In this episode of the Connect Podcast, Pastor Cole and Pastor Bobby dive deep into the character and attributes of God. Many people have misconceptions about God, shaping Him into their own image. But the Bible gives us a clear, unshakable foundation for knowing who God truly is. This episode will explore God’s nature, His communicable and incommunicable attributes, and why understanding God’s character transforms our faith and daily lives.

In this episode of the Connect Podcast, we dive into 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 and Acts 2 to explore how Christians are called to “speak different languages” to reach people with the gospel. Whether it’s engaging kids in KonnectionKids, connecting with students in YNG, or launching our new Spanish-speaking service, we are called to meet people where they are. Join us as we discuss the power of adapting our approach without changing the message—and pray over Pastor Javier and Juanita as they step into this exciting new ministry.

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and spiritually disconnected. But what if the key to peace isn’t about balancing everything perfectly—but finding the right rhythm? In this episode of The Connect Podcast, we explore how to stay spiritually grounded even when life feels chaotic.

Join us as we dive into:

✅ The myth of balance and why life is really about rhythm
