Podcasts about pastor chris

Pastor Chris sits down with Executive Pastor Ramon Huertas for a thoughtful conversation about Bad Bunny, art, and how followers of Jesus can learn to read culture with wisdom and humility. At Ecclesia, we believe formation happens not by avoiding the world, but by learning how to live in it with wisdom, courage, and grace. This episode is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and learn how to see what's really there.

What do you do when you know where God is calling you… but there's a wall in the way?In this episode, Pastor Chris Kouba and host Josh Thomas unpack Joshua 6 and the battle of Jericho. God gives Joshua a strategy that feels completely counterintuitive: march, stay silent, and trust Him. From the “stall” of smoking brisket to the grind of daily faithfulness, they talk about what it looks like to wait well, keep showing up, guard your mouth, and remember the outcome because you're not fighting for victory, you're fighting from it.If you're in a season where nothing seems to be changing, this one's for you. Keep marching. Day seven is coming.To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/

This Sunday, Pastor Chris delivered a powerful message reminding us that enduring prayer is a steadfast, watchful, and thankful pursuit that keeps God's people rooted in dependence on Him through every season of life. Scripture shows us that persistent prayer shapes our faith, resists discouragement, advances God's mission, and aligns our hearts with His will—even when answers are delayed. As we pray regularly, pray missionally, and live intentionally, enduring prayer becomes both our lifeline to God and our witness to the world.

This weeks sermon, “Perfect Unity,” reminded us that in a deeply divided world, our unity is found in Jesus alone, and Pastor Chris encouraged us to reflect His love by standing together as one.

What do you do when you want to be kinder, slower, and more loving, but real life keeps getting in the way? In this message, Pastor Chris explores why becoming the person we want to be is often harder than we expect, and how the way of Jesus and the example of Fred Rogers invite us into a different way of living. A practical and honest look at kindness, generosity, presence, and choosing love in a hurried and divided world.

Pastor Chris preaches on Romans 12:3 - 13

This powerful message challenges us to reconsider what it truly means to live out our faith—not in isolation, but in vibrant, purposeful community. Drawing from Ephesians 2:19 and Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, we're reminded that we weren't just saved from something, but saved into something: God's family. The sermon unpacks the dangerous reality of spiritual isolation, showing how disconnection leads to stagnation, emotional vulnerability, and stunted spiritual growth. But when we embrace connection, something transformative happens—we find stability, accountability, and healing. The message emphasizes that every single person carries a divine gift meant to contribute to the growth of the entire body of Christ. We're not optional members; we're essential parts of a living, breathing spiritual organism. When one part is missing or disengaged, the whole body limps. This isn't about filling church seats—it's about discovering our God-given assignment on earth and fulfilling it with intentionality. The call isn't to become someone else or mimic another's ministry, but to embrace our unique personality infused with God's Spirit and bring that irreplaceable contribution to the world around us.

Pastor Chris continues our teaching series entitled “1st Corinthians: Practical Answers to Real Problems.” In this third study of the series, “We Have the Mind of Christ,” we study in 1st Corinthians 2:1-16 as the Apostle Paul continues his address of the challenges present within the Corinthian congregation. Here, we understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit as enabling us to understand God and renew our minds for God's purposes in the world.

We have noticed over the years that we can throw details of current affairs at Chris Quintana and he never ducks nor flinches. And so shall it be as Mary welcomes back Chris to talk about so many things. What does it mean to be “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?” Focusing on silly plastic lounge chairs instead of lifeboats? We will ask him about that, along with what exactly Don Lemon was thinking he would encounter when he entered that church; what the protestors think it means to use a concealed carry for running toward trouble; and why Minnesota? We ask Chris what that first amendment means to these peculiar circumstances. We also look at the church’s level of discernment when it comes to charismatic excesses as they relate to the Bethel/Shawn Bolz big tale of gullibility. Also: with another Super Bowl comes another round of “He Gets Us” adverts; and finally, the dreaded mid terms. Are there ever any real winners in any given election cycle? What are we hoping for vs what we will likely get? Count on Pastor Chris to have more than one complete thought on pretty much anything.

In this episode, Pastor Chris talks about the topic of the dangers of religious pride.

Pastor Chris was back in the Chapter House with Robert Brown to talk about several passages of Scripture-- and they all had (at least in Pastor Chris' mind) some things in common. There's a verse in Psalm 112 that talks about how the wicked see how the righteous live and they are "vexed" and "gnash their teeth." What does that say about them? And what does that say about how we should live in light of Kingdom values? Join us! It was an interesting conversation.

In this message, No Mixture, Pastor Chris shared about the importance of having a clean heart before the Lord—living with honesty, integrity, and nothing hidden. We were reminded that God searches our hearts, and that when our inner life is pure, everything else begins to flow from the right place.

What if loneliness isn't a personal failure but a signal that something sacred is missing? In this message, Pastor Chris explores why friendship may be one of the most holy and necessary gifts God gives us. Drawing from Scripture, cultural insight, and the life of Fred Rogers, this sermon invites us to rethink vulnerability, presence, and what it truly means to love one another well.

Pastor Chris preaches on Romans 12:1 - 2

We are church that doesn't just raise up disciples, but also releases them into their Kingdom assignments and destinies- for some that's released to go and for others, it's released to stay. Stepping into God's mission is not just about what God does through us, it's about what God does in us.In this message, Pastor Chris explores this important part of GCC's vision statement and how important it is for us to be released into everything God has for us.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom." www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcity Sunday Gatherings at 4pm | 2201 P St NW, Washington DC

“This is the Motion Church podcast. Thanks for joining us.” Motion Nights are about moving faith from idea to action. As shared in this gathering, “this morning, Pastor Chris really dove into what it means spiritually and biblically to live in Christ, right?” But tonight, the focus shifts to something practical. “So tonight what we want to do is we want to talk about tangibly. How do we do that at Motion?” Not just what we believe — but “how can I get plugged in where I can live in Christ here at Motion personally, right?” This conversation is about connection, growth, and next steps. As explained, “how we're going to be doing that is something called connect groups.” Because as the church grows — “our church has exploded, right? I'm sure you guys have noticed, it is exploding” — the heart remains the same: helping people live out their faith together. Wherever you're listening from, we invite you to lean in and take that next step. This is Motion Nights — Week 2.

Pastor Chris teaches on staying focused.

Pastor Chris continues our teaching series entitled “1st Corinthians: Practical Answers to Real Problems.” In this second study of the series, “When Disagreement Becomes Disunity,” we study in 1st Corinthians 1:10-31 as the Apostle Paul begins his address of the challenges present within the Corinthian congregation. Here, we see how easily outside agendas can seek to disrupt our peace and unity and compromise our collective witness of the crucified and resurrected Jesus.

What do you do when you need to remember what God has done, tell the story of His faithfulness, and find hope for what's next?In this special snowed-in online service, Pastor Chris Hoyt unpacks the biblical idea of memory markers moments intentionally marked by God's people to remember when He showed up. From stone altars in the Old Testament to worship songs that carry us through life's hardest seasons, this message explores how memory fuels testimony and how testimony builds hope for the future.Whether you're walking through uncertainty, carrying a song from a past season, or believing God for what's next, this message will remind you that faith is not just remembered. It's meant to be projected forward.

In this episode, Pastor Chris talks about one of the most dangerous areas of religion that can show up in our lives and churches, a critical spirit and religious pride.

Measure of Faith | How to Grow What God Has Already Given You God has given every believer a measure of faith—but what you do with it is up to you. In this message, we learn that faith isn't a feeling, a formula, or something reserved for the spiritually elite. It's a muscle we can build. And it grows when we lean into God's Word, pray in the Spirit, worship through uncertainty, and trust God more than our own strength.

Thank you for joining us for today's message that is concluding our series Built to Last. Earlier services focused on the upward and inward aspects of a life built to last, and today's message focuses on the outward aspect of the life God offers to us. As we consider this outward focus of caring about other people, we answer three key questions. What in the world is God doing? Who in the world does God use? How in the world can I participate?

What do you do when you're in “flood season”, when life feels fast, heavy, and uncertain?In this conversation, Pastor Chris Kouba and Josh Thomas dig into Joshua 4 and the powerful moment when God tells Israel to build memorials after crossing the Jordan River—one on the riverbank and one set in the river. Why two? Because we forget. And when we forget where we've been, we lose confidence about where we're going.They talk about practical ways to remember and recount God's faithfulness like journaling, physical reminders, and intentionally telling the “God stories” to your kids, your wife, your friends, and the people you lead. If you're in the middle of something right now, this one is for you: God is faithful at the finish line and He's faithful in the middle too!To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/

When Jesus began His Church, He did not intend for us to live out our calling in isolation from our fellow believers. He prayed that we would, as the Church, be united as one body. The Apostle Paul also reminded the believers in Corinth that they as part of the body of Christ, indeed functioned like a human body, with many necessary and integral parts, fit together by God Himself for the edification of the saints and the glory of God. This week we continue our conversation with Pastor Chris Legg of South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas about how he creatively and practically integrates apologetics into his ministry and how each one of us is an apologist, whether we are professionally trained in the field of apologetics or not. Also, Daniel shares his recent terrifying experience in the Grand Canyon. You don't want to miss this episode!

This week, Pastor Chris continued teaching us about prayer with a message about prayer being the God-given means by which His limitless power strengthens our inner lives, drawing us into the fullness of Christ's love and presence. Rooted in Ephesians 3, this sermon calls us to a deeper prayer life—one that boldly calls on God, prays according to His will with confidence, and cultivates a faithful secret place with Him. As we do, the Spirit strengthens us from within, enlarges our understanding of Christ's love, and works far more abundantly than all we could ask or imagine.

In this message, Growing Up, Pastor Chris invites us to examine how we can avoid spiritual stagnation and continue maturing in our faith. 

Pastor Chris contrasts the way of empires with the way of Jesus. Empires move fast, promise safety, and rely on fear and force. Jesus moves slowly. He notices. He draws near. He builds the Kingdom not through domination, but through love at eye level.

Pastor Chris continues in this mini series on God's expressions.

What if the wilderness seasons we walk through aren't meant to defeat us, but to establish our dominion? This powerful message takes us into the desert with Jesus during His 40-day fast, revealing that His temptation wasn't just about resisting the enemy—it was about proving what we now possess. Every test the devil brought came from Deuteronomy, the book of Israel's wilderness failure, but Jesus quoted it back perfectly. Why? Because what an entire generation failed to walk in—provision, dominion, and trust—Jesus conquered for us. The enemy questioned His identity three times: 'If you are the Son of God...' But Jesus never wavered. He knew who He was, and more importantly, He secured who we are. We're called to walk in crazy faith this year, the kind that speaks God's Word over every situation, takes dominion over every challenge, and trusts Him even when we can't see the path forward. The Israelites had quail falling from the sky, water flowing from rocks, and a cloud guiding them by day—yet they still doubted. We can't make that same mistake. Our breakthrough isn't passive; it's active. It requires us to open our mouths and declare what God has already promised, to stop letting wrong voices speak defeat into our destiny, and to remember that our lives are sustained by God, not our supply.

Pastor Chris commences our teaching series entitled “1st Corinthians: Practical Answers to Real Problems.” In this first study of the series, “Trouble with a Capital T,” we study in Acts 18 of Paul's initial visit to Corinth and the beginning of the church. We then study Paul's introduction of the letter in 1st Corinthians 1, where we learn that the church is the sanctified people of God called to holiness and that we, as followers of Jesus, have not quite yet arrived to becoming all that the Lord intends for us to be.

In this episode, Pastor Chris explores the significant contrast between an "inside-out" relationship and an "outside-in" religion, highlighting how religion can sometimes prevent us from experiencing the more profound aspects of God. 

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges brings biblical clarity to prayer and fasting, explaining why fasting is not a burden but an invitation into deeper spiritual authority and alignment. He unpacks the purpose of fasting, different types of fasts, and five biblical fasts that lead to freedom, restoration, wisdom, spiritual victory, and revival. Pastor Chris explains why Jesus assumed fasting would be a normal part of the Christian life—and how fasting is not about punishment or earning God's favor, but about reordering our lives so the Spirit leads instead of the flesh. This episode will equip pastors and leaders to teach fasting biblically, practice it healthily, and guide others into deeper spiritual rhythms that bring lasting fruit.   Episode Resources: 21 Days of Prayer: https://21days.churchofthehighlands.com/   All Things GrowLeader: Register for GrowLeader Conference 2026: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader

Apologetics might sometimes seem like an off-putting, snobbishly academic endeavor for those among us who are more prone to delight in arguing with nonbelievers. But what might apologetics done properly look like? And what does practical, everyday apologetics look like for believers of all backgrounds and life experiences? In 1 Peter 3:15, we are all called to "give a defense for the hope that is in us, with gentleness and reverence." In that spirit, we as Christians are all apologists. Apologetics is then relevant to our faith, to the church, and to the wider unbelieving culture. This week and next on Apologetics Profile, we'll be chatting with lead pastor of South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas Chris Legg about these very issues. Pastor Chris will share with us what everyday apologetics looks like in practice in their church, from Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights, to daily life in general. Pastor Chris Legg, LPC, and his wife Ginger have been living out the parable of God's love for His people since 1993 and have been blessed with five great kids. He is the Lead Pastor at South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, TX (https://www.southspring.org ) and is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center( https://www.alethiacounseling.com ), which offers training, counseling, speaking and business consulting in several locations in Texas.   He and his son Mark are the authors of the book Sex and Marriage, which is intended torestore the power God intended in our marriages.Learn more about SSBC at  www.southspring.org More about Alethia at https://www.alethiacounseling.comContact Chris, read any of his articles, and look for other resources at hiswebsite at https://www.chrismlegg.com and at https://chrismlegg.substack.com/.
