×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. Together, they explore what it means to be spiritually “thirsty” and how Jesus offers “living water” to those who feel unseen, stuck, or burdened by their past. 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. Whether you're feeling weary or just curious about how faith meets real-world struggles, this episode is a moving reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love.

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.

In this message, we explore John 3: 1–36 and learn from the example of John the Baptist. In a world driven by ego and competition, John models a better way: humility rooted in knowing our identity and purpose in God's kingdom. Through this passage, we examine three kinds of people during a movement of God—nitpickers, competitors, and pointers—and discover how true joy and effectiveness come when we stop comparing and start pointing others to Jesus. Find out how confident humility sets us free from pride, fuels gratitude, and brings joy as we live not for our glory, but for Christ’s.…

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.…

When you look closely into the life of Jesus, you see that in his encounters with people, he was deeply personal. On his way to the cross (John 19), Jesus encountered three groups of people who either rejected him, were indifferent towards him, or remained close to him in their intense sorrow. In this episode, the team discusses how encounters with Jesus summons everyone to respond to the Son of God. Encounters with Jesus have the potential to radically transform your life.

This message, based on John 19:28, explores the final moments of Jesus’ life and the deeply personal nature of the crucifixion. Far from being just a historical event, the cross invites a response from every heart. Through the lens of four key encounters—Pilate’s rejection, the soldiers’ indifference, the sorrow of the women and John, and the boldness of Joseph and Nicodemus—we see how different people responded to Jesus in His suffering. The message challenges us to examine our own response to Christ today, reminding us that neutrality or indifference is a response in itself. Rooted in the Gospel—the fulfillment of God’s promises in Jesus—it calls us to personally engage with the Savior who thirsted for our redemption.…
