Have you ever had a time when you had to live with a roommate? Maybe it was during college or during a part of your early adulthood or some other circumstances. When you live with a roommate it is like living with a stranger. Many of us view the Holy Spirit in a similar way. He is like a stranger who has access to us but we don’t know how to interact with him. Listen in to JoAnn Johnson at the Newbreak Church Tierrasanta Campus as we talk about what the Holy Spirit unlocks for us as we kick off this series!
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to let the Holy Spirit show you a better way of living
2. Encouraged to open yourself to the Holy Spirit

There are numerous stories coming from our global partners telling us about how the unreached are actually being reached with the life-changing message of Jesus! When we hear this we double down on our belief that we are to continue to support these partners and also that we are to live more like them in our own context as well.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to embrace a “Live Dead” mentality
2. Encouraged to see how our contribution participates in the Great Commission!

The headlines are always despairing. It is easy to lose hope and wonder how God’s word provides us guidance to carry on. But that’s why we need the message of Daniel chapter 7. Lean in as we talk about the pattern, the promise, and the plan that carries us forward from Babylon then to Babylon now!
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to not let despair shape our worldview
2. Encouraged to live as people of hope since we know the pattern and promise of God

Fair weather fans are looked down upon by sports enthusiasts. These are the fans who switch their allegiance based on their team’s performance. They love a team one week when all is well but then abandon them when they are not winning. This serves as a great analogy for the life of faith. Join us as we look at what it means to be faithful to God, not wavering in our commitment even as hardships arise.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to dig deep and develop courage in the midst of cultural hostility
2. Encouraged to grasp some tools that help us remain faithful

Soda enthusiasts will tell you they can tell the difference between Coca-Cola and a counterfeit version. There is a difference even if it is hard to tell. Our faith can be like that. Culture has counterfeit versions of what God offers but they are counterfeit, they aren’t the real thing! Lean in as we talk about how we live with genuine faith in a counterfeit culture.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to see how our worship is challenged
2. Encouraged to see how God walks through the fire with us

Hindsight is 20/20. We know that. But what if we shifted our perspective? What if we trusted that God is brewing something right now in the midst of “Babylon’s reign”? In other words, we do not have to wait to look back at how God is piecing his plan together, we can trust he is at work right now. Lean in as we talk about our role in Babylon as we live with the expectation that God is moving and at work in the thick of it all.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to see God’s hand at work in the midst of the challenges
2. Encouraged to take action when God prompts us

Do you remember your parent or some sort of adult figure challenging you to not follow the direction of your peers? It used to go something like this: “If your friends jumped off a cliff would you, too?” There is a point to be made. For Daniel and his friends, being captives in Babylon did not mean they had to assimilate to the ways of Babylon. Early on they faced a defining choice. And whether we know it or not, so do we. We have a choice to make that will determine our integrity and our influence.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to make pre-decisions that align with our biblical worldview
2. Encouraged to stand our ground with tact and respect

We live in a defining hour of history. The Western world and our country’s moral landscape have changed and are changing faster than we can keep pace. What was once wrong is now right and what was once unacceptable is now celebrated. We are living in a type of “Babylon” and the question is how will we respond? How will we find hope when it seems all is lost?
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to engage our culture with godly wisdom and courage
2. Encouraged to our hope as just as real and relevant as it has ever been

Sep 17, 2023
“Jesus loves the little children.”
We sing about this and we believe this. But what children are we speaking of? Do we only mean our kids? What about the kids that are elsewhere? This Sunday we are talking about some of the exciting and important opportunities we have with our Kingdom Builders partner, Child Hope, to help kids in poverty in Latin America find hope in Jesus and learn life skills to pull them out of generational cycles.
As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to adopt the same view of kids that Jesus has
2. Encouraged to sacrifice to make a lasting difference for these kids as we launch 3 new programs for them
