• 112 - Better News E4 (Brooklyn Howard)
    Nov 12 2024

    Join us for this episode to hear more about the work that Brooklyn Howard is doing in the country of Mozambique. Mozambique is Portuguese speaking country and Brooklyn teaches English to the Makua-Metto people; one of the most unreached people groups in South-Eastern Africa. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world, and this region is one of the poorest in the country. Teaching English by using the Bible as a textbook, the students not only learn English, but also learn about the Gospel. As a result of Brooklyn’s work, Muslim individuals are currently studying the Bible to learn about Jesus. Tune in to hear more about what God is up to!

  • 111 - Theology of the Body E1
    Nov 4 2024

    Scripture teaches that our bodies are good gifts from God and what we do with them matters. The aim of this podcast conversation, in tandem with Matt's Sunday morning Bible class, will be to equip followers of Jesus with a healthy theology of the body in a world increasingly asking questions about gender and sexuality.

    Join Matt, Emily S, Emily R, & Daniel for this conversation - and make plans to join us at 10am on Sunday mornings for more on this topic.

  • 106 - Better News E3 (Rachel Robertson - CBS)
    Sep 16 2024

    Don't you love a good story? Good news? We all have access to so many different news outlets at all times and the underlying story seems to always point to everything that's going wrong and hostility and chaos. While it is good to stay aware of the happenings around the world, this overwhelming amount of negative news can often leave someone discouraged and wondering where God is in all of this.

    This fall, we want to share some good news with you! God is active and at work and good things are happening not only in our church community, but in our city. Tune in each week to be encouraged by some good news!
