Substance Podcast - Audio

Quite often, we "know God's truth" yet still lack the motivation and peace God has promised us. What do we do then? Get ready to explore a powerful spiritual discipline that converts head knowledge into heart knowledge: the power of meditation. (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:3; Hebrews 4:1-2).

In this humorous message, Pastor Peter talks about the unique challenges of dealing with family throughout the holidays.  Staying full of God's life is hard enough. But sometimes our families have a way of bringing out the worst?  Why is this?  And what Biblical disciplines can we employ that will make it easier to spread peace on earth and goodwill towards men? (Mk 3:20; 2 Tim. 2:23-24).

After diving into some interesting research on happiness, we uncover Jesus' unconventional formula for happiness: "lose your life and you will find it."  The pursuit of happiness is not intuitive – which is why we must constantly remind ourselves about Christ's non-conventional path.  (Luke 9:23; Luke 12:13-21; Ecclesiastes 6:1-3)

Pastor Matt Keller encourages us to rise up and trust God in everything. Judges 6 & 7

What does God look like in your life today? Pastor Carolyn Haas helps us answer this question and teaches us how we can be an influence to those around us, even when we feel like "underdogs". (Psalm 46:1-3)

We all have moments when we feel completely underqualified and discouraged. But when you understand the chara (Exodus 3)cter of God, it changes everything.  No matter how bad your circumstances, its time to get back in the game.  Get ready to meet the God of the Underdogs. (Exodus 3)

After sharing a short "state of the church update" Pastor Peter takes us the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5000.  Part of the reason why this story has captivated the church for generations is because, Jesus gives us numerous behaviors that precede the miraculous.  Do you need a miracle?  Then follow Jesus' example. (Mark 6:30-44)

If the devil was to attack you, how would he do it?  By meditating on this question, we can learn one of the fastest ways to experience Biblical promotion.  But are you on the fast track to promotion? Listen to a classic Bible story to find out. (Daniel 4)

How intimate are we really with our Heavenly Father?  Self-control naturally flows from a person who is in sync with their heavenly Father. Pastor Peter explains how to “live on God’s Word” in the desert times of our lives.  (Deut. 8:2-3)

Many of us think mistake "knowledge acquisition" for the process of transformation. As a result, we get discouraged that change doesn't happen - or doesn't happen at the speed we want.  After discussing numerous scriptures, get ready to learn the Biblical causes of true change. (Philippians 2:13)

Pastor Rob Ketterling talks about having a responsive heart, humbling yourself before God and being ready to act when God calls upon you. Will you change BECAUSE you have you to or will you change BEFORE you have to?
