    Navigating Faith Deconstruction and Doubt with Biblical Wisdom | The Well Podcast S9E04

    When your faith feels like it’s cracking, what do you do with your questions? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark talk honestly about faith deconstruction, Christian doubt, spiritual questions, and church hurt. They explore why so many young adults are walking away from church, how events like 9/11 and COVID-19 have intensified faith crises, and why simply suppressing doubt doesn’t work.  They invite you to bring your hardest questions to God and His word. Drawing from Galatians, they explain how we sometimes need to “lose faith” in legalism and deconstruct what is false so we can rebuild a real, experiential faith in Christ. You’ll hear practical tools for processing doubt in community and developing a more honest walk with Jesus.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Mark 9:23-25 From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=h3whLV18V0bT3ZDM The Reason for God by Tim Keller: https://timothykeller.com/books/the-reason-for-god How Does Jesus Respond to Someone Who Is Deconstructing Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/GVsRp-7zM6Q?si=xLMmZtkzxBi36qKg 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/cukkkBNarC0?si=7TLlJbY7Q_rRpwAy Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5   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: 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?

    Is Your Faith Religious or Real? | The Well Podcast S9E03

    Religion complicates what God made simple. In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and Les Norman walk through Galatians to show why God hates religion but loves redemption. They unpack how legalism and modern-day Judaizers add rules, rituals, and lists to the work of Christ, pulling believers back under a yoke of bondage. You’ll hear how to spot religious hypocrisy, why so many are deconstructing religion rather than Christianity, and how to take honest spiritual inventory in your own life.  Pastor Phil also answers listener questions on just war, Matthew 26:32, and whether today’s tensions with Iran and Israel carry end-times significance.  If you’re weary of religion but hungry for biblical truth and real freedom in Christ, this conversation is for you. 📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Acts 15; Galatians 2:20, 5:1; 2 Thessalonians 2 Regen Recovery Ministry: https://abundant-life.com/recovery/   📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/QZfrdbfaKWw?si=coYyZEdhTBV1wyNv&t=1698 Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=qfBS5wmqeN-qClWV   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: 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?

    The Origins of Easter & the Hope of the Resurrection | The Well Podcast S8E06

    Jesus’ resurrection changes everything for us—and it’s not built on a pagan myth or an Internet rumor. In this episode of The Well, Pastor Phil Hopper joins Les Norman to clear up the confusion around the origins of Easter and remind us that our hope is anchored in the empty tomb.  Walking through Palm Sunday, Peter’s denial, and his transformation into a bold witness, this conversation encourages believers who feel like they’ve failed Jesus that His grace has the power to restore everyone. The same risen Jesus who changed Peter’s story is still changing ours.  If you’ve ever struggled with feeling unworthy or believing you’ve failed one too many times, this episode reminds you that Christ’s resurrection power can transform your life and lead you into abundance.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:6-7, Romans 5:1 Resources for spiritual growth: https://abundant-life.com/resources/who-is-jesus-to-you/ 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/IzbNTm1VWAs The Exchange Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2gSplpvbxGAO8iO8hsDotUx&si=ZIUTJxUUdW0G0dMe   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: 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?

    How Motives and Mindset Shape Your Generosity | The Well Podcast S8E05

    How do motives and mindset shape generosity? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman dive into the meaning of the Parable of the Talents and how it applies to believers today.  When Jesus spoke about "talent" in the parable, He was referring to a large sum of money, not just a natural ability. Everyone has a different measure of resources and opportunities, but what matters most is faithfulness with what God has given, not how much you have. Spiritual maturity is reflected in how we think about and steward our finances, time, and abilities for God’s glory. Ultimately, Pastor Phil reminds us not to compare ourselves to others, but to focus on being faithful with what we have. The mindset behind our giving—the motive and the heart—matters as much as the act itself.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Matthew 25, Proverbs 3, John 12:24 Abundant Life Residency: https://abundant-life.com/who-we-are/residency/ “What is the Bema Seat of Christ?” blog: https://abundant-life.com/blog/what-is-the-bema-seat-of-christ/ 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/5It0uE8uHwk The Exchange Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2gSplpvbxGAO8iO8hsDotUx&si=ZIUTJxUUdW0G0dMe 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: 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?

    Transforming Our Relationship with Money | The Well Podcast S8E04

    What warnings does the Bible share about the love of money? In this episode of The Well Podcast, host Les Norman and Pastor Chad Glover dive into 1 Timothy 6 to unpack the biblical perspective on wealth, stewardship, and generosity.

It's simply a tool in our hands, and it’s our heart posture that truly matters. The conversation brings clarity to the dangers of greed, the importance of contentment, and how to escape a scarcity mindset. They discuss the biblical call to hold wealth loosely, steward God’s gifts faithfully, and use your resources for kingdom purposes. You will be challenged by what it means to enjoy, deploy, and employ money for God’s glory. 📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture Mentions: 1 Timothy 6, Psalm 24 Abundant Life Counseling: https://abundant-life.com/resources/abundant-life-counseling-center/ 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/QqciVMQCnqE The Exchange Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2gSplpvbxGAO8iO8hsDotUx&si=ZIUTJxUUdW0G0dMe 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: 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?
