What role does the family play in advancing the Gospel? In this final episode of our three-part series on God's purpose for the family in the New Testament, Dr. Rob Rienow explores the launch of the early church and reveals how God designed the church and the home to work together for the sake of His Kingdom. Beginning in Acts 2 on the Day of Pentecost, Rob traces the biblical pattern of Gospel ministry: reaching you, your children, and the world. Along the way, he highlights God's calling for parents—especially fathers—to take spiritual leadership in the home and explains why family discipleship is essential to the mission of the church. Whether you are raising young children, investing in grandchildren, or carrying the burden of an adult child who is far from God, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical hope for your family. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - Why the Gospel is intended for you, your children, and the nations - How the early church partnered with families to advance the Kingdom of God - God's specific calling for fathers to lead their children spiritually - Why family discipleship begins in the home and is supported by the church - How parents and grandparents can continue encouraging faith in adult children - Biblical hope for families who are carrying the burden of prodigal children Featured Resources: Foundations of the Christian Family Video Bible Study — Discover God's design for marriage, parenting, family worship, and multigenerational faith through this 19-session video study.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, hosts Matt Summers and Phil EuBank kick off our brand-new series, "GLITCH: Being Human in a Machine World," with an episode titled "Fatal Error." Living in the Bay Area, we are surrounded by a culture that demands constant optimization—from our schedules to our sleep to our diets. Yet, despite having all the right "life hacks," anxiety is at an all-time high. Why? Because we are trying to run an infinite soul on a finite operating system, and we are crashing. This episode is an invitation to stop debugging your life and start actually living it.

Most marriages don't crumble because of one big moment. In fact, most divorces happen because of small behaviors that wear things down over time: defensiveness, shutting down, keeping score, or conversations that feel more about winning than understanding. In this episode, we talk honestly about the patterns that erode connection over time and what it looks like to change them before they cause more damage. You'll hear why tone and timing matter more than most people realize, how small reactions shape trust, and what it means to stop fighting to be right and start fighting for each other.

May 24th | Freedom | Galatians 4:21-5:6In this episode, Pastor Peyton Coker walks through Galatians 4:21–5:6 and asks a powerful question: What does it actually mean to live free?Using the striking image of a hotel room versus a jail cell, Pastor Peyton explores the fundamental difference between freedom and slavery—not the appearance of the room, but where the lock is and who holds the keys. Many people are living trapped behind invisible prison doors of perfectionism, greed, self-righteousness, addiction, shame, people-pleasing, and performance-based Christianity without even realizing it.As Paul closes his argument to the Galatians, the message shifts from doctrine to deeply practical application. Pastor Peyton unpacks three key truths for anyone longing to experience real freedom in Christ:• Cast off your slave mentality• Stand firm in Christ• Check your motivation for obedienceThis episode confronts the crushing weight of trying to earn God's approval through religious performance and reminds believers that Jesus didn't save us merely to behave better—He saved us to enjoy life with Him, walk in freedom, and delight in His presence.If you've ever felt exhausted trying to be “good enough,” trapped in cycles of guilt and perfectionism, or burdened by striving instead of grace, this conversation will point you back to the Gospel: salvation is by faith in Christ alone, and true obedience flows from Spirit-filled love, not fear or shame.Freedom is possible. The prison door is open. The question is: will you walk 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
May 24th | Freedom | Galatians 4:28-5:1In this message from Galatians 4:28–5:1, Pastor Matt Darby unpacks one of the central themes of the Gospel: freedom in Christ. Through Paul's powerful words to the Galatian church, we are reminded that Jesus didn't save us so we could live bound by fear, shame, performance, or religion—He set us free.This sermon explores the contrast between slavery and sonship, effort and promise, religion and grace. Using the story of Sarah and Hagar, Pastor Matt shows how many believers still struggle with a “slave mentality,” trying to earn what God has already given through Jesus.You'll be encouraged to:• Know your identity as a child of promise• Recognize the conflict that comes with following Christ• Reject performance-based Christianity• Stand firm in the freedom Jesus purchased for youFreedom is not something you achieve—it's something Christ has already secured. The question is: will you live in it?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
May 24th | Freedom | Galatians 4:21-5:12Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues through Galatians with a powerful message on the freedom found in Christ alone. In Galatians 4–5, Paul confronts the false belief that salvation requires both Jesus and human effort. Through the story of Isaac and Ishmael, we see the difference between living by the flesh and living by the promise of God through faith.This episode explores how believers often drift toward two dangerous ditches: rebellion or religion. Whether it's indulging the desires of the flesh or trusting in legalism and performance, both lead back to slavery. But the Gospel declares a better way—freedom through Jesus and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.Pastor Todd challenges listeners to stand firm in the Gospel, reject distorted teaching, and realign their lives with the truth of God's grace. If you've ever struggled with shame, striving, compromise, or trying to earn God's approval, this message is a reminder that true freedom is found in Christ alone.“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” — Galatians 5:1Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, host Matt Summers and Phil EuBank sit down to reflect on a truly special standalone weekend across our campuses: Baptism Weekend. Whether faith feels deeply familiar to you, totally unfamiliar, or honestly a little complicated right now, we hope this conversation meets you right where you are. We're diving deeper into the weekend message, looking at baptism not just as a church tradition or a religious box to check, but through the epic biblical story of Joshua 3 and 4. Israel is standing on the edge of a promise, facing a flood-stage river, and stuck in the heavy tension of "almost."

Speaker: Robert ConnEverybody loves the idea of following Jesus...until Jesus leads them into a storm. In Mark 4:35-41, the disciples discover that faith is not pretending storms don't exist, it is declaring that Christ is greater than the storm. Fear, anxiety, uncertainty, grief, and suffering are real, but so is the Savior in the boat. The storm may shake you, but it cannot overcome the One who commands the wind and the waves.Need Prayer?
Have you ever felt like God isn't listening?

Speaker: Robert ConnMotherhood can feel like constant effort with little visible result. In Mark 4, Jesus shows that the Kingdom of God doesn't grow instantly or obviously. It grows quietly, over time, in ways we cannot control. What feels small and insignificant is often exactly what God is using. You are not responsible for the outcome. Stay faithful in the small things and trust that God is growing something you cannot yet see.Need Prayer?

Drawing from the two-stage healing of a blind man in Mark 8, this message reveals why God often works in a slow, deliberate process rather than an instant fix — and the specific steps you can take to stop crash-landing in the same places.

We live in a world where truth is something we define, but Jesus shows that truth is something we respond to. In Mark 4:21-25, He teaches that truth is not hidden, it is revealed, yet not everyone receives it the same way. Some hear it and move on. Some filter it. Some let it change them. The difference is not the truth, it is the response. What we do with truth determines what it does in us.Need Prayer?

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, Matt Summers and Phil EuBank continue our series, "God, If You're Real," by stepping into the heart-wrenching and hope-filled story of Jairus and his daughter (Luke 8).

The people in your circle aren't just company — they're shaping your direction, your faith, and your destiny. In this message, Pastor Saul Martinez walks through Matthew 9 to unpack three powerful truths: the circle you have matters, the circle you build matters, and the circle you become matters. From the paralytic carried to Jesus by four faithful friends, to Matthew the tax collector who flipped the script and brought his whole crew to dinner with Jesus, we see that nobody meets Jesus alone. Whether you're being pulled away from God, doing life in isolation, or ready to step into something more — this message is your invitation to leave the wrong circle, join the right one, and become the kind of person who carries others toward Jesus. ---------- Welcome to the LifeHouse Church Podcast.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! In this episode, Matt Summers and Phil EuBank unpack the raw, honest, and often desperate place where faith meets our most challenging life circumstances.

This conversation is for anyone who has reached the end of their own resources and is ready to move from the armor of cynicism to the vulnerability of faith.
