“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” This old adage is said often but completely untrue. Many of us can probably think of plenty of times when the power of words have torn us down or inspired us forward in a positive direction. Lean in with Newbreak Church as we see what James has to say about the power of the words we speak!
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to not be quick to speak when our words can have serious effects
2. Encouraged to be generous in giving our encouragement, especially to those who need it!

James has some strong words for those who say they have faith but they don’t do anything with it. “Your faith is dead!” Strong words, but he is right! Jesus brings us to new life through faith in him and now we are challenged to put our faith into action to serve those around us. Join us as we highlight some of our local impact partners who are helping us make a difference in our city!
As you listen in, you will be:
challenged to see ourselves as participating in God’s mission in our city
encouraged to pray, give, and go serve locally

We all play favorites. We have a favorite restaurant, a favorite sports team, a favorite movie, etc. Favorites are fine, when applied to these things. But favorites are wrong when it comes to how we treat other people–especially when we let the social-scorecard deem who matters and who doesn’t. In God’s economy, we are all his favorites! Lean in with us as we talk about the value of all people and how to treat each other through the eyes of God’s amazing mercy!
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to see ourselves as all level at the foot of the cross
2. Encouraged to take steps of mercy and compassion towards those who are not treated as equals

When we are shaken by a hardship in life, we see our true character come out! None of us like trials, but we all go through them. And our choice in the matter is how we will respond to trials, letting them shape us or shatter us. Lean in as Newbreak Church learns from Pastor Brayden Brookshier to see our trials as opportunities to grow!
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to ask God for wisdom to know how to navigate trials
2. Encouraged to see the goodness of God in the thick of a hard season

Our past can define us, and often in detrimental ways. In the aftermath of Easter we have a story about a discipline who needed restoration. Lean in as we see ourselves being restored to continue following Jesus forward.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to receive the restoration Jesus wants to offer us
2. Encouraged to take steps forward in faith toward Jesus

What would it be like to be a fly on the wall as Jesus prayed when he was here on earth? Fortunately, we have a glimpse into that as John, one of his disciples, listened to Jesus pray during his last night before his crucifixion. Lean in as we see how the prayer of Jesus provides the mission and motivations we are to have as we live as his followers!
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to live “set apart” lives as followers of Christ
2. Encouraged to see how Jesus prays for us as we live in this world

What does growing as a Christ-follower look like? Surprisingly, growth does not look like becoming more independent and self-sufficient but actually more reliant on Jesus. That’s where Jesus brings in our role in the relationship: “Remain in me.” Join us as we look at this important passage of what it means for Jesus to be the vine and for us to be his branches!
As you listen to Pastor JoAnn Johnson, you will be:
1. Challenged to confront the ways we try to live life apart from Jesus
2. Encouraged to see the call to “remain” is the call to rest in his love

What makes someone great? Maybe we think of someone who has amassed wealth; or the recent Heisman trophy winner; or the actress with multiple Emmy nominations. But what if those great achievements don’t make someone truly great in the eyes of Jesus? Lean in as we look at the example of Christ himself, as he shows us what true greatness and servant leadership looks like.
As you listen to Brooks Fuller, you will be:
1. Challenged to serve even those who are hard to love
2. Encouraged to become like Jesus by serving like him

“You should have been there!” We have said that in happy and hard circumstances. Especially in hard circumstances, we may look up in a posture of prayer and say: “God, you should have been there!” Mary and Martha knew what it was like to feel disappointed, even telling Jesus that he should have been present before Lazarus, their brother had died. Lean into this heart-felt message as we see how Jesus responds to our dire circumstances and crisis.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to bring your pain to Jesus
2. Encouraged to see the compassion of Christ in the face of death
