God’s Warning, God’s Invitation | Pastor Alex Pappas 51:48

Play Pause

1d ago51:48

51:48

The first message of the year matters. It sets the tone for everything ahead. Pastor Alex highlighted the importance of this message as we enter into the new year. In Revelation 3:14–22, Jesus speaks to the church of Laodicea with both warning and deep compassion. This wasn’t a church in obvious sin, it was a church that had become lukewarm. Self-s…

OLYMPICS PREVIEW: Why Winning a Gold Medal Wasn’t What I Expected, with Nick Goepper 50:04

6d ago50:04

50:04

The comeback is central to the mythology of sports, and when one plays out on the already mythic stage of the Olympics, athletes in relatively obscure sports can become legends. That’s the context in which halfpipe skier Nick Goepper finds himself as the U.S. Ski Team prepares to name its Olympians next week. An unlikely ski phenom from Indiana, wh…

Breakthrough Starts with Praise | Pastor Alex Pappas 43:17

9d ago43:17

43:17

Pastor Alex showed us how we finish this year matters.One of the greatest weapons God has given us is praise. Not passive praise, but praise that rises from the depths of our hearts. The Bible calls it a garment because praise doesn’t just lift us emotionally, it covers us, protects us, and repels the spirit of heaviness.Heaviness can come suddenly…

HOLIDAY SPECIAL: The Magical Connection Between Skiing and Food, With Cody Townsend 27:32

13d ago27:32

27:32

Adventuring outside is great for the beauty, the sense of awe, the fitness, but really…we’re all in it for the snacks. And no one chases down the munchies quite like skiers. Maybe you’ve seen a snowy wiggler pull a bratwurst out of a jacket pocket while on a chairlift. Maybe you yourself have devoured a towering plate of loaded tatter tots at apres…

Unblocking The River | Pastor Alex Pappas 59:07

59:07

Pastor Alex reminded us the abundant life Jesus promised isn’t about comfort, money, or an easy road, it’s an abundant, spiritual life. Scripture calls it zoe: life that comes from the Spirit, and perissos: an extraordinary, overflowing life that lacks nothing spiritually. Jesus is the river of life, and the Holy Spirit is the One who brings that l…

Even those of us who seek freedom and adventure in the wilderness are hardwired to keep themselves safe. It’s why we, as a species, outlasted the dodo and reached the top of the food chain. But there is a subset of outdoor athletes who seem to have found the genetic safety switch in their mitochondria and turned it off—folks like ski alpinist Chris…

Something funky this way comes. All over the world, deep inside dark forests, hunters tip toe in secret for a wildly expensive delicacy: truffles.

The Word and The Spirit | Pastor Alex Pappas 33:51

In this sermon, Pastor Alex shared how we are called to walk in both the Word and the Spirit, just as God modeled from the very beginning. Jesus Himself, the Word made flesh, didn’t begin His ministry until the Spirit came upon Him. The early church lived the same way, moving in power because the Word and the Spirit worked hand-in-hand.

Stop Living Powerless | Pastor Alex Pappas 46:08

46:08

You have more than power — you have authority. This week, Pastor Alex reminded us that God’s power isn’t limited to physical healing. Jesus came to heal minds, restore souls, and give us authority — the legal right to stand against the enemy. The early church didn’t just walk in power; they walked in authority.

Why You Might Consider Jumping Out of a Plane, with Alexey Galda 40:48

They say it’s not the fall that gets ya, it’s the landing. Fear of falling, or smacking one’s face onto the cold hard earth, is an innate human emotion. Even for athletes who’ve spent a lifetime climbing mountains, traversing sheer cliffs, balancing on knife-edge ridgelines, this fear never disappears. And that’s why folks who paraglide, speedfly, …
