    Trusting God in the Red Sea Moments | The Well Podcast S7E02

    Trusting God when your back is against the wall and hope seems out of reach is often the last thing we want to do. Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark discuss how “Red Sea moments” deepen your dependence on God to make a way where there seems to be none.  The pastors remind listeners that the Exodus story is not just about ancient miracles, but about how God continues to move today. They discuss how both fear and comfort can keep us from embracing God’s best, and how abundant life is found in dependence on Him. If you feel in a “Red Sea moment” of your own, this episode will encourage you to step forward in faith, even when the outcomes are unclear.   📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture: Exodus 14Regeneration Recovery Ministry: https://abundant-life.com/recovery  📌Supplemental Resources:  This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/O2GwbjpLyHg?si=4THipIVmDaWXeEg-Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=kyhzsrz7riJbb3xGConnect 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?

    From Egypt to Abundant Life | The Well Podcast S7E01

    What does the Book of Exodus have to do with our lives today? In the first episode of season 7, Pastor Phil Hopper and Pastor Chad Glover dive into the relevance of the Book of Exodus for our lives today. Together, they explore why the account of the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt is more than just ancient history. Their journey from bondage to abundance reflects our own spiritual journey. Pastor Phil unpacks the profound way the Book of Exodus foreshadows Christ and explains the difference between escaping “Egypt” and actually walking in the “Promised Land” of abundant life. Many believers get stuck halfway between these places, living in spiritual mediocrity instead of victory. Pastor Chad challenges listeners to consider what it means to move forward into God’s promises in every aspect of life. The episode explores how God’s faithfulness in the past paves the way for hope in the present. Whether you’re in Egypt, the Promised Land, or somewhere in between, this episode is a rallying cry not to settle for less than God’s best. Grab your Bible, settle in, and get ready to step into a year of unapologetically pursuing the abundant life God has for you.  📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture references: Exodus 1, 1 Corinthians 10, John 10:10Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance sermon series:  📌Supplemental Resources This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/9eo3YnFcLxk?si=gQfXZXOA00od_CFd  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: https://livingproof.co/resources/books  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?

    What does it mean to consecrate your life to Christ? Pastor Phil Hopper is joined by pastors Chad Glover and Toshaun Avery to explore the difference between a commitment to Christ and a fully surrendered pursuit of Him. Together, they challenge listeners to live a consecrated life, marked by sacrificial obedience and intentional outreach.

You’ll be equipped with practical steps for engaging your community—whether it’s inviting someone to church or modeling evangelism for your children—and be challenged to let fear give way to courageous faith in the new year. 📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture references: John 20:19-21, 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, Daniel 9Christmas Eve at Abundant Life:   📌Supplemental Resources This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/9eo3YnFcLxk?si=gQfXZXOA00od_CFdThe Gifts We Bring sermon series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2gnGpbR-9cMejSyipRMOyrD&si=Ymde3_2yEJt0YgX2  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: https://livingproof.co/resources/books  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?

    Worship As a Lifestyle with Shawn Struckmeier | The Well Podcast S6E02

    What does it mean to pursue worship as a lifestyle, rather than just songs we sing?   In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Shawn Struckmeier joins host Les Norman and Pastor Phil Hopper for an honest conversation about the heart of worship and what worship looks like as a lifestyle.    Worship is a lifestyle, not an event. It starts with our bodies, our abilities, our finances, and our words—every part of life surrendered to God. Pastor Shawn encourages listeners to set aside personal preferences in worship and focus their hearts on honoring Jesus together. Rather than getting caught up in opinions about worship styles, true worship is setting aside self and pursuing God’s presence, not just performance. The episode emphasizes that worship isn’t limited to singing; it’s a lifestyle marked by sacrifice through how you use your time, talents, or resources. The goal of worship is to experience God’s presence and give Him the praise He deserves. Pastor Phil encourages listeners to take their next step as worshipers, practicing surrender and joyful sacrifice in every area of life. 📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture references: Romans 1-3, Luke 15, Psalm 51Abundant Life Church Houses: https://abundant-life.com/locations/church-house/https://abundant-life.com/locations/church-house/  📌Supplemental Resources This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/9eo3YnFcLxk?si=gQfXZXOA00od_CFd  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?
