As we approach Christmas and enter the conversation of God's love, we had to sit down with Ted Brown! In this episode, Ted will get into his story and how he became executive director at Regeneration outreach community here in Brampton !
On today's episode, I had the honor to sit down with Brampton's City Councillor Charmaine Williams. As a person of deep faith and incredible ambition, we are diving into some important topics; racial reconciliation, taking risks and how to bring joy this Christmas season. It'll be a treat, let's dive in !
Ever imagined what it's like working at a funeral home? The atmosphere, the workload, does it effect your mental health, how does faith play into this work environment? Let's find out together as I sit down with Nick Larter, funeral home director at Scott's Funeral Home in Brampton. Let's dive in !
Hope is a word we often us in the Christian walk. The word is used in various occasions, especially around Christmas time. It's important that we understand what the true meaning of hope is and how that looks like in our everyday lives. After hearing this episode with youth leader Brian Pengelly, I pray that hope isn't just a word in our Christian dictionary but a tool to guide our steps as we continue this walk with Christ. Let's dive in !
This pandemic has caused a lot of change. One of them being mental wellness. With Christmas around the corner, it's essential for us to take time to speak on the topic of mental health as many of us might be experiencing it right now. I certainly did. Today, I sit down with my wife Katrina, to share my own experience with depression, we get vulnerable and we get real. Let's dive in!
What an opportunity to open up and talk more about questions that people want to know about the series as a whole. In this episode, Jamie and Duane jump into a number of topics.
We have all asked ourselves "what is my purpose Lord" often times we seem to not get an answer the minute we ask but eventually through life experiences and challenges God makes it clear to us what that purpose is. This process took place with Rebecca, join me as I sit down with her to understand more on her calling here at NBUC and beyond !
Growing up in the church has it's joyful times and confusing times in trying to figure out your own identity. Today, I sit down with my daughter, Leah Holtom to find out how life has looked like being a "pastor's kid" ? This title can hold various stereotypes such as being forced into religion since childhood and abandoning the faith as an adult. In this episode, Leah dives into the reality of being a pastors kid and how its affected her faith and perspective. This is such an important conversation, join us as we dive deeper !
Covid 19 has forced us into physical isolation which in turn makes it harder to reach out to one another. Steve Allin, executive director at the Journey Neighborhood is sitting down with me to discuss our 3rd core value; Relentlessly Reaching out. How can we as a church continue to reach out to our brothers and sisters? How does that look like with today's circumstances? Take a listen and let's figure it out together.
Here at NBUC we have three core values; Passionately Christ Centered, Radically Inclusive, and Relentlessly Reaching Out. Today I'm sitting down with Ally Macgregor who is a faithful follower of Jesus to dissect the value of being radically inclusive. What does this radial inclusiveness look like as it’s being lived out? What are day-to-day practices we can implement in our churches and personal lives?
To find our answers we'll be diving into scripture, specifically in the book of Galatians, Colossians, James and John to understand how Jesus did it and how we as Christians can apply that to our everyday lives. Join us as we learn how to truly live a radically inclusive life.
Being Christ Centered is at the core of NBUC. Join us as we sit down with Debbie Johnson as we dissect what it looks like to be Christ Centered as individuals, church and as a community.
As we Re-imagine God building a better Brampton, we sat down with Kevin Birmingham the center manager at The journey Neighbourhood. The Journey is an outreach initiative started by NBUC to bring healing and transformation to the Ardglen/Orenda community. Join us in this conversation as we dive deeper into the purpose God has placed at the core of North Bramalea United Church
Our Vision is Imagine God building better lives, better families, a better Brampton and beyond…we do! As we look at the description of the early church in Acts this is a great time to ask ourselves what that looks like moving forward.
