"Let's FACE It!" Podcast Show First Alliance Church Calgary

Ep. 62 has our "Man on Street" reporter Sterling interrupting meetings and generally disturbing the peace in our "Upstairs, Downstairs" segment. Also Jayne Luy, FAC's Artist in Residence joins the show to talk about her role, as well as the release of the new album "Here I Am" by Hope's Creed". Hear how God led Jayne to develop this amazing project which features many of our very own here at FAC and will soon be heard on the airwaves of radios everywhere. Check out the album now on any of the music streaming services as well as the lyric videos on YouTube.

In keeping with this past weekends message, Episode 61 is all about PLAY! We even recorded on FACEBOOK LIVE (albeit the first half was recorded sideways - but that's just part of the fun!). Check out FAC's FB feed.So if you're looking for substance this really isn't the episode for you. However along the way you'll learn about favourite donuts - exegesis versus eisegesis, shooting trees down and the big reveal of what Pastor James said to a parishioner in the third row during the 9:15 service. We also PLAY a song from an exciting new EP release called "I Am Here" featuring many of our very own FACers now available online through all music streaming services. And finally we PLAY a little "Bible - MadGab" to wrap things up. Enjoy.

The cast looks back at "Adversity" and forward to "Play" as we talk about wrapping up "The Other 6 Days" sermon series. Also in this episode;- A sneak peak at the upcoming "Pray First" series- A few teasers about FAC's Canada Day Celebration- A track from Caleb Delamont's new album "Bless the Name"- A big shout out to the FAC Choir & Orchestra as we recall some of the amazing worship leading and inspiring performances this year.And more!

James is back! We hear some highlights of his trip "across the pond" spending time with family and participating in some inspiring conferences. Normally so articulate both Sterling and James are temporarily struck with the inability to naturally complete even their ABC's - let alone read a short paragraph from their favourite novel "My Amish Boyfriend".We also talk about the great wealth of resources - now FREE to everyone at FAC through RightNow Media which is referred to as "The Netflix of Christian Bible Study".

"Wheels For Wells" began in the heart of 9 year old Alex Weber of FAC as he envisioned a day when EVERYONE would have access to clean, safe drinking water.David Custer, Calgary Ride Coordinator & Tour Operator for "Wheels For Wells" joins the podcast to share the amazing ways this life-changing organization continues to grow and is on target to directly impact 100,000 people with fresh clean drinking water by the end of 2017!!You will be inspired as you hear the incredible ways God is opening doors around the world as "Wheels For Wells" brings life and hope to some the most vulnerable locations around the world -- all through riding bikes!!

The cast is shocked by a Scottish Pipe Band & highland dancers who fill the bookstore to surprise Pastor James who sadly is not there to take in this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.Pastor Doug Doyle of Ft. City Church joins the podcast via Skype one year after the wildfires in Fort MacMurray. He shares from both the hardships & the hope and talks of how God is on the move in peoples hearts as they continue to heal from the most costly natural disaster in Canadian history. Pastors Al Hall & Grant Sylvester both join the show to reflect on what God is doing through our many Community Impact partnerships and to fill us in on an unfolding strategic plan that could see small groups at the tip of the spear.
