Ever wonder what it really means to grow in your faith?In this honest and grace-filled conversation, Pastors Dave and Jeff sit down to unpack what spiritual maturity looks like—and what might be holding you back. This isn't a lecture—it's a real talk about the journey from surface-level faith to a deeper, more authentic walk with Jesus.We explore questions like:Why do I still feel stuck in my faith?What does maturity actually look like?How can I grow without falling into religious performance?Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this discussion is here to encourage you, challenge you, and help you take your next step forward.

Is expecting a “heavenly reward” the same thing as the prosperity gospel?In this episode of the podcast, we explore what the Bible says about heavenly rewards and why living with an eternal perspective changes everything.When life is hard, obedience feels costly, and your faith goes unnoticed—God sees it all. The pain you endure and the faithfulness you choose are not wasted. There is a purpose beyond the temporary, and Scripture promises that eternal rewards in heaven are waiting for those who don't give up.If you've ever wondered, “Is it worth following Jesus?” or “Does God reward us for staying faithful?”—this episode will encourage you to live for what matters most.

Альбом Threads - Нити хорош своей полнотой, ведь обычно альбомы длятся 45-60 минут, а этот двойной 1 час 18 минут. Девять плюс девять композиций. Три оригинала лидера (один попадает в мой плейлист, как лучший трек альбома) и разные исполнения джазовых тем - стандартов.Вторая фишка это разнообразие инструментов и музыкантов. Лидер играет на пианино и органе. Сразу замечу, что на органе очень хорошо он отрабатывает басовые ноты. Есть треки где орган и контрабас играют совместно свои партии. Кроме барабанов, есть перкуссионисты и конги. Кроме традиционного саксофона и тромбона, есть гитара и она зажигает не только блюз, но порой и #bebop В основном это мейн-стримовый джаз, который я обозначаю просто #jazz Очень порадовали медленные композиции, где прослушиваются струнные. Альбом хорошо подойдет для отдыха и фоновой музыки, поэтому можно добавить еще один хэштег #loungeЭтот проект отдает дань уважения некоторым нитям, которые сплели гобелен моей музыкальной жизни. Включение всех нитей было бы монументально огромным проектом, поэтому я привел здесь небольшой пример этих нитей.Все музыканты на этих записях играют роль в том, кем я являюсь как музыкант и как личность. Я считаю их частью своей музыкальной семьи и люблю их всех. Спасибо всем за то, что вы привнесли свою чудесность в этот проект. Каждая песня в этом проекте имеет для меня особое значение по-разному и была частью моего развития. Я начал свою профессиональную карьеру, играя на органе Hammond B3, и это остается нитью в том, как я подхожу ко всей своей музыке, поэтому мне пришлось включить ее в этот проект.Я хочу поблагодарить мою мать и отца за то, что они всегда поддерживали мои музыкальные начинания, мою жену Кэтрин за то, что она была моей музой и любовью всей моей жизни, и моих детей за то, что они приносили радость в мою жизнь. Мне повезло иметь много наставников и учителей, которым я очень благодарен. Ray DeFade Sr., Benny Benack Sr., Jerry Lucarelli, John Slate, Joe Negri, Bobby Negri и другим, кого я, возможно, забыл, надеюсь, я заставил вас гордиться. И последнее, но не менее важное: я хочу поблагодарить MCG Jazz: Marty Ashby, Renée Govanucci, Jay Dudt, David Sykut и всех сотрудников, которые внесли свой вклад в то, чтобы это произошло. - Max Leake.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1777535905Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 8 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor
