Podcasts about holy moments

The Christmas story is filled with holy moments where ordinary people are invited into God's extraordinary plan. But while Mary's revelation came through a direct angelic encounter, Joseph's holy moment came quietly—in a dream, in the middle of personal heartbreak, confusion, and shattered plans. Joseph enters the Christmas story facing what feels like the worst news of his life. The woman he loves is pregnant, and he knows the child is not his. The law gave Joseph the right to expose her, shame her, and walk away. Instead, Joseph chooses compassion. Before God ever speaks, Joseph's character is already showing. But then God interrupts Joseph's pain with a holy moment—a dream that calls him to do the hardest thing imaginable: Lay down his hurt, surrender his plans, and obey God when the story makes no sense. Joseph's “yes” to God meant: Embracing a child that was not biologically his Choosing faith over reputation Bearing whispers, judgment, and misunderstanding Protecting Mary and Jesus at great personal cost Trusting God through dreams rather than explanations Joseph reminds us that some of the holiest moments in our lives are not thrilling or emotional—they are costly, quiet “yeses” in the dark. This Christmas, God may be inviting you into a similar moment. A moment where obedience feels risky… where surrender feels unfair… where trust stretches you farther than you want to go. Holy moments of surrender and obedience are where heaven meets earth—and where God births His greatest work through ordinary people. 

This Advent season, we're preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus—the Light who came into our darkness. Each candle reminds us of God's unshakable promises: Hope that never fails, Peace that arrives in humility, Joy that meets us where we are, and Love that came down to save us. All of it points to Christ—the fulfillment of prophecy and the Light of the World. As we look back to His first coming, we also look forward with anticipation to His return, when He will make all things new.Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays. We are located at 304 E.

Life is made up of moments—but some moments are holy. In our new series, “Holy Moments,” we're exploring how God steps into the ordinary and makes it extraordinary through our obedience. Joseph's simple “yes” to God changed history, reminding us that we don't need the full picture to take the first step. One moment of obedience can open the door to God's greatest work in your life—what holy moment might your obedience create?Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays. We are located at 304 E.

Sermon audio from week one of our series "Holy Moments." Sunday December 7, 2025.

Have you ever felt like you are in a sprint from Thanksgiving to Christmas? It's easy for us to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season, with its many distractions and festivities. Yet when we allow ourselves to slow down, we realize the holiest moments are the ones found in silence and communion with the Savior where we create the space for Him to reveal Himself to us. Throughout the story of the birth of Christ, the angel Gabriel brings divine revelation of world-changing news to several of God's servants. In an instant, the ordinary is interrupted by the extraordinary as Gabriel announces the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah. These angelic encounters remind us that God's plans are often revealed through surprising and unexpected means. The Creator of the universe longs to speak directly into the lives of ordinary people to fulfill His extraordinary purposes. During Advent, we are invited to listen for God's voice amid the busyness and noise of the season. Quiet moments of revelation are holy moments where heaven meets earth. 

Holy Moments: Week 2 Surrender

Holy Moments Week 1

Cam Cooksey brings faith, laughter, and raw honesty to this heartfelt Halloween edition of Flow. Broadcasting from a house full of candy, cats, and chaos, Cam opens up about spiritual renewal, prayer, and the importance of surrendering control. He reflects on how grief, pride, and worldly distractions can cloud our connection with God, and why humility and gratitude are the only way back to peace. Between stories about childhood Halloweens, family memories, and the origins of trick-or-treating, Cam draws parallels between light and darkness, fear and faith, and the divine lessons hidden in everyday life. Listeners join the conversation live, sharing personal stories and prayer requests as the chat turns into a genuine moment of community. Warm, funny, and deeply spiritual, this episode is both a Halloween hangout and a reminder that the flow of life always leads back to God.

In this new episode, I share a story that reminded me of the enormous impact small acts of kindness can have on our lives—and the lives of others.     Inspired by the book Holy Moments, I open up about a simple trip to Whole Foods with my family that turned into something much greater: an opportunity to practice generosity and witness the ripple effects of kindness. What began as a small decision to help created a holy moment—one filled with gratitude, reflection, and deeper faith.     I'll be honest—at first, I wrestled with doubt. Was I really helping the right person? Was it enough? But God showed me that the true power of generosity isn't in analyzing outcomes—it's in trusting that every act of love has meaning.     This episode is your reminder that every interaction, no matter how ordinary, carries the potential to become a holy moment. When we choose to give, to trust, and to love, we align with God's heart and create ripples that go far beyond what we can see.

Life is filled with important things that we hold near and dear: a dream, a relationship, an identity, a vice, a plan. But what happens when clinging to these things drags us beneath the waves of life storms? While letting go can be painful, it can also be the very thing that saves us and sets us free for something God wants to work in us and through us. Join us for part two of our series, "Holy Moments".

Obeying God is good, but it is also hard. Sometimes we struggle to follow God's leading, but these challenging moments can also become powerful moments in our story if we have the faith to take the next step and obedience. Join us as we kick off a new sermon series called "Holy Moments".

Sacred opportunities orchestrated by God for us to be faithful. In Christ, every moment is holy.The life of a disciple is fundamentally hearing the call of Christ and following Him.. Christ is everything and in everything. Together we learn that where we live, work, and play are all full of Holy Moments.Mark 9:14-24 (ESV)And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.” And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can'! All things are possible for one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”Matthew 8:23-27 (ESV)And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”

Homily from the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The moments are holy when the moments are His...and the moments are His when the motive is Him. When something is dedicated, it is transformed. It is elevated and becomes something more. When a moment is dedicated to God, it becomes a holy moment. Mass Readings from February 11, 2024: Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46 Psalms 32:1-2, 5, 111 Corinthians 10:31—11:1 Mark 1:40-45

Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. You can only share what you have. Holy moments are shared moments. We share like Jesus (and make moments holy) when we are generous and honest. Mass Readings from February 4, 2024:: Job 7:1-4, 6-7 Psalms 147:1-61 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23 Mark 1:29-39

Homily from the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Holy Moment is the present moment. When we live lives of distraction we cannot live lives of wonder or joy or holiness. Distraction steals life away because it takes us away from the present moment. And the present moment is the only moment that has the potential to be a holy moment. Mass Readings from January 28, 2024: Deuteronomy 18:15-20 Psalms 95:1-2, 6-91 Corinthians 7:32-35 Mark 1:21-28

Homily from the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time. Holy moments are ordinary moments reconsidered. An ordinary life is not an obstacle to a holy life. In fact, every extraordinary life is made up of ordinary moments that we choose to make into holy moments. Mass Readings from January 21, 2024: Jonah 3:1-5, 10 Psalms 25:4-91 Corinthians 7:29-31 Mark 1:14-20
