A beautiful partnership and a bold collaboration begin. Today, we're kicking off a very special season—one dedicated to celebrating the women behind the book Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go. To launch the series, I'm joined by the dynamic duo who brought this project to life: Jen Pestikas and Hope Mueller. Together, they describe their collaboration as naïve joy—a blend of trust, inspiration, and the belief that something magical happens when women come together to share their stories. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the spark behind the Brave Women at Work book series, why letting go became the theme of this latest collection, the courage it takes to release old identities, roles, or expectations, and an extra-special behind-the-scenes peek at the magic that unfolded along the way. Whether you're navigating a career pivot or simply feeling the call to release something, you'll feel supported here. Stay tuned—this season is packed with stories that are honest and wildly inspiring.

We often treat money as the finish line. We chase it, measure ourselves by it, and let it shape our choices. But in doing so, we lose sight of the real question: What are we trading our money for—and is it making us truly flourish?As we live in a world that often celebrates achievement, it's easy to build wealth while unintentionally bankrupting other parts of our lives, such as our time, our energy, and our relationships. In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari sits down with Tom Shepard to unpack the frameworks and habits that can transform how you relate to money, not just to grow your wealth, but to help you flourish.Tom Shepard is the Founder and CEO of Shepard Financial and author of Money Isn't Everything, Everything Is Money.

His book introduces the Seven Financial Natures framework—a practical guide to transforming your relationship with money by valuing not just wealth, but also time, energy, and connection.Many of us follow money patterns inherited from the past, without ever pausing to ask if they align with the future we hope to create.

Joel recounts his experiences and methods, such as incorporating sermon discussions and conversational sermons, to foster a sense of community. He emphasizes the importance of covenant relationships over contracts and addresses the challenges and practices that can help cultivate a community focused on justice, reconciliation, and flourishing both within the church and the broader world.Joel met his wife Michelle at Lancaster Bible College.  After college they were church-planting missionaries in Kingston, Jamaica for one year. Since October 2002, they have served at Faith Church, first as youth/associate pastor, and then senior pastor since July 2008.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan... In this message titled Right Side Up, Pastor Benjer McVeigh walks through Luke 9:43–62 to confront the ways we often follow Jesus with an upside-down understanding of what He has truly called us to. Set in the final stretch before Jesus heads to Jerusalem and the cross, this passage reveals a series of misunderstandings among Jesus' disciples—misunderstandings that reflect the same tendencies many of us struggle with today. Despite witnessing miracles, the disciples were confused when Jesus spoke clearly about His suffering and death. They debated who among them was the greatest, attempted to exclude others doing ministry in Jesus' name, called down judgment on outsiders, and offered conditional discipleship: “I will follow you, but first…” Through these interactions, Jesus gently but firmly corrects each distorted perspective, inviting His followers to see the way of the cross not just as a theological event, but as a pattern for their lives. Pastor Benjer illustrates this point with a humorous yet sobering story about misreading a MapQuest printout in college. The story becomes a metaphor for our spiritual lives: no matter how diligently we try to “follow the directions,” if we begin with the wrong understanding of Jesus' path—if our spiritual map is upside down—we will miss what He's truly calling us to. Jesus is not looking for admirers who fit Him into their existing lives; He is calling disciples who will lay their lives down daily, just as He did. Throughout the message, Pastor Benjer identifies four common lies that keep believers from living the way of the cross: “I am the greatest,” “We are the rightest,” “It's us versus them,” and “Sure, Jesus—but first.” Each of these reflects a heart that, like the disciples in Luke 9, is still struggling to understand the radical call of the kingdom. Rather than pursuing power, tribal superiority, division, or delayed obedience, Jesus calls us to humility, unity, compassion, and full surrender. This sermon is not about trying harder or being better. It's a call to reorient ourselves to the true map of discipleship—one where Jesus leads the way in suffering, sacrifice, and resurrection life. The invitation is not simply to believe in the cross as doctrine but to embody it in daily life. Pastor Benjer urges listeners to examine whether they have truly said “yes” to Jesus without conditions, or if there are lingering “but first”s that are keeping them from full obedience. For those who are exploring faith or are not yet followers of Jesus, this message offers a clear presentation of who Jesus is: not merely a teacher or moral example, but the suffering Savior who gave His life on the cross to bring us forgiveness, purpose, and eternal life. Today is an invitation to say “yes” to Jesus—not to religion or performance, but to a relationship with the one who laid everything down for us. Recorded live at Flourishing Grace Church in Bountiful, Utah, this sermon is part of our ongoing series through the Gospel of Luke. Whether you're a long-time believer or just beginning your spiritual journey, we invite you to reflect on the direction your life is heading and whether your map is right side up.

What is one thing in your life that is keeping you from experiencing freedom, joy, and a flourishing life? If you were to remove this one “weed” in your life, how would it transform your life and help you step into your God-given potential? Christie and Allie talk about the power of identifying and removing the “weeds” in our lives that hinder our spiritual and personal growth. With vulnerability, they share their own stories of overcoming challenges, including addictions and unhealthy relationships, and the importance of a relationship with Jesus as our foundation for true transformation. They close by talking about the impact of social media and alcohol on mental health, and the hard work required to cultivate a fulfilling life.   Conversation Topics Transformation begins with identifying the weeds in our lives. A relationship with Jesus is the most powerful way to be transformed. Common weeds include addictions, unhealthy relationships, and self-destructive patterns. Sin can rob us of a flourishing life, but God's grace offers freedom. Personal stories of overcoming self-centeredness and vanity. Alcohol and social media can be significant weeds that numb our pain and hinder our growth. Tending to our lives requires commitment, wisdom, and hard work. We have the agency to make changes in our lives that can bring freedom and joy.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from Luke 9:27–36, Josh Brown, our minister to students, families, and young adults, takes us to the mountain of transfiguration and challenges us to see Jesus for who He truly is—not merely a teacher, a helper, or a comforter, but the radiant, glorious Son of God. Preaching with urgency, passion, and deep conviction, Josh reminds us that this moment in Scripture isn't just a dramatic scene from Jesus's life—it's a theological earthquake meant to realign our understanding of Christ's identity and our response to Him. The transfiguration reveals that Jesus doesn't borrow glory like Moses, He is the glory. His face shines like lightning, His clothes become dazzling white, and He stands in conversation with Moses and Elijah, the very embodiment of the Law and the Prophets, not as an equal, but as the fulfillment of everything they pointed toward. In this moment, the Father speaks clearly: “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to Him.” That command still echoes today. Josh challenges us to reflect: when is the last time we were silenced by the glory of God? Have we gotten so used to the noise, distractions, and debates of our world that we've lost our sense of awe? The disciples themselves, even after witnessing miracles, struggled to fully grasp who Jesus was. But on the mountain, in a moment of intimacy through prayer, Jesus's eternal identity is revealed. Josh reminds us that this glimpse of glory wasn't meant to impress—it was meant to prepare. The disciples would soon watch their Messiah suffer and die. And when they did, they would need to hold fast to what they saw that day: the King of glory, unveiled. Josh presses us to consider whether the Jesus we follow is too small, too safe, too familiar. A Jesus who only affirms us but never confronts us can never truly save us. If your faith feels dim, perhaps the problem isn't that Jesus is distant, but that your focus is. This message also presses into the uncomfortable but vital truth that Jesus does not come to coexist among your priorities—He comes to reign. Like Peter on the mountain, we too can fumble the moment by placing Jesus alongside the other “voices” in our life. But the Father's rebuke is unmistakable: don't just admire Him—listen to Him. Obedience is the only right response to revealed glory. The transfiguration also anchors Jesus in the full story of Scripture. Moses and Elijah don't appear to share wisdom; they appear to confirm the identity of the Son. All Scripture points to Him. And Jesus, even in glory, speaks of His departure—His coming death on the cross. The cross remains central. Glory doesn't bypass suffering; it leads into it. For us, that means we don't just stay on the mountaintop admiring the moment—we follow Jesus down into the valley, onto the mission, into the world. Josh's call to action is clear and convicting. Don't walk out of church the same way you came in. If you've truly seen the King, your life should be transformed. Share the gospel. Live differently. Stop admiring Jesus from a distance and start submitting to Him in the details of your everyday life. You're not called to simply consume encouragement—you're called to carry a cross. This sermon isn't just a reminder of who Jesus is—it's an invitation to respond. If you've ever reduced Jesus to a mascot, a motivator, or a metaphor, this message will challenge you to see Him again with fresh eyes. To behold the Son in His glory is to be undone—and to be undone is the beginning of true worship, bold obedience, and gospel transformation. Watch the full message now to encounter the Jesus of the Scriptures—radiant, ruling, risen—and be moved to worship and mission.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit Sermon Title: Die to Self, Live for Christ: Following Jesus in Luke 9 YouTube & SoundCloud Search Description (4,500 characters): In this powerful and deeply challenging sermon, Pastor Benjer leads us through Luke 9:1–27—a rich and intense section of Scripture that confronts every follower of Jesus with a fundamental question: What kind of life am I living—and what kind of death am I choosing? At the heart of this message is the call to discipleship—not just belief, not just admiration, but wholehearted following of Jesus. Through the example of the twelve disciples, the miraculous feeding of the 5,000, and Jesus' own foreshadowing of the cross, we're shown what it truly means to be a disciple: to learn from Jesus, walk in His footsteps, and embrace a life that is often uncomfortable, messy, and costly—but ultimately full of abundance and eternal purpose. Jesus begins by sending His disciples out with power and authority to proclaim the Kingdom, heal the sick, and cast out demons. And they do it. Ordinary men, empowered by Christ, stepping into extraordinary mission. But when they return and face the challenge of feeding the multitudes, they falter. They forget what they've just seen and done. They forget that Jesus is enough. And so do we. Discipleship, Pastor Benjer reminds us, is not a perfect upward trajectory. It's not about spiritual heroism or flawless devotion. It's a bumpy journey. It's full of grace and learning. And above all, it's a daily dying—dying to comfort, dying to small dreams, dying to our preferences and our endless yeses to self. Jesus makes it plain in Luke 9:23: “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” That's the call. That's the cost. And that's the invitation into the abundant life Jesus promises—not abundant in stuff, ease, or worldly success, but rich in meaning, rooted in purpose, and shaped by selfless love. Benjer doesn't hold back from applying this to everyday life: our marriages, our parenting, our ambitions, our finances, even our weekend plans. He shares honestly from his own experience as a father of children with disabilities, reflecting on what it means to dream big in God's kingdom—not in worldly achievement, but in faithfully following Christ and helping others do the same. This sermon is a wake-up call. In a world that tells us to chase comfort and say yes to every craving, Jesus speaks a better word: Say yes to me. Pastor Benjer challenges the cultural lie that Christianity is just about self-improvement or believing the right things. Jesus doesn't call us to be better versions of ourselves—He calls us to be new. And that newness comes through surrender. If you're someone who has followed Jesus but finds yourself weary, discouraged, or feeling like you've failed too many times, this sermon is for you. If you're exploring faith and wondering what Jesus really expects, this sermon is for you. And if you're a committed disciple who needs a fresh reminder that the way of Christ is both cross and resurrection, this message will stir your heart. At Flourishing Grace Church, we're not trying to create a culture of superficial faith. We're learning to die well—to die to our own way so that we might live in the fullness of Jesus' way. This message will help you take your next step, whatever that may be. Stick around until the end as Pastor Benjer invites us into prayer and response. Maybe you've held back a part of your heart, your time, your dreams. Maybe God is gently poking at something you know you need to surrender. Don't ignore it. Lean in. Say yes. And remember: when you say no to yourself, you're not saying no to joy—you're saying yes to Jesus, the only source of true life. Listen, reflect, and let this teaching sink deep into your soul.

Here is a professionally written SoundCloud description of the sermon, trimmed to under 4,500 characters (total: 4,482), while maintaining the SEO-rich keywords and clear, compelling tone for discoverability: ⸻ In this sermon from Flourishing Grace Church, Lead Pastor Benjer McVeigh explores one of the most intense and revealing moments in the New Testament: Jesus' healing of a demon-possessed man in Luke 8:26–39. This unforgettable story—often known for its strange detail involving a herd of pigs—is far more than a shocking narrative. It is a profound demonstration of Jesus' authority over darkness and his power to bring people from spiritual death to life and purpose. Benjer teaches that surrendering your life to Jesus is not a one-time decision for moral improvement—it is a radical transformation. Drawing from both Luke 8 and Ephesians 2:1–10, the message calls listeners to recognize that apart from Christ, we are spiritually dead—trapped in sin, following the world's ways, and disconnected from our Creator. But God, rich in mercy and full of love, makes us alive in Christ and gives us a new identity and mission. This gospel message isn't based on merit or behavior; it's a gift of grace received through faith in Jesus. Through this sermon, we are challenged to see ourselves in the man from Luke 8—isolated, broken, and lost until Jesus steps into our story. The man is not only healed, but he's restored and given purpose. Jesus tells him to return home and declare all that God has done for him. This is the call for every follower of Jesus: to not just receive salvation, but to live with purpose, proclaiming God's mercy in our words and actions. Benjer shares testimonies from historical Christian figures like Augustine of Hippo, Fanny Crosby, C.S. Lewis, and Corrie ten Boom, showing how real people from all walks of life have experienced the same transformation—moving from death to life and then into mission. Whether through dramatic encounters or quiet surrender, the pattern is the same: grace saves, and grace sends. The sermon also confronts the misconception that only the spiritually elite or morally qualified can be used by God. Pastor Benjer explains that it's often those who feel the least worthy who are the most powerfully used by God—because it's not about our strength, but about Christ's finished work. Just like the healed man who had only been with Jesus for a few hours, anyone who has encountered God's grace is already equipped to tell others what God has done. As the message concludes, listeners are invited to reflect honestly on their spiritual condition. For those feeling stuck, broken, or far from God, the invitation is simple: say yes to Jesus. He stands ready to bring you from death to life. And for those who have already surrendered to Jesus, this is a call to rediscover your purpose—to declare boldly and joyfully how much God has done for you. If you've been searching for sermons about spiritual warfare, gospel transformation, freedom from sin, and finding your purpose in Christ, this teaching is for you. It speaks to seekers, skeptics, and believers alike. Whether you are new to faith, returning after years away, or simply need a reminder of the depth of God's grace, this message will meet you where you are. Let this teaching renew your heart, challenge your assumptions, and ignite a deeper passion for living in the freedom and calling that Christ has secured for you. Jesus brings us from death to life—and into purpose.
