Apr 2600:40:52Tap to summarizeWhat has God been speaking to you in this season? Can you look back and make some connections between different points of contact where the Spirit has been moving in you? As I reflect on a recent encounter with the love of the Father, I find myself making connections to the word God gave me for 2026.
Transcribe →Are We in the End Times?
Apr 100:40:52Tap to summarizeWhen you look around you, have you heard people ask (or wondered yourself) if we are in the "end times"? Where does this idea come from? You may be surprised to find that the version of this theological framework is relatively new by Church history standards - only 150 years - and is part of what is called Dispensationalism. Let's explore and see if what we are being told is consistent with the testimony of Jesus and the Scriptures.
Transcribe →In the Lord's Army?
Mar 1300:40:52Tap to summarizeThere has been a lot of religious rhetoric with the outbreak of military action against Iran, as well as from Sec. Def. Pete Hegseth. As followers of Jesus, who told us to love our enemies, who laid his life down for his enemies (us!), how are we to think of the language being used to support military action? Let's explore.
Transcribe →Blaspheming the Name of God?
Feb 2700:44:27Tap to summarizeMy friend and mentor, Bob Ekblad, recently wrote an article on the Church in North America and its support of the agendas and actions being promoted by the present administration. Bob quotes Romans 2, where Paul writes that "the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you," and directs this prophetic critique toward the American Church and ties it to idolatry. Ready or not, here we go!
Transcribe →God Met Me in the Closet of My Unresolved Pain
Feb 600:44:17Tap to summarizeAfter more than three years, we are back with Willow Weston, as she talks about her book, "Collide, Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt." Willow shares about how Jesus met her when she was hiding in the closet with her pain and brought her out into healing. This book is a permission slip for people to name their pain and begin courageously saying Yes to letting God heal it. Join us and begin to experience the power and healing found in Jesus.
Transcribe →Get Desperate for God
Jan 2300:42:13Tap to summarize"The God of the Universe wants me alive!" This realization changed everything for my friend, Caleb Epps. Join us as he tells his amazing story of the powerful work Jesus did in him and is doing through him as he lives from a place of being desperate for God to show up.
Transcribe →What Was Lost Has Been Found
Jan 900:40:52Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I share a family story of restoration. I'm not going to tell you more, so I don't give it away. But I believe God wants to restore what has been lost in families in this season. Get ready for a miracle!
Transcribe →Year-End Examen
Dec 3000:40:52Tap to summarizeThe end of the year offers us the opportunity for a calendar-specific spiritual exercise of the year-end examen. The examen is a relatively simple practice, often done daily or weekly, to pause and take note of God's presence throughout the day, as well as where we missed Him. The year-end examen offers the opportunity to reflect with Jesus on 2025, and be in conversation with Him about the year to come. After we set it up, we will take time to go through the questions as they guide us in our reflection.If you would like to partner with me in making this podcast possible by giving a year-end donation, please go to www.church-withoutwalls.org and click on Donate.

Transcribe →Advent: God with Us in the Tabernacle, the Temple, and in Jesus
Dec 1200:40:52Tap to summarizeIt is Advent, when we celebrate the arrival of Jesus. John sees about him that "the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us." Today we explore how the tabernacle and the Temple were the place where heaven and earth met, how this is true of Jesus, and (spoiler alert) that it is true of each of us!If you'd like to support the work of Church Without Walls with a year-end donation, please go to www.church-withoutwalls.org and click on the donate link.
