Eagle Brook Church Podcast

Sometimes the generations behind us leave us scratching our heads. But when we teach, encourage, and cheer them on we may start scratching our heads a lot less. And find ourselves pleasantly surprised by what we have to offer each other.  

A better life means less of some things and more of others. Just like we need less arguing and more ice cream.

I want to save money—but I really want that new phone. I want a great marriage—but work needs me right now. No matter how hard we try, we can't have it all.

Signature dance moves, signature flavors, signature colors, signature style--all ways to be set apart. But have you ever heard of a signature sin?

The Bible says, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.” But what is sexual immorality, exactly?

Submission—how does that word make you feel? Warm and fuzzy? Chances are no. Let’s take a deep dive into why submission is part of healthy, God-centered lives.

When life is going well, it's easy to be #grateful and feel #blessed. But what about when #TheStruggleIsReal? A difficult job, a scary diagnosis, a challenging relationship⁠—so much harder to #GiveThanks.

Sports fans sport their team colors. Foodies freak over a delicious meal. When you're crazy about something, other people can tell. So, how obvious is it that you love and follow of Jesus?

What did they say?! If you've ever played a game of telephone, you know how important good communication is. But communicating with others gets even more interesting when we throw in differing opinions, feelings, and points of view. Let the fun begin!

Kids and parents will probably disagree on whether it's a good idea to eat all the Lucky Charms in one sitting. Sometimes, what we think is best and what God says is best aren’t the same, either.

Our heart is like the command center for our lives. Which means it’s really important to focus on how healthy it is—because what drives our heart will drive our life.

Have you ever wanted something so badly only to be totally underwhelmed when you got it? Our desires don’t always live up to our expectations.

There's something wildly entertaining about watching videos of people doing dumb things–but being part of one? Probably not a goal for most of us. Even a little bit of wisdom can make a big difference in our lives. That's why God gave us Proverbs–an entire book devoted to living a wise life.

Loving, humble, compassionate—all words that describe who Jesus was. But the world often sees Christians as the opposite, and sometimes for good reason. How can anyone follow Jesus when they don't like Christians? 

Eagle Brook’s mission is to reach people for Christ—it’s the heart behind everything we do. We’re amazed at how God has worked in our past, present, and into the future. People matter to God, so they matter to us.

For a lot of us, the Bible is like vegetables–we know we should read it more, but we just don’t do it. Why is the Bible more than just another self-help book? Is such an ancient book still relevant–or even trustworthy?

What if it's true? What if believing in Jesus is the only way to heaven? Then believing in Him would mean a life of freedom and peace now and for eternity.

Arguments against the existence of God are common, and people often accuse Christians of having blind and ignorant faith. But God doesn’t ask us to check our brains at the door…we can have faith and use logic and experience to prove His existence.

Easter is a celebration of the world’s biggest event—the death and resurrection of Jesus. His resurrection gives us the power to close the gap between the life we have and the one we could have.

Every person matters to God, but we often have different opinions and beliefs—so how can we live in unity when we don't always agree? When we reach across the line that divides us, we can make it easier for people to know Jesus loves them, too.

We all strive to live productive, purposeful lives. God prunes and shapes our stories—but we have to stay connected to Him to continue to grow.

So many voices are clamoring for your attention these days. Who do you listen to—and can you distinguish God's voice above the noise?

Sometimes we can't see what God wants us to see. What might God be trying to show you?

You know that time you did that one bad thing? It was so bad you can't even say it out loud? If people find out, what will they think? Jesus didn't give up His life so you could hang onto one past sin or mistake. Despite the mess we make of our lives, God loves us.

Who do you follow? And not just on Instagram or Twitter—but who has your trust in real life? It's easy to get caught in the trap of being a Jesus consumer instead of a Jesus follower. We expect signs and wonders, but aren't willing to take on the cost that faith often requires.
