The conversation explores how Jesus transforms small offerings into miracles, why He tests our faith, and what it means to truly see Him as the Bread of Life. You’ll also hear some fun lunchbox nostalgia - and a powerful reminder that even the "leftovers" in our lives have purpose in God’s hands.

Faith Feeders 42:04

42:04

In this powerful Sunday message from John 6, we explore the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and the deeper lessons Jesus teaches us through it. When faced with overwhelming problems, we often turn to our own solutions—avoiding them, throwing money at them, or relying on others. But Jesus shows us a better way: bring the problem to Him. Through four key responses—from the disciples, Philip, Andrew, and Jesus—we learn how to: 1. Trust Jesus with the little we have, 2. Trust Him with the surplus, 3. Trust Him through life’s storms, 4. And feed our faith daily on Him, the Bread of Life. No matter the challenge, Jesus doesn’t waste anything in our lives and invites us to rely on Him every single day—especially the last day.…

You’ll hear how this story of healing challenges us to shift our gaze from empty pools of false hope to the Living Water that’s right in front of us.

Who is the man? 37:08

37:08

In this powerful message from John 5, Pastor Jay Austin challenges us to reflect on how we perceive Jesus by asking: “Have you ever been wrong about someone’s identity?” Focusing on the story of the man healed at the Pool of Bethesda, Pastor Jay unpacks the compassion, authority, and divine identity of Jesus. Through the lens of this miraculous healing, we are reminded that Jesus sees and knows our struggles—our pain, addictions, disappointments, and sin—not with condemnation, but with deep compassion. As Jesus calls the man to rise and walk, Pastor Jay emphasizes that true healing comes not from tradition or performance, but from trusting in Jesus’ mercy and power. The message concludes by answering the question, “Who is this man?”—revealing Jesus as the Healer, the Lord over the law, the Giver of life, and the Savior who offers eternal hope. We are invited to respond in faith: to rise from our paralysis, walk in obedience, and follow the way of Jesus with renewed purpose and holiness.…

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Brandon welcomes Jay Austin (Discipleship Pastor), AnneMarie Gustke (Executive Director of Agape Women’s Center), and Stacy Vollenwieder (CAV Staff Member) for an honest conversation inspired by John 4—the story of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well.

Through real-life stories from AnneMarie and Stacy’s frontline ministries, the team discusses God’s heart for the marginalized, the power of grace and truth, and how authentic encounters with Christ can lead to healing, transformation, and new life.

Thirsty For Life 39:12

In this powerful message, Pastor John Leathers walks us through John 4 and the life-changing encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. What begins as a simple request for water becomes a deep revelation of truth, grace, and identity. Jesus breaks barriers of culture, gender, and shame to offer the woman something far greater than physical water—living water that satisfies the soul and leads to eternal life. As He reveals her past and offers her a future, we see the heart of Christ as the Savior who sees us fully and loves us completely. Drawing from Jeremiah 2:13 , Pastor Jay reminds us that many of us are still drinking from broken cisterns—empty pursuits that leave us dry. But Jesus offers something better: Himself. This message will stir your heart to worship in spirit and truth, and to share the hope of Jesus with boldness, just like the woman who ran to her town declaring, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.” Discover what it means to be known, loved, and transformed by the Savior of the world.…

Confident Humility 22:41

22:41

In this episode of our It’s Personal series through the Gospel of John, we’re joined by Pastor Mark, our lead pastor, Jay Austin and Harmony Charters, for a powerful conversation on John 3:22-30 titled “Confident Humility.” Together, we unpack the struggle of comparison—especially in the age of social media—and how it quietly robs us of joy and clarity in our purpose. We explore what it means to live like John the Baptist, who boldly declared, “I am not the Christ,” and modeled a life pointing others to Jesus, not himself. From the imagery of a wedding to the challenge of letting Christ increase while we decrease, we dive into what it means to live with true humility without losing confidence. You’ll hear personal reflections, real-life examples, and honest dialogue about pride, identity, and what it really looks like to find freedom by embracing our God-given roles. Whether you're wrestling with comparison or seeking deeper purpose, this episode offers encouragement to step out of the spotlight and into joyful surrender.

26:29

In this episode, Pastor Mark and Discipleship Pastor Jay Austin join the conversation to unpack the powerful story of Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana, as found in John 2. With humor and insight—including tales of wedding mishaps and ministry moments—they explore what it means when the “wine runs out” in our own lives. What do we turn to when we’re empty? Why does God sometimes wait to act? And how can simple obedience lead to extraordinary transformation? Together, the team reflects on themes of trust, divine timing, radical obedience, and Jesus’ ability to repurpose the ordinary for sacred purpose. Most importantly, they highlight how Jesus doesn’t just fix situations—He transforms them. Whether you're navigating a dry season, wrestling with delayed answers, or simply looking for fresh encouragement in your faith, this episode is an invitation to believe again in the transforming power of Jesus.

In this powerful message, we explore Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana—turning water into wine—and discover what it reveals about His glory, His power, and His purpose. When the wine runs out, it's more than a party problem—it’s a picture of the emptiness we all face without Jesus. But the good news? Jesus always saves the best for last. Through this first sign, we see that: ⭐️ Jesus is God—humble, joyful, and fully in control. ⭐️ Jesus has power—He can create, redeem, and restore what’s been lost. ⭐️ Jesus has a purpose—to suffer in our place so that we could celebrate with Him forever. As we connect this moment to the Last Supper and the ultimate wedding banquet in Revelation, we are reminded that what Jesus began in Cana points us to the cross and ends in eternal joy. Best advice from this message: ⭐️ Jesus when your wine runs out. ⭐️ Do whatever He tells you. ⭐️ Begin with the end in mind. 🙌 Don’t miss this reminder that Jesus is not only present in your lack—but He’s preparing something better than you can imagine.…

This sermon message focuses on John 1 and introduces Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh to reveal God to humanity. Jesus is described as full of grace and truth, the visible image of the invisible God.

Ultimately, Jesus promises that those who follow Him will witness even greater revelations of His glory and divine nature.…
