Você já sentiu que está cercado de pessoas, mas profundamente sozinho? Em uma geração que se isola cada vez mais, o Pastor Andy traz uma palavra provocadora: o crescimento espiritual não acontece através de informações, mas em comunidade. Baseado na igreja primitiva de Atos 2, este episódio explora como a conexão real produz frutos de maturidade, prestação de contas e encorajamento. Descubra por que "ferro afia ferro" e como a igreja local deixa de ser um evento de domingo para se tornar a família onde você finalmente pertence.
Pastor Andy teaches that God is intentional in all things, actively working for the good of those called according to His purpose, and that this same intentionality is the seed of success for every believer. True prosperity is not accidental; it requires being intentional about identity, gifting, and connections, recognizing that each person is sent here on a divine mission with a name and an assignment worth pursuing. Sacrifice without intent is unsustainable, but when offerings of time, talent, and resources are made with purposeful expectation toward God's favor, the doors He has already prepared begin to open.

In case you missed it, the March/April 2026 issue of Holiness Today came out earlier this month. This edition is a deep dive into the book of Genesis, exploring the foundational stories of our faith and how they continue to shape our journey of holiness. In this issue, we walk through the "days" of the patriarchs and the very beginnings of creation with a powerful lineup of scholars and leaders: Frank Moore explores "The Days of Creation," examining the spiritual insights we can gain from our physical senses. Jim Edlin reflects on "The Days of Adam," reminding us that Adam's story of blessing and brokenness is also our story. Gabriel Benjiman looks at "The Days of Noah," using the ark as a witness to God's gracious invitation. Timothy Green discusses "The Days of Abraham," focusing on the interwoven threads of call, promise, and covenant. Paige Graves examines "The Days of Isaac," describing him as the essential "middleman" of the divine covenant blessing. David Snodgrass writes on "The Days of Jacob," detailing the transformation from a life of striving to one of total dependence on God. T. Scott Daniels concludes the series with "The Days of Joseph," highlighting how God's sovereign love turns harm into global redemption. On this episode, we are featuring the audio from Andy Lauer's "A Word From..." segment. Andy is the lead pastor of South Bend First Church of the Nazarene, and in this talk he discusses how Jesus Christ is present throughout the entire arc of salvation history—notably from the beginning in Genesis. Stay tuned as we listen to Pastor Andy's insights on finding Jesus in the biblical terrain of Genesis. Lifelong Learning Code: 28473 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

They reflect on creation, identity, order, and the fracture that follows in Genesis 3, asking what these opening chapters reveal about humanity's calling and our ongoing struggle to trust God.Along the way, they recommend several books that have shaped their thinking and speak candidly about the weight of leading in the age of information; an era where opinions are instant, criticism is public, and theological conversations travel faster than wisdom often does. It's an honest discussion about Scripture, formation, and the challenge of shepherding people when everyone has a platform.Eric' SubstackRISE RADIOEach week we discuss some of the most important issues we face in our society today.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Beyond The BeaconJoin Bishop Kevin Sweeney for inspired interviews with Catholics living out our faith!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1.

Send a textThis week Pastor Andy walks through Acts 7 and the martyrdom of Stephen — the first man killed for proclaiming the name of Jesus.Stephen stood before the religious elite and reminded them of a hard truth: God does not live in temples made by human hands. He never desired sacred places as much as He desired sacred people.This message confronts modern Christianity with uncomfortable questions:• Is church a place we go — or a life we live?• Is Jesus a teacher we appreciate — or Lord we surrender to?• Are we building institutions — or carrying His presence?The Bible isn't the story of human success. It's the narrative of the failed priesthood — and the mercy of a God who keeps making a way.Watch now and ask yourself:Is Jesus contained to Sunday… or is He living in you?
Pastor Andy brings us a message about prospering on purpose. God has fashioned each of us for a specific purpose, and that purpose begins with having a relationship with Him, being confident in Him, and living by faith and not by sight. When we accept that we have been designed for this journey from glory to glory, we understand that our prosperity is not an accident but an intentional part of God's plan, and we are purposed to please Him whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

Send us a Text Message - include your name! Did God create cancer? In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy do their best to wrestle with that question. They draw from Augustine and Irenaeus, and they talk through sin, brokenness, creation, and the bigger “cosmic” storyline that shapes how Christians have understood evil and suffering. Along the way, they bring in themes from relational theology and try to speak with both honesty and care.

Pastor Andy brings us a message about washing your soul. Just as your spirit can be clean through salvation, your soul -- the thinking, emotional, decision-making part of you -- must be continually washed because your success and health will be capped at the level of your soul's condition. The influence of the world, especially through your cell phone and social media, has the power to pollute your soul and create strongholds that weaken you against yourself, but when you recognize the battle is within and commit to resilience, nothing can stop you from moving forward into what God has for you.

Pastor Andy teaches that it is possible to walk with Jesus and experience spiritual power while still having unresolved issues in your soul. Using the story of James and John wanting to call down fire from heaven, he challenges us to examine our gut health by asking five soul-check questions: can you walk to the cross, what do you do when you don't get your way, can you wait, can you connect, and can you sacrifice? Just like bad breath can signal deeper gut problems, what belches up out of us when life punches us in the gut reveals whether our souls need healing in order to truly prosper.

From global governance agendas at Davos to cultural shifts in America, we're watching prophecy unfold before our eyes. But here's the good news: Jesus is coming back!In this powerful prophecy update, Pastor Andy examines three critical areas—globalism's rise, America's decline, and increasing persecution of believers. From climate change agendas to Sharia patrols in NYC, the world is being prepared for the events described in Revelation 17:6 and Daniel 7:23. Yet amid these storm clouds, we have a blessed hope."Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus" (Titus 2:13).

Using Romans 8:31-38 as the textual reference for this series, the Apostle Paul states "What then shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?...No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

We were never designed to do life in a vacuum. In this kickoff to our Family pillar series, Pastor Andy explores the radical reality of Acts 2:42—a community so devoted to one another that it changed history. We often view family through the lens of our past experiences—some beautiful, some broken. But Kingdom family isn't about finding a perfect environment; it's about taking personal responsibility to create one. In this message, we confront the modern barriers to connection (technology, busyness, and walls masquerading as boundaries) and issue a challenge: move from being a consumer of community to a cultivator of it.
