Calling Is Greater Than Comfort | Art of Showing Up | Phil EuBank Aug 24, 2025

Show notes

The most powerful way to reflect the heart of Jesus isn't through grand gestures—it's through presence. This series walks through key moments in Scripture where Jesus or His followers simply showed up—with compassion, intentionality, and courage. In a culture of disconnection and self-focus, we’ll learn what it means to take the risk of proximity, live interruptible lives, and make room at our tables. Rooted in Luke 10 and the way of Jesus, The Art of Showing Up helps us move from good intentions to embodied faith—believing that when we show up, God does too.

Letting God Take the Lead | Foreign Faith | Phil EuBank Aug 17, 2025

Show notes

Before Israel ever faced the Red Sea, God made His presence and leadership unmistakable. In the wilderness, a pillar of cloud guided them by day and a pillar of fire by night—an unmissable reminder that they weren’t navigating life alone. The cloud didn’t give them a full map, just the next step. Sometimes it stayed for a day, sometimes for months, but Israel moved only when God moved. In our own lives, we often want the entire plan upfront, yet God calls us to follow His presence one step at a time. Letting God take the lead means trading the security of our own schedule for the security of His presence, even when it disrupts our plans

It's Never Too Late to Turn Back | Foreign Faith | Phil EuBank Aug 10, 2025

Show notes

In the wilderness, Israel grumbled, rebelled, and doubted—but God still provided manna. This week reminds us that failure isn’t final. God meets us with grace in the midst of our wandering and invites us to start fresh. No matter how far we’ve gone, it’s never too late to return to the One who provides.

When We Lead Ourselves | Foreign Faith | Matt Summers Aug 03, 2025

Show notes

While Moses is meeting with God, Israel panics and builds the golden calf. We all know what it feels like to get tired of waiting—for answers, direction, or hope. When we take leadership into our own hands, we risk making something shiny that isn’t sacred. This message invites us to ask: what golden calves are we tempted to worship?

Lost and Stuck | Foreign Faith | Phil EuBank Jul 27, 2025

Show notes

Israel thought Egypt was behind them—until they hit a dead end at the Red Sea. When we’re trapped between fear and faith, it’s easy to think God has abandoned us. But even when we feel lost or stuck, God is preparing to move in ways we can’t yet see. This week helps normalize fear and uncertainty as part of the journey, not signs of failure.
