    Atlin Family Church - Partner Appreciation Month! PT 1

    Why do so many voices online attack biblical prosperity, and what does real partnership in ministry actually look like? Pastor Dale kicks off a five-part November series with an honest answer, and a bold one: partnership is not about making the pastor rich. Atlin Family Church is marking a little over two years of ministry by dedicating every Sunday in November to its partners. Pastor Dale says this is a subject he had never taught in full until God directed him to it this week. The month is both a thank-you to the people who give, pray and serve, and an introduction to the ministry for anyone who has just found the channel. There is no pressure to give. He invites you to watch all five videos, pray, and then decide. You'll discover: Why partnership is different from membership, and why Pastor Dale says it is not a "hoops to jump through" systemThe three marks of biblical partnership: shared vision, mutual responsibility and a reciprocal relationshipWhat Paul's words in Philippians 1:3-5 reveal about believers who are active co-laborers, not pew warmersWhy partnership goes beyond money to include prayer, gifts, time and connections, and why you can be a partner from anywhere in the worldA fresh look at Deuteronomy 8:18 and 3 John 2, plus a quote from Andrew Wommack: "Money isn't prosperity. Money is the byproduct of prosperity."Pastor Dale also tackles the question of why some Christians seem blessed while others do not. He warns against judging God's word by looking at other people, and he explains why what you do after you give matters as much as the giving itself. If you have ever bristled at the phrase "prosperity message," or wondered what it means to be more than a bystander in your church, this opening video sets the foundation for the rest of the series. Part two covers what Atlin Family Church has accomplished with its partners and where the ministry is headed. Perfect for current partners, curious newcomers, and anyone ready to examine what the Bible says about finances. Grab your coffee, tea or hot chocolate and settle in for a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. Questions? Reach out at AtlinFamilyChurch.ca. New videos post Sundays at 10 AM.

    Christian Boot Camp PT 4 - Obedience

    Christian Boot Camp PT 4 - Obedience. What if the missing piece in your Christian walk is not more effort, but obedient action? Pastor Dale McDonald shows why faith only becomes powerful when you hear God clearly and then actually do what He says. In this message from the Engaged Faith series, Dale uses a bold boot camp and battlefield analogy to explain why believers need more than belief. He breaks down the foundation of Christian discipline - faith, prayer, hearing God, obedience, righteousness, and holiness - and shows how each one prepares you to live the life God intends. You'll discover: * Why prayer is conversation with God, not a speech to God * How to recognize God's voice through His Word, His Spirit, and even other people * Why writing down what you hear can keep you from missing what God said * The difference between passive belief and faith that moves * How obedience positions you for miracles, guidance, and breakthrough Dale also unpacks scriptures from 1 John 5, James 1, Matthew 7, and Philippians 2 to show that God is not asking you to perform for love - He is inviting you to respond to love. His challenge is simple but urgent: stop trying to build your life on your own strength, and start trusting the One who already knows the end from the beginning. If you have ever felt stuck, spiritually dry, or unsure how to move forward, this episode points you back to the basics that change everything. Essential listening if you want a stronger foundation, clearer direction, and a faith that actually works.

    Christian Boot Camp PT3 - Hearing God

    Prayer is not talking at God—it’s learning to hear Him. Join us Sunday October 4th at 10 AM PCT for PT 3 of Christian Boot Camp - Listening To God. If you’ve been stuck in routine religion, wondering why your faith feels stalled or direction feels unclear, Pastor Dale’s teaching on the third part of his Christian Boot Camp series will challenge you to listen differently. He breaks down why real prayer is a two-way conversation, why babbling and trying to convince God miss the point, and how hearing His voice changes everything about the next step you take. This episode pulls together the disciplines of faith, prayer, and discernment into a practical path for growing closer to God and walking with more confidence. You’ll discover: Why prayer is communication, not performance How to recognize the difference between talking to God and talking with God What it means to hear God’s voice through revelation and Scripture Why the Holy Spirit matters in everyday guidance How obedience becomes the natural next step after hearing from Him Pastor Dale also revisits Matthew 6, Ephesians 6:18, 1 Corinthians 14:15, John 10:27, and John 14:23–26 to show how God speaks, leads, and teaches His people today. He connects that teaching to a bigger warning for believers: the world is getting louder, more confusing, and increasingly anti-Christ, which makes learning to recognize God’s voice more urgent than ever. This is essential teaching if you want more than surface-level Christianity. If you’re hungry for a deeper relationship with God, want clarity for your next season, or need encouragement that He’s still speaking, this episode points the way forward. Speaker: Pastor Dale McDonald, host of Atlin Family Church Engaged Faith, shares teaching from Atlin, BC on prayer, hearing from God, and the next step in the Christian walk. Join us Sunday October 4th at 10 AM PCT for PT 3 of Christian Boot Camp - Listening To God.

    Christian Boot Camp PT 2 - Prayer

    Prayer changes everything when you stop treating it like a monologue and start treating it like a conversation with God. In this video Pastor Dale breaks down the second part of his Christian Boot Camp message series and shows why the real breakthrough comes from talking with God, listening for His response, and praying from a place of confidence, not desperation. Using the boot camp analogy throughout, Dale explains how spiritual discipline trains believers to grow in maturity, develop their gifts, and become effective in what God has called them to do. He makes prayer simple and direct: it is communication with God, not vain repetition, not babbling, and not trying to convince God to care. It is two-way relationship, guided by Scripture, faith, and the Holy Spirit. You’ll discover: Why prayer is meant to be two-way communication, not talking at GodHow Matthew 6, Ephesians 6, 1 Corinthians 14, Hebrews 4, Hebrews 10, 1 John 5, and Romans 8 reshape the way you prayWhy praying in the Spirit matters, and how to ask God for interpretationHow to pray with confidence from right standing, not guilt or fearWhy strong faith and strong prayer work together to reveal God’s plan for your lifeHow to stop overcomplicating prayer and start expecting God to answerDale also shares practical, down-to-earth illustrations, from a conversation with a friend over coffee to a child running into a parent’s arms, to show what trust and intimacy with God actually look like. If you have ever wondered whether God hears you, how to pray more effectively, or how to recognize His voice in the middle of everyday life, this message will encourage you and challenge you. Essential listening if you want a simpler, deeper, more confident prayer life and a clearer sense of how God leads His people.

    Christian Boot Camp PT 2 - Prayer Intro

    Join us Sunday September 27 at 10 AM PT for the full message on prayer. If you’ve ever felt like you had to “say it right” for God to hear you, this is for you - drop a if that’s been you. When we pray He already knows what we need, what we want, and what we are carrying. Prayer isn’t a performance. It’s communication Speak honestly & listen on purpose. Trust the response, even if it’s not instant. That shift changed everything for me. The goal isn’t talking at God - it’s learning to talk with Him. #PrayerLife #FaithTalk #ChristianEncouragement #atlinfamilychurch #SpiritualGrowth
