What makes someone a great father? Biology is just the beginning.On Father's Day, Pastor Woody explores one of the most surprising ideas in Scripture — that spiritual fatherhood isn't reserved for dads. It's a calling for anyone willing to lead someone toward Jesus and walk alongside them.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 4, this message unpacks what it looks like to warn without shame, love without condition, set an example worth following, and point people back to who they already are in Christ.Whether you had a great dad, a complicated one, or no father at all — this one's for you.For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

What Actually Happens When You Get Baptized?Most of us have watched a baptism. The water, the moment, the applause. But what if there's something happening beneath the surface that most people never stop to think about?Here's something worth sitting with: repentance is the first word of the gospel. The first word out of John the Baptist's mouth. The first word of Jesus' public ministry. The first instruction after the resurrection. The first word of the first Christian sermon. Baptism is where that repentance goes public — where an inward decision becomes an outward declaration.In this message, Pastor Aaron McRae unpacks the scene in Matthew 3 where Jesus steps into the Jordan River — and what that moment reveals about three things baptism marks fresh in every believer's life: a new identity in Christ, an inauguration into life and ministry, and a living illustration of the gospel itself.Whether you were baptized decades ago or are still figuring out what you believe, this is an invitation to remember what that moment meant — and to keep living like it actually does.

Last week, the United Nations released a report on the environmental cost of artificial intelligence, giving estimates for the amount of carbon, water, and land that will likely be dedicated to powering AI in the near future. For example, the report predicts that by 2030, Artificial Intelligence could consume 3% of the world's electricity and require more water than the total amount drunk by the entire population of Earth annually.  However, experts in AI also predict that the technology will continue to become more efficient as time goes on, requiring less electricity, water and land to operate. To explain how all of this can be true at the same time, some people in the AI world have invoked the so-called “Jevons Paradox”—referring to an insight from the Victorian-period economist William Stanely Jevons, who noticed that the increased efficiency of steam engines went hand-in-hand with increased coal consumption. This morning, producer Toby spoke to Dr. Amanda Turnbull-McRae, senior lecturer in Law at the University of Waikato, about this apparent economic paradox as it relates to the future of AI.

Most of us have some version of church we've settled for. Show up. Sit down. Go home. But what if that's nowhere near what the church was actually designed to be?In Acts 2, the earliest followers of Jesus didn't just attend something — they were devoted to something. Devoted to each other. Devoted to prayer, Scripture, meals, and radical generosity. And the result? People noticed. Lives changed. The community grew — not because of a marketing strategy, but because they were genuinely becoming something different together.In this message, we explore what it looks like for a church to live into its full potential — and what's at stake when we settle for less.You'll walk away thinking about:Commitment — Some commitments require a "yes" even when you don't feel like it. What does it look like to be truly devoted to a community, not just a Sunday service?Maturity — Spiritual growth isn't a solo project. You don't become more like Jesus in isolation. Your development is connected to the people around you — and the community you're willing to stay committed to.Calling — Every person in the church is a minister. Every home is a center of ministry. The question isn't whether you have a role to play — it's whether you're playing it.This isn't a guilt trip about church attendance. It's an invitation to something far more meaningful than a weekly hour on Sunday.

Randa sits with her friend Tara McRae for one of the most real conversations Socially Loved has ever had.They get into how they met, the love stories, the career moves, the rebuilds, and the part most podcasts won't touch: perimenopause. They talk about what it actually feels like, what no one warned them about, and why believing in yourself is the only currency that holds up when everything else is shifting.Tara also leads PUMA North America and Cobra PUMA Golf, but the version of her in this conversation is the friend, the woman, the person. Not the title.This one is for the women rising through transitions and refusing to apologize for the pivot.#SociallyLoved #Perimenopause #SelfBelief #WomenSupportingWomen #LifeAndCareer #RealTalk #PodcastForWomen #PUMA

On Pentecost Sunday — the 50th day after Passover — something extraordinary happened that changed everything. God wasn't just receiving offerings that day. He was giving the ultimate gift: His Holy Spirit.In this message, we explore Acts 2 and unpack how the Holy Spirit doesn't just help the church — He is the very engine that starts and sustains it. Without Him, we simply cannot do what God has called us to do.Whether you're brand new to faith or have been following Jesus for decades, this message will challenge you to stop trying to do life and ministry in your own strength — and invite the Spirit to fill, lead, and empower you.For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

This Mother's Day message takes us into one of the most personal and powerful encounters in the Bible—Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4.A woman hiding from people.A life marked by shame, brokenness, and disappointment.A conversation that changes everything.In this teaching, we explore how Jesus breaks through cultural barriers, personal pain, religious confusion, and spiritual emptiness to offer something deeper than temporary satisfaction: living water.This message is for anyone who has: Felt unseen, stuck, or spiritually thirsty  Tried to satisfy deeper longings with temporary things  Wondered if their past disqualifies them from God's love  Needed hope that Jesus still changes lives today You'll discover: Why Jesus intentionally went through Samaria  What “living water” really means  How Jesus confronts sin with grace and truth  Why worship is about more than religion  How one encounter with Jesus transformed an entire community The woman came to the well expecting water. She left with a new identity, new purpose, and a story that pointed others to Jesus.Because a real encounter with Jesus never leaves us the same.For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

Why do we go to church—and what is it actually for?In this message, Pastor Aaron McRae challenges a common, modern assumption: that church exists to meet our personal needs, preferences, and expectations. Instead, through Ephesians 3, we're invited into something far bigger—God's eternal, global purpose for His Church.This teaching reframes church from a place we attend to a mission we join.You'll explore: Why the Church is central to God's plan in the world  What the “mystery” of the gospel reveals about unity and diversity  How the Church displays God's wisdom—not just to people, but to spiritual realities  Why a consumer mindset toward church ultimately leaves us empty  How discovering your role in the Church leads to deeper purpose and meaning If you've ever felt disconnected, disappointed, or unsure about your place in church, this message will challenge and reorient your perspective.Because the Church isn't built around us— we're invited into what God is already doing.Key Scriptures Covered: Ephesians 3:8–11  Ephesians 4:11–13  1 Corinthians 12  Romans 12  Colossians 1:19–20  Colossians 2:15  Ephesians 1:19–21  Ephesians 6:12  1 Peter 1:10  Romans 8:28  2 Timothy 1:9–10Resources & References: The Bible (NIV translation referenced throughout)  R.

What if everything you've believed about heaven is incomplete?In this message we explore a powerful biblical truth: eternity isn't about escaping earth—it's about God restoring everything.Walking through Revelation 21 and the broader story of Scripture, Pastor Aaron McRae's teaching reframes how we think about heaven, the future, and our purpose right now. The Bible doesn't end with destruction—it ends with renewal, restoration, and God dwelling with His people.If you've ever wondered what happens after we die—or how eternity connects to your life today—this teaching brings clarity, hope, and a bigger vision of God's plan.God isn't abandoning creation—He's making everything new.Primary Scriptures:Revelation 21:1–5Revelation 21:23Revelation 22:3Isaiah 11:6–9Theological & Teaching References:Eugene Peterson — Reversed ThunderDarrell W.

On this episode of American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan welcomes Stephen McRae, Farm Manager of Hartness Farm in Greenville, for a conversation about building community through agriculture and sustainable living.Since its launch in 2021, Hartness Farm has become a central part of the Hartness Living community—offering residents not just fresh, seasonal produce, but a deeper connection to the land. McRae shares how the farm has grown into a thriving, interactive space featuring raised garden beds for homeowners, a one-acre cornfield producing Silver Queen corn, and an 11-acre pecan grove that brings neighbors together each year for harvest celebrations.Doug and Stephen also discuss the farm's commitment to sustainability and local food systems, including the addition of 150 chickens providing fresh eggs and enriching the farm experience for families. The conversation highlights how hyper-local agriculture comes full circle, with ingredients from the farm making their way onto seasonal menus at Hotel Hartness.With a background that includes work at Greenville's Swamp Rabbit Café and Grocery, as well as livestock management at Greenbrier Farms—and service in the United States Marine Corps—McRae brings a unique perspective on leadership, stewardship, and the importance of reconnecting people with where their food comes from.To learn more about how Hartness Farm is redefining what it means to live, grow, and gather as a community rooted in agriculture, visit them online at https://hartnessliving.com/hartness-farm/.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

What do you actually believe about eternity?If honest, a lot of us have picked up ideas about heaven that aren't really rooted in Scripture. Maybe it's images of clouds and harps… or just the assumption that eternity is distant, unclear, or even uninteresting.But what if we've been missing something bigger?In this message, Pastor Aaron McRae wants to help us see that eternity isn't just about what happens after we die—it's about what God is doing through Jesus to restore all things.Looking at John 20 and the resurrection of Jesus, we begin to see a clearer picture:Eternity is not about escaping this world—it's about the renewal of it. And at the center of it all is Jesus.As we walk through this, I want to challenge and encourage you to consider: What does the Bible actually say about life after death?  Why does the resurrection matter for our future?  What does it mean that we will be with Jesus—and like Him?  How should our view of eternity shape how we live right now? Because when we see eternity clearly, it changes how we live today.Primary Passages: John 20:24–29  1 Corinthians 15:20–23  Revelation 21:1–5  Revelation 22:3  Hebrews 9:27  Luke 23:43  2 Corinthians 5:8  Philippians 1:23  Romans 6:3–4 Additional Biblical References: Genesis 1–2  Exodus 25–40  1 Kings 6–8  John 15:1–5  Romans 8:11  Matthew 6:10  Matthew 28:18For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

What does it actually mean when we say, “Jesus saves”?In Week 2 of What We Believe: Part 2, Pastor Aaron McRae walks through Matthew 21 and the events leading to the cross to uncover a deeper, often misunderstood truth: Jesus didn't come to save us the way we expect—He came to save us in the way we truly need.As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowds celebrate Him as King, shouting “Hosanna”—a cry for salvation. But their expectations were centered on comfort, control, and immediate rescue. Jesus had something greater in mind.This message explores the tension many of us feel today: We want relief, but Jesus offers redemption  We want escape, but Jesus calls us through surrender  We want control, but Jesus leads us to trust Through Scripture, we see that salvation is more than a moment—it's a transformation. Jesus saves us from sin, restores what's broken, and invites us into a life sustained by grace.This teaching invites you to wrestle honestly with what you believe about Jesus—and consider how that belief shapes your expectations, your faith, and your daily life.As we approach Easter, this message creates space to reflect on the weight of the cross before we celebrate the victory of the resurrection.Primary Passages: Matthew 1:21  Matthew 21–28  Matthew 27:38–50  Acts 4:12  Romans 10:9–10  Ephesians 2:4–9  1 Corinthians 15:1–2  Philippians 2:12–13Key Themes & Concepts: The meaning of “Jesus saves” (salvation, rescue, healing, deliverance)  The Triumphal Entry (Matthew 21)  The nature of sin (lostness, separation, guilt, brokenness)  Salvation by grace through faith  Ongoing transformation and perseverance in faithFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

What you believe about Jesus doesn't stay theoretical—it shapes how you live, how you respond to suffering, and how you love people who are difficult to love.In Week 1 of What We Believe: Part 2, Pastor Aaron McRae walks through John 1 and explores the doctrine of the incarnation—what it means that Jesus is fully God and fully human, and why that truth still matters in everyday life.Through both Scripture and real-life examples, this message addresses questions many people wrestle with: Who is Jesus, really?  Why does it matter what I believe about Him?  How does faith hold up in suffering, tension, and real-world relationships? You'll see how a clear understanding of Jesus doesn't just inform belief—it reshapes purpose, relationships, and the way we engage a broken world.The message also introduces four practical ways the life of Jesus reframes how we live: being present with people, moving toward brokenness, embracing humility, and faithfully sharing the hope we've found.If you've ever wondered how faith connects to real life—or what it actually looks like to follow Jesus beyond Sunday—this message provides a grounded and honest starting point.Resources & Scriptures Referenced: John 1:1–14  Colossians 1:16–17  John 3:3  Hebrews 4:15  2 Corinthians 12:9  Revelation 21:3 Additional Resources Mentioned:The Incarnation: Why God Became Human – Graham Cole Knowing God – J.I.

What does it really mean to be rich toward God? And what does Jesus have to say about the way we handle money, possessions, and our future?Today, Pastor Aaron McRae explores one of Jesus' most challenging parables in Luke 12 — the story often called the Parable of the Rich Fool. When a man interrupts Jesus with a dispute over inheritance, Jesus uses the moment to expose a deeper issue: greed, misplaced security, and a misunderstanding of what life is truly about.Through this teaching, we wrestle with an uncomfortable but freeing truth: Life is not defined by what we accumulate but by how we relate to God and participate in His kingdom.This message invites us to rethink how we approach stewardship—not as obligation, but as an opportunity to trust God and join His work in the world.You'll discover how intentional planning with our resources can lead to deeper faith, greater joy, and eternal impact.Resources: BooksThe Divine Conspiracy — Dallas WillardLuke: That You May Know the Truth — R.

In Week 8 of our James series, Pastor Aaron McRae walks through James 5:12–20 and explores one central theme: the power of words.From truthful speech to corporate prayer, from confession to restoring someone who has wandered from the faith, James reminds us that words shape lives, communities, and eternity.We live in a world filled with noise — conspiracy theories, instant reactions, and competing truth claims. But James calls believers to something radically different:Let your “yes” be yes.Pray in suffering.Praise in joy.Confess sins to one another.Restore those who wander.Pastor Aaron unpacks how suffering can strain our relationship with God and others — and how prayer is meant to anchor and restore the community. James shows us that sickness, hardship, and even wandering faith are not problems to ignore but opportunities for prayerful care and courageous love.This message challenges us to move beyond private spirituality into corporate vulnerability:Prayer that is Spirit-empowered.Confession that builds trust.Correction that restores gently.Community that refuses to isolate the weak.James closes his letter not with theory — but with action. Words that tell the truth. Words that pray. Words that confess. Words that restore.Because the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.If this message encourages you, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs restoration or prayer today.

What do you do while you're waiting on God?In James Week 7, Pastor Aaron walks through James 4–5 to uncover a counter-cultural wisdom for planning, handling wealth, and waiting on the Lord. James confronts arrogant assumptions about tomorrow, exposes the danger of wealth without surrender, and reminds us that our lives are like a mist—temporary, fragile, and fully dependent on God.This message challenges us to ask:Are my plans shaped by God's will—or my own gain?Am I storing up treasures on earth or in heaven?Am I waiting with patience—or anxiety?James doesn't condemn planning or wealth—he confronts pride, arrogance, and misplaced security. Instead of self-sufficiency, we are called to humility. Instead of hoarding, generosity. Instead of panic about the future, patient trust in the Lord's coming.Because real wisdom isn't just about making plans—it's about surrendering them.If this message encouraged you, like, subscribe, and share with someone navigating uncertainty.

In James Week 5, Pastor Aaron McRae tackles one of the most challenging and relevant issues in our everyday lives: our words. From trained animals and massive ships to raging wildfires, James uses vivid imagery to show that while humans can tame almost anything, no one can tame the tongue.Walking through James 3, this teaching reveals the sobering truth that uncontrolled speech can wound deeply, divide communities, and even shape the direction of our lives. Words are never words “just slipping out”—they reveal what is stored in the heart. Gossip, anger, careless teaching, and online speech all carry disproportionate power, especially in a world where everyone has a platform.But James doesn't leave us stuck. The tongue may not be able to be tamed, but it can be transformed. Through submission to God, repentance, wisdom, and the renewing work of Jesus, our words can move from destruction to healing, from division to reconciliation. As followers of Christ, we are called to speak life—words that glorify God, build others up, and point people toward the reconciling hope of the gospel.Resources & Scriptures ReferencedPrimary PassageJames 3:1–12James 1:26James 4:7–8Supporting ScripturesProverbs 18:21Ephesians 4:29Matthew 12:34–372 Corinthians 5:16–21Psalm 19:14Practical ToolsGood, God, Gospel Conversations https://goodgodgospel.com/For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.

Playing favorites may feel like a phase we outgrow, but James confronts how deeply partiality still shapes our lives—and our faith. In James 2:1–13, we are warned that favoritism based on status, appearance, wealth, or ideology is incompatible with faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.This teaching by Pastor Aaron McRae exposes how easily we absorb the world's habits of ranking, judging, and dividing others, often without realizing it. James reminds us that true faith is not merely held—it is lived. Faith in Jesus must look like Jesus, expressed through mercy, humility, and love for neighbor without exception.Through Scripture, cultural insight, and practical application, this message calls believers to examine their hearts, reject unconscious bias, and live under the “royal law” of love. Ultimately, James leaves us with a defining vision for Christian living: mercy triumphs over judgment.James Study Journal – Weekly Scripture readings, reflection prompts, and space to apply the teaching personally or with a group - https://hillsidechurches.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/James2026_Journal_FINAL.pdf Discussion Guide – Designed for small groups, coffee groups, or families to process the message together - https://hillsidechurches.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Discussion-Guide-1.18.26.pdf Resources & Scripture ReferencesPrimary Text: James 2:1–13Supporting Scripture-Leviticus 19:15, 18-Genesis 1:27-Galatians 3:26–28-John 1:14-John 15:12–13-Exodus 33:18–19-Ephesians 3:17–19Referenced Authors-Douglas Moo, James-Scot McKnight, The Letter of James-N.T.

What does it really mean to hear God? In James Week 2, Pastor Aaron McRae explores how genuine listening to God's Word is proven not by information received, but by lives transformed. Using the image of a hearing test, James challenges us to examine whether we are merely hearing Scripture—or actually responding to it with obedience.Walking through James 1:19–27, this message unpacks how hearing God begins with listening more than speaking, slowing our anger, humbly welcoming the Word, and intentionally putting it into practice. Pastor Aaron highlights James's warning against self-deception: when we hear without doing, we convince ourselves we're growing when we're not. True faith is not just orthodox belief but lived obedience that expresses itself in transformed character and compassionate action toward others.This teaching invites us to quiet the noise of our lives, tune our hearts to God's voice through Scripture, and respond with concrete, faithful steps. When we hear like God intends, our hearts are aligned with Him—and our lives become attentive to the needs of the people around us.ResourcesJames Study Journal – Weekly Scripture readings, reflection prompts, and space to apply the teaching personally or with a group - https://hillsidechurches.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/James2026_Journal_FINAL.pdf Discussion Guide – Designed for small groups, coffee groups, or families to process the message together - https://hillsidechurches.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Discussion-Guide-1.18.26.pdf Scripture Focus: James 1:19–27; Psalm 85:7–8Recommended Reading:James by Douglas MooJames by George M.

In James Week 1, Pastor Aaron McRae opens the Book of James by addressing one of life's hardest questions: How do we trust God in the middle of real suffering? James does not deny the reality of trials—he names them plainly—and invites believers into a new, Jesus-centered way of viewing hardship, vulnerability, and perseverance.Drawing from James 1, the sermon reframes trials as places where God forms resilience, maturity, and hope. Rather than offering clichés or quick fixes, Scripture calls us to honest faith—one that asks God for wisdom, resists despair, and clings to Jesus when suffering lingers. True faith is not proven by the absence of pain, but by perseverance shaped through it.

We live in a culture obsessed with efficiency—quick fixes, shortcuts, and life hacks that promise fast results. But what if the life God is forming in us requires something slower, deeper, and more transformative?In this message, we explore the difference between life hacks and life-giving habits, and why spiritual maturity is not accidental—it is formed through intentional rhythms, practices, and relationships over time. Using Colossians 1, Hebrews 5, and other key Scriptures, this teaching reframes Christian maturity not as doing more religious activity, but becoming fully trained in Christ for the sake of others.We examine common cultural lies about identity, truth, and independence, and contrast them with biblical habits that lead to real formation: knowing and relying on God's love, ongoing engagement with Scripture, sacrificial service, and authentic interdependence within the church. This message challenges cultural Christianity and invites us into a committed, formed, resilient faith that lasts.If you are entering a new year asking, “Who am I becoming?” or “What kind of faith do I want to build?”, this teaching offers a clear, biblical vision for spiritual growth rooted in Jesus—not hype, not shortcuts, but transformation.Resources in this SermonScripture PassagesColossians 1:21–29Hebrews 5:11–141 John 4:15–18Romans 12:1–2Philippians 3:15–181 Corinthians 3:1–3Psalm 16:11Galatians 5:22Philippians 4:4–6Books & AuthorsInvitation to a Journey — M.

They say the best revenge is living well, but if you're a pop star going through a break up, that's false. The best revenge is releasing a searing scorched-earth revenge banger that calls out your ex and, ideally, rides that vengeance to the top of the Billboard charts. That's exactly what Tate McRae and Lily Allen have done in the wake of their high profile break ups; McRae with the track “TIT FOR TAT”  and Allen with an entire album, West End Girl. On this episode of Switched On Pop, Charlie and Nate use these tracks to explore the art of the revenge song.
