Episode 78- Running on Empty

Somewhere along the way, exhaustion became a badge of honor. We stay busy, overwhelmed, constantly connected… yet spiritually drained. In Episode 78, “Running on Empty,” we talk about burnout, emotional exhaustion, and what Jesus really meant when He said, “Come to me and I will give you rest.” Because sometimes faith doesn’t look like pushing harder… Sometimes it looks like finally resting in God.

Episode 60 - How to Surprise Jesus

Don’t you love it when things turn out better than expected? Those moments when we say, “What a pleasant surprise, “or “Wow, that worked out perfectly.” But what if Jesus said something like that about our faith? In Matthew 8, Jesus encounters a Roman centurion in Capernaum who asks for his servant to be healed. When Jesus offers to come to his home, the centurion responds with remarkable humility and confidence: “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.” Scripture tells us that Jesus was amazedby this faith—the greatest He had seen up to that point. What does it mean to have a faith that amazes Jesus? In this episode, we explore what “amazing faith” looks like in today’s world and how we can grow and strengthen our faith so that we, too, might live with trust, humility, and confidence in Christ.

But when is enough, enough? When do we loose the true meaning of Christmas? Join Pastor Sean and Josh as they wrestle with this subject on The Pekin First Pod Cast

Episode 43 - The Drive

In Golf many will say that the drive off of the tee is one of the most important shots of the game. It sets up the entire hole. Some golf enthusiasts will also say that where you stand in relationship to the ball when teeing off is what sets up the drive. To far in front of the ball and the ball goes too far one-way. To far behind the ball it goes to far the other. The key is to be centered on the ball as is in life! As we work our way thru life Centering ourself on God sets us up for each phase of life. Not centering ourselves on God takes us off the best path.
