    Leaving Comfort for God’s Call | The Well Podcast S7E06

    Jadon Moore joins Pastor Phil Hopper and Les Norman to share his story about stepping out in faith when it’s risky, costly, and scary. They talk about bold faith and standing on God’s Word, even when it’s not popular.  Together, they discuss the difference between recklessness and obedience, drawing insight from the example of the Israelites crossing the Jordan in Joshua 3. You’ll hear Jadon’s testimony—from preaching an uncompromising gospel and facing backlash, to choosing God over people pleasing while navigating early ministry challenges, family pressure, and stepping into the unknown. This conversation is packed with stories of faith in action, wisdom on discerning whether a risk is from God, and encouragement for anyone wrestling with tough decisions. You will be pointed to the power of obedience as you step out in faith and obedience.    📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture mentions: Joshua 3 Abundant Life Residency: https://abundant-life.com/who-we-are/residency/  📌Supplemental Resources:  This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/PF7rcWy5Hr4?si=sPvfS09B6hTTgeJV&t=1351Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=kyhzsrz7riJbb3xG  🎙️ What We Discuss: 00:00 – The Difference Between Faith and Risk  04:57 – Jadon Moore's Bold Journey 11:46 – Standing Firm on Scripture 19:0 – Faith Through Uncertainty 21:04 – Answering God's Call to Ministry 24:27 – Act with Faith, Not Certainty 30:50 – Journey Over Destiny 34:05 – Growth Through Residency and Ministry 40:37 – The Living Word and The Spirit's Power 44:52 – Reaching Rural Communities With The Gospel 47:38 – Gratitude, Faith, and Obedience   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?

    Are You Choosing Comfort Over God’s Promises? | The Well Podcast S7E04

    You end up where you’re going, not where you intended or promised to go. Living by faith and overcoming fear requires intentional decisions. Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman unpack how everyday choices shape your spiritual destination, moving you closer to or farther from God’s promises. Learn why faith is the currency of the kingdom of God, how doubt causes you to question God’s promises, and why the enemy doesn’t need to be creative if he can keep you stuck in fear. Discover the difference between living by fear and living by faith, and how people filled with faith see what God can do instead of how big the problems are.   📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture: Numbers 13Book of Hebrews Bible Study: https://abundant-life.com/resources/series-studies/book-of-hebrews-study-guide/  📌Supplemental Resources:  This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/F1KcsMTZYk0Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=kyhzsrz7riJbb3xG  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/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & 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?

    Who Am I in Christ? How God Defines Who You Are | The Well Podcast S7E03

    In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman dive into one of life’s greatest questions: Who am I?  Your understanding of God shapes your identity, decisions, and beliefs. Drawing from personal stories and practical insights, Pastor Chad and Les explore how misunderstanding our Creator leads to identity crises, insecurity, and spiritual bondage. Their conversation emphasizes the need to return to God’s Word and allow Him to define our identity and worth, rather than culture or our feelings. You’ll leave challenged to find your worth and purpose not in your job, performance, or others’ opinions, but in God’s relentless pursuit of you.  📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture: Exodus 19, Joshua 1📌Supplemental Resources:  This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/_yooLOv9e6U?si=b_-1lUvqvI4BHYW-Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=kyhzsrz7riJbb3xGGet Connected↴ 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/   More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/  Website: https://abundant-life.com/   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels/   Abundant Life exists to see lives changed by Jesus by being living proof of a loving God to a watching world.

    Trusting God in the Red Sea Moments | The Well Podcast S7E02

    Trusting God when your back is against the wall and hope seems out of reach is often the last thing we want to do. Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark discuss how “Red Sea moments” deepen your dependence on God to make a way where there seems to be none.  The pastors remind listeners that the Exodus story is not just about ancient miracles, but about how God continues to move today. They discuss how both fear and comfort can keep us from embracing God’s best, and how abundant life is found in dependence on Him. If you feel in a “Red Sea moment” of your own, this episode will encourage you to step forward in faith, even when the outcomes are unclear.   📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture: Exodus 14Regeneration Recovery Ministry: https://abundant-life.com/recovery  📌Supplemental Resources:  This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/O2GwbjpLyHg?si=4THipIVmDaWXeEg-Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=kyhzsrz7riJbb3xGConnect 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?

    From Egypt to Abundant Life | The Well Podcast S7E01

    What does the Book of Exodus have to do with our lives today? In the first episode of season 7, Pastor Phil Hopper and Pastor Chad Glover dive into the relevance of the Book of Exodus for our lives today. Together, they explore why the account of the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt is more than just ancient history. Their journey from bondage to abundance reflects our own spiritual journey. Pastor Phil unpacks the profound way the Book of Exodus foreshadows Christ and explains the difference between escaping “Egypt” and actually walking in the “Promised Land” of abundant life. Many believers get stuck halfway between these places, living in spiritual mediocrity instead of victory. Pastor Chad challenges listeners to consider what it means to move forward into God’s promises in every aspect of life. The episode explores how God’s faithfulness in the past paves the way for hope in the present. Whether you’re in Egypt, the Promised Land, or somewhere in between, this episode is a rallying cry not to settle for less than God’s best. Grab your Bible, settle in, and get ready to step into a year of unapologetically pursuing the abundant life God has for you.  📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture references: Exodus 1, 1 Corinthians 10, John 10:10Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance sermon series:  📌Supplemental Resources This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/9eo3YnFcLxk?si=gQfXZXOA00od_CFd  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: https://livingproof.co/resources/books  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?

    Embracing the Consecrated Life | The Well Podcast S6E05

    What does it mean to consecrate your life to Christ? Pastor Phil Hopper is joined by pastors Chad Glover and Toshaun Avery to explore the difference between a commitment to Christ and a fully surrendered pursuit of Him. Together, they challenge listeners to live a consecrated life, marked by sacrificial obedience and intentional outreach. The episode urges believers to move past surface-level promises and truly give their all to Christ. Pastor Phil connects Old Testament sacrifices to the New Covenant call of dying to self and becoming a “fragrance of Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:14-17). He also unpacks Daniel’s prophecy about the Messiah’s arrival, highlighting the hope we have in God’s promises. You’ll be equipped with practical steps for engaging your community—whether it’s inviting someone to church or modeling evangelism for your children—and be challenged to let fear give way to courageous faith in the new year. 📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture references: John 20:19-21, 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, Daniel 9Christmas Eve at Abundant Life:   📌Supplemental Resources This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/9eo3YnFcLxk?si=gQfXZXOA00od_CFdThe Gifts We Bring sermon series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2gnGpbR-9cMejSyipRMOyrD&si=Ymde3_2yEJt0YgX2  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: https://livingproof.co/resources/books  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?

    Living a Life of Authentic Worship and Trust in Jesus | The Well Podcast S6E04

    What does authentic worship look like when life gets messy, busy, or even painful? In this episode, Kaleb and Michaelah Weaver join Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman for a conversation about sacrifice and surrender in worship.   The Weavers share that worship is more than just singing on a Sunday—it’s a lifestyle of daily surrender to God’s will. Worship means bringing all of yourself to Him, even when it’s costly or difficult. They encourage everyone to take their next step in worship, whether that’s simply showing up to church when you don’t feel like it or opening your mouth to sing even if you’re unsure.   If you’ve ever wondered how to worship when life is hard—or how to make worship a daily part of your walk with Christ—this episode will inspire and encourage you!   📌 Episode Mentions: • Scripture references: John 20:19-21, 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 • “Not By Sight” Worship Album: https://abundant-life.com/not-by-sight/   📌Supplemental Resources • This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/m4UvOWpdzlk?si=CMzvQlyQZ423uoM8 • The Gifts We Bring Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2gnGpbR-9cMejSyipRMOyrD&si=3ArRwuItaljDniIb   • Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   · 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?
