    Faithfulness Without the Spotlight

    In this episode of Monday Moments, we take a deeper dive into Sunday’s message on obedience in the ordinary - the unseen, uncelebrated moments where spiritual growth actually happens. Most of our lives aren’t lived on a stage or in the spotlight. They’re lived in everyday routines, quiet faithfulness, and consistent discipline. In this conversation, Travis and Pastor James reflect on how Scripture consistently shows that God does His deepest work not in the extraordinary moments, but in the ordinary ones. Together, they explore: Why most of Jesus’ life was lived in obscurity - and why that mattersHow spiritual discipline prepares us for pivotal momentsThe difference between desire and discipline in following JesusWhy obedience isn’t behavior modification, but the fruit of repentance and faithHow faithfulness in daily life produces lasting spiritual fruitFrom the lives of Jesus, Moses, David, Job, and others, this episode challenges our culture’s obsession with influence, visibility, and quick results—and invites us to rediscover the power of quiet obedience. If you’ve ever wondered whether the “mundane” parts of your life really matter to God, this conversation is for you. 📖 Discipleship requires repentance and faith—and produces obedience and fruit. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode if it encouraged you.

    Why Worship Comes First

    Why does worship matter so much - and why does it come before everything else in the life of a disciple? In this episode of Monday Moments, Travis sits down with Pastor Dennis to continue the Everyday Disciple series with a deeper conversation on the importance of worship. Together, they explore why worship is not just music or singing, but the essential starting place for following Jesus. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why humanity was created with the choice to worshipHow worship “plows the soil” of our hearts for God’s WordThe difference between worship as information vs. worship as relationshipWhy music plays such a powerful role in biblical worshipHow corporate worship unites the church and reflects heavenPractical encouragement for anyone who feels like a spectator instead of a worshiperWhether you’re new to faith, feeling spiritually distant, or simply wanting to deepen your walk with Jesus, this conversation invites you back to the heart of worship - where discipleship truly begins. 📖 “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.”  🎶 Worship isn’t about performance - it’s about surrender. Thanks for joining us for another episode of Monday Moments. We pray this conversation draws you closer to the Lord and renews your passion for worship, both personally and as the body of Christ.

    Why Discipleship is Not What You Think

    What does it actually mean to be a disciple of Jesus? “Disciple” is one of the most common words in Christianity and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of Monday Moments, Travis sits down with Pastor James to continue the Everyday Disciple series and unpack what discipleship truly is, and what it is not. Is discipleship a higher level of Christianity?  Is it a program, a process, or something only for “super Christians”?  Or is it simply what it means to follow Jesus? In this conversation, we explore: Why discipleship is not a status, program, or checklistThe difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing HimHow relationship - not behavior modification - produces real transformationThe danger of making disciples of ourselves instead of disciples of ChristWhy abiding in Jesus is the source of freedom, love, and spiritual fruitWhat it actually costs to follow Jesus - and why it’s worth everythingJesus doesn’t call us to perform for Him - He calls us to be with Him. Discipleship is not about earning a title, but yielding your life to the One who already gave everything for you. Our prayer is that this episode draws you deeper - not into religious effort, but into a living, growing relationship with Jesus. 📖 “Come to Me… and learn from Me.” (Matthew 11:28–29) Thanks for joining us for Monday Moments. We’ll see you next week.

    How Compassion Transforms Discipleship

    Where does discipleship really begin? Not with fear. Not with performance. Not with religion. It begins with mercy. In this powerful episode of Monday Moments, Travis and Pastor Dennis dive deep into the heart of true discipleship by exploring the nature of God as rich in mercy, compassion, and lovingkindness. Drawing from John 3:16, Ephesians 2, Exodus, and the Gospel of John, this conversation contrasts transactional religion with relational faith, revealing how transformation happens when we truly know who God is. This episode unpacks: The difference between transactional faith vs. relational discipleshipWhy God’s mercy is the foundation of spiritual growthHow fear-based religion distorts our view of GodWhat it means to be discipled by Jesus instead of algorithmsWhy compassion changes hearts more than performance ever couldHow understanding God’s mercy transforms families and generationsPastor Dennis shares deeply personal stories, biblical insight, and timeless truth that redefine what it means to follow Jesus - not as a fearful servant, but as a beloved child. Discipleship doesn’t start with obedience. It starts with knowing who God is. If you're longing for a deeper walk with Jesus, a clearer picture of God’s heart, and a faith rooted in love instead of fear - this episode is for you. 📖 Key Scriptures Referenced:  John 3:16  Ephesians 2  Exodus 34  John 1  John 15  Hosea  Psalms 🎙️ Series: Everyday Disciple  📍 Episode: Monday Moments – Episode 161 👉 Like, Subscribe, and Share to help others discover the freedom found in God’s mercy.

    The Cost of Following Jesus

    Taking up our cross and following Jesus sounds simple, but when everyday life presses in, it becomes far more challenging. In this episode of Monday Moments, Travis sits down with Pastor James to unpack what Jesus truly means when He calls us to follow Him daily. As part of our Everyday Discipleship series, this conversation explores the heart of discipleship: repentance and faith, not as behavior modification, but as genuine transformation. Together, we discuss: What repentance is and what it is notThe difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrowWhy repentance must lead to real changeHow faith goes beyond belief and results in actionThe idols we often hold onto without realizing itWhy following Jesus costs us less than we think, and gives us far more than we imaginePastor James reminds us that discipleship is not about trying harder, but about trusting deeper. When we surrender control, release false identities, and put our faith fully in Christ, the fruit of obedience begins to grow - not by our strength, but by His grace. 📖 Key Scriptures Referenced: Luke 9:23Romans 12:1–2Psalm 139:23–24James 2John 15Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this episode invites you to ask an honest question: Do I really want to change - and am I willing to trust Jesus with everything?   👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone walking the road of discipleship with you.

    Hope in the Waiting

    In Episode 157, we explore one of the most overlooked, but deeply meaningful parts of Scripture: the genealogy of Jesus. Why does Luke trace Jesus’ lineage all the way back to Adam? What does it teach us about God’s faithfulness, human weakness, and the long seasons of waiting? Join us as we discuss: Why Jesus’ genealogy matters more than we realize How Luke’s backward genealogy reframes the story of Jesus The 400 years of silence—and what they mean for our own seasons of waiting How God works through the mundane, the unknown, and the in-between moments The significance of Jesus’ baptism in breaking the cycle of human failure Practical ways to lean into longing, hope, and the Advent seasonWhether you’re new to Advent or have celebrated it for years, this conversation offers encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that God is always at work—even when He feels silent. At the end of the episode, Pastor closes with a heartfelt prayer for anyone walking through darkness, dryness, or uncertainty during this season. ✨ God kept His promise then. He will keep it again.  ✨ Emmanuel—God with us—remains our hope.
