  • Let's Talk Pregnancy
    Mar 14 2025

    With our special guest, Hannah Bakken, Mary and Paul chat about the wonderful gift of new life as Mary and Hannah share their thoughts, beliefs, and feelings about being expecting mothers. Culture sometimes makes it awkward when talking about important topics like pregnancy, fertility, miscarriages, menopause, and so forth, but we believe the church is called to be a family, and these are incredibly important topics about which we ought to have healthy and mature conversations as Christ followers. Let's dive into this discussion!

  • Let's Talk Money Part 2
    Aug 26 2024

    This episode is a "part two" to the theological conversation we had about money in the previous episode--Episode 4--where we discussed personal financial stewardship. In this episode, we'll discuss corporate financial stewardship, the importance of radical generosity when it comes to giving to God, and we'll even talk about our budgeting process as we tackle the annual church budget as a church family. We really enjoyed having this conversation; we hope you'll enjoy it, too.

  • Let's Talk Money
    Aug 25 2024

    In today's episode, we're going to talk about money. The way we earn, save, and spend money is incredibly relevant when it comes to talking about discipleship and faithfully following Jesus. With our Executive Pastor, Jordan Scott, as our guest, we delve into a passionate conversation about money and our faith. The conversation was too good to cut off, so we've split the episode into two parts. This episode will primarily focus on personal financial stewardship, but be sure to catch our next episode, which is a continuation of this conversation where we focus on corporate financial stewardship as a church family. We'll talk about our church budget and bring you into our budgeting process a bit, too. We also have a theological discussion on the importance of radical giving. We hope you enjoy both episodes!

  • Remembering Dr. Tim Keller
    Jun 4 2023
    Dr. Timothy J. Keller leaves an incredible legacy of faith and effective gospel proclamation through his numerous sermons, books, articles, and other materials, but the way in which he lived for Christ is perhaps the most inspirational part of his legacy. In this episode, Paul and Mary are joined by Pastor Jayson Oldham as they reflect on Dr. Keller's impact on their lives and ministries. Hebrews 13:7 encourages us to "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith." We are thankful to have had an awesome example of faith.
