Each week, the cast of "Let's FACE It!" along with special guests, gather around a table in Cornerstone Marketplace to discuss what's going on both inside & outside the church in a casual & relaxed format.
Ep. 62 has our "Man on Street" reporter Sterling interrupting meetings and generally disturbing the peace in our "Upstairs, Downstairs" segment.
Also Jayne Luy, FAC's Artist in Residence joins the show to talk about her role, as well as the release of the new album "Here I Am" by Hope's Creed". Hear how God led Jayne to develop this amazing project which features many of our very own here at FAC and will soon be heard on the airwaves of radios everywhere. Check out the album now on any of the music streaming services as well as the lyric videos on YouTube.
In keeping with this past weekends message, Episode 61 is all about PLAY! We even recorded on FACEBOOK LIVE (albeit the first half was recorded sideways - but that's just part of the fun!). Check out FAC's FB feed.
So if you're looking for substance this really isn't the episode for you. However along the way you'll learn about favourite donuts - exegesis versus eisegesis, shooting trees down and the big reveal of what Pastor James said to a parishioner in the third row during the 9:15 service.
We also PLAY a song from an exciting new EP release called "I Am Here" featuring many of our very own FACers now available online through all music streaming services.
And finally we PLAY a little "Bible - MadGab" to wrap things up. Enjoy.

And more!
James is back! We hear some highlights of his trip "across the pond" spending time with family and participating in some inspiring conferences.
Normally so articulate both Sterling and James are temporarily struck with the inability to naturally complete even their ABC's - let alone read a short paragraph from their favourite novel "My Amish Boyfriend".
We also talk about the great wealth of resources - now FREE to everyone at FAC through RightNow Media which is referred to as "The Netflix of Christian Bible Study".
"Wheels For Wells" began in the heart of 9 year old Alex Weber of FAC as he envisioned a day when EVERYONE would have access to clean, safe drinking water.
David Custer, Calgary Ride Coordinator & Tour Operator for "Wheels For Wells" joins the podcast to share the amazing ways this life-changing organization continues to grow and is on target to directly impact 100,000 people with fresh clean drinking water by the end of 2017!!
You will be inspired as you hear the incredible ways God is opening doors around the world as "Wheels For Wells" brings life and hope to some the most vulnerable locations around the world -- all through riding bikes!!

Pastors Al Hall & Grant Sylvester both join the show to reflect on what God is doing through our many Community Impact partnerships and to fill us in on an unfolding strategic plan that could see small groups at the tip of the spear.
Dave Conrad(Sr. High Pastor) stops by to fill us in on some exciting cooperative initiatives among our Calgary area churches bringing ALPHA to our city high schools -- all led by students.
We talk further with Bernie Van De Walle about his message on the weekend and how our work is truly an act of worship as it honours the way we were created. We also discuss his newly released book "Rethinking Holiness" which effectively clarifies misconceptions about holiness and reframes it in a way that ALL of us can relate to. It's a must read!
Dave explains what an "oratorio" actually is and what we can expect as we attend TONIGHTS inspiring performance of "Saviour" - a modern oratorio featuring the FAC Choir together with The New West Symphony & Chorus at 7:30pm.
Then we talk about the movie "The Case For Christ" and how media and movies shapes our culture and forms our world views--for better or worse.
(Listeners are encouraged to vote if you'd like to hear a sermon series about "God in the Movies")
And we wrap it up by looking ahead to what's in store for Easter weekend as well as the series to follow called "The Other Six Days".
A fun episode where James reveals an unusual record he now holds in the city of Calgary and Sterling is on the move for a new segment we are calling "Upstairs/Downstairs".
Our preaching apprentice Ashley Williams joins the cast to reflect on her time in the pulpit as she and her hubby await the birth of their first child in June.
Recorded backstage as the worship service continued, Chris, Jody and Dan talk about life on the road and balancing music and family.
