On today's episode of Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate sits down with Pastor Carrie Bayless and her daughter Emmy for a conversation that was totally unplanned, and turned out to be one of the most real, funny, and thoughtful episodes yet.We talk about what it's like growing up as a pastor's kid (fun fact: Nate's a PK too!), the expectations that come with being “the pastor's family,” and why Emmy, a high school senior, is still showing up for church when so many of her friends aren't. Along the way we swap stories about pajama pants vs. church clothes, why kids especially 6-and 7-year-olds are the most hilarious part of Sunday school, and how church can feel like home.This episode is about faith, family, and purpose, and why being known and welcomed in a church community makes all the difference.You'll hear:Honest stories about what it's like to be a pastor's kid and how expectations shape faith.How church challenges us to grow and why that's different from checking a box on Sunday.The difference between school friends and church friends and why it matters.Why church is still the one place we gather around love, belonging, and Jesus.Download the full podcast here: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/together-4-good-conversations-on-faith-family-and/id1529196060Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0aFHcs9xjcRK54uXJzUBbH?si=VwBUEjyQQnieXyKHdkcfvAFollow Bethany Lutheran Church on social media for all the best moments from the show: https://linktr.ee/bethanydenverAnd keep up with us in the Bethany Connect app available in your app store!

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Practice of Church Discipline” from Matthew 16:13-9; 18:15-20.  Just the mention of church discipline can leave Christians feeling uneasy, more than likely because it has been done poorly in so many different contexts.  Yet, the practice itself is a responsibility that Jesus has given to His church.  So, on Sunday, we will look at this important Biblical practice with humility and aim to grow in obeying our King.  

In this message from our Failure to Thrive series, Pastor Nate unpacks the importance of a proper spiritual diet. Just as our bodies cannot thrive without food, our spirit cannot flourish without God's Word.

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. Ask God to use this series in your own life and for His glory in the church.

In a world that constantly pushes us to take control of our plans, our schedules, our relationships, James 4:13–16 reminds us of a better way. In this message, Pastor Nate confronts the illusion of control and the anxiety it produces. Through Scripture, and story, we're invited to release our grip, open our hands, and trust the God whose plans are higher, wiser, and rooted in love. When we surrender what we cannot control, we make room for the peace, purpose, and power God longs to give us—because open hands receive what closed fists never will.

In this message from our Get Smart series, Pastor Nate explores the path of humility through the wisdom of Proverbs. Pride is a subtle but totally pervasive and destructive force—often hiding in insecurity, self-righteousness, and even our faith. But humility, rightly understood, is living in reality: God is God, and we are not. With Scripture, real-life examples, and practical steps, this episode shows how choosing the low place leads to joy, freedom, and wisdom.Key Passage: Proverbs 11:2 – “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.”
