The Overflow Podcast

In Luke 21, Jesus talked candidly with His followers about the state of current events, the economy, coming natural disasters, the broken systems in religion that have to fall, and even the Day He will once again part the clouds to take us to be with Him forever. But what is amazing is this: while these current events tend to fill the landscape of our conversations and our energy, Jesus gave us three radical ways to live as ambassadors of hope, keeping HIM as the focal point of our horizon. In this message, Pastor Chuck shares the call to Love Jesus with Everything, Reflect Jesus in Everything, and Serve Jesus with Everything!

It’s Mother’s Day…and in this message, Pastor Chuck calls the Church of the Living God to CELEBRATE and ELEVATE the daughters of the King to their rightful place at the table alongside their brothers by looking at 3 of the most significant people in the life of Jesus: Mary of Bethany, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the Mother of Jesus. The beautiful invitation their lives release before their sisters and brothers invite us to live in the tension between brokenness and beauty with steadfast hope! 

For all of us, there are presently places we can SEE beautiful truths about God, love, life, and ourselves…and for ALL of us, there are places we cannot yet see. In this message, Pastor Chuck dives into Mark 8 in Jesus’ only recorded progressive miracle to point us to three places He’s inviting us to SEE in these days where we live between Jesus’ first and final touch!

 

There is a grace to grieving and a depth that can be accessed on this side of heaven through our lament. In this message, Pastor Chuck invites several friends to powerfully minister hope in the midst of the bitter things in life: with God, ourselves, and others — and invites us to meet Jesus in Gethsemane (the oil press) where His anointing is ready to pour out!

Cultural Christianity could be defined as anywhere we redefine the target of life with Jesus OR anywhere we realign our beliefs and practices to mirror our SOCIETY more than our SAVIOR. In Matthew 15, Jesus confronts cultural Christianity from both the religious leaders and even His own disciples — and He invites us out of the extremes that would seek to weaken our faith or weaponize it…all the way back to a trail of bread crumbs of His broken Body that offer more than enough for us all to come home!

Jesus’ resurrection came to usher in YOURS. He didn’t just die to get you into heaven one day, but so the Kingdom of Heaven would flow through you today. In this message, Pastor Chuck goes to Matthew 8 to share 4 very different encounters with Jesus and what it looks like to receive and release His resurrection!

Most people feel like their prayers never make it past the ceiling. They throw them up and they come right back down. In this message, Pastor Len shares how to pray effective, powerful prayers that lead you to “Life in the Overflow!”  It’s time for confidence and joy to define all we ask and all we do! 

EVERY athlete who has ever tasted greatness made a decision that there was a destiny awaiting them that was worthy of the perseverance, sacrifices, and hard work before them. They allowed a vision of what “could” be to BURN in them greater than any excuses, setbacks, discouragements or limitations. And they did it all for a prize that was fading, where we get to run after the eternally magnificent prize of KNOWING our God and calling others to run with us! In this message, Pastor Chuck dispels popular myths about the Spiritual Fruit of Self-Control and shares 2 incredible RHYTHMS God offers us individually and in community to become spiritual champions!

When did evangelism in the American Church become so strategic? As believers, we often prefer to employ strategies rather than implore the Spirit of God to lead us. This has caused us to rely on human effort. And human effort produces a glory that fades. We need a Spirit-empowered obedience that compels us with boldness, "to GO into ALL the world and preach the Gospel to everyone!" (Mark 16:15) In this episode, Pastor Erin demystifies our modern context of evangelism and invites us to live in the mystery of Spirit-directed evangelism.
