Friend of Sinners // Fast Pass
Mar 8, 202000:30:04Tap to summarizeFRIEND OF SINNERS // WEEK 1 // Grace = Jesus grabbing us by the hand + taking us to the front. Jesus didn’t come for the most deserving — He came for the least deserving. He didn’t come for those who have it all together — He came for those whose lives are falling apart. // Let’s explore why Jesus cares more about relationship than perfection over a series of 4 podcasts. // 1 of 4
Transcribe →Farm to Table
Mar 1, 202000:29:38Tap to summarizeJesus was ENOUGH, so you don’t have to be. HE is our perfect sacrifice + High Priest. He has given us direct access to God, so let’s start living like it. // 1 of 1
Transcribe →Darkroom Development
Feb 23, 202000:36:26Tap to summarizeForgotten by man. But seen by God. // We are made in the image of God. And just as film goes through development in a darkroom -- transforming a captured image from a negative into a full color print -- we go through cycles of development as our proximity to Jesus increases our exposure to more of Jesus. We are a generation that longs for the stage, longs to be placed in a frame + put in an art gallery but despises the darkroom. As if promotion can happen without development? Before David was king, he was shepherd. It was the field that prepared him for his next assignment : Goliath + ultimately King. His field was his darkroom. The level at which we are willing to let God into the hidden and intimate places of our life determines our level of exposure + development preparing us for what’s next. God always has more + calls us higher. // Let’s explore what it means to develop in the darkroom. // 1 of 1
Transcribe →We didn't start the fire.
Feb 16, 202000:35:36Tap to summarizeThe final installment in our ALL THE FEELS series was a GOOD one!! We didn’t start the fire. God did. // Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Genesis 1:28 // “The same fire that heats your home, makes your food, starts your car — it’s the same fire that can burn down everything in your house. The only difference between the fire — is the fire has a container.” // Pastor @iammiketodd Marriage is the container for sex. The covenant of marriage is the intended way to use the gift that God has given us. // Let’s explore how to navigate our feelings through a series of 3 podcasts. // 3 of 3
Transcribe →All the Feels // Say It Don't Spray It
Feb 9, 202000:35:10Tap to summarizeWorking at a plant nursery + driving the tractor spraying roundup will teach you it’s important to know what you’re spraying and where you’re spraying it. All of us are constantly spraying something with our words -- whether it’s roundup and killing everything, or water with words that build + edify -- and it’s an indicator of our heart. Feelings affect the contents in our tank, and left unresolved cause our words to become toxic. Finding a space to process our feelings + weigh them against the word of God creates a place of healing in our hearts + grounds us in our relationships. // Let’s explore how to navigate our feelings through a series of 3 podcasts. // 2 of 3
Transcribe →All the Feels // Clarity in Conflict
Feb 2, 202000:34:16Tap to summarizeFeelings are a great gauge and a terrible guide. How do we allow ourselves to feel + process life around us, but not let our emotions rule + lead us? How do we not: judge ourselves by our intentions + others by how we feel? How do we adjust that warped perspective and process life differently? // Let’s explore how to build + invest into lasting relationships and learn healthy ways to navigate our feelings through a series of 3 podcasts. // 1 of 3
Transcribe →Behind the Scenes // ONE YEAR
Jan 26, 202000:38:11Tap to summarizeIt’s our ONE YEAR birthday + that means celebration is definitely in order!! Today we celebrate. Our win is simple : seeing God transform lives. Our finish line : when all are awakened to the light + love of Jesus. Lean in -- in this conversation with 3 friends that we’d likely not know if C3 City Light had not launched a year ago. These stories are powerful + a picture of God’s incredible love for you.
Transcribe →Frequency // week three
Jan 19, 202000:38:45Tap to summarizeKinda like in science where you have both class + lab, today is the lab -- the application of what we've learned. Today's topic: how to hear. Learning that depth in relationship happens when we operate in two-way communication with God. We communicate with God through his word + through his Spirit // in spirit + truth. // Let’s explore what FREQUENCY means over a series of 3 podcasts. // 3 of 3
Transcribe →Frequency // week two
Jan 12, 202000:37:05Tap to summarizeDealing with distractions. It's difficult to hear a whisper, when everyone + everything around you is yelling and demanding your attention. Waiting slows us down so we can hear the voice of God. Waiting is an active decision to intentionally create space. // Let’s explore what FREQUENCY means over a series of 3 podcasts. // 2 of 3
Transcribe →Frequency // week one
Jan 5, 202000:25:23Tap to summarizeSelf-discipline is great (& needed!) but nothing propels us forward like a Word from God! 🎉 We can hear from God anytime we want. He speaks through His scriptures & His Spirit -- we just have to listen. God is always speaking -- we just have to tune in to HIS frequency to hear it. The goal of today's message is to walk away with enough faith to believe that I CAN hear what God is saying to me. // Let’s explore what FREQUENCY means over a series of 3 podcasts. // 1 of 3
