Eagle Brook Church Video Podcast

How has God used the people in your life to point you to him? He loves using everyday people to accomplish amazing things. Join us as we celebrate Bob Merritt and his 28 years of incredible leadership.

It’s more valuable than friendships. More valuable than a career, marriage, or anything else we pursue. Saying yes to this one thing sets the stage for everything else.

Spin a globe and drop your finger on any spot. Near or far, there are lots of ways you could get there. Is heaven the same way?

When it comes to pursuing great things in life, there are no shortcuts. A great career takes focus and tenacity. A great family requires sacrifice and unconditional love. Great relationships need time and attention. What’s the next great thing you’re going after?

God wants to meet us where we're at. And he'll use any situation we're in to do that. When a church service, conversation with a stranger, or song stops us in our tracks—is it just coincidence?

It feels pretty good to have the approval of others. But keeping their approval gets really exhausting. Is it possible to leave our people-pleasing ways?

Discontentment is one of those issues that can really fly under the radar. But when we realize all of our hustle is because we want what they have—it might be time for a reality check. 

Most of us get angry more than we realize. But nobody wants to live mad, right? Cuz when you're mad, it's easy to miss out on the good life that God wants for you.

Some call this the age of anxiety. Do you feel it? Let’s pause, take a breath, and sit back for a moment. The battle of anxiety is worth fighting, and little victories can be won every day.

Get cozy on the couch and tune in—it's time for Eagle Brook Unplugged! Enjoy a worship set with Eagle Brook Music and a candid conversation between Bob Merritt and John Alexander.

One starry night, a baby was born in the city of Bethlehem. Nativity scenes are set up, and the story is told again. Mary and Joseph, the shepherds and wise men—they're all here! The story that changed history forever can also change yours.

With the slightest shift in perspective, we can experience more peace and hope—even in times of pain and uncertainty.

Sometimes we feel forgotten—by others or even God. When it happens, it's hard to feel loved and like we really matter. But does God ever truly forget us?

“Probably shouldn’t, but maybe just this one time. No harm.” Let’s find a better game plan when temptation is staring us in the face.

Being betrayed—especially by someone we love—hurts really bad. It’s easy to let resentment take hold of us, but what if we chose a better way?

Whatever we center our life around has the potential to influence everything. And when it's God at the center? We can get ready for HUGE payoffs...for our family and us!

Alarm goes off. Scroll social. Eat breakfast. Go to work. Come home. Eat dinner. Watch a show. Go to bed. Repeat. Need a shakeup in your routine?

Sometimes the biggest problem in my family isn’t my spouse, my kids, my dog…it’s me.

Are the smiles in our family photos genuine or forced? Others may not be able to tell the difference, but we sure can. Sometimes smiles come easily—great things are happening, life is good. But if that's not the current reality? There's still reason to hope.

Most of us won't travel the world helping the homeless, hungry, and poor. But that doesn't have to stop us from impacting people across the street and around the globe. Our above-and-beyond generosity can happen right here, right now.

Time, resources, money—we often try to hold onto these things tightly, especially when we work so hard to earn them. What happens when we decide to start giving them away? We'll make difference in someone's life, but will we see a change in our lives, too?

Have you ever tried to prepare a meal for someone when your pantry was bare? Or tried to be generous with your money but your spending habits have left you with an empty bank account? Imagine the difference we can make if we're ready when the opportunity arises.

It's natural to want to leave when things get tough. When our marriage is strained, our job is frustrating, or our relationships are challenging—we long for a way out. But sometimes the biggest step of faith we can take is to stay.

Seeing our favorite band. Going on a dream vacation. We love to go when it’s fun and exciting—but what about when it isn’t? Starting a new job. Going to the first day of treatment. Uncertainty doesn't have to hold you back when it's time to go.
