New Life Ministries Podcast PodPoint

Relationships are by far one of the most important aspects of life - and how we speak to one another plays a major role in their success. How do we ensure our words are loving and kind? How can we prevent damaging one another with what we say? In part one of "Relationships", Pastor Joe teaches us the importance of our words when it comes to hurting or healing the relationships we have with others, and how Jesus plays a role in where our words come from.

If God and Jesus created and treated women as equals with men, then why are there certain verses in the Bible that say women must be silent in the church and not have authority over men? Are these verses meant to limit all women from speaking or teaching in the church - or being called to ministry as pastors? In the finale of "Yes, Women Can", Pastor Jordan teaches us how the early church began, the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering people for ministry, and a conclusion on whether or not men and women can lead equally in the church.

Jesus' life on earth directly reflected the character of God as He walked in love toward both men and women. Although sin cursed and changed things between the two genders, Jesus came to set things right again on the cross. Why did Jesus treat women differently than most? How did the role of women impact Jesus' ministry? In part three of "Yes, Women Can", Pastor Joe looks at how women were used by God in the New Testament, as well as why Jesus treated them with counter-cultural respect.

God uses women to bless their families in every generation - but are there biblical limits to where and who they can lead? Are they meant to have leadership roles over men? What about in the church? In part two of "Yes, Women Can", Pastor Joe looks into the Old Testament to see what God has to say about women not just leading their families, but stepping into roles that changed the course of history.

There are some verses in the Bible that seem to limit a woman's ability to speak or lead in the church. These passages have caused confusion about equality and the leadership rights of men and women, and raise many questions for followers of Jesus. In situations like these, how do we find the FULL truth that God intended for us to know in His Word? In part one of "Yes, Women Can", Pastor Joe teaches us how men and women were initially designed at the time of creation, what has shifted since then, and who should lead in the modern church today.

In this unpredictable life many of us will face situations where hopelessness can overtake our heart and mind. Depression, anxiety, grief, broken relationships, addiction, health problems, abuse, unexpected changes... there are so many struggles that can leave us feeling in the dark with no chance for change. But what if there was a way to find lasting hope through ANY season? At this special event 'Night of Hope', Pastor Jordan teaches us where true hope can be found, and how we can walk in it no matter what we're going through.
