What does Division 1 football have to do with faith? A lot more than you might think. In this episode of Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate sits down with Michael Ziemba, former Indiana University football player, UPS “industrial athlete,” and Bethany member, to talk about how faith and football shaped his life. From growing up in Florida, playing under Coach Tom Allen in the Big 10, to navigating injuries, career changes, and a move to Colorado, Michael shares how faith, hard work, and community have carried him through. His story is one of optimism, perseverance, and trust that God really does have a bigger plan. You'll hear:How football taught Michael about teamwork, trust, and accountability.The way coaches and mentors wove faith into everyday life on and off the field.What it looks like to lean on God in the face of injuries, setbacks, and big transitions.Why community, whether on a team or in a church, is the key reason he's still here.Michael's story is down to earth, heartfelt, and full of reminders that faith isn't just for Sunday mornings, it's lived out in locker rooms, delivery trucks, and all the everyday places we show up. Listen in, share with a football fan in your life, and be reminded: it's always about the people, and it's always about God's bigger plan.Connect with us at Bethany-Denver.org or follow us on Instagram @Bethany_Denver

In this episode of Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate sits down with Susan Junge to talk about why, after 27 years, she's still going to church.Her journey began in an interfaith marriage, sitting in a Lutheran church pew mostly so her husband could sing in the choir. But somewhere along the way, the Holy Spirit began tugging at her heart. She was baptized as an adult, dove into the church choir, Stephen Ministry, and found a depth of faith she never expected.Susan opens up about how worshiping together shaped her marriage, how centering prayer transformed her daily awareness of God, and why community, both here and in the Communion of Saints, still holds her steady today.It's a conversation about how faith grows quietly over time, why showing up matters, and how God uses community to meet us in joy, grief, and even in the search for a missing cell phone.What You'll Learn in this EpisodeHow an interfaith marriage became the starting point for a lifelong Lutheran journey. Why showing up in person changes how we experience God and each other. The spiritual depth found in choir, hymns, and weekly communion.What centering prayer is and how it can change your daily life. Why church isn't about what you “get” but also about who you walk alongside. How the Communion of Saints connects us to those we love, even after they're gone.Share this episode with a friend and to learn more visit bethany-denver.org or connect with us on Instagram @ bethany_denver

Welcome back to the Christ Street Fellowship podcast. This week wraps up our summer series, Get Smart!—a deep dive into the wisdom of Proverbs. In this final message, Pastor Nate unpacks the incredible power of our words.Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” And throughout the message, we see how words can either wound deeply or bring healing and hope.We explored three key areas of wisdom when it comes to speech:Understanding vs. Ignorance – Are our words grounded in knowledge and humility, or are we just venting opinions?Restraint vs. Venting – Are we speaking to be heard, or listening with self-control and grace?Timeliness – Are we learning to speak the right words at the right time, led by the Spirit and godly counsel?The message also called us to be peacemakers with our words, just as God made peace with us through The Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. Using the acronym P.E.A.C.E., Pastor Nate gave practical tools for de-escalating conflict and speaking life into hard situations.

Title: Sing to Him a New SongSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Psalm 33Overview: Pastor Nate Holdridge teaches through Psalm 33, an anonymous psalm that calls believers to sing a "new song" to the Lord. The sermon examines three central truths about God from this psalm: His power and goodness revealed through creation and His Word, His sovereign plan that supersedes human counsel, and His worthiness of our trust over earthly securities. Pastor Nate traces how the Book of Psalms progressively moves toward praise, explains the significance of God's steadfast love (chesed) throughout creation, and addresses the modern "false hopes" that compete for our trust. The message concludes with practical application for becoming worshippers who engage both exuberantly and sincerely in their faith.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Practice of Giving."  For the next three weeks we will turn to the Bible to look at healthy practices for a local church.  This week we are looking at the practice of giving; next week is the practice of membership and serving.  The last week we will cover the practice of Biblical discipline.
