A Sling for Now, A Sword for Later | Pastor Dustin Hawkins

Have western Christians become so comfortable that we no longer exercise faith? How can we renew a radical trust in God's provision and protection without abandoning our wisdom and responsibility?

In this special episode, Aaron and Andy are joined by the well-known missionary and podcaster (and long-time Pod of the Gaps fan!) Simon Guillebaud, who spent many years working in the warzone of Burundi with his wife and young family. Simon recounts the experiences and inspirations that shaped him, and reflects on the challenges and wisdom he has learned along the way in seeking to maintain a truly radical faith in our walk with God.

Episode 99 - Radical Discipleship (featuring Simon Guillebaud)

In Matthew 4:19, Jesus calls us to be “fishers of people.” This sermon explores what that means, why it’s essential, and how we live it today.

Fish for People | A Sermon on Matthew 4:19

We delve into the heart of discipleship in Part 4 of our series, What Is The Church? Drawing from the powerful story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, the message explores what faithful and sometimes difficult obedience to God looks like, even when we can't see the outcome. Jer calls the church to move from passive listening to active participation in their faith—encouraging practical steps like attending, serving, giving, and practicing spiritual disciplines within community. With reminders of God's faithfulness, grace, and unwavering promises, listeners are challenged to embrace their identity as beloved children of God and to live out the Great Commission, making disciples in everyday life. This sermon is a compelling invitation to respond to God’s love not just with belief, but with action and deeper commitment.

Discipleship - Justin Bradford

Pastor Tritten continues our study of Greg Finke's book Joining Jesus On His Mission. In this presentation we discuss the theology behind this statement: “The kingdom of God (that is, the redemptive presence and activity of God in human lives) has come into the world to work out the mission of God (the redeeming and restoring of human lives to the kingdom of God) through the people of God (the redemptive presence and activity of God made tangible to other human beings).” (Finke, p. 72) 

Joining Jesus on His Mission - 3

We exist to display and declare the good news of Jesus for the glory of God and the joy of all people.

I'm a pastor, dad, husband, and child of God.  I'm broken, but  blessed. The cracks are where the Light shines through.

My mission is to help people grow closer to God with every breath and step I take. I gave my life to Christ at an early age and have grown closer through the years, spurred on by the study of the Bible, my church family, and the Chrysalis and Walk to Emmaus Communities. I accepted the call to full -time ministry as a pastor in 1999 and have served 4 different churches in Georgia. Music, preaching, and teaching are the heart of my ministry.

Outside of the pulpit, I enjoy many hobbies that help me blow off steam.  These include martial arts, woodworking, blacksmithing, gardening, cooking, and being creative.  I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none.  My philosophy is use what you have, do it yourself if you can, learn something in the process, and have lots of fun.  This channel is a place to share it all with you.
