Conversate

During Pastor Aaron's 3 month sabbatical, the Conversate podcast is taking a little rest as well. Listen to the guys explain the rationale behind this decision. Thank you all for being loyal listeners and starting faith-filled conversations with those in your lives as well!

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin talk about the final verb in Mark 1:17, "Become." Jesus said, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men." This conversation revolves what it looks like to become the kind of people that God wants us to be and how that becoming takes place. As always, our goal is that you'll hear something in this podcast and start another spiritual

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin talk about the reality that God is our Maker. Too often, too many people operate as though they are their own source of authority. We like to think that we are autonomous individuals. But, there is a simple reality - we have been made, by a maker, who has also made a way for us!In an age where many people are wrestling to find their identity

In this episode, Aaron and Kevin talk about the words of Jesus to the first disciples, "Follow me." How do you think about this concept of following Jesus? Have you ever really considered what Jesus is calling you to do? Aaron and Kevin talk about what it practically means to follow Jesus.

Aaron and Kevin discuss Mark chapter 12 where Jesus is in the temple in Jerusalem in the last week of his life. He's being challenged by many opponents regarding his teaching. But, he doesn't back down. In this conversation we'll talk about the courage and strength of Jesus and what it looks like for us to live with courage having our identity rooted in Jesus. It's our goal that yo

Mark's Gospel is unique (as they all are!). Particularly, the pace of Mark's Gospel is "harried." Immediately this. Suddenly that. It's action-packed and brimming with excitement.All throughout - the narrative continues to drive forward by returning to "the way" of Jesus. The roads that He traveled. The path He is headed down. The way of His salvation.In this week's conversation, P

In this week's conversation, Aaron and Kevin discuss the importance of understanding Biblical places, dates, and names that we encounter when reading the Scriptures. We often skip over these important historical pieces and jump right to "what does this Bible passage mean for my life" instead of first reading the Bible in the context to which it was written. With that in mind, this

There are many ways to respond to Jesus. But, there's one way that's not possible: apathy. When it comes down to it, you either have to receive Jesus for who he is, or you have to deny him. There's no middle ground with Jesus. We see this reality in the Gospel of Mark as different people respond to Jesus in different ways. In this week's conversation, Aaron and Kevin discuss this r

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin sit down to discuss Mark chapter 1. For the next number of episodes, we'll be walking through the Gospel according to Mark.
