Coming from Farra di Soligo, Italy, Nancy shares a refreshing reflection on what it means to live from the Father's rest while remaining fully engaged in His work. Drawing inspiration from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, she explores the powerful phrase, “keeping holiday in the midst of our working day,” and reveals how mature sons learn to live from inward fellowship rather than outward striving. Against the backdrop of Italy's rolling vineyards, Nancy unpacks the difference between escaping responsibility and carrying the atmosphere of God's presence into every assignment. This episode is an invitation to embrace the fullness of His life, learning to work from His pleasure, rest in His presence, and remain seated with Him even in seasons of great activity. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

Join us as Kevin Jamison continues our sermon series, Life Together: A Study in Romans 12-16, by exploring God's vision for his people and what it truly means to be the church. In Romans 12:14,17-21, we see Paul explore the idea of responding to wrongdoing with goodness and mercy rather than revenge. We're encouraged to live peacefully with others, trusting God to handle justice, overcoming evil with good.
This episode wraps up the conversation between Tim, Joel, Judy, and Mulu. The Lintons describe the amazing Sundays their church family spends together, which run from the crack of dawn until the night. Their ministry is “organic,” focusing on making disciples of Jesus Christ who go beyond the superficial. The church in Yilan County, Taiwan is all about living life together, just like Bonhoeffer wrote about in Life Together. Along the way, they also talk about the ins and outs of worship music and the merciful discipline of children.The first part of this interview is here.

Join us as Dalton Deffenbaugh explores Romans 12:3-8 and how, continuing the idea of living sacrifices, Paul paints a portrait of self-sacrifice as loving service of others with our gifts. As we learn to think humbly about ourselves and faithfully steward what God has given us, we discover the beauty of a body built up through grace-filled service.
God's Kingdom is coming whether we join in or not—but we've been invited into the work.Through stories of God's work in India, we were reminded what it looks like to follow Jesus at great cost, live life together on mission, and bring the hope of Christ into the broken places around us today.
If you've ever bought a planner and you just can't seem to stick to it. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, constantly behind, or like everyone else somehow got the instruction manual for life except you — this episode is for you. One of my most asked questions is ‘Steph, how do you do it all? How do you plan your week? How do you have everything running so smoothly?’ From the outside, it looks like everything does run smoothly. But to be honest, it hasn’t been easy. I've had to go through trial and error to create the systems that work, because in reality I’m a hot mess, and the way my brain works is very different. In this episode I share: I’m breaking down the exact planning system that keeps my life, business, kids, and chaotic brain functioning without completely falling apart. I talk brain dumps, priority blindness, Google Calendar hacks, the “top three + quick three” method, meal planning, habit tracking, and why your planner should work with your brain, not against it. I’ll also share how I use AI and automation to save hours every week (including the AI assistant I built called Dobby), why your nightly “handover document” might change your life, and the reason most planners fail people with messy minds. Because getting organised isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about building systems that make life feel lighter. … Episode Links: Submit your Hot Mess Hotline question here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUnWTcPntVMCQrdu2wSFqFHEnQkggznr_23Ux9zDBNvlh78g/viewform?usp=publish-editor Shop 2026 Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planners Shop Planner Stickers: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/sticker-packs Shop Magnet Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planner-magnets Shop Highlighters: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/magnetic-markers/products/pastel-highlighter-pack Steph’s Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/justanothermummyblog/list/17TTU785IMM53 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Life Together (Acts 2:42-47) Pastor Clint Hamilton
What does genuine Christian community actually look like?In this episode of 2414, Pastor Dan and Shane continue the conversation on St. Luke's 1-2-3 Challenge by focusing on “Gather: In Life Together.” From learning names and sharing meals to building trust through ordinary conversation, they explore why Christian fellowship is formed through consistent, everyday presence — not just major life moments.The episode moves from personal highs and lows, parenting struggles, and an absurd “Wheels vs. Doors” trivia game into a deeper discussion on friendship, vulnerability, and why modern Christianity can drift toward isolation and individualism.Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, the conversation emphasizes that meaningful relationships are usually built slowly:“We share names before we share burdens. We share the boring parts of life before we share the big things.”Topics include:• Why the mundane matters in friendship• Introverts, extroverts, and practical connection steps• Why consistency builds trust• The danger of isolated Christianity• Summer Nights, meals, check-ins, and shared rhythms• How “training wheels” habits help create real community• Building belonging through ordinary life togetherThe 1-2-3 Challenge invites every person at St. Luke's to take two intentional steps in each of three discipleship areas:Gather.

LIFE TOGETHER Acts 2.42-47 Gordon Dabbs, PhD At Pentecost, front and center, there was; • A community • A shared life MOVEMENT 1 - Devotion Over Casual Acts 2.42 (ESV) They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. We want spiritual depth… but we structure our lives for spiritual convenience. We want community… but we keep God's people at arm's length. A Spirit-filled church is not built on hype. It's built on habits. MOVEMENT 2 - Awe That Changes Everything Acts 2.43 (ESV) Awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. When the Father's grip on us is tight. . . our grip on the other stuff loosens. A Spirit-filled church is a generous church. MOVEMENT 3 - A Life That Speaks Acts 2.46 (ESV) Day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes. . . They didn't just attend together. They did life together. THE EARLY CHURCH: Their shared life made the gospel visible. Not just something you hear. Something you see. We love the idea of Acts 2… until it asks something of us. Consumers attend. Committed people devote themselves. We think church is about what we get. God says it's about who you become—together. Let's lean in. Let's devote ourselves. Let's live this life together.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise
Join us as Kevin Jamison begins our new series, Life Together: A Study in Romans 12-16, by exploring God's vision for his people and what it truly means to be the church. In Romans 12:1-2, we'll see how the mercy of God forms the foundation of our life together — shaping us into a community that resists both idealism and cynicism, and is instead transformed by the story of Christ into a people marked by love, worship, and redemption.Scripture: Romans 12:1-2Pastor: Kevin Jamison
Coming from Neuland, Paraguay during Nancy's first time hosting a Cross Encounter in the Chaco Region, this episode reflects on the richness of true Christian community and what it means to live as “debtors to all people.” Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, Nancy unpacks the difference between soulish, man-made fellowship and the divine reality of community born out of Christ Himself. She reminds listeners that true brotherhood is not built on personality, preference, or emotional need, but solely on what Jesus Christ has done in and through His people. This episode is a call to reject counterfeit community, receive deeply of the Father's love, and allow His life to produce genuine connection, humility, and spiritual richness among His people.

Life Together 3: Philippians 2:1-11 The Christ Hymn Our lives should follow the pattern of Jesus' life. He left Heaven, becoming nothing, being obedient and humble so that when he is raised up and exalted, we too can live a life in this shape. Jesus didn't teach us how to live; he taught us how to die so that God can exalt us too. When we live this way, we automatically put the interests and care of others above care and exaltation of self. Christ-like communities are therefore rooted in humility and one another-ness.

This week, we continued our series on Life Together. Looking at Philippians 2 and Hebrews 10, we discussed four values that are fundamental to our spiritual family: Confrontation, honor, accountability, and purity. We do not commit to each other because people are perfect, we commit because Jesus is worthy, and love is how Christ is formed among us.

This powerful exploration of Romans 12:13-21 challenges us to examine what it truly means to live as a Christian community in a world that operates by completely different principles. We're confronted with a radical call to hospitality that goes beyond surface-level niceties—it's about creating a hospital for broken souls, a place where the spiritually sick can find healing. The message takes us through increasingly difficult commands: contributing to the needs of fellow believers, blessing those who persecute us rather than cursing them, rejoicing with those who rejoice (which can be harder than weeping with those who weep), and living peaceably with everyone. The ultimate blessing we can offer someone isn't material prosperity but their salvation, while the ultimate curse is wishing eternal separation from God upon them. Through compelling stories like Louis Zamperini's forgiveness of his Japanese tormentor and a simple act of restaurant hospitality that led an entire Iranian family to Christ, we see that these aren't just lofty ideals—they're transformative practices that can change eternity. The key insight is that this supernatural response to persecution and conflict isn't natural; it requires us to be transformed by renewing our minds through God's Word, presenting ourselves as living sacrifices rather than conforming to worldly patterns of retaliation and self-protection.**Sermon Notes – Romans 12:9–21 (esp. 13–21)** **Big Idea:** Because of God's mercy (Rom 12:1–2), believers must live out a radically different, Christ-shaped love inside the church and out in the world—overcoming evil with good.---### 1. Radiating Circles of Christian Life - Romans 12–13 moves from: - **Heart/character** (vv. 9–12) - **Church life** (vv. 10–13) - **Culture/enemies** (vv. 14–21) - **Civil government** (13:1–7) - Christianity is an inside‑out transformation.---### 2. Life Together in the Church (v. 13, 15–16) - **Hospitality (v. 13)** - “When God's people are in need, be ready to help…eager to practice hospitality.” - Root: “hospital” – caring for the hurting; the church is a spiritual hospital. - Biblically required of elders and deacons (1 Tim 3; 1 Pet 4:9 – “without grumbling”). - **Rejoice / Weep (v. 15)** - Sympathy: “I see you in the hole.” - Empathy: “I'll climb into the hole with you.” - Easier to weep with others than to rejoice when they're blessed. Older brother in Luke 15 failed here. - **No partiality (v. 16; James 2:1–4)** - Don't favor the rich, ignore the poor. - Cross levels all distinctions: Jew/Greek, slave/free, male/female. ---### 3. Response to Persecution & Evil (vv. 14, 17–21) - **Bless, don't curse (v. 14)** - Ultimate curse: wishing someone's damnation. - Ultimate blessing: praying for their salvation and forgiveness. - Jesus (Luke 23:34) and Stephen (Acts 7:60) model this. - Louis Zamperini's forgiveness letter: supernatural, not natural. - **No vengeance (v. 19)** - “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” - Our weapon is love and trust in God's justice, not self‑defense or slander. - **Overcome evil with good (vv. 20–21)** - Feeding enemies heaps “burning coals” of conviction. - Story of David Nasser's family: simple, persistent hospitality led an entire Muslim family (and then thousands) to Christ.---### 4. The Cost & Contrast (vv. 9–21) - These commands are **Christianity 101**, yet humanly impossible without Christ. - Reversing them (hypocritical love, clinging to evil, repaying evil, hating all) shows the misery of a self‑centered life. - We must **pour out** what God pours in; otherwise we become like the Dead Sea—full, but dead.---### Practical Applications 1. **Practice hospitality this week**: invite someone from church or work for a meal or coffee; plan ahead and give your “time,” not just stuff. 2. **Bless an “enemy”**: intentionally pray good for someone who wronged you; if possible, serve them tangibly. 3. **Rejoice on purpose**: celebrate a friend's promotion or blessing—verbally affirm them, fight jealousy. 4. **Check your partiality**: notice who you avoid (poor, awkward, different); greet and sit with them. 5. **Renew your mind (Rom 12:2)**: read Romans 12 daily this week; ask, “Where does my life not match this chapter?” ---### Discussion Questions 1. Which command in Romans 12:9–21 feels most impossible to you right now? Why? 2. How have you personally experienced life‑giving hospitality from other believers? 3. What's the difference between blessing an enemy in words vs. from the heart? 4. Where are you tempted to show partiality in church or community? 5. What specific mindset must change for you to “overcome evil with good” in a current conflict?
This week, we continued looking at Acts 2 and discussed our community value for sharing life together. Sharing life is less about adding more to our lives, but simply inviting people into the things we already do. This creates natural opportunities for connection, relationship, and discipleship.

In this Here We Go episode of Tent Talk, Nancy shares from the Netherlands after safe travels from Edinburgh, reflecting on the deep value of Christian community and the reality of life together in Christ. Drawing from Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, she speaks about the priceless gift of true fellowship among believers—not as a sentimental ideal, but as a divine reality made possible only through Jesus Christ. As she prepares for meetings, ministry, and fellowship in the days ahead, Nancy reflects on how the Father is putting His house in order, moving His people beyond isolation, disorder, and false ideas of community into the living reality of His body. This episode is a call to treasure what Christ has made possible between His people. Nancy reminds listeners that we belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ, and that the deeper true community becomes, the more everything else fades except Him. With tenderness and clarity, she points to a growing hunger for the real Body of Christ—not a religious fantasy, but a spiritual fellowship born of Him alone. Whether alone, among friends, or in the thick of opposition, listeners are encouraged to let the Lord love them deeply, to live richly in inward fellowship with Him, and to move with Him as He brings forward the house He has always desired.

In this Here We Go episode of Tent Talk, Nancy records from Edinburgh, Scotland, sharing a glimpse into her travel with Tina Kelly and a two-day working retreat set in the heart of the city's historic Royal Mile. As she reflects on the beauty of Scotland, the purpose of strategic travel, and the unfolding work of God across nations, she also turns listeners toward the deeper realities of discipleship—how grace must train us, how we need the same “butter and honey” that nourished Jesus, and how true fellowship with other believers is meant to strengthen and prepare us, not isolate us. Drawing from Titus 2, Isaiah 7, and Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Nancy reminds us that times of gathering are precious, but they are also meant to ready us to live as Christ did—sent into the world, among people, carrying His life with clarity, strength, and purpose.
