Ep. 6 - Faith Over Fear
God Stories
03/02/24 • 30 min
Jesus calls us to leave everything behind to follow Him - but doing so can sometimes be a little scary.
In Isaiah 41 God says to his people
Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Today, Pastor Gary and his wife Carol pick up from last week’s conversation sharing from their personal experiences about what it truly means to walk by faith. We’re reminded that God is always with us and is faithful to provide for our needs. No matter what we face in life, we can trust that God will never leave us nor forsake us.

The Healing Touch of Jesus
God Stories
05/02/25 • 45 min
“A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. “If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,” he said.
Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed.” - Mark 1:40-42
This passage of scripture is so powerful because every single one of us need the healing touch of Jesus upon our lives. Maybe you’re facing a seemingly impossible situation - an injury, a diagnosis and things seem bleak.
In today's study of God's word, we're reminded to come to the Lord with all things, knowing that nothing is impossible for Him.

Ep. 14 - Peace for the Prayerful
God Stories
09/20/24 • 36 min
In the book of Philippians - Paul encourages us to not worry about anything, but rather to pray about everything. Tell God what we need, and thank Him for all He has done. And as we do this, we will experience the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding.
Life can be busy, stressful and overwhelming. And if we’re not careful, we can find ourselves feeling like we’re drowning under our burdens.
Praise the Lord - that He invites to come to Him as we are, and cast our burdens upon Him.
Today - Pastor Gary and I are back in the studio to discuss the recap of our annual fundraiser, give an update to Joab from our feeding center and discuss the blessing and power we can all find in prayer.

No Greater Love Than This
God Stories
11/11/24 • 29 min
In John 15:13, Jesus says, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
As we celebrate this Veteran’s Day may we take time to remember the men and women who gave their lives so that we could live freely in this great nation. May we be bold to go out of our way to thank those who are veteran’s or are currently service members for our country.
In today’s episode, Pastor Gary shares a devotional on what Veteran’s Day means to him, and reminds us of the freedoms we have in Christ because of the ultimate sacrifice He paid for us on the cross through the shedding of His blood.
As we look to the example of Jesus, we’re reminded to live as He did, putting others before ourselves with humility and love.

Ep. 5 - God Qualifies The Called
God Stories
02/24/24 • 32 min
In the book of Acts Jesus says to his apostles,
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
This command from Jesus is known as the great commission. Some might mistake that this command only applied to his apostles back then, but in fact, it’s relevant for the Christian church today.
In this episode, Pastor Gary and his wife Carol share from their personal experiences what it looks like to respond in obedience to this command. We’re reminded that God does not call the qualified, but rather He qualifies the called.
