Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 10 feels like Solomon's unloading all the wisdom he forgot to mention. They're short, sharp one-liners about life, risk, relationships, and work.But even the best advice has limits. Life under the sun can still fall apart, no matter how wisely we live. That's why the real hope isn't in flawless wisdom, but in the good news that God's love meets both the wise and the fool right where we are.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 10, 2025, at 10:15am.

Guest speaker Caleb Hunt continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever had a friend who cuts through the noise to say exactly what you need to hear — not just what you want to hear? Today, Ecclesiastes plays that role, challenging us to face the one thing we'd rather ignore: death itself.Death is the great equalizer, reminding us that everything under the sun — our careers, legacies, and even wisdom — has limits. Yet, instead of despair, Ecclesiastes helps us see how confronting death head-on points us to genuine hope and purpose, found only when we invest in what lasts beyond the sun: God, His Word, and each other.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 3, 2025, at 10:15am.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 8 wrestles with why wicked people seem to thrive, how we're supposed to live under flawed authority, and what to do when life just doesn't make sense.But through it all, Solomon shows us something surprisingly hopeful: it will be well with those who fear God — not because we'll have the answers, but because we're trusting the One who does.It's an honest look at why submission — real, deep, often uncomfortable submission — isn't weakness, but the path to peace.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 27, 2025, at 8:30am.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.What if the letdowns in life are actually beautiful invitations? Ecclesiastes 7 flips our expectations upside down, showing that mourning shapes us more than laughter, and legacy matters more than luxury.We chase control, comfort, and clarity, but every human scheme eventually fails. And that's the gift. Because in surrendering our plans, we begin to trust the One who made us for more than life under the sun. This message is an honest, poetic, and deeply hopeful reminder that the best things for us may not be the easiest, but they're always eternal.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 20, 2025, at 10:15am.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever found yourself chasing "just a little bit more" yet always feeling empty? Today, we're diving into wisdom from Solomon, the wealthiest man in history, who still struggled profoundly with satisfaction. In Ecclesiastes 5 and 6, Solomon exposes the truth that money itself never satisfies, we can't take our earthly treasures with us, and failing to find joy in God's gifts isn't just sad — it's spiritually corrosive.But there's hope. God offers a different path where we express deep gratitude for what we have and invest our lives in what truly lasts. If you're ready to break free from the endless hamster wheel of dissatisfaction and step into a life of authentic contentment, God has something powerful for you today.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 13, 2025, at 10:15am.

Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues our Ecclesiastes series.How we walk into God's presence matters. Too often, we rush in, distracted, busy, or burdened, offering words without weight and worship without reverence. But Ecclesiastes 5 calls us back: Guard your steps. Let your words be few. Fear God.It's not about silence or perfection — it's about listening and posture. What if your Sunday started not with making noises but with awe? What if hearing from God became your deepest expectation?Today, we're learning to show up differently and approach God with hearts ready to listen, vows we intend to keep, and reverence that shapes our worship.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 7, 2025, at 10:15am.

Have you ever heard of SCRIPTING? Scripting is a powerful manifestation technique rooted in the Law of Attraction. It's essentially writing a story about your life as if your desires have already come true. Think of it like journaling, but with a twist: you're writing from the future you, not the present you. The energy behind it is all about alignment- Feeling the emotions of your desired reality now, so you can attract it more easily. Why scripting works: It reprograms your subconscious mind, helping you believe that your goals are possible. When your beliefs shift, your actions and energy naturally align with the version of you who already has what you want. Quick Tips: *Start with “I'm so happy and grateful now that…” *Don't worry about “how” it'll happen focus on the feeling and vision. *Use a special notebook just for scripting to make it sacred and intentional. _________________________________________________________ Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast For full episodes in AUDIO and VIDEO subscribe to Patreon.com/straightupsisters Email us: hello@straightupsisters.com

About the Guest(s): Dr. Woolner is a widely-recognized expert in the functional medicine community, known for helping functional medicine practitioners optimize their practice. With a deep commitment to aiding practitioners across various disciplines—chiropractors, nurse practitioners, medical doctors, and more—he focuses on improving both their clinical outcomes and business success. Dr. Wells is an accomplished figure in the functional medicine industry, committed to revolutionizing how practitioners convert potential clients into patients with effective communication and business strategies. He is renowned for his expertise in patient communication, sales strategies, and developing heart-centered approaches to healthcare. Episode Summary: In this pivotal episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine Podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells dive deep into the often challenging aspect of sales within the healthcare sector, especially focusing on high-ticket program conversions. They propose a paradigm shift for practitioners who are averse to traditional sales approaches by presenting a framework that makes enrollment as natural and ethical as possible, without the off-putting pressure of conventional sales techniques. The episode explores key strategies for transforming how practitioners approach patient interaction to achieve higher conversion rates for their high-ticket health programs. Highlighting the importance of understanding patients' goals and the role of tension rather than pressure in the sales process, Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells share invaluable insights on building trust and developing authentic patient-practitioner relationships. Additionally, they discuss the significance of scripting and preparation to turn the potentially intimidating sales conversation into a reassuring and collaborative dialogue. They draw parallels with real estate agents to illustrate effective selling techniques and emphasize creating an alignment between practitioners' offerings and patients' desires. Key Takeaways: Understand the Patient: Take the time to ask open-ended questions to fully understand what the patient wants, beyond mere symptom relief. Scripting is Essential: Properly practiced scripting guides the conversation effectively, sounding natural and confident rather than robotic. Build Trust Early: Making a strong first impression in the initial five minutes with the patient is crucial for building a lasting relationship. Differentiate Pressure from Tension: Pressure seeks escape while tension seeks resolution; operate in a way that establishes natural tension to help patients reach their goals. Align Solutions with Goals: Present solutions that align directly with patients' articulated goals for more successful conversions.

Worship director Justin Jackson continues our Sermon on the Mount series."A wolf in sheep's clothing" is someone who appears harmless but is inwardly destructive. Jesus warns us about false teachers who will come like this, and tells us to be on guard because the ways deception can creep into the truth are subtle.This isn't just about identifying those who might lead us astray; it's a call to examine our own understanding of truth and the path we're choosing to walk. Thankfully, there is a practical way Jesus equips us to discern what's genuine.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 18, 2025, at 11:00am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.There are moments in life when thinking about decisions isn't enough—when you have to choose. In Matthew 7, Jesus brings us to exactly that crossroads.He presents us with two clear paths: a narrow gate opening to a hard road, leading to real life, or a wide gate leading down an easy road, ultimately ending in ruin. Faith in Jesus isn't just a one-time moment—it's also a continuous journey of choosing to follow Him, even when it's difficult. Today, Jesus asks us directly: "Are you in?"Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 11, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.When people are difficult, Jesus doesn't tell us to avoid them. He calls us to engage with wisdom, grace, and courage. In Matthew 7, we're called to judge without a judgmental heart, pray when we feel stuck, and then act, even when no clear answer comes.And we're not just called to treat others fairly, but to treat them as we would want to be treated when we fall short. Thisisn't passive kindness; it's relentless love. The kind that pursues, initiates, and reflects the heart of God Himself. Who's God calling you to love like that this week?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 4, 2025, at 9:30am.

Today, youth pastor Gary Jones continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Ask and you will receive. Is this too good to be true?

But when we really know God's heart, we will ask boldly for the good things that He has for us, because He desires to give good gifts to His children. When we trust in his goodness, we won't hesitate to bring our requests to Him, but will instead respond by earnestly seeking Him out.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 27, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carsetensen celebrates Easter by inviting us to confront a deeper hunger: the ache for a leader who doesn't exploit but sacrifices. Who doesn't scatter, but gathers. In a world full of failed leaders and broken promises, Jesus dares to say: "I am the Good Shepherd." And then He proves it by restoring the blind, rescuing the anxious, and laying down His life.What if the thing you most need isn't money, healing, or even escape, but a Good Shepherd?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 20, 2025, at 9:30am.
