Send us Fan MailA missionary story that doesn't start with a pulpit, a seminary track, or a flawless “calling” moment can be the one that hits closest to home. I sit down with Grayson, who went back to school as an adult, found his faith sharpened through Christian education, and eventually said yes to serving in China. What follows is a vivid look at missionary life where the government is watching, gathering is complicated, and the gospel still moves from person to person with surprising speed.We talk about house church reality in China, government-sanctioned churches, and what happens when certain topics are treated as dangerous. Grayson shares the joy of seeing students come to Christ, including a week when 120 people were coming through their home for Bible study, and the long, patient conversations it can take for faith to take root. Then he tells a moment I won't forget: a new believer insists baptism should happen in a river, so they ride bicycles for almost two hours to make it happen, read Scripture on the riverbank, and decide “now is the proper time.”The conversation turns honest about the cost too: a student who may have turned them in, police interrupting worship, and IDs being recorded. And yet even that story bends toward redemption. We also compare spiritual hunger abroad with the spiritual numbness that can grow in American comfort, and why recovering awe for God matters more than winning arguments. Grayson even lays out a simple, clear gospel summary he shared with kids at Vacation Bible School.If you want to follow or support Grayson's work, check out globaloutreach.org (account 3086) and OrmanFamilyThailand.com.

Today we are in the final week of our series—Strength for the Climb. This series is based on scriptures our children explored at this year's Vacation Bible School. Each day of VBS, the kids looked at a story from scripture that amplified the theme verse for the week: Philippians 4:13: "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Often it seems we think of that verse as a kind of spiritual superpower—as if “I can do everything!” “Nothing is hard with Jesus!” But when Paul wrote those words while sitting in prison, he didn't mean to ignore the difficult, but rather, he meant to assure those reading this letter that God will give us the strength to persevere through anything. Today, we see this illustrated in the story of Peter and John healing someone who was unable to walk.

How many of you still remember a song from Vacation Bible School? Maybe you remember the motions. Maybe you remember a memory verse. Maybe you remember the cookies, the crafts, or the awkward skits. But for many people, VBS became much more than a childhood memory. For some, it was the first time they…

Trump's financial disclosures reveal windfall for the president. Trump responds to reports he's considering resuming all-out war with Iran amid denuclearization talks. One-Hit Wonder Wednesday. World Cup update. Hottest temperatures in over a decade threatened in parts of eastern US as dangerous heat dome expands and intensifies. USA takes on Bosnia and Herzegovina in World Cup Round of 32.

Unsinkable Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Matthew 14:22-33 Episode Summary Fresh off Vacation Bible School week, Pastor Michael uses the scientific principle of buoyancy to explore what happens when life pulls us under. Through the story of Peter walking on water - and beginning to sink - we discover that Jesus doesn't wait for us to have it together before reaching out His hand. When we're sinking, all we need are three words: "Lord, save me!" Key Points - The Disciples were in a storm because they obeyed Jesus - the presence of a storm doesn't mean the absence of God - Peter is the only person besides Jesus to ever walk on water, but fear shifted his focus from Christ to chaos - Fear doesn't drown us all at once - it steals our focus one wave and one "what if" at a time - Jesus reached out immediately when Peter cried out - not after Peter proved himself worthy - Jesus never asked us to save ourselves. He asked us to trust Him. Main Takeaway Jesus saves sinking people. Not the ones who have it all figured out. Not the ones whose faith never wavers. People whose faith is struggling, who are exhausted, who don't know what to do next. When you're sinking, don't wait for the right words or the right moment - cry out: "Lord, save me!" Memorable Quotes - "Jesus saves sinking people." - "The presence of a storm doesn't mean the absence of God. Just because the wind is against you doesn't mean God Is against you." - "If Jesus calls you, He'll carry you. If He commands you, He'll keep you." - "Fear doesn't have to drown you all at once. It just has to steal your focus. One wave at a time. One 'what if' at a time." - "We spend so much of our lives trying harder, working harder, holding on tighter. But eventually it all runs out. And we learn the truth - Jesus never asked us to save ourselves." - "When my heart changed, my situation changed." Reflection Question Are you trying to save yourself before crying out to Jesus? What would it look like to stop waiting and simply say, "Lord, save me"? Tune in to hear Pastor Michael's vulnerable account of a year of chest pains, muscle spasms, and a left eyelid impersonating a grasshopper - and how crying out to Jesus changed everything.

They explain Paul's teaching that present suffering is not comparable to future glory, using childbirth as an illustration, and connect human struggle with sin to the promise of renewed bodies. They discuss how the fall affected all creation, which now “groans” for renewal, citing Revelation's new heaven and new earth and supporting the idea with 2 Peter 3:13 and Jeremiah 12. They clarify hope as patience in what is unseen, and explain the Spirit's intercession in prayer, rejecting claims that speaking in tongues is required for salvation. They interpret Romans 8:28 as God bringing good from suffering for those called to His purpose, then address foreknowledge and predestination, contrasting Calvinism and Arminianism and arguing the terms imply God's prior knowledge rather than coercion. They plan to finish Romans 8:31–39 next week. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:34 Romans 8 Reading 02:57 Suffering and Glory 06:05 Creation Awaits Renewal 09:36 Groaning for Redemption 12:15 Saved by Hope 15:05 Spirit Helps Our Prayers 19:45 All Things for Good 23:04 Predestination Debate 29:08 Wrap Up and Next WeekNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock 

Vacation Bible School has introduced countless children to Jesus,and its impact can last a lifetime. In this special episode, Stu Epperson is joined by his daughter, Hope, who shares firsthand stories from serving at VBS, where children are learning about God's love, hearing the gospel, and asking life-changing questions about faith. They discuss why VBS remains one of the church's most effective outreach ministries, how it plants seeds that can transform entire families, and why every believer should be praying for the children, volunteers, and churches serving this summer. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, volunteer, or simply looking for encouragement, this conversation is a powerful reminder that God is still changing lives through Vacation Bible School.

Looking back at our Vacation Bible School, Jason and Roger conclude a Fridays in June series called “Four ‘Be's' for Children & Adults.” In this fourth episode, be right.

Send us Fan MailRomans 8:1–17: No Condemnation, Life in the Spirit, and Adoption as God's Children Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison discuss Romans 8:1–17 (RSV) on “Pondering the Bible,” focusing on Paul's shift from despair in Romans 7 to assurance that there is “no condemnation” for those in Christ, especially in the end-time judgment. They explain that believers are judged by what Jesus has done, not by the law weakened by the flesh, and emphasize the role of the indwelling Holy Spirit as evidence of belonging to Christ. They interpret “living by the Spirit” as being troubled by sin and pursuing sanctification, and they discuss verses 9–11 as pointing to the Trinity. Using an ancient slavery-and-redemption analogy, they describe Jesus as redeemer and conclude with believers' adoption as God's children and heirs with Christ; they recommend the NLT for clarity and note a week off for Vacation Bible School before finishing Romans 8. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:21 Romans 8 Reading 03:22 No Condemnation Explained 06:04 Judged by Different Rules 08:45 Flesh vs Spirit Mindset 09:18 Do You Have the Spirit 13:02 Trinity in You 16:04 Debtors and Redeemer 20:05 Adoption and Heirs 23:03 Wrap Up and Next WeekNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock 

As we got ready to kick off our Vacation Bible School this year, Chris shares a message about the importance of wanting our Kids to love God, Love others, and love their church!

This episode reflects on Matthew 9 where Jesus heals, shows compassion for the crowds, and sends out the twelve disciples with a mission to proclaim the kingdom and heal the sick. The speaker connects that Gospel call to Vacation Bible School, describing VBS as a moment when the church equips and sends out "unfinished" disciples into an imperfect world, trusting the Spirit and the gifts of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness.

Year A – Pentecost 3; Lectionary 11 – June 14, 2026 Pastor Megan Floyd             Matthew 9:35 - - 10:23   Grace and peace to you from God, our Creator, from the Holy Spirit, our Sustainer, and from Jesus Christ, who sends us out with compassion to welcome and serve. Amen. *** Last weekend was one of those weekends that reminds me why I love the church. On Saturday, many of us gathered with our neighbors to first worship, and then celebrate at the Pride Festival. We shared smiles, conversations, and reminders that God's love is for all people. Then, on Sunday, we worshiped together here in celebration of Pride Month, giving thanks for the beautiful diversity of God's creation and for the truth that every person bears the image of God. Then this past week, our congregation joined with three other churches for Vacation Bible School. Children filled the church with laughter… and a bit of chaos. Friendships were formed. Stories were shared. Meals were served. New faces became familiar faces. On the surface, Pride celebrations and Vacation Bible School might seem like very different events. But as I reflected on today's Gospel from Matthew, I realized they share something important. Both were acts of hospitality.Both were ways of saying, "There is a place for you here." …and both were opportunities to share the good news of God's love. And that is exactly what Jesus is talking about in today's Gospel. Matthew tells us that Jesus went throughout the cities and villages, teaching, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and sickness. Then comes one of the most moving descriptions in all of Scripture: "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." Everything that follows… flows from that compassion. Jesus does not look at the crowds and see problems to be solved. He does not see enemies to defeat. He does not see people to judge. He sees people who are hurting. …People who are exhausted. …He sees people who have been pushed aside and wounded by systems of power and oppression. And his heart breaks for them. Jesus was moved by his compassion… to act. And you see, that is where the mission of the church begins. Not with strategy or plans for growth. Nope. The mission of the church… begins with compassion. Except… this is often where we get things wrong. We hear Jesus sending the disciples out… and we immediately think of evangelism as persuasion or recruitment. We imagine that our job is to convince people to come to our church and be part of our community. And this isn't a bad thing… I think our community is absolutely wonderful and I definitely think people should come check us out! But that is not what Jesus sends the disciples to do. In the Roman world, people would have immediately recognized the language of "proclaiming good news." When Rome conquered a territory, messengers would arrive announcing the "good news" that Caesar was now in charge. And… they came backed by military force… carrying the power of empire. …They came with the expectation that everyone would submit. Jesus… sends his followers out in exactly the opposite way. They carry no weapons, and they bring no wealth. …They travel with almost nothing so they must depend on the hospitality of strangers. They cannot force anyone to listen or compel anyone to receive them. They simply arrive… bearing peace… and offer healing. They proclaim that the kingdom of heaven has come near… And then they leave the response up to others. If people receive them, they stay, but if people reject them, they move on. This is such a radically different vision of God's kingdom. …The kingdom of God advances not through coercion but through compassion. Not through domination and force… but through love and hospitality. And perhaps that is why Jesus' words about shaking the dust from their feet can sound so startling. When a town refuses to receive the message, Jesus tells the disciples not to stay and argue. Not to keep fighting. Not to force the issue. Just move on. The good news must be shared. There are too many hurting people to spend all our energy trying to convince those who have already closed their hearts. And then Jesus invokes Sodom and Gomorrah. Now, those names carry a lot of baggage… but I think, especially so, during Pride Month. Many people immediately assume that Sodom and Gomorrah represent God's judgment against LGBTQ+ people. …But Scripture itself tells a different story. The prophet Ezekiel says in chapter 16:49, "This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, excess of food, and prosperous ease but did not aid the poor and needy." The sin of Sodom was not love… It was violence… and exploitation. It was the refusal of hospitality. It was the failure to welcome and care for strangers. It was the absence of compassion. In other words, it was the very opposite of the kingdom Jesus proclaims. Wherever people are dehumanized or rejected… wherever power is used to exclude rather than welcome… in those places… it is appropriate to invoke Sodom and Gomorrah. But wherever compassion, hospitality, and love flourish… in those places… the kingdom of God is drawing near. This week, as many of us celebrated the start of Pride Month, I saw glimpses of that kingdom. I saw people who felt safe and seen. …I saw people free to celebrate who God created them to be. I saw joy… and love and community… I saw reminders that every human being bears the Imago Dei—the image of God. And that matters. Especially in a week when the Southern Baptist Convention voted to further restrict women's leadership in ministry. Such actions stand in stark contrast to the expansive movement of God's Spirit throughout Scripture. After all, look at the people Jesus called. …Fishermen… Tax collectors… Political zealots… men AND women. Jesus called the powerful and the powerless… the respectable and the overlooked. Jesus gathered an astonishingly diverse community of disciples. It matters… not because diversity just is a modern value… but because God's kingdom has always been larger than our categories… and the church is at its best when it reflects the wideness of God's embrace. Because the good news is that God's grace is for ALL people, and that Christ's love is wider than our fears and our divisions. The good news is that every person is created in God's image and invited into God's beloved community. The good news is that wherever there is genuine love, God is already at work. That is the Gospel… and that is why it matters. Because there are still crowds all around us who are harassed and helpless. People longing for belonging… carrying wounds and wondering if they matter… wondering if they are loved… People searching for peace. And Jesus still sees them. …Jesus still has compassion… and Jesus still sends disciples to greet them… disciples of all colors, genders, and sexualities… Jesus still calls them… and sends them to greet the people that Jesus loves. My hope and prayer is that we become the kind of church that reflects the heart of Christ so clearly that people encounter that compassion through us. And honestly, I already see that here… I saw it at Pride… I saw it at Vacation Bible School… I saw it in the friendships that were formed… the meals shared… the laughter all around… and the welcome extended. Every act of hospitality becomes a witness to the kingdom… Every gesture of welcome becomes an act of evangelism… Every reminder that someone is beloved becomes a proclamation of the Gospel. Because evangelism is not primarily about getting people into church. It is about helping people encounter the love of God. And so… Jesus' invitation today is both simple and challenging. …Go… Go with compassion and humility… Go without needing to control the outcome. Go willing to offer hospitality and… and also… Go willing to receive it. Go… and be ready to recognize the image of God in every person you meet. Go beyond the boundaries of your comfort… beyond the limits of your assumptions. Go… trusting that the Holy Spirit is already at work ahead of you. The harvest is still plentiful. There are still people longing for good news. There are still opportunities to embody Christ's love. There are still communities waiting to experience the transforming power of hospitality. And so let us say yes to this mission… yes to compassion. Let us say yes to welcome… and yes to the delight God takes in the diversity of creation. Let us say yes to sharing the good news that God's love is for all people. For the kingdom of heaven has come near. Thanks be to God. Amen.

We are happy to have you with us! If there are any issues with the stream feel free to message us.

Diligent Teacher with Lisa Earl A Bible podcast for ladies Ep310 - Vacation Bible School Reminders

On an ordinary summer afternoon in 1993, twelve-year-old Sara Anne Wood rode her turquoise bicycle home from Vacation Bible School and vanished without a trace. What followed uncovered a serial predator, a hidden dungeon beneath a house, and a decades-long game of deception played by a killer who still refuses to reveal where Sara rests. But this isn't just the story of a monster... it's the story of a family that turned unimaginable tragedy into a mission that has helped bring thousands of missing children home.

The summer season is completely different from the other seasons of the year. At times, it seems summer slows life down, so you can breathe, take some personal time, and renew yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the same time, summer can be very busy, filled with extra activities, days of travel, and perhaps even many different experiences. Parents with kids at home still have to navigate personal schedules, plus camps, perhaps Vacation Bible School, and other special opportunities children are afforded today.

This week, we celebrated Vacation Bible School at Trinty. The kids spent the week hearing five big truths: God is our Creator. God knows everything. God is our safe place. God is love. God is forever. Those truths are not just for kids. God created us for life with Him and love for one another. Sin bends that love inward, but God shows His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Jesus died for us. Jesus takes our death in our place and for our sake, and He gives us His life. Death was not the last word for Jesus, and because of Him, death is not the last word for us. God made you. God knows you. God loves you in Jesus. God gives you life now and forever. Wow, God. Genesis 1:1-5, 24-31 1 John 4:7-16 Luke 24:1-12

Hi friends! Can you believe VBS is just over 2 weeks away? We're having 3 podcasts over that time to prepare and get excited for Vacation Bible School. Stephanie and Camille are here today to give an overview of this year's VBS!

The One Who Holds it All Together Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Colossians 1:15-17 (NLT) Episode Summary On a 5th Sunday family service, Pastor Michael invites kids up to conduct magnetic experiments while challenging the false idea that you can't love science AND love Jesus. Through Colossians 1:15-17, he reveals that Jesus is the Cosmic Painter and Eternal Engineer behind everything science studies, and that the same Jesus who holds atoms together can hold our lives together. Key Points – Invisible doesn't mean imaginary - just like we can't see magnetic force but can see what it does, we can't see God but can see what He does – Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God - He shows us what God is like in His heart and character by showing love to the forgotten, outcasts, and broken – Jesus created everything visible and invisible - all stars, atoms, molecules, light, matter, energy, space, time, and spiritual powers in the heavenly realms – "Firstborn" doesn't mean born first but first in rank, honor, authority, and supremacy - Jesus has real authority over galaxies and gravity, atoms and angels – Jesus holds all creation together - protons in atoms should repel each other and collapse, but they don't because Jesus sustains the laws that hold creation stable – The Same Jesus who holds the universe together can hold families together, hold our hearts together, and hold us when we're scared, grieving, or falling apart Main Takeaway Jesus made it all, Jesus owns it all, Jesus holds it all together. Science and faith aren't enemies - explaining how something works proves the brilliance of the designer, not that the designer doesn't exist. The more we learn about how the world works, the more we should praise God for making such an amazing world. When life feels like it's falling apart, remember that the Creator of Life is strong enough to hold you together. Memorable Quotes – "Jesus made it all, Jesus owns it all, Jesus holds it all together." – "Invisible doesn't mean imaginary." – "Science shows us how. Faith shows us Who." – "Science doesn't make God smaller. It shows us more and more how BIG He Is!" – "Jesus loves us and laid down His Life for us. And then He Rose Again, because The Creator of Life can't be conquered by death." – "The Same Jesus Who Holds the universe together can help us hold it together." – "If you're turning your heart toward Jesus, He attracts you. If you're turning away, you resist His Love." Reflection Question What parts of your life feel like they're falling apart? Are you willing to trust the One who holds atoms together with holding your heart, your family, and your future together? Tune in to hear the interactive magnetic experiments with kids, why spilled milk never spells out the meaning of life (proving accidents make messes, not masterpieces), the explanation of why atoms don't blow apart, and why Pastor Michael is excited about Vacation Bible School's "Glad Scientist" theme.

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Cliff Hines, Hannah Buttram, and Josh Hensley join the conversation to unpack Sunday's message on anticipation, waiting, and being spiritually ready for the return of Christ. Along the way, the crew shares hilarious confessions about traffic rage, Amazon tracking habits, ruined surprises, airport timing, and why microwaves are apparently a spiritual test. The discussion balances humor with honest reflection as they wrestle through how waiting reveals our trust, patience, and priorities. The second half of the episode shifts into a deeper conversation around not wasting seasons of waiting, how believers can actively prepare themselves for Christ, and what life would actually look like if we truly believed Jesus was returning soon. The team also highlights upcoming opportunities at New Work Fellowship, including foster care support initiatives and Vacation Bible School, while encouraging listeners to step into faith instead of staying spiritually stagnant. It's a meaningful and surprisingly relatable conversation about living ready, living expectantly, and making the most of the time God has given us.

What if this summer became the season you finally stopped “starting over” with your health? In this special summer kickoff episode of Fat Loss School, Amy Bryan shares why summer may actually be the BEST time for women over 50 to improve their health, lose fat, build strength, and create lasting healthy habits. Instead of viewing summer as a season of vacations, cookouts, and falling off track, this episode reframes summer as an opportunity for: ☀️ more movement ☀️ more joy ☀️ more fresh foods ☀️ more energy ☀️ and more consistency with healthy habits Amy also shares insights from Gretchen Rubin's book Design Your Year and encourages women to intentionally design their summer around the feelings, activities, rhythms, and health goals they want most in this season of life. If you are tired of: starting over every Monday waiting until fall to “get serious” struggling with consistency after menopause or feeling stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle… This episode will encourage you to approach summer differently.
