From the beginning of church history, we’ve seen that churches vary in size from community to community. Some are comprised of thousands of people, while others may consist of 10. Among the variations, there have been a variety of questions that come along with church size. How big is too big? How small is too small? In this conversation, Pastor Nate helps us see that church health isn’t indicated by mere growth in numbers, but rather by the spiritual growth within individuals and communities.
Do you remember the last time you questioned a big life decision? Did someone tell you, "You do you." or "Just do what feels right."? Maybe in the moment you felt like that was some encouraging advice, but if you've followed that line of thinking to the end then you know how it ends. It seems that whenever we give ourselves the freedom to draw our own boundaries, we gravitate towards decisions that will hurt in the future. So then what are good boundaries? What kind of boundaries does God advocate for? In this conversation, Pastor Nate helps us understand the way of God and even more than that, how we can find contentment within God's way.

As you already know, we live in a time when we are more connected than ever before. People all around the world are connecting through the internet and with that, people are developing new relationships online - more specifically, dating relationships. As apps become more intuitive, as phones become more integrated into our lives, and as we txt more than we talk, a Christian has to ask the questions: Is online dating ok for a Christian? If so, what is the best way to build a relationship online? How could I pursue online dating in a way that glorifies God? In this conversation, Pastor Nate helps us think this through by asking some questions and by laying down some relational building blocks that every Christian should consider.

Thanks for joining us on the Nateholdridge.com podcast. Hey, as you may already know, Pastor Nate who is the primary voice on this podcast, is an author of a few books - one of them being “Dear New Dad” which is a book for new dads. Why are we telling you about this today? Because we think you might be interested in a podcast series about this book. A while back, Pastor Nate linked up with Pastor Matt Gersonde (who is the pastor of Refuge Church in Salinas, CA) and together they had some conversations about the content of this book.
So today we wanted to share with you a full episode from that podcast. If you like it, you can find the full series in your podcast store. Just search Dear New Dad.

We live in a time when technology connects us to more knowledge, people, and resources than ever before. So why do all of us still wrestle with questions like, “Who am I?” or “Who are my real friends?” and “What should I be doing with my life?” Perhaps it’s because we often look in the wrong places for the answers. In this conversation, Pastor Nate looks at Matthew 6 to see how Jesus answers these questions.

If you’ve read your Bible for any length of time the chances are that you’ve come across the book called Song of Solomon. And there’s even more of a chance that as you read through this book you said to yourself, “Why is there a short story about romance in the middle of the Bible?” Now, there are many answers to that question, but today Pastor Nate will help us understand one truth that arcs over the entire book - the concept that monogamous marriage, when done God’s way, allows space for deep romance, trust, and sustainability.

It is easy to think God shoves His people into the deep end without any training or preparation. He does, after all, use the weak things of the world to put to shame the mighty, the foolish to confound the wise. But even in the moments when God takes us way outside our comfort zone, we know that He also prepares us for that moment. Joshua is one such figure God prepared in advance. It is easy to think he was unprepared for the task, but God had privately prepared him to lead the people of Israel. In this conversation, Pastor Nate talks to us about the development of Joshua as a leader. * Just a heads up that the audio quality for the first few minutes is pretty terrible. We caught the issue quickly though and fixed it for the rest of the episode. Enjoy!

Throughout the history of the church, we have seen how marriage has a direct correlation to the culture of a church. When there is health within the pastor's marriage, there is often times life in the ministry. When there is sin in the marriage, there is often times a sense of apathy in the ministry. In either case, the pastor's marriage has a dynamic effect on the ministry within the church. In this conversation, Pastor Nate helps us re-prioritize ministry and marriage in a way that is God-honoring, wife-loving, and kingdom-focused.
