What does it mean to bring hope into some of the darkest places imaginable? In this powerful episode of People of the Burg, Pastor Sarah sits down with Steve Benner and Mark Starcher to share their experiences serving with Kairos Prison Ministry. Through stories of homemade cookies, prayer chains, life-changing conversations, and unexpected encounters with grace, they reveal how simple acts of love can break down walls built by years of isolation, guilt, and pain. Steve and Mark reflect on the power of forgiveness, the impact of fatherhood, and the humanity they discovered behind prison walls. Along the way, they share moving stories of redemption that challenged their own assumptions and deepened their faith. This Father's Day conversation is a reminder that no one is beyond hope, no one is beyond God's love, and sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can change a life forever.

The church exists for all of the people of the world. It doesn't exist to keep us comfortable and cloistered behind our walls. When we live the mission and the Holy Spirit gets unleashed, the endings are unimaginable. Each of us has the good news of God's gift to be shared anywhere and everywhere. Today's message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our scripture lesson comes from Psalm 100, and our Gospel comes from Matthew Chapter's 9 verse 35 to Chapter 10, verse 8. 

Let us know if this message impacted you!He heard me there—and He hears you here. In this message, Pastor Sarah Keller explores how Jesus pursued one desperate man that everyone else had given up on.

When the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples on that first Pentecost, the results were immediate, obvious and startling. Normally, we don't see the effects of the Holy Spirit that directly, but God is present in the world around us through the work of the Holy Spirit.  Today's message comes to us from Pastor Sarah. She interviews Olivia Tolzin and Zach Prowell, who are both educators. The three discuss the beauty and lament of the past year in education, and share how their faith made a difference. You'll hear how the Spirit showed up through them. Today's lesson comes from 1 Corinthians, Chapter 12 verses 1, 4-11.

Boldness Acts 4 & 5 Following Jesus got people threatened, beaten, and told to shut up—and they didn't. They kept going anyway. This is what happens when faith stops being private and starts getting real. ginghamsburg.org

In this message, Pastor Sarah reveals how our trust issues with God are often shaped by how people have treated us. When disappointment shapes our view, we can begin to project those same patterns onto the Lord. But God is always good, always faithful, and always true to His Word. This message calls us to trust who He is, trust what He's done, and trust what He's said, because you really can trust the Lord.

Have you ever been recruited for a job, a team, a role that you didn't really know was coming your way? Those disciples on the road to Emmaus were. They didn't know it at the time, but Jesus appeared to them and recruited them into his grand design. They invited him into their home for the evening, offered him food and drink. It was only after he took charge and blessed the meal that they realized who Jesus actually was. Then they became an even bigger part of the story by immediately turning around to go back to Jerusalem and share the good news of Jesus' resurrection with the Eleven.  God often recruits us be leaders in the same way. We may want to have others in the limelight because it can be hard to see ourselves as leaders, but we all have the capacity within us.  Today's message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson is from Luke, Chapter 24, verses 28 - 35.

This Sunday in honor of Mother's Day, Pastor Sarah Sparkman is bringing the word! The Bible tells us to honor our Mothers, but how do we navigate that process if our relationship with mom is strained? Or if we have a safe relationship with mom, are we honoring her correctly? Whether your experience with your mother is good or bad, the Bible shows us how we should be stewarding our relationship with the mother figures in our lives.

Welcome to SC Church Podcast! We're so glad you could join us. Today Pastor Sarah Duron shared with us her message:“Juicy Fruit: All About Faithfulness"

This Mother's Day message reminds us that one moment in God's presence can change everything. As we walk through 1 Samuel 1, we look at the story of Hannah — a woman carrying pain, disappointment, and unanswered prayers, yet still choosing to seek God. Whether you're celebrating today, grieving today, waiting on God, or just trying to hold on, this message is for you.

The Road to Leadership. In a story often called “The Road to Emmaus,” followers of Jesus express the disappointment and heartbreak of Jesus' crucifixion. When we experience disappointment on life's road, it can lead to cynicism, lost hope, and dead ends. This road is hard and the journey is difficult, but it can also be revealing. The road of disappointment can show us our passions and deepest desires. We meet Jesus there, and that road can become the place we discover our call to leadership. This message comes to us from Pastor Sarah. Our gospel comes from Luke, Chapter 24 verses 13 - 18.

Culture is made up of things seen and unseen. It is what is obvious, but also that which isn't as obvious, and is sometimes invisible. Culture is made up of both the external markers as well as that which is at the core. While hardship, fear and shame can infuse and inform our culture in negative situations, we can actively build a culture around hope, love and inclusion. Today's message is brought to us by Pastor Sarah.  Our Gospel lesson is from John Chapter 20, verses 19 - 23.

Rev. Dr. Sarah Hinlicky Wilson joins us to elucidate her extensive work in fostering greater Church Unity across diverse global contexts. Through her profound insights, we explore the critical necessity of speaking truthfully to one another, a practice she asserts is vital for the vitality of the Church in our contemporary, tumultuous culture. Dr. Wilson reflects on her experiences as a pastor in Japan, highlighting the unique challenges faced by Christians in a predominantly non-Christian society, and emphasizes the importance of local ecumenical relationships over abstract theological dialogues. As she articulates the imperative of grounding our ecclesiastical identities in shared beliefs, particularly through the historical creeds, we are reminded that unity is not merely an ideal but a tangible commitment lived out in community. This episode serves as a clarion call for Christians everywhere to engage in meaningful conversations and collaborative actions that transcend denominational boundaries in pursuit of a more unified Church. The conversation between Joshua Noel, TJ Blackwell, and Pastor Sarah Hinlicky Wilson unfolds in a profound exploration of church unity, drawing upon her extensive experience as a pastor and theologian. Pastor Sarah reflects on her tenure at a Lutheran church in Tokyo, a context characterized by a small Christian demographic in a predominantly non-Christian nation. She articulates the complexities of fostering community and dialogue among disparate Christian traditions, emphasizing the necessity of understanding and respecting each denomination's unique contributions to the larger body of Christ. Through her narratives, she challenges the notion of ecumenism as a luxury, suggesting instead that true unity emerges from local, meaningful interactions rather than abstract theological debates. The discussion is enriched by Pastor Sarah's insights into the importance of theological education and the role of creeds in unifying believers across generations and cultural contexts. Her emphasis on the creeds as foundational expressions of faith underscores a critical pathway for achieving greater understanding and collaboration among different Christian communities.Takeaways:Pastor Sarah Hinlicky Wilson emphasized the significance of renewing our minds for church unity, as articulated in Ephesians 4, which calls for spiritual transformation and truthfulness among believers.The complexity of understanding truth in a noisy culture was highlighted, where individual perceptions of truth do not necessarily align with objective truth as defined by Christian doctrine.Ecumenism, while often viewed as a luxury, becomes essential when congregations feel secure in their identity and are more willing to engage with one another.Pastor Sarah shared her experiences in Japan, noting that the ecumenical landscape is challenged by a small Christian population, which affects the willingness to collaborate among different denominations.A call to action was made for local church leaders to connect personally, suggesting that practical collaboration can foster unity beyond theological differences.Pastor Sarah remarked that understanding and using the historic creeds can guide congregations towards greater unity, as they encapsulate core Christian beliefs shared across denominations..You can leave a donation, buy podcast merchandise, check out previous series that we've done, or become an official member of The Whole Church Podcast on our website:https://the-whole-church-podcast-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network and find merch to support some of your favorite podcasts on the network's website:https://anazao-podcasts-shop.fourthwall.com/.Don't miss any of the great work Pastor Sarah is doing!

Kings are often greeted by pomp and circumstance. However Jesus did not enter jerusalem by the main gate, he came in via backroads sitting on a donkey rather than a war horse humbled, not triumphant. The celebration of kingship is often evinced by an annointing. Messiah translates into Christ in English and contain the idea of being anointed. Even though Jesus anointing , crowning and assuming his throne was different than his followers expected. His anointing gives us the hope that Christ's anointing heals us as a people. Together we follow a God towards love, hope and peace.  This message is brought to us by Pastor Sarah. The Gospel lesson is from Matthew Chapter 21, Verses 1 - 11. The Scripture lesson comes from Philippians Chapter verses 5 - 11.

Each instance of forgiveness is different and the difficulty of providing forgiveness varies. Many representations in popular culture make this difficult process too simple, forgiveness is asked, accepted and the relationship restored. Unfortunately, in many cases the process can be overwhelming and isn't easy to bring to conclusion. But it doesn't need to work like these simple examples. Relationships may need distance, or may need to be broken completely. In some instances a new different relationship may develop. The good news is that forgiveness is between God and God's people - all of us. Our message today comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson comes from John Chapter 20, verses 19-23,  and our scripture is Jeremiah Chapter 31, verses 31-34

Is is possible to go through life without being hurt? Of course not. We can deny the hurt exists, and push it down deep inside. Naming that hurt is essential to healing and forgiveness. When we hurt, it can feel as thos something is wrong with the world, and also with us. We have the power to name and release the hurt as part of the forgiveness process.  Our message today comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson comes from John Chapter 13 verses 21-30,  and our lesson comes from Psalm 69.

Pastor Sarah teaches on the importance of forgiveness.

Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is well known for the passage known as the Beatitudes. The danger of this message is the risk of further separation between those on the margins and others. Sometimes we can wonder who is blessed and who is cursed; which of these am I. Today's message is brought to us by Pastor Sarah. Our Old Testament lesson comes from Micah, Chapter 6, verses 6 - 8. The Gospel lesson is from Matthew, Chapter 5, verses 1 -12.

Martin Luther King was a brilliant leader, but the civil rights movement was made of millions of people all doing what they could.    As part of the "power of paradox" series, this sermon explores the paradox "everyone is a leader."  Especially in these times, Jesus invites each of us to "come and see," and become part of the movement for justice and peace.    Todays message comes from Pastor Sarah. The Gospl is John, chapter 1, verses 35 - 42. The scripture reading is from Isaiah Chapter 49 verses 1 - 5.

Where do we find God? While he was born 2000 years ago into this world. that wasn't a one and done event. God keeps being born into this world, and into each of our hearts.  This message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson is from Luke, Chapter 2, verses 8-14.

Listening requires at least 2 people. When you listen carefully and you believe, you will share the news. If you listen closely, you can hear that the heavens are still whispering: "Jesus is here, and God loves you." This message is brought to us by Pastor Sarah. The Gospel lesson comes from Matthew Chapter 1, verses 18-25.  

In a culture of grace, listening is essential to leadership but hard. It is hard to silence our internal discussions to really listen. Our goal should be to understand not what matters to us, but what is true for our conversation partner at that point in time.  This message is brought to us by Pastor Sarah. Our Old Testament lesson is from Isiah chapter 40, verses 1-5. The Gospel is from Matthew chapter 3, verse 16. 

Sis… sometimes the only way through the chaos is on your knees. We're throwing it back to Sunday's message, but Pastor Sarah reminds us that worship is a strategy, not just something to sing and do on Sunday. When life feels heavy, when the promise looks far and the process is processing, God meets us right in the middle. In "Get Out of Your Way." Pastor Sarah breaks down how surrender unlocks strategy, how process builds power, and how even in the crushing, there's oil being produced. So if you've been wondering how to make it through what you're facing, start here. Because in this season, the worshippers win. Tap in, turn it up, and let this word remind you: you're not buried, you're being planted.

During this Walk It Out Wednesday service, our pastoral panel of Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, and Pastor Don Johnson (along with Dr. Cynthia James and moderator Anthony Olds) dive into Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts' Sunday message “Make a Move.” Together, they explore what it means to live with a faith that moves. The panel reflects on Genesis 12 and Mark 9, which show us that God responds to our faith no matter the measure. From Abram's shaky beginnings to the desperate father who cried, “I believe, help my unbelief,” they remind us that grace fills in where our faith feels weak. Even when fear, grief, or default behaviors cloud our choices, God's promises remain. And when faith feels stagnant, it may be because we haven't taken the step God is waiting on. Pastor Sarah's message reminded us all: Faith is more than belief; it's a verb. Every move we make in trust opens the door for God's power to meet us.Have you ever wanted to know:• How do I make a move I can trust when I'm dealing with the fear of failure?• What do you do when you know God has power to do all things but struggle to believe He willdo it for you?Don't miss this deep dive that will build your courage, stretch your faith, and remind you that one move with God can change everything!Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Make a Move”Speakers: Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, Dr. Cynthia James, and Anthony OldsDate: Sept. 10, 2025Welcome to Your Moment of TransformationYou don't have to walk this journey alone.

In seasons of uncertainty, it's crucial to know how to overcome when faith stagnates and momentum lags. What do you do when God calls you to move, but fear, failure, or shame hold you back? In this powerful message, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts teaches from Genesis 12, showing that faith is about movement, not perfection. Abram was flawed, yet God called him the father of faith because he was willing to make a move. You may have fallen, but that doesn't mean God is finished writing your story. The faith He wants to birth in you will lift you beyond your history. Active faith breaks bondage, restores identity, and unlocks possibilities you never imagined. Your transformation begins with one step. Listen to this dynamic teaching and discover what happens when the Holy Spirit revolutionizes your faith walk!

This Walk It Out Wednesday with Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts continues the conversation from her Sunday message “Love Steps In.” Pastor Sarah reminds us that we were created in God's image — not the image of our wounds — and that Jesus came to restore us to the right model. He shows us how to live, love, and walk with the right heart posture for real transformation. This message explores our call to love, the way Jesus restored Peter with love, and how God's love meets us in every season — whether providing, correcting, or comforting. Pastor Sarah also tackles questions people submitted, including: • How do I change my input when everything around me is negative? • What can I do to truly change and not fall back into old patterns? • How do I make God's Word the final authority in my life? • What does worship really look like beyond a song? • Why pray in tongues, and what does it mean? • How can I stir hunger for God in my family? • What does walking in love each day actually look like? Don't miss this chance to see how God's love transforms our minds, restores our souls, and gives us the strength to walk it out.

When your strength runs out, when fear torments your mind, and when your love falls short, God's love steps in. In this compassionate message, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts teaches from John 21, where Jesus meets Peter after his denial. Peter's love had failed, his confidence was shaken, and he no longer trusted himself. Yet Jesus restored him through love and called him to follow again. That same love is available to you. Real transformation doesn't come from changing our behavior — it begins with what we allow into our hearts and minds. If you change the input, the output will follow. God's presence renews your thoughts, restores your identity, and empowers you to walk in freedom. His love casts out fear, steadies your soul, and sustains you when human love falls short. This is a timely word for anyone who needs a reminder: Your story doesn't end where your love failed. God's love will meet you there, restore you, and carry you forward.

You've been surviving — but is your soul suffocating? In this piercing message, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts uncovers how life's losses can damage us more than we realize — stealing not just relationships, time, or confidence, but the breath of God within us. When your soul is wounded, your purpose is stifled. But healing begins when you confront what you've normalized and reclaim the breath that was never meant to be buried. Through the stories of Nathanael, Cain, and Hagar, Pastor Sarah reveals that God isn't just watching — He's seeing you, restoring you, and preparing to breathe through you. But that can only happen if your soul is anchored, healed, and tuned in. MEDITATION: This is your soul's assignment. Stay focused. Stay connected. God is equipping you for what's next — and when your soul is ready, He'll send you. Message: “Don't Hold Your Breath” Scripture: John 1:47-51 (NKJV) Speaker: Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts Date: July 27, 2025 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.
