Shift the Gravity Traders Point Christian Church

God did amazing things in and through Traders Point in 2022! The end of a year is the perfect time to pause and reflect on the year we’ve just finished, as well as look ahead at what’s coming in 2023. Pastors Aaron Brockett and Ryan Bramlett sit down to talk about their favorite big moments and even share some behind-the-scenes highlights from the year.

When a story catches our attention and engages us, we are more likely to absorb the message and the meaning within. That’s why stories about how Christ has worked in our lives have such power – they're a link to the heart of God. In this episode, Pastors Aaron Brockett and Ryan Bramlett sit down to share their personal stories of what life was like before they had a relationship with Jesus and what life has been like since that transformation. Their stories are prime examples of why we lean in when someone shares how God has worked in their lives. Testimonies make a compelling impact!

Most leaders would say they didn’t originally see themselves as a leader. It often takes an “I-see-in-you" conversation with potential leaders in order to call up their development. In this podcast episode, Pastors Aaron Brockett and Ryan Bramlett sit down with leadership directors Jordan Jones and Ashley Balke to discuss what leadership means in a biblical sense and how to equip others to develop their leadership potential. Leadership is all about shifting our focus outside ourselves and giving it to others – so is the leadership you’re multiplying beautiful, healthy, and selfless? This episode has wisdom for leaders of all types.

If our churches ceased to exist, would anyone in our communities notice or care? Pastors Aaron Brockett and Ryan Bramlett chat with outreach pastors Shannon Garcia and Emily Day about making a measurable difference in our local and global communities – an impact that would be noticed if we were gone. Their conversation covers core outreach principles – multiplying leaders, multiplying churches, and then meeting tangible needs – and addresses the most common reasons for not serving. As followers of Jesus, serving should be at the core of who we are.
