Passion City Church Podcast

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio kicks off a new series, Yes, with the truth that our most valuable possession is our Yes to God. How are you posturing your heart before God? Are you open and free with your future, or are you looking for a fool-proof plan before you’ll even take a step? Our willingness to be open to the plans and purposes of God in our lives is crucial to not just our own happiness and ability to thrive, but the future of everyone in whose life God wants to work through us. God is ready to use you, are you willing to say yes to Him? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Before you were looking for Jesus, He was looking out for you. This week, Pastor Brad Jones reminds us of the story of Zacchaeus, who climbed a tree amongst a crowd just to catch a glimpse of Jesus. As a corrupt tax collector, Zacchaeus was an outsider, someone the people of his town believed would be the absolute last person Jesus would address. Yet, because of his faith and desire to see Jesus, his faith and perseverance were rewarded. We have this same opportunity today, to focus our energy on seeing and knowing Jesus. No matter how far on the outside we may feel, Jesus is looking to bring us into His family if we just open our eyes to who He really is. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio wants us to focus in on God’s Wrath and His Mercy. It’s only by fully realizing the one, that we can appreciate in earnest the other. God’s Mercy only makes the impact on our lives that it should when we have a full grasp of His Wrath that was due us until it was poured upon Jesus that day on Calvary answering the prayers of God’s people : LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio wants us to broaden the lens through which we see our God. After all, in order to have a right view of our lives, we have to have a right view of God. To know that there is a deeper level of spirituality that we have access to because our God is calling us into. His name is Elohim, El Olam, the everlasting and eternal God. He is before all and after all and yet He is in the details of your life, there for every moment. The God you can know knows you, and He loves you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us that we aren’t dealing with a god who is on our level. Our God is seated on a throne high and exalted with all rule and all authority. He is Sovereign. What does this mean for you? This mean He is able; able to do whatever He wants to do, and He can. This means your God is more powerful than the mess you find yourself in; than the circumstances around you; than anything and everything you will encounter. In a chaotic world, your God is sitting high and exalted, able and willing to do what is best for your life because He desires you to be with Him. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

God wants to be known by you, and you can know as much about Him as you have the appetite and desire to know. — There is never going to be a moment in your pursuit of God where there's a sign that says, "authorized personnel only beyond this point. You can go as high up on the mountain as you want to go." Our God is The God You Can Know. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This last series was so powerful as we discovered how to make our life count in every moment that we decided to hear from some leaders in our House who are doing just that. — Join Brad Jones as he sits down with Basketball legend Maya Moore, CEO and Founder of Reagan Consulting, Bobby Reagan, Chief Meteorologist David Chandley, Urban Community Developer Donnell Woodson, and Photography Icon Mary Caroline Russell to discuss what it looks like for each of them to carry the name of Jesus well through their individual giftings.

Our aim is for people to hear about Jesus. — This week, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us of our ultimate goal and shows us how no matter the size of our platform the mission is the same. Take Maya Moore for example. One of the greatest women's basketball player of all time has leveraged her public platform to tell the world about Jesus, and spends her Sundays planted in the body of Christ and leading out in the choir. — So, yes we should strive for excellence in our work, to be distinctive in our passion and dedication, to pay the cost to be consistent; but if all of that doesn't ultimately build a platform on which we tell the world around us about Jesus, then we will never live out our calling to it's end goal.

In our third week of PASSION + PURPOSE, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us that Costly Consistency has to be the grid that we have to look at each step of our journey towards being the best in our passion and profession through. There are unavoidable steps that each of us has to take in order to be the best at what we do and use that platform to reflect Jesus to the world. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The beginning of a new year brings about questions like… Am I on the right track? Does my life matter? Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing? Am I in God’s will? God’s will isn’t that you figure out the right thing to do, God’s will is that you figure out the right person to know. To know Jesus and to make Him known. That is God’s will for our lives. In Part 1 of our new series, Passion + Purpose* (*and designer jeans), Pastor Louie helps us reframe the conversation around what our purpose in life really is.

On December 30th we gathered together as a church to look into the new year. Pastor Ben Stuart challenged us to see the next generation through the lens of faith, Katherine Wolf shared her story, reminding us all that we get to use the pain of our past for God’s glory, and Pastor Louie Giglio anchored our hearts around Isaiah 26:8, calling us to lift our gaze higher to a purpose greater than ourselves – the name and fame of Jesus.

What if one of the most well-known stories in scripture was also one of the most misunderstood? — Most of us can recite the story of the prodigal son from memory. After all it's a parable about how far you and I have turned from God, how we've ran far away and need his forgiveness... isn't it? Or is it possible, that when Jesus was telling this story He meant for us to focus on the Father? His arms stretched wide open as his runaway son returned. His eagerness to welcome him home with a kiss and a celebration. Maybe the story of the Prodigal Son is actually more about the Father who loved him through it all. — This Christmas Eve, Pastor Louie Giglio wants you to know that this isn't just someone else's story; that lost uncle, brother, or daughter. This story is all of ours, and the best part is we have a home and we are most welcome to it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"Jesus intends not just to bring peace to you, but through you.” — Closing out The Missing Peace series, Pastor Ben Stuart guides us through what it looks like to be peacemakers in a broken world. We are meant to leverage the freedom we have in Jesus to bring peace to others. — How do you be a peacemaker? By praying and by greeting. Love looks like prayer. Greeting someone initiates kindness, and communicates respect. Peacemakers extend love beyond expected boundaries. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If many of us know about Jesus and the peace He brings, why is it that we walk around with such a lack of it? This week, Global Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us that connecting with the peace of Jesus will require a recalibration of how we think about Him, and who He really is.

Peace. Most of us are surrounded by an utter lack of Peace. The world around us is more and more chaotic with uncertainty and anxiety at every turn. Looking back at the world it looks as if things have always been this way and always will be; until we catch a glimpse of a young woman giving birth to a Savior and the angels proclaiming, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" — In week one of our new series, The Missing Peace Pastor Louie Giglio wants us to remember that there is someone who brings Peace. He is the Prince of Peace; our Shalom in the storm. His name is Jesus, and He came not just to bring you life, but to bring you peace. What a miracle, what a savior, what a Peacemaker.

Too many of us have given stress and anxiety a permanent seat at our table. We live layered between regrets from yesterday and worry about tomorrow. Yet in the Lord's Prayer we here the simple decree that can set us free.

What are you living for? A better question... What are you living from? What / who are you building your life out of? — This week Pastor Aaron Coe reminds us why these are such critical questions for us to ask, because ultimately what we are building from will determine how we move through life in all of its highs and lows.

Many of us remember where we were the exact moment where we were when the Gospel first clicked for us and we understood our need for a Savior, and while that moment began an incredible journey internally, it was also meant to start an actual journey where we would then turn and live out that same Gospel to the people in the neighborhoods, cities, and countries we live in. — This week, Pastor Bryson Vogeltanz reminds us that the Gospel starts with a simple command, "Go!"

What would it be like if you were fully known? All of your inner thoughts, feelings, your most private successes and failures on display? For all of us, this is a terrifying thought, after all, who would love someone if they could see all of the things we keep hidden away from the world? — This week, Grant Partrick wants you to know a life-shifting truth. Jesus not only sees all of the things you want to keep hidden away, but He wants you to bring those things to Him openly. He knows you, loves you, and died for you. You are free of the hiding, free of the shame, and free to be yourself. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

God can save anyone, anywhere. — Scott Harrison is the founder and CEO of Charity Water. He spends his days working to make sure the last and least of the world have access to clean water. He's given his life to see the people most of the world has turned away from. — But this was not always his life. This is Scott's story.

You and I have an all-access pass, an invitation into something so much larger and greater than ourselves and yet most of us overlook it every day. Our ability to communicate with God is something altogether mysterious, and magnificent, a gift that we hardly take advantage of; relegating it to a last resort or wishlist. — But what if we didn't. What if we treated prayer like what it really is? How would the world around us change if we opened up to our Heavenly Father, brought Him the praise due to His name, and asked for things with confidence that He alone knows the true best course?

"Fear is faith in the Enemy" — In this message, Pastor Louie Giglio talks about possibly the most universal chain yet, the chain of fear. So many of us live bound up in this chain, allowing it to dictate how we spend our days. The truth is this if we are bound up in fear, we are not walking in the freedom that Jesus purchased for us at Calvary. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“God wants to cultivate in us a new mindset of stewardship instead of ownership.” — God wants us to live fearless and free, and one of those things is living free from debt. By shifting our mindset away from ownership of our finances, and towards the reality that God has entrusted us to be good stewards over it, we’ll begin to see Him working through our lives in ways we didn’t know was possible.

God desires for us to have margin in our lives financially so that we can live generously and leave a wake of generosity for others. — This week, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us of the difference between living at the forefront of God’s plans for us versus living reactionarily at the tail.

“Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” Isaiah 6:7 — What have you allowed to DEFINE you? Is it who God says that you are, or is it the memory, the guilt, or the shame of your past mistakes? Many of us walk around daily carrying the chain of shame, preventing us from walking in the freedom that was purchased for us at the Cross. But the pathway to freedom is open to all in the covering of Grace. After all, grace redefines us from failure to family. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Aaron Coe // Bitterness, comparison, envy; these chains are some of the most deadly that we can find ourselves bound up in. We feel as if we aren't good enough, and so we look at people who seemingly have it all and begin to resent both their gifting and our own, along with the God who gave out those giftings. — Pastor Aaron Coe wants us to realize the true danger of bitterness, that if we let it in, it will creep into the deepest parts of us and eat away at our soul. But there is good news. Jesus came not only to bring us from death to life but to give us life in the full. He has conquered each and every chain, including the deadly chain of bitterness, and we can look to Him in order to walk free of it forever. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Brad Jones // There are things that we have to walk away from in life. Chains that will bind us up despite the freedom given to us in Christ, and if we aren't willing to let them go, will keep us from living in the fullness of God's plan for our lives. — In this message, Pastor Brad Jones wants us to not only realize what chains of bitterness we are holding on to due to the actions of people, but the chains of bitterness are we holding in regards to our relationship with God.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 — For a lot of us, the thing that’s keeping us from living fearless and free is that we are chained to the past. The enemy will attempt to use the chain of our past to keep us from fully stepping into the freedom that Jesus is offering. In fact, our past is much more of a weapon to be used to tell the story of who Jesus is, than it is something that we should be ashamed to talk about. The invitation to freedom and empowerment is on the table, let go of the chain of your past and step into it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio // Jesus has come to set you free. — How many of us really are living in the truth? The truth that long before we were born our fight came to an end? Are we walking in the reality that Jesus won the war, that our chains are broken and dealt with, that we are truly free? — In the first message of our Chain Breaker series, Pastor Louie Giglio looks at the chain of Doubt and the One who is able to break this chain along with every other.

Grant Partrick // Every one of us searching for what will satisfy us, that thing that will finally bring us to a place where we no longer thirst for more. The problem is that we are all looking in the wrong place. Broken cistern after broken cistern leads us to believe that we will never be content, that is until we meet Jesus. — The one who created us knows exactly what it takes to satisfy us, Himself.

Clay Scroggins // “The danger of noise is that if we continue to turn the noise up and run away from the things that we’re feeling, we’re actually avoiding dealing with the things that God may be intending for us to deal with.” — Such a powerful message from North Point Community Church Lead Pastor, Clay Scroggins.

Pastor Louie Giglio // "You are not free floating and arbitrary but you are designed and destined by God." — We have a big purpose in life and no circumstance can thwart that! When our purpose is as big as wanting the world to know about Jesus...no cancer can stop that. Death can't stop that. No circumstance can stop that! Each of those things simply becomes a megaphone for helping us tell the story of Jesus to the world. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio // All of us are going to face difficulties. Situations that will push their way into our life + our dreams, disrupting our perfectly crafted plans. But here’s the truth. Come what may, we flip the script on those difficulties when we decide that everything can be used for the Glory of God, including our pain. It’s our scars that amplify our story of salvation.

Pastor Louie Giglio // "The unfinished work of the Church is to make sure everyone on Earth hears about the finished work of Jesus." — We are, by nature, consumers, not creators. Just look at the Pareto Principle; 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. This means that even in the Church today, 80% of the work, 80% of the buy-in, 80% of the effort, is contributed by 20% of the people. This is not how the Church is supposed to function. — It's time for us to move towards the Pneuma Principle, where 100% of the people who embrace the Messiah contribute to the working of the Holy Spirit. This takes all of us doing our part, all of us pulling our weight, all of us leaning All In. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio // Jesus is the ultimate place-maker. Through Him everything around us was created, and by His sacrifice, a place for us was made in His Father’s House. — As followers of Jesus, we are called to be place-makers in our own right. To set the table for the people of our city to sit at and experience all God has for them. This is how we step into a broken and wandering world, with open hands and a place made ready; but in order to do that, we will need to be willing to go above and beyond where we’ve ever been before.

When the Holy Spirit arrived in Acts 2, there was a seismic shift in the climate of the city. In our new series, POWER-FULL, Pastor Louie Giglio encourages us around what this could mean for our cities if we are open to being filled with the Holy Spirit. — Our cities are full of people searching for what is real, what will last, where they fit into the story that's unfolding around them. As Christians, we have been called into the ministry of reconciliation, being filled with the Holy Spirit and playing our part in the coming to life of the people in our neighborhoods, cities, and world.

Pastor Louie Giglio // “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 — We want to be men who contend for what matters most. However, most of us realize that we aren’t going to fulfill our God-designed destiny alone. That’s why we are inviting every man to join a Fight Club, a group of 3-5 men who meet together on a consistent basis to spur one another on as we fight in four arenas: 1. We want to fight for our walk with God. 2. We want to fight for our heart and character. 3. We want to fight for our family (and future family). 4. We want to fight for our brother. Afterall, scripture teaches that we have a spiritual Enemy who is warring against us in each of these arenas, and we are confident that a Fight Club is our best defense in the battle. — If you are interested in joining a FIGHT CLUB, visit https://passioncitychurch.com/fightclub/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Ben Stuart // The spirit of God is all about unity. In Ephesians Chapter 4, we are called to bear with one another in love. When we love each other, we love God. This is the heart of unity. — In a culture with increasing individuality, we may start to think that unity means uniformity, but this is not the case. In this week’s message, Pastor Ben Stuart explains how unity and diversity go hand in hand. When we link arms with those who are different than us, we’re stepping into a greater God-story.

What’s left to catch us when the bottom falls out from under us? This week, Pastor Ben Stuart talks about the importance of letting Jesus dwell in all areas of our lives. — When Christ is able to enter all areas of our heart, we become rooted and grounded in love. It is here that our lives begin to look different. Sometimes the best change doesn’t come from a change in circumstances, but a change in perspective. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Levi Lusko // "In the year King Uzziah died..." 52 years of strength were gone in an instant, and with their enemies gathering strength the People of God looked in the only direction they could... up.

Pastor Ben Stuart // In a day and age where there seems to be rapid growth in hostility between people groups, God is calling us back into the family. — This week Pastor Ben Stuart encourages us in a message about unity. In a breakdown of Ephesians Chapter 2, we find that the grounds for unity is humility, and the goal of unity is Glory. When we love each other with a contributing spirit instead of a critical one, Jesus gets the glory! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Ben Stuart // “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:8-10 — New identities bring new activities. When we accept the gift of grace and are raised with Christ, our lives begin to take on new activities. It is not because of our actions we are saved. Rather, it is because we are saved that our lives begin to look different! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
