What the Bible Really Says About Sex Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

In this powerful session, Josh and Sharon explore six divine truths about sex straight from Scripture—and expose the demonic counterfeits that distort God’s beautiful design. With wisdom, humor, and clarity, they reveal why sex is not just physical but profoundly spiritual, and why reclaiming God’s view of sex brings joy, freedom, and intimacy back to the marriage bed. This teaching is bold, biblical, and deeply practical for every married couple.

Racial Reconciliation, Social Justice, and Other Woke Virtue Signaling ft. Pastor Riley Halliday Jul 05, 2025

Show notes

What happens when a biracial man raised between two worlds—Black and white, chaos and faith, pain and purpose—steps into the pulpit with nothing but the gospel and a heart for unity?

In this raw, honest, and deeply moving conversation, Pastor Riley Halliday shares his extraordinary story: growing up between two families, facing rejection, reconciling with a father who once offered to pay for his abortion, navigating racial tension in the Church, and ultimately discovering the healing power of Jesus Christ.

From military discipline to ministry leadership, Riley speaks candidly on:

👉 The real meaning of racial reconciliation in the Church

👉 Why forced diversity often backfires — and what builds real unity

👉 Growing up with Black and white siblings — and finding identity in Christ

👉 How to forgive a father who tried to erase your life

👉 Why there’s only one race in Scripture — the human race

👉 What pastors need to hear if they want to lead multiethnic churches

Whether you’re a church leader, a skeptic, a parent, or simply someone seeking hope in divided times — this conversation will challenge you, inspire you, and move you to reflect on what truly unites us.

Are You Helping or Hurting the Body? Jun 29, 2025

Show notes

In this sermon, Pastor Josh McPherson kicks off a new sermon series ("The Body"), and explains how the church isn’t a building but you—the living, Spirit-empowered body of Jesus on earth. Discover why every believer matters, how the Holy Spirit unites and equips us, and what it looks like to live in true interdependence. Pastor Josh illustrates these truths with metaphors of the human body (foot vs. hand), a world-class soccer player’s kick, and 37 trillion cells, and he draws practical applications: use your gifts, serve eagerly on teams, honor all members, avoid gossip and division, and bear one another’s burdens in healthy community.
