    Ep 33 - Why "You Are Not a Sinner" Misses the Gospel

    In this episode, we tackle the popular but dangerous phrase: "You are not a sinner." While it may sound encouraging, it actually distorts the truth of the gospel. Walking through Psalm 32 and 1 John 1 & 3, we explore why Scripture calls us to both acknowledge our sin and rejoice in Christ's forgiveness. Together, we'll unpack what it really means to live as forgiven people—honest about our brokenness, yet confident in the righteousness we have in Jesus. If you've ever wrestled with the tension of being a sinner and a saint, this conversation is for you. Community Questions (keep this conversation going!) 1) When you hear the phrase "You are not a sinner," what's your first reaction—and why? 2) How do you personally hold the tension of being both forgiven in Christ and still wrestling with sin? 3) Read Psalm 32 or 1 John 1:8–9. What stands out to you about confession and forgiveness in these passages? Find us online: www.thepennnersworhip.com www.instagram.com/the.penners

    Ep 32 - When Cancer Strikes Twice: An Interview with Corrina Dyck

    On today's episode we sit down with Corrina Dyck. Mother, wife, deliverance minister and friend. Corrina tells us the heartwrenching story of how her young husband was diagnosed with cancer while she was 7½ months pregnant just 2 years into their marriage, and the journey they went on together leading to his death. With a twist in the story many years later, join today's conversation for a beautiful story of God's grace and love, to hear her heart and how she got through some of the most difficult days, and to be encouraged by Corrina's heart for Jesus through it all.  We pray this conversation blesses you as much as it has us, as Corrina's heart for the Lord pours through your headphones. Be blessed friends! Community Questions: 1) Have you ever loved someone who has gone through cancer? 2) Did it grow your faith or hurt it?  3) Do you know someone dealing with cancer right now? How can you pour out God's love on them today?

    Ep 30 - Can Christians Have Demons? (and other questions about Deliverance) With Darrell Dyck from Deliver Us ministries

    Join The Penners with their first guest ever, Darrell Dyck from Deliver Us Ministries, as they talk all about Deliverance, Demons and Freedom. Answering questions like "Can Christians Be Demonized or Have Demons?", "What are some signs of Demonization?", "Where In the Bible do you see these things happening?" and "How did you go from pastoring a Mennonite Church in Southern Manitoba to starting a Deliverance Ministry?" Today's episode is packed full of Biblical answers, personal testimony and so much prayer.  It's truly an episode you won't want to miss. We experienced a lot of warfare putting this episode together and truly believe that this is for someone (YOU) to hear... the enemy sure wants to stop it from getting out. From technology glitches, to being physically ill, to our dog growling at "nothing" (something demonic) at the door while editing, to being physically tugged on by an evil spirit, to headphones causing other voices to blare through, to problems with uploading... this has come to you with a lot of prayer and patience. Join us for today's conversation. We pray listening will bless you, encourage you, challenge you, and MOST OF ALL, bring you closer to Jesus.  Email Darrell at Deliverusministries@outlook.com Email The Penners at thepennersworship@gmail.com Support Darrell and his wife Corrina at https://www.equipcanada.org/our-missionaries/biography/darrell-%26-corrina-dyck  Find Dr. Rob Reimer books here : https://www.amazon.ca/stores/author/B00J4O7XJE

    Ep 29 - Your Past Does Not Disqualify You From Being Used By God (Should it?)

    Welcome back to another episode of "Coffee with the Penners." On today's episode, we are talking all about whether or not the sins of your past should disqualify you from the path Jesus has for you. What does that look like in ministry? What about if you disqualify yourself? What does the Bible say about it all? Join us for another great discussion on another hard topic.  Community Questions:  1) What are your immediate thoughts on this topic? Does your past disqualify you from ministry? ...From living a life filled with Jesus? 2) What if the person is in leadership? If they have publicly sinned, should they be allowed back into ministry?  3) Can you think of biblical examples of what to do (or what NOT to do) in this situation?

    How the heck do I love and pray for my enemies?

    Join us for an honest conversation on what it looks like to actually pray for your enemies. Why does Jesus tell us to do this? How do I even start? What if I don't want to?! All of these questions and more come up as we dive into the commands Jesus gave us in the gospels to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, etc.  Both Derek and Julia speak from experience in this episode about why this is possibly the hardest thing Jesus ever told us to do, but also how it can be one of the most beautiful. Join us as we dive in today.  Community Questions: 1) Who comes to your mind when you hear "love your enemies"? 2) What is your initial reaction to that person's name? 3) Do you think you can start / keep praying for them / grow in your prayer for them?  Find us online: www.instagram.com/the.penners www.thepennersworship.com

    Ep 27 - Tackling Tough Topics & Difficult Discussions

    Join us this week as we dive into WHY the Church (in very general terms!) doesn't do well at having hard conversations, and what we could be doing better to hold space for people who are grieving or walking through tough seasons.  Community questions: 1) Is there a topic you'd like to see more churches talking about?  2) Have you been to a church where they did 'hard conversations' well? What was something they did that made you feel that way?    Join us online: www.instagram.com/the.penners
