Stephen‘s PodcastApr 05, 2019
Ep. 75 Stop Going Back
Ep. 76 Start Going Forward
When Jesus came to his disciples on that first Resurrection Sunday, He gave them a pathway out of the trauma they had just experienced in watching His death. He offered to them the same hope and power we are given today to deal with wickedness done against us. He gave them the power to forgive. In this message, Pastor Stephen teaches how Jesus' death and resurrection can empower you to forgive those who have hurt you.
Ep. 74 Satisfy Your Thirst
Ep. 73 Abiding with Jesus
Ep. 72 Follow Me
Ep. 71 The Prayer of Faith (Part 2)
Ep. 70 The Prayer of Faith (Part 1)
Ep. 69 Saving Faith
Hitting the walls of stress, turmoil, and relational tensions while hoping to discover your eternal purpose? Maybe you’ve resorted to merely avoiding difficulties by hiding under an overloaded schedule. But deep down, you know that you're born for more. You hope for fulfillment and a life of purpose and meaning. The journey out of your current situation into a life of significance is the same story of every Biblical hero. So, how do you find the pathway Jesus has for you to become the man or woman He created you to be? It begins with a word we often talk about but have little experience with- faith. In this message, Stephen discusses the power and practice of Saving Faith.
Ep. 68 Healing Faith
In times of turmoil, sickness, loss, or devastation, powerful lies can be forged in our souls. Lies that fault God for our pain leave us with little faith in what He has said concerning our lives. But there is a way to escape from the pit of despair. Jesus, in His great love for us, invites us to listen and believe in His healing power. This Sunday, we’ll be teaching how your faith can open the healing and delivering power of Jesus in your life.
Ep. 67 An Open Door- First Love
Ep. 66 An Open Door of God's Presence
Ep. 65 An Open Door- Confidence
Ep. 64 An Open Door: Forgiveness
Ep. 63 Peace on Earth
“Peace on earth, goodwill to men,” angelic voices proclaimed above the grazing grounds outside of the quaint town called Bethlehem (Luke 2:14). Their proclamation was heard by only a few and understood by less. This supernatural moment marked the beginning of the well-known Christmas story. Though picturesque moments of Christmas are often a part of our experience, Christmas today is a far reality from the world into which the angels announced Jesus’ arrival. Did peace truly come to earth?
This question concerns us as much today as it did the communities of ancient Israel. If the peace wasn’t delivered by liberation from oppressors, then how did it enter our world? The peace that the angels spoke of was not a political peace, rather it was an offer extended to a restless humanity.
Ep. 62 When Changes Happen
Ep. 61 A Community of Compassion
We can easily become overwhelmed with the many difficulties that impact us and the lives of those we love. Sometimes, the excess of demands can push us to shut down our heart of compassion. However, it is through compassion that we can be the doorway through which Jesus can make Himself known. In this podcast, Pastor Stephen teaches about every believer's eternal purpose in becoming a conduit for the touch of God in our community.
Ep. 60 Jesus Heals Part 2
As we often realize, healing can extend beyond one's need for a physical miracle. What if this realization is a key to sustaining a life marked by God's presence? In the atonement of Jesus, we are given access to experience healing within our body, soul, and spirit. This three-fold revelation of healing is key to the fullness God desires for us to experience and to deliver a lost world. In this podcast, Pastor Stephen continues his teaching on "Jesus Heals."
Ep. 59 Jesus Heals-Part 1
Ep. 58 Sustaining Strength
This reality has left many gasping for relief. Is this how you were called to follow Jesus, living from one storm to another?
How can you prevail against the floodwaters of turbulent times? Jesus offers us a “rest” that is not absent of difficulties but a sustaining strength through them. In this podcast Pastor Stephen teaches how you can experience a daily, God-given peace amidst the storms in your life.
Ep. 57 A People of God's Presence
As civilization stretched out across an Iraqi desert, a young Abraham abandoned his father's heritage in response to God's calling. Why was he chosen? What marked Abraham above all others? What vision or hope was seeded into his soul by the God who identified Himself as "the God of Abraham"? Listen in to Stephen's message on "a people of God's presence," as Pastor Stephen gives answers to these questions and pulls us into realizing God's great purpose within our city.
Ep. 56 The Practice of Pursuit
Ep. 55 The Chase
Ep. 54 A War of Loves
Underlying many of the struggles in our lives is a battle for our affections. The pull of day-to-day tensions and the lure of our culture to love oneself are pressures that were once identified as “the world.” The systems of this world work in direct opposition to a love for God, which the Holy Spirit wants to cultivate in you. In this message, discover how you can overcome the deception of our day as we talk about the war of loves.
Ep. 53 Live by Faith
How can you obtain strength and sustain hope amidst the assault of wickedness against your life and those you love? Laid in the foundation of the Christian faith, there is a tremendous truth that can empower you to fight and live in victory. In this episode, Pastor Stephen unlocks the mystery and timeless power of how “the just shall live by faith.”
Ep. 52 Frustrated
Ep. 51 Changed
We celebrate the life Jesus made possible by His death and resurrection each Easter. With gratitude and hope, many transition from this holiday’s joys to the monotony of another Monday through Friday. The struggle is real, and the longer you've been in this Christian walk, the more you can feel a little jilted by what is promised versus what is experienced. Sure, you have those mountain-top moments, but truth be told, you also have a lot more non-terrain days. Is there something you're missing about this acclaimed walk with Jesus? Could there be an eternal work God is beckoning you to experience? Yes. Yes, there is. In this podcast, Pastor Stephen dives into this question with his message entitled "Changed."
Ep. 50 Prayer
Ep. 49 Dangerous Distractions
Surrounded by a current of a spiritual awakening in our nation, our eyes are open to the brokenness of our generation and the generation to come. Though you long for One who can bring peace to your torments, hope to despair, and healing to sickness, what keeps you from encountering Him? Too often, passion for Jesus can be aborted by distractions that offer temporary hope. Are you willing to press through false finish lines to enter into the fullness of God’s abiding presence? What are you willing to do to experience Jesus?
Ep. 48 Travailing Prayer
Between the crashing of one life event after another, the moments of respite seem to be shorter. Have you recently asked, “how am I going to make it through this ?” Maybe you’re not in a whirlwind of concerns now, but the future isn’t looking promising. How do you strengthen your soul for the days to come? What power has the Holy Spirit given to His Church to oppose the growing darkness of our time? In this podcast, Pastor Stephen parallels the Biblical story of Hannah and Samuel with the mandate we have to intercede for breakthroughs in our own lives.
Ep. 47 Consuming Fire
We often talk about revival as if it is a recent movement in the Church, but the concept stretches back to humanity's origins. We were made to live in God's presence. From the Garden of Eden to Moses to Solomon's Temple, God has desired to break into our daily existence and live with us. This passion of the Father, when it becomes our passion, is the heart of revival. What does it take to make one's thought life and home life a place for God's actual presence? It takes sacrifice— a perpetual laying down of one's life to find the true life that is in Jesus.
Ep. 46 Enduring Hope Part 2
Overwhelmed?
It's a force we face too often. We can feel flooded by storms of personal struggles, relational tensions, and political and social torrents of bad news. However, the turbulence of our times is nothing new to the followers of Jesus.
The gospel shines like a lighthouse of hope amidst a darkening horizon stretched from the first century to this one. In our labor to keep hope shining bright, we can expect the winds of discouragement. But we can also expect a greater grace from Jesus to resist wickedness until a new day dawns.
In the context of this tension, we will look again at the letter of James to the New Testament Church. Tonight, Pastor Stephen will continue his teaching on "Enduring Hope."
Ep 45 Enduring Hope Part 1
Suffering is reality we all face. From the loss of loved ones to tensions of relationships, some difficulties are inevitable. In facing our trials of faith, the letter of James offers key truths to endure through suffering. In this podcast Pastor Stephen teaches the vital perspective that can aid you through your times of difficulty.
Ep 44 The Cost of Hope
Ep 43 Restoring Hope
In a parallel history, the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah unveiled God's response to a prodigal nation that lost its purpose in the world. Could ancient Israel's plight be an indicator of things to come in our current day? As we look back to the nature of God's response to a broken Israel, we can find hope for the days ahead. Join me tomorrow as we discover God's process of restoring His people.
Ep 42 Defeating Discouragement
Discouragement can easily creep into our souls as we are impacted by the chaos around us. From losing family and close friends to COVID to workplace tensions or the burdens of world-shaking tragedies, disheartening events can domino around us. If we are not prepared, the heaviness of life can drag us into the trenches of discouragement. How do you remain diligent in your day-to-day pursuit of loving God and loving people well? In this episode, Pastor Stephen discusses the keys to defeating discouragement.
Ep 41 God's Counsel in Dark Times
40 The Road Less Traveled
Ep 39 Finding Freedom Part 2
Ep 38 Finding Freedom Part 1
Ep 37 Are We in the End Times?
Ep 36 Honor
Ep 35 Enduring to the End
Optimism is powerful. However, the brightness of hope for the future can blind us to inevitable difficulties. As much as we expect the goodness of God to follow us, there is a reality of evil in the world which we must endure. How do we fortify our souls for the difficult days ahead? Jesus gave us a powerful directive to "endure to the end." Join me tonight as we dive into the discussion of endurance in difficult times.
Ep 34 A Reason for Hope Part 3- Forgiveness
Isolation and fear can lead one to dark pathways. We've watched in shock as friends and family have been derailed by the side effects of the pandemic, politics, and conspiracies. Adding to the agony of our day, the cumulative stresses of fear and isolation have inflicted a test upon many, for which we were not prepared. We are at a crossroads of moving forward in our eternal-purpose or remaining paralyzed by a predatory fear of the future. Isolation and offense have crippled so many, and their paralyzing effects are now being realized. How do we push past the fears and offense? How do we take up our weapons of faith and forge ahead?
The secret to resilience may be found in the most common and most misunderstood of Christian truths- forgiveness. Allowing God to demonstrate His forgiveness through you can empower you to move into a new day. This is the pathway to move forward in the face of fear, opposition, and even blatant persecution.

Ep 33 A Reason for Hope Part 2- The Battle Within
Do you feel your confidence rising and falling between the waves of discouragement and momentary hope? It's only natural to hope for something or someone to anchor you to a sense of stability. In this podcast, Pastor Stephen discusses the pathway to victory over the battles within your soul. There is a way to live in victory regardless of the conflict raging around you.

Ep 32 A Reason for Hope Part 1- God in Us
The simplicity of what it means to follow Jesus can often be lost in religious jargon and complicated theology. However, as we consider th earliest of writings by the apostles, they can unfold for us the powerful and clear truths of what in means to have God's Spirit in us. Join Pastor Stephen as he discusses the first chapter of his recently published book, A Reason for Hope.

Ep 31 The Way
A battle is raging. The enemy's lies and God's promises have collided and exploded out of the realm of nominal beliefs into hostile opinions that are dividing families. How can we gain victory in our lives over the assault of the enemy? Do we wait for a final moment of deliverance, or is there a way to live victorious through our battles? Yes, there is a "way" of life which Jesus invites us to enter.

Ep 30 Enduring through the Darkness Part 2
Thousands of years ago, a musician in the temple band took up his pen to file his complaint with God. He watched his nation ransacked by enemies while political and social injustices violated the ones he loved. It appeared that God’s people had been abandoned, and God seemed to do little in response to the upheaval and chaos. Then the prophet Habakkuk received a clear and strong word from God. The direction he received can aid us today. In this podcast, Pastor Stephen discusses Habakkuk’s letter and the keys he discovered to endure through dark times.

Ep 27 Hearing God in the Tough Times
Hearing God's voice can be difficult. Discerning God's voice during times of turbulence can be even more challenging. As the explosions of unexpected events add to the noise of your emotional storm, the voice of Jesus can seem hard to hear. In this episode, Pastor Stephen will take you through the life of King David to glean the principles he used to hear God's voice in seasons of his struggle.
