Are you watering fruit instead of the root? In this episode, Pastor Josh and Trevor get real about the difference between doing for God and being with God. From hilarious cherry debates and lawn-mowing theology to vulnerable moments of parenting and spiritual performance, they explore how easy it is to focus on the fruit — our behavior, results, and routines — while missing the root, a deep relationship with Jesus. You'll hear practical wisdom, raw honesty, and maybe a little too much about chicken wings. But by the end, you'll walk away with a better understanding of what it means to abide in Christ, stir your affection for Him, and let the right kind of fruit grow naturally in your life. Whether you're leading, parenting, serving, or just trying to stay connected — this one's for you. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

We are so quick to put the weight on ourselves — to earn more, fix more, build more, be more. But what if that's the harder way?

Welcome to SC Church Podcast! We're so glad you could join us. Today Pastor Josh Bredahl shared with us his message:“Growing Spiritually: A Healthy Heart"

Pastor Josh continues our sermon series, Principles of Kingdom Living. With this Sundays theme, God-Breathed: Primary Tool for a Disciple.

What if God's big plan to reach the world… is you? That's what this message is all about. Not your pastor. Not a platform. You. Your life, your words, your response to pressure, fatigue, criticism, and everyday moments. In this message, Pastor Josh pulls back the curtain on what it really means to live the gospel — not just preach it, but embody it. We're not just saved from something — we're saved for something. You were made to be an ambassador of heaven, and yes, God picked you on purpose. But let's be honest — there's a lot that fights against that calling. The fear of people's opinions. The pull of pride and selfishness. The weight of burnout. This message will stir something in you, challenge you, and remind you that the power to live this out doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from staying close to Jesus. Because apart from Him, we can do nothing. But with Him? We can light up the world.   Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

Whether you're managing a team, a classroom, a home, or a business, your work becomes worship when it's fueled by God's Spirit. Learn how to live and lead in a way that brings excellence and transformation, just like Joseph did in Egypt.

What do you do when life does not go as planned? When disappointment, failure, or even spiritual burnout make you want to give up and go back to what you knew before? In this message, Pastor Josh takes us deep into Galatians 4 to ask a simple but soul-stirring question: Why do we go back when we've already been set free? Whether it is old habits, a religious mindset, or just a broken view of God's love, this message reminds us that the Gospel is not about earning approval — it is about responding to a love that was never based on performance in the first place. This is more than a sermon. It is an invitation to return to the Father, to grace, to freedom. With raw honesty and powerful storytelling, Pastor Josh shares how we often drift away, not out of rebellion but from forgetting who we are in Christ. But the good news is this: we can always come back. And when we do, we do not find a God with arms crossed — we find a Father running toward us with arms open.

God's strategy has always been multiplication, not accumulation. In this weeks Leadership Lesson, Pastor Josh Kelsey unpacks Numbers 11 and the moment when God took the Spirit that was on Moses and placed it on the seventy elders, showing us that leadership was never meant to be carried alone. Impartation happens when the burden outweighs our capacity, and it's in those moments we learn this was never about us, it's always been God. If you've been carrying the weight of leadership, ministry, or vision alone, this episode is a prophetic reminder that multiplication requires unity, surrender, and supernatural trust. Pastor Josh challenges us to ask: Who are you gathering? Are you creating space for others? Are you submitted before you're leading?
