    The Truth About Christian Nationalism and the Role of Christians in Politics | The Well Podcast S9E11

    In this timely episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman dive into the controversial topic of Christian nationalism. They clarify what it is, what it is not, and how Christians can engage in faith and politics with a biblical worldview.  Pastor Phil unpacks how religious convictions have always shaped American culture and laws, from the Mayflower Compact to the Constitution. He illustrates America’s Judeo-Christian roots while acknowledging the expanding religious diversity of today. The conversation distinguishes Christian nationalism from Christian activism and patriotism, warning listeners not to confuse active engagement in political issues with the narrow, power-focused ideology of nationalism. Pastor Phil emphasizes that real change starts with the gospel—not legislation or party allegiance. He invites listeners to prioritize the Great Commission and trust in Jesus’ ultimate sovereignty over human affairs.  📌 Supplemental Resources: Hope for Us Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2iexloqCRya8Cvqxlm3J2dL&si=eRBB_5-sHI9iB0SQ   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/   Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

    Rest in Jesus, Not Your Résumé | The Well Podcast S9E10

    Are you caught in the performance trap—measuring your worth by what you do or achieve? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman unpack freedom in Christ, exploring why so many of us feel pressured to earn acceptance, both from others and from God. The conversation invites you to break free from the cycle of striving and embrace the gift of grace. Using the biblical story of Isaac and Ishmael, they contrast life by the law and life by grace. Listeners are encouraged to truly rest in Jesus rather than falling into religious rule-keeping. If you want to move from striving to abiding, join us for practical encouragement to enjoy the freedom Jesus offers, embrace rhythms of rest, and let go of the pressure to perform.   📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/TwoA1Y-xR-0?si=LXI-FeK3NHG0QQUj Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

    Galatians, Circumcision, and the Formation of the Biblical Canon | The Well Podcast S9E09

    How did the early church decide which books belong in the Bible? Why was circumcision such a dividing issue for the Galatians? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper tackles these two big questions and others about the early church.  Pastor Phil Hopper unpacks the cultural and doctrinal tensions of the early church, showing how Old Testament signs pointed to New Testament realities—especially the “circumcision of the heart.” He also walks through how the biblical canon was formed, what standards were used to recognize Scripture, and why some writings were excluded or labeled apocryphal.  Whether you’re new to the Bible or have followed Jesus for years, this conversation will clarify confusing debates, deepen your confidence in Scripture, and strengthen your walk with God.   📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/y4Md1wD2cRo?si=9_wg7G0WGCfriwI3 Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

    Navigating Faith Deconstruction and Doubt with Biblical Wisdom | The Well Podcast S9E04

    When your faith feels like it’s cracking, what do you do with your questions? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark talk honestly about faith deconstruction, Christian doubt, spiritual questions, and church hurt. They explore why so many young adults are walking away from church, how events like 9/11 and COVID-19 have intensified faith crises, and why simply suppressing doubt doesn’t work.  They invite you to bring your hardest questions to God and His word. Drawing from Galatians, they explain how we sometimes need to “lose faith” in legalism and deconstruct what is false so we can rebuild a real, experiential faith in Christ. You’ll hear practical tools for processing doubt in community and developing a more honest walk with Jesus.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Mark 9:23-25 From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=h3whLV18V0bT3ZDM The Reason for God by Tim Keller: https://timothykeller.com/books/the-reason-for-god How Does Jesus Respond to Someone Who Is Deconstructing Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/GVsRp-7zM6Q?si=xLMmZtkzxBi36qKg 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/cukkkBNarC0?si=7TLlJbY7Q_rRpwAy Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
