Our world thrives on division—political, social, religious. Lines are drawn, sides are chosen, and outrage becomes the loudest voice. But when we look at Jesus, we see a different approach. He didn’t fight division with more division. Instead, He crossed the lines with love.

We explore 1 John 2:1-6 and what it truly means to follow Jesus in a culture addicted to outrage. How do we live like Christ in a world that demands we take sides? How do we step across the barriers that separate us without compromising truth?

Join us as we unpack the power of God’s perfect love—a love that transforms hearts, heals divisions, and calls us to walk as Jesus walked. The question is: What lines do you need to cross?

Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.

Catching the Foxes 37:32

37:32

Send us a text In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast , we journey into the often-overlooked book of Song of Songs , where a tender invitation becomes a wake-up call for our spiritual lives. Drawing from Song of Songs 2:14–15, Pastor Jason explores the metaphor of “little foxes” that sneak in and threaten to ruin the vineyards of our faith, relationships, and calling. This message was more than just a sermon—it was a physical, prayerful experience involving symbolic eggs, a real animal trap, and a powerful moment of surrender. While podcast listeners couldn’t be in the room, you’re invited to engage right where you are: reflect, respond, and consider what foxes might be quietly stealing the growth God is nurturing in your life. The episode closes with a heartfelt challenge, prayer, and a connection to the song “I Won’t Let You Go” by Jon Foreman and Lauren Daigle—a reminder that God lovingly calls us out of hiding and won't let go, no matter what we’re facing. Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.

With wisdom, grace, and humor, she invites us to see Proverbs 31 not as a checklist of expectations, but as a celebration of faithfulness, strength, and character—qualities that reflect the image of God in us all. Whether you’ve felt pressured by unrealistic standards or simply long to live with greater purpose, this sermon is for you. Discover how God meets us in the everyday, calls out our worth, and equips us to live lives that matter. Take a deep breath, lean in, and be encouraged.

The Believing and the Unbelievable 37:16

37:16

Send us a text In the final message of our Hearing Voices series, we arrive at the empty tomb—and discover that the first voices to proclaim the resurrection weren’t apostles or angels, but women. In a culture that didn’t recognize their testimony, God entrusted them with the greatest news in history: He is not here. He has risen. This Easter message challenges us to reconsider who we listen to—and who we may be ignoring. Could it be that God is still speaking through the overlooked, the dismissed, and the unexpected? And if so… are we willing to hear and believe? Join us as we explore Luke 24:1–12 and uncover why the resurrection is not just good news—it’s a call to listen, believe, and live differently.

The Pharisees 39:35

39:35

Send us a text In this sixth installment of our Lent series Hearing Voices , we turn our attention to a group we often love to judge—the Pharisees. Found in Luke 19:39–40, their demand to silence the crowd during Jesus’ triumphal entry reveals more than just religious rigidity—it reveals a heart resistant to uncomfortable truth. In this episode, Pastor Jason gets honest about his own bias against the Pharisees and his struggle to sympathize with the "older brother" in the prodigal son story. But as we dig deeper, we discover that the Pharisees’ reaction may hit closer to home than we’d like to admit. What if their fear, pride, and resistance mirror our own when God’s truth threatens our comfort? What if we, too, try to silence the very voices meant to draw us closer to Jesus? This message invites us to examine our hearts, surrender our defenses, and embrace the bold, sometimes disruptive, truth of Christ—no matter how it comes. Because when the people are silent, the stones will shout. Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.

The Broken and Believing 37:59

37:59

Send us a text In a world that often tunes out the quiet and broken, Jesus hears what others ignore. We continue our Lent series, “Hearing Voices,” by listening to the silent but powerful faith of a woman in Luke 8. She doesn’t have a name, a voice in the crowd, or a place in society—but she does have faith. As Jesus is on His way to heal a prominent leader’s daughter, He stops everything to acknowledge a woman who simply touched His cloak. Her silent cry of faith is enough for Jesus to listen, respond, and heal. This message is for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, unclean, or worn out from suffering in silence. It’s a reminder that Jesus still sees, still hears, and still heals. If you or someone you know needs prayer, encouragement, or just a reminder that your voice matters—this episode is for you.

Send us a text Have you ever felt like an outsider—like you don’t belong, like you're on the outside looking in? In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast , we continue our Hearing Voices series by listening to the voice of a persistent woman in Mark 7:24-30 . She wasn’t part of the "in crowd." She wasn’t supposed to have access to Jesus. And yet, her relentless faith moved Him to respond. This message is for those who have ever been told they’re not good enough, that they don’t belong in church, or that God’s grace isn’t for them. It’s also a challenge to those of us on the inside—are we helping others get to Jesus, or are we standing in the way? Join us as we explore the power of persistence, the wideness of God’s mercy, and what it means to truly welcome those who feel like outsiders.

Let the Children Come 42:35

Send us a text Too often, churches send the unspoken message that children are distractions rather than disciples in the making. But in Mark 10, Jesus makes it clear—children belong in His presence. In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to welcome children in our churches and in our hearts. From personal experiences with resistance to creating spaces of belonging, we’ll explore how embracing the voices of children reflects the very heart of God. What if, instead of seeing children as interruptions, we saw them as invitations to encounter Christ? What if we truly lived out Jesus’ words: Let the little children come to Me—do not hinder them ? Join us as we challenge ourselves to make room, to listen, and to love the way Jesus does.

Send us a text Have you ever found yourself waiting on God—praying, believing, but wondering if He’s ever going to come through? In this episode, we look at the story of Simeon , a man who waited his entire life to see God’s promise fulfilled. His faithfulness, patience, and trust in the Holy Spirit led him straight to Jesus at just the right time. We’ll also talk about the keepers of the promise —those seasoned saints who have walked with Jesus for years, guiding and encouraging others in their faith. What can we learn from them? And how can we wait well, even when it feels like God is taking His time? If you’re in a season of waiting, this message is for you. God’s timing is perfect, and His promises are always worth the wait. 🔹 What promise of God are you holding onto? 🔹 Are you listening to the Holy Spirit’s leading? 🔹 Who in your life helps you see God at work?

Send us a text What does success in God’s eyes really look like? If we measure it by results, then Isaiah’s mission was a failure. But in Isaiah 6, we see that God wasn’t calling Isaiah to be successful—He was calling him to be faithful. In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast , we begin our Lent series, Hearing Voices , by listening to the voice of the prophets. Isaiah was sent to speak God’s truth, knowing people wouldn’t listen. Yet, he still answered, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.” What about you? Are you willing to be faithful in sharing Jesus, even if you never see the results? Join us as we explore the challenge of obedience, the courage to step out in faith, and the trust that God is always working—whether we see it or not.

Send us a text We often believe that knowledge and wisdom will keep us on the right path—but the story of Solomon proves otherwise. He was the wisest man to ever live, yet his heart was slowly turned away from God through small compromises. Wisdom alone isn’t enough if our hearts are divided. Solomon knew God’s commands but chose personal desires over obedience. His downfall serves as both a warning and an invitation: Are there areas in our lives where we are compromising instead of fully obeying? Join us as we unpack the importance of a heart fully devoted to God and how true faith requires not just knowing His Word, but living by it.

Just like a man trapped in Hurricane Katrina clung to hope for rescue, we, too, must hold fast to the hope that Christ is coming again. This episode unpacks Jesus’s warning about deception, suffering, and the darkening of the world before His return. But more importantly, it reminds us that evil and injustice will not have the final word—Jesus will. Are you ready for His return? Are you anchored in the hope only He can provide?

Send us a text We continue our Bible study in the book Hebrews, The Jesus Supremacy , by diving into 2:1-15. This chapter offers a profound lesson on how doctrine informs practice, showing us that what we believe must move beyond knowledge into action. We explore the supremacy of Jesus as both fully God and fully human—the perfect mediator who bridges the gap between God and humanity. Through vivid imagery, like drifting on a river, we’re reminded of the necessity of staying anchored to the message of Christ to avoid spiritual peril. Discover how Jesus's humanity and suffering fulfilled God’s redemptive plan, dethroned the power of death, and freed us from fear. We unpack the practical application of these truths: what it means to live as God's family, to walk in faith, and to align our lives with Christ’s mission. This episode is a call to fix our eyes on Jesus, embrace our identity as His brothers and sisters, and stand firm in the victory He’s secured.

Send us a text Pastor Jason explores a profound story from the book of Acts, where the Apostle Paul heals a crippled man. Pastor Jason delves into the puzzling aspect of this narrative, particularly focusing on the concept of having "faith to be healed." He discusses how faith manifests differently in each individual and challenges the conventional expectations of what faith should look like. Drawing from a variety of examples, including a satirical story about an unorthodox Olympic shooter and personal anecdotes, Pastor Jason emphasizes that faith is not always visible or expressed in traditional ways. He stresses the importance of being present and open to God's message, as demonstrated by the crippled man's simple act of listening to Paul. Pastor Jason also reflects on the nature of healing, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, and how it may not always come in the ways we expect. He reassures listeners that seeking Jesus and being in the presence of believers can be a powerful source of healing and transformation. This episode encourages listeners to embrace their unique expressions of faith and to trust in God's plan for their healing, whatever form it may take. Join Pastor Jason as he navigates these deep theological questions and offers insights into living a life of faith.

Send us a text In this illuminating episode, we embark on a transformative journey through the first part of our "Make Disciples" series, focusing on the profound theme of "light shining in the darkness." Drawing inspiration from Leonard Sweet's anecdote about a Swiss church's tradition, we explore the beautiful symbolism of light in our faith and community. Discover how the ancient instructions in Leviticus 24:1-4 about maintaining the Tabernacle's golden lampstand serve as a timeless metaphor for our role as bearers of God's light. As we delve into the significance of the lampstand, we'll uncover how the people of Israel were called to provide pure olive oil, symbolizing their commitment to be a light to the nations. We also connect this Old Testament imagery to the New Testament, where Jesus, our High Priest, tends to us and ensures we shine brightly in a world shrouded in darkness. Through an exploration of Revelation 1:20 and Philippians 2:15, we see how we, as the Church, are meant to reflect Jesus' light to those around us. Join us as we learn that our light is not just for ourselves but a beacon of hope for others. Your presence and light matter greatly to your church family and the world. Tune in and be inspired to let your light shine ever more brightly for the glory of God. Key Scriptures: Leviticus 24:1-4 Revelation 1:20 Philippians 2:15 Topics Covered: Evangelism and Discipleship The symbolism of light in Scripture The role of the Church in spreading God's light Listen now and let your light shine!

Send us a text In this final installment of our three-part series on Philippians 2, we delve into Paul's teachings on living as faithful followers of Jesus in a world that is crooked and corrupt. As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, this message becomes particularly poignant, reminding us of the paradox of freedom – it is never free but comes at a great cost. Paul, writing from a jail cell, speaks of being "poured out like a drink offering" for the faith of the Philippians. This imagery of a sacrificial offering highlights the depth of his commitment and love for the community. Despite his circumstances, Paul remains joyful and encourages the Philippians to embrace the same glad surrender to God's will. This sermon challenges us to reflect on our own lives and how we can be poured out in service to others. Just as Jesus and the apostles poured out their lives for the Kingdom, we are called to do the same – to GO, LOVE, and DO in our daily walk of faith. As we work out our salvation with fear and trembling, we are transformed by God's grace, becoming true disciples who make disciples, using our freedom to lead others to freedom in Christ. Join us as we explore these powerful themes and learn what it truly means to live a life poured out in service to God and others. Scripture Reference: Philippians 2:17-18 (CEB) Key Takeaways: Understanding the sacrificial nature of true freedom. Embracing a life of joyful surrender and service. Becoming disciples who make disciples through love and action. The transformative power of working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Tune in and be inspired to pour out your life in service to God's Kingdom Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.
