Richie Christie
CF House Church Podcast is the podcast designed to help the students and Young Adults at Christ Fellowship follow the way of Jesus more intentionally in Fall 2020. Coupled with physical House Church gatherings, the online content on this Podcast is created to simply help you Practice The Way of Jesus more deeply.
Logan wrapped up the night by giving us his last words for the school year and he taught in Mathew 11:28-30. He spoke about what it means for Jesus to be gentle, lowly, and accessible. Jesus's heart is full of love and compassion and it is available to us at all times. He is constantly inviting us into this love.

This week, Logan led a discussion with two leaders, Kaleb and Liv Fielden, and two students, Ella Pitts and Pace Johnson, discussing their experiences with identity. They opened up with incredible insight and powerful testimony on how this journey has been for them, sharing how their views of God, themselves, and others have changed. We wrapped up the time by hearing directly from Pace and Ella about the kingdom and empire and how both have directly impacted their lives and their community.

This week we explore the concept of how our world is almost entirely empire and separation. Many good, Jesus-loving believers are in a separated world view and they don't even know. We have an invitation to learn the truth of God, what he says about us, and how that gives us holy boundaries to go and love others through Jesus.

Logan highlights three stories from Mark 5, revealing Jesus as personal, powerful, and purposeful. These narratives underscore how Jesus is powerful over problems, desires a personal relationship with us, and He is purposeful in the midst of our pain.
We had the honor to hear from Jamie Winship this past week! Jamie shared this incredible story that teaches us how to view ourselves and others through the identity given by Jesus.

Week 2 of our Catching Feelings series poses the idea that Sex isn't just physical, it's valuable.

No matter what your history or view is on sex, tune in & see what Jesus might say to you on the topic!

"God, can we actually hear you?" Have you ever asked that question? So often, even as believers, we struggle to believe that we can actually hear God, when in fact, it's promised to us throughout scripture. As a follower of Jesus, you can become intimately familiar with the voice of God & hear all He has to say to you despite the noise of this world. Join us this week as Cori Johnson shares about navigating the noise as we learn to really hear God in all the ways He is already speaking to us!
How to Cultivate Connection with God at home // Parents! This one is just for you! We wanted to equip you as your student or young adult dives into cultivating connection with God.

They give incredible wisdom and insight in how they pursue connection both as individuals, but also how to cultivate this in family at home. Through sharing stories of wins and losses we're confident this will equip you to make this a rhythm in your family together!
