In this message, Pastor Saul walks through the story of Jonah and challenges us to confront the part of us that runs from God, resists His calling, or struggles to love the people He loves. Our choices have consequences, and God often wants to change us before He changes our circumstances. This message is a call to stop running, say yes to God, and allow Him to transform our hearts. ---------- Welcome to the LifeHouse Church Podcast.

 August 9th | Marked By Presence | Isaiah 6:1-8 What happens when you encounter Jesus in a way that is undeniable and unmistakable?In this message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks through Isaiah 6 and the life-changing encounter Isaiah had with the holiness, glory, and majesty of Jesus. Isaiah didn't simply learn about God—he saw Him, experienced His presence, and was marked forever.When Isaiah encountered the holiness of Jesus, he became aware of his own sin. But his encounter didn't end in condemnation. Jesus met him with mercy, forgiveness, and grace. The coal from the altar became a picture of the greater sacrifice Jesus would make hundreds of years later—leaving His throne, taking on humanity, and laying down His life so that our sins could be forgiven and atoned for.And when Isaiah encountered the majesty of Jesus and experienced His mercy, his response was simple: “Here I am! Send me.”This message challenges us to examine the things competing for our affection, attention, trust, and identity. When the idols are removed and we see Jesus for who He truly is, His presence changes us. His grace cleanses us. And His glory compels us to surrender and live on mission.Jesus wants your life to be marked by His presence.Friends may reject you. People may abandon you. Culture may cancel you. But when you get a glimpse of who Jesus is, you will never be the same.Lean into His presence. Receive His grace. Surrender to His mission.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠ 

Jesus fed thousands, calmed storms, healed the sick, and still people wanted "just one more sign." Sound familiar? In Mark 8:1-13, we'll discover how easy it is to forget God's faithfulness and why true faith grows not by demanding more proof, but by remembering what Jesus has already done. Come be encouraged to trust the Savior who has never failed His people.Need Prayer? 

Minister Adrienne Daniels Nehemiah 9 Worship through the Ministry of Teaching the Word! Need Prayer or Want to Give your Life to Christ? email: prayer.request@strivinghome.org. We will pray with you or for you! Get Involved: www.strivinghome.org

In this week's episode, Phil EuBank sits down with Matt Summers to dive into Sunday's message on irreligion, agnosticism, and the widespread assumption that "good people are fine." They explore the cultural default of the Bay Area, where many people don't claim a formal religion but instead live out a form of secular humanism or moralistic therapeutic deism, hoping their good intentions and decent behavior will ultimately be enough. Phil shares a deeply moving story about pastoring through tragic loss and contrasts the world's transactional thinking with Jesus's encounter with the rich young ruler in Mark 10. Together, Phil and Matt discuss why Jesus desires our hearts rather than our moral resumes, exposing how easily even church culture can drift into busyness and performance over genuine relationship.

When God doesn't answer our prayers the way we hoped, it's easy to wonder why. In this message, Pastor Saul explores one of the hardest realities of faith: God's "no." Through the life of the Apostle Paul and other biblical examples, discover how God's grace is often revealed not by removing our struggles, but by giving us the strength to endure them. If you've ever wrestled with unanswered prayers, closed doors, or seasons of waiting, this message will encourage you to trust that God's plans are always greater than our own. ---------- Welcome to the LifeHouse Church Podcast.

Brokenness is something we all share. Broken hearts, broken relationships, broken hopes, and broken lives. In Mark 7:31-37, Jesus doesn't simply feel compassion, He restores what sin has broken. Discover the Savior who makes all things new and why He alone deserves our wholehearted trust and praise.Need Prayer? 

August 2nd | Dream Disciple  | Acts 2:47 and John 4What does it look like to live as someone who is truly sent by Jesus?In this message from the DREAM Disciple series, Pastor Peyton Coker walks through Acts 2:47 and John 4, showing how the early church and the life of Jesus reveal God's heart for reaching one more person with the hope of the gospel. You'll discover that sharing your faith isn't meant to be a burden—it's an act of worship and the adventure of a lifetime.Through Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman, this sermon challenges believers to:Live with eyes open to the people God places around them.Go through difficult conversations instead of around them.Stop making excuses and embrace God's mission.Turn everyday conversations into opportunities for eternal impact.Joyfully labor for a harvest that God is already preparing.Whether at home, at work, at school, or in your neighborhood, God has placed people in your path who need the ever-restoring life found in Jesus. After all, you were someone else's "one more"—and now God has given you a one more of your own.Be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to answer Christ's call to live sent wherever you live, work, and play.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠ 

August 2nd | Dream Disciple | Acts 2:42–47What does the life of a disciple of Jesus look like?In this message from Acts 2:42–47, Pastor Matt Darby continues the Dream Disciple series by exploring the fourth mark of a disciple: living sent out. From the very beginning, God's plan has been to reach people through His people. The early church didn't simply gather—they lived on mission every day, and the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.Looking to Jesus in Matthew 9, Pastor Matt challenges us to develop the heart of a disciple who is ready to be used by God:See the harvest with the compassion of Christ.Feel the burden through faithful prayer.Know the message by living in God's Word.Live together on mission as a Gospel-centered community.As New Beginnings enters a new season of worshiping in a tent, this temporary space becomes more than a logistical solution—it's a spiritual opportunity. The church has never depended on perfect conditions to experience God's presence. Instead, this season is an invitation to make room for One More: one more life transformed, one more family restored, one more person finding hope in Jesus.Whether you're praying for a neighbor, inviting a friend, or asking God to use your life, this message is a call to stop being a spectator and start living as someone who has been sent. The harvest is ready.

August 2nd | Dream Disciple | Acts 2:42–47 & John 4What does it really mean to live sent?In the final message of the Dream Disciple series, Pastor Daniel Norris reminds us that living on mission isn't another item to add to our spiritual checklist—it's the natural overflow of a life surrendered to Jesus.Drawing from Acts 2 and Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, this message challenges us to see people the way Jesus sees them. Sent people go where others won't, turn everyday conversations into gospel conversations, point people to Jesus, and recognize the harvest God has placed all around them.Whether it's a neighbor across the street, a coworker, a family member, or a stranger, God has positioned each of us to reflect His love and share the hope of Christ.Key Takeaways:Living sent flows from a life focused on Jesus.Sent people see others differently.Go where others won't.Turn everyday conversations into gospel conversations.Point people to Jesus.Open your eyes—the harvest is all around you.Be encouraged and equipped to step into your everyday mission and live as a disciple who is truly Sent Out.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

July 26th | Dream Disciple | Acts 2:42–47 What does it truly mean to be plugged in to the Body of Christ?In this message from Acts 2:42–47, Pastor Matt Darby continues the Dream Disciple series by exploring the fourth marker of a disciple: Plugged In. More than simply attending church, biblical community is about being meaningfully connected to a local body where you are known, loved, challenged, and encouraged to grow in Christ.Looking at the birth of the early church, Pastor Matt unpacks God's design for His people to live in authentic community—devoted to His Word, prayer, fellowship, generosity, and the mission of Jesus. Through powerful biblical imagery, he reminds us that the Church is the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, the Family of God, the Temple of the Holy Spirit, a Holy Nation, and the Flock of God. We were never intended to follow Jesus in isolation.This message challenges the mindset of "it's just me and Jesus" and calls believers to move from attendance to engagement, from anonymity to belonging, and from independence to interdependence. Whether you've experienced church hurt, struggle with vulnerability, or simply feel disconnected, you'll discover God's invitation to find healing, purpose, and identity within His people.In this episode you'll discover:Why the local church is essential to every believer's spiritual growth.What biblical community looks like in everyday life.How the gospel transforms strangers into family.Four practical steps to becoming truly plugged in: Be Known, Be Needed, Be Dependent, and Be Committed.Why God's design for your life has always included His people.The question isn't, "Do you go to church?" The question is, "Are you plugged in to the Body of Christ?"Listen now and discover how God calls us to grow, serve, and experience His presence together as His Church.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠ 

July 26th | Dream Disciple | Acts 2:42–47In Week 4 of the Dream Disciple series, Pastor Ben Lofton explores what it means to be Plugged In—living a life that is deeply connected to the biblical community of the church. Drawing from Acts 2:42–47, this message reminds us that while every person longs for connection, that longing is ultimately fulfilled through the people of God.The early church wasn't simply a group of individuals attending gatherings; they were a family united by the cross of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Their devotion to God's Word, prayer, fellowship, generosity, and one another created a community that reflected the heart of Jesus and pointed the world to Him.Pastor Ben challenges us to rethink how we view the church—not as a place we attend when it's convenient, but as the body of Christ to which we belong. Through authentic relationships, shared lives, and faithful participation, we discover that biblical community isn't something we can do—it's something we cannot do without.Whether you've never connected to a church, have experienced church hurt, or simply need encouragement to plug back in, this message is a powerful reminder that we were created for community, we grow best together, and the church is God's design for disciples who make disciples.Key Takeaway: We are created to be together, we are better together, and we become who God has called us to be when we are together.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠ 

July 26th  | Dream Disciple  |  Acts 2:42-47 and Ephesians 2:19-22 What does it really mean to be "plugged in" as a follower of Jesus? In this fourth message of the Dream Disciple Series, Pastor Kevin Connor explores Acts 2:42-47 and Ephesians 2:19-22 to show that discipleship was never meant to be lived in isolation. While devotion to God's Word and prayer are essential, they are designed to be practiced within the life of a local church.Discover how God created the Church to be more than just a gathering—it is a new community, a loving family, and the living temple where His Spirit dwells. Pastor Kevin unpacks why biblical discipleship requires meaningful connection with other believers and how God's presence transforms us as we worship, pray, and grow together.Whether you've been faithfully connected to a church or have found yourself drifting away, this message is a powerful reminder that following Jesus means belonging to His people. Learn why being "plugged in" isn't an optional step in the Christian life—it's part of God's design for every disciple.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

In this week's episode, host Peter Sherman sits down with Spiritual Formation Pastor Matt Summers to unpack Sunday's message, The Ladder of Modern Prophets. In the LDS system, salvation is often framed as a partnership where we provide maximum effort and God provides the supplement. But striving to follow laws, ordinances, and temple works to achieve exaltation creates an exhausting, moving finish line. It leaves us trapped in the anxiety of never knowing if we have done enough to qualify for God's presence. Together, Peter and Matt explore the contrast offered by the gospel. Grace is not a top-off to patch up our performance, and the work of Jesus is not a supplement to our effort; it is a total substitute for it. Instead of climbing a spiritual ladder to prove our value, we discover the life-changing freedom of stepping off the performance loop and living from the worth Jesus has already given us. Listen to the Menlo Midweek Podcast Tune into new episodes released every Wednesday as we break down Sunday's sermon, share behind-the-scenes insights, and discuss practical ways to live out our faith. Listen now at menlo.church/podcasts.

What if grace isn't a reward for climbing a religious ladder, but a gift that meets you right at the bottom? Pastor of Spiritual Formation Matt Summers continues our Let's Be Honest series by exploring the theology of the Latter-day Saints Church and the idea of grace after all we can do. In a system where salvation is treated as a partnership of human effort and divine supplement, it is easy to get trapped in the anxiety of never knowing if you have done enough. While modern prophets offer frameworks to reach godhood, Christianity points to a God who came down the ladder to reach us. Instead of an endless checklist of requirements, the gospel offers the life-changing freedom of a grace that cannot be earned. We look at the core differences regarding who God is, who Jesus is, and how we are saved, discovering that our worth does not live on the next rung of performance. Join us as we learn to trade striving for the security of a Savior, realizing that when the frameworks falter, Jesus alone is enough.
