Recently Faith Chapel was able to host a global Foursquare event which meant pastors and leaders from around the country, and some from around the world were able to come to Billings to worship, pray, and find encouragement. While here, we got to visit with Gary Matsdorf – a pastor and leader in the Foursquare movement.
This week we sit down with Jennie Poetzl. She is the Women's Pastor here at Faith Chapel and has this incredibly unique ability to discuss nuance, beauty, and depth in many different areas. This conversation is specifically centered around communion, which sometimes can feel like just a religious activity. Nate covered communion in the series The Cross and the Church, so we explore some of the ideas and questions that came up from that message.
This week, Jordan sat down to chat with Marc Johnson. Marc has more scripture memorized than anyone I know and has an incredible gift of encouragement by using verses, passages, and principles to meet people right where they are. We talk about the Bible, how it can help us, and ways to engage with it.
This week we talk with Shane O'brien and we discuss some of the ways that we can get off course and lose focus. In Chapter 10 of 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul compares our relationship and life with Jesus to a race, so we discuss what that can look like in our lives on a daily basis and how we can reorient ourselves and stay on track. Here's my conversation with Shane.
This week Jordan has a conversation with Rachel to discuss how we posture our lives to serve others in response to the end of 1 Corinthians 9.
This is the second half of an interview with Nate and Dr. Preston Sprinkle. In this episode, they cover gender, masculinity, and feminity and what shapes our definitions of those things.
This week Jordan sat down with Evan Cook to discuss this question: what's culturally okay but biblically not? If you missed last weekend's message, it was about how there was an inappropriate behavior happening in the church in Corinth and even though it was culturally accepted, it wasn't aligned with how we are supposed to live as followers of Jesus. We discuss current behaviors that can be distracting and addictive, being intentional in relationships, and scripture to use as a litmus test for how we should be thinking.
Jordan sits down with Nate to discuss what it looks like to be a leader. They discuss how we can have grit in the midst of serving, how to mentally fight against entitlement and royalty or celebrity status, and we go over one of the things he wished he had time to communicate.
This past weekend Nate talked about how we can create sacred spaces as we gather, so I sat down with Will Phillips, to ask him – how do we create sacred spaces? Will and his wife Jennifer are the small groups directors at Faith Chapel and has great insight into how to orient our minds around this idea.
This week Jordan responds to Pastor Nate's message by asking the question: "How do we make room for the Holy Spirit?"
