In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin have a conversation about the Reformation. Maybe you've heard of the Reformation, or Martin Luther, but might not have any knowledge about the historical events.

In this conversation, the guys trace some church history that led to the events of the Reformation and the consequences that followed.

As always, we hope that this conversation is enlightening to you and that it inspires you to go and start another conversation with someone else.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode Aaron and Kevin discuss how it was that they learned how to be generous financial givers. They have varied stories in their experiences and so this conversation should be relatable to a number of different situations.

We hope that you will hear something the guys discuss which will inspire you to start another Spiritual Conversation with someone else.

In this week's episode, Pastor Kevin is chatting with his father - Harold Bender - about "Money Matters". That's the title of the 3-week sermon series we're currently walking in as we consider the relationship between God, faith, and money.

In this conversation Harold (who is also a pastor) will share some of his life experience related to the dynamic of giving and contentment. These "episodes" helped frame Kevin's understanding - as he has also (though, imperfectly!) sought to apply them in his life. Harold will also share some practical ways to get started near the end of the episode.

Listen and consider your own "money matters." How might God be calling you to step out in faith in order to experience His blessing? What challenges have you faced in this area of your life?

We hope, as always, that you'll hear something in this conversation that will inspire you to start another conversation about Jesus with someone else.

In this week's episode, Aaron sits down with Marcus Huff for a conversation on how to reach the next ones.

Prior to working as the Director of Youth and Campus Ministry at Saints Peter and Paul in Houghton, MI, Marcus served as the executive director for the British Columbia Mission Boat Society. He would help lead mission trips into native villages along the pacific coast of Canada. Through these experiences, and now working with youth and college students, he's learned how key it is to build good relationships with people if you desire to share the good news of Jesus with them.

Aaron and Marcus discuss some things to do, and NOT to do when it comes to reaching the next ones.

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin are having a conversation about serving others. The Biblical story is one that demonstrates we have a God who serves us. Jesus said he came not to be served but to serve. The Bible is also clear that we ought to serve our neighbors as Christ first served us.

But, what does it look like for us to actually carry this out. Do we always want to serve others? What if we don't want to, should we still do it?

We'll discuss these kinds of questions in the conversation today.

As always we hope that you will take something you hear us talk about and start another conversation with someone else.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode Aaron and Kevin are having a conversation about discipleship. We talk about discipleship on this podcast, but in this week's episode, the conversation takes a turn to talk about the benefits of discipleship during difficulty. This world will be troublesome, even for the Christian. But, we were not created to live life alone or fight through the difficulties individually.

God has given each of us for the other so that we are never alone. This is the blessing of discipleship and walking together with others through this life.

We pray that you will hear something in this conversation that will inspire you to start another conversation with someone else.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin have a conversation surrounding the question "Who's Next?" Do we live life with blinders on simply focused on the task at hand and the things that we have to accomplish, or, do we pay attention to the people around us and how we have opportunities to invest in others?

We believe that, like Jesus, we should be people who are more focused on others than on ourselves. For that reason, we are asking the question "Who's Next" as we consider all of the opportunities to invest in intentionally raising up those around us. Or, also, perhaps we are the ones who are being called to take a step up, or step in to deepen our own faith and participation in the body of Christ.

As always, we hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin are talking about the wind. Why the wind? Well, because in many ways the wind is like the Holy Spirit. And as we round out our sermon series on the book of Acts, we are reflecting back on the activity of the Holy Spirit throughout Acts, but also in our own lives.

Using the metaphor of the wind, we will unpack many different ways to see, experience, and share the Holy Spirit and the message of Jesus Christ with those around us.

We hope you enjoy it!
