John and Arvin discuss the nuanced dynamics around connections, networking, and the not-so-subtle art of elbowing one's way onto a platform or into a position.

Pastor Paul continued his series teaching from the Book of James on how followers live with an everyday faith. The Lord desires to work mightily in and through your life, but He requires your surrender to His greater plans. Once God’s presence and power become real to you, The Only Way Forward is by stepping out in faith where He calls you.

Buckle up for this one! John and Arvin dive into all their behind the scenes thoughts about churches who get in trouble for creative mishaps and the importance of checking yourself before blasting a ministry on social media. 

The sermon, Activate Your Faith, dove into the essence of faith, emphasizing the transition from a works-based mindset to understanding salvation through grace. Pastor Paul cautioned us against complacency post-salvation, urging believers to manifest their faith through actions, not just words, drawing insights from biblical narratives and personal anecdotes to illustrate the importance of a genuine, transformed life. Paul concluded with a heartfelt call to activate faith through sincere repentance, surrender to God, and a commitment to living out one's faith in daily thoughts, words, and actions.

In episode 7 of the Behind the Scenes of our Best Days Podcast, John and Arvin discuss the importance of social awareness when working behind the scenes in ministry contexts. Together, they dive into events in church history that helped create the modern church environment and what each individual can do to take ownership of their faith instead of relying on the church to grow them spiritually. 

Looking at “The Man in the Mirror” is a metaphor for believers to evaluate their individual heart and habits. The life transformation you encounter testifies of God’s divine grace. With the Holy Spirit inside of us, we are called to spread His love in action and in words to those around us. 

Don’t allow the enemy to distract you from cleaning out the old and making room for what God wants to do. You have a purpose on the other side of obeying God’s Word that will glorify the Kingdom of God!
