EP#40: The Greatest Ability… Availability
Tuesday Aug 30, 2022
Tuesday Aug 30, 2022
Todd introduces this episode by posing the question, “How much do we miss out on by not being available? He goes on to assert that God uses available people not based on our talents or abilities but rather how He desires to use us for Kingdom work. God is looking for people who are willing to reorient their lives to accomplish something that they perhaps don’t even understand, but are willing to be present and available to be on mission with God. Being on mission may require that we relearn what’s important to God and subsequently be willing to live a sacrificial life with dependence on Jesus for instruction, comfort and rest. The pastors conclude this final teaching on Matthew 28:16-20 acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers - this dependency is a process of trusting Jesus to be with us and to teach us how to live!

EP#39: Worshipers and Doubters
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Thomas Scherer, Cornerstone’s Student Ministry Director, joins Todd and Christian today to discuss the implications of Matthew 28:17 and the Apostles' conflict between worshiping Jesus and doubting His work and call on their lives. We too find ourselves experiencing moments, or even seasons, of doubt because none of us share the vantage point of our all-knowing God. We too wrestle with God when life is hard and unexpected events undermine our confidence in what God is doing. The solution to this doubt is to worship Jesus, keep our focus on Jesus, trust in Jesus, and accept that our doubts are a sign of our weakness, which can be overcome by Jesus! You will be blessed by this insightful conversation between Thomas, Todd, and Christian and find that your confidence will build when you realize that God is always with us and being used by Him for Kingdom work is His idea!!

EP#38: The Promise of Together Forever
Tuesday Aug 16, 2022
Tuesday Aug 16, 2022
Todd, Christian, and Spencer begin this podcast with a conversation about what they believed the Apostles actually understood about what Christ was saying when He told them He would be “with you always, to the end of the age”. They discuss that although the Apostles had a lot of illusions from their time with Christ about what was coming, it would not be possible for them to fully understand what the future would hold. Additionally, Jesus was asking them to take on an insurmountable task, to go to all nations, for all time, and to live like Jesus always, and they couldn’t do it without Jesus! And neither can we! Jesus’s statement is meant to empower us to be faithful always, acknowledging that God is with us, has prepared a way ahead of time for us, and we are simply joining Him in the work that He has already begun.

EP#37: Baptism in the Name of Jesus & Teaching for Keeping
Tuesday Aug 09, 2022
Tuesday Aug 09, 2022
Our pastors cover 2 teachings in this one podcast - discussing both baptism and the command to teach new disciples, all that Jesus taught. They speak of baptism as being initiated into Jesus, and a transition into our new identity. If you’ve ever struggled about being baptized before you have straightened out your life, you will love the guys' candid discussion that will free you to commit to Jesus before you’ve actually “nailed it”. They describe it as “making a promise (now) to work it out with God with a longing to make this promise real (in the future)”. Then they move on to discussing what it means to embrace the teachings of Jesus, which will lead to our allegiance to Christ strengthening over our lifetime with Him.
