Caring For Your Calling

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 19:47:26 +0000

But, if you’re a Christian, then you have a greater, more overarching Calling “Big C.” In other words, as a Christian, regardless of your career, job, or role in life, you have a greater “Big C” Calling laid over that and that is to represent Jesus to those you encounter. The Apostle Paul calls this our Ambassador Role.

Ep. 17 // Modern Evangelism

Sun, 06 Sep 2020 18:21:30 +0000

Sometimes it seems like Jesus gets sidelined in our weeks. How often do we take the time to discuss the small and large interventions that God has brought into our lives with family and friends? Why do we openly discuss our profession and not our faith? Mark and Sam discuss.

Ep. 17 // It’s Getting Hot In Here

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 23:26:31 +0000

Do we choose burnout or is it inevitable. It seems in this highly busy culture we live that we’re often teetering on the brink of burning out. What does that look like? How does that effect us and how can we handle it and even overcome. Bryce gets together with Mark and Debbie to discuss the dangers and methods of overcoming burnout.

Ep. 16 // Can I Get Your Number?

Thu, 14 Nov 2019 23:05:14 +0000

People love their personality tests. Why do we do the things we do? Why do the people we love do the things they do? What motivates us? What defines us? These tests are beneficial for a lot of reasons. There are also a lot of potential pitfalls if we are not careful. In this episode, Mark, Linnea, and Bryce talk about the utility of these tests in the life of a Christian.

Ep. 15 // Abortion and The Church

Fri, 11 Oct 2019 02:00:37 +0000

The topic of abortion is a divisive one. But, it’s one the church must engage in to be a light in our culture. Is this a political issue or a spiritual one? How do we bring grace, compassion and truth into this topic? How do we offer a soft landing to women embroiled in this battle? How can men step in and be a positive force of grace and truth? Bryce sits down with Tanelle Forgy of Pregnancy Counseling Services and OBGYN Dr. Alli Tobin-WIlliams and have a discussion about this and much much more.

Ep. 14 // Let’s Be Clear (Like a Heart A Window)

Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:05:29 +0000

As social media has grown the amount of information we share has expanded. This has caused many people to close up and reject any kind of openness with others. Others have gone the other way oversharing things usually reserved for close family and friends. Bryce and Mark talk about the idea of transparency in relationships and transparency with God. What are the dangers, fears and freedoms that come from being transparent about who you are? How do we know when it’s safe to share? Let us know your thoughts @foothillscp on twitter or instagram.

Ep. 13 // Our Speech Matters

Fri, 13 Sep 2019 02:31:29 +0000

All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial. We live in a time when it seems like many people want to restrict speech all around the world. What do we think of free speech? What is a Christians role in culture in how they interact with the calling to be peacemakers and glorify God in with their lives? Mark and Bryce discuss.

Ep. 12 // Biblical Sexual Identity Extended (w/ Drew Berryessa)

Tue, 16 Apr 2019 20:52:30 +0000

Drew Berryessa is a very unique voice in the conversation on biblical sexuality as it pertains to homosexuality and the churches response to it. How should the church react to homosexuality? Does the Gospel truly transform lives? Many Christians feel like they have a good foundation for these questions but when applied to sexual identity and homosexuality we have questions and doubts. Bryce & Mark pick Drew’s brain on this and much more.

Ep. 11 // Hope Despite Suffering

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 02:19:40 +0000

Let’s face it, we live in a world that feels unfair. We deal with grief and suffering that seem so far beyond our capacity to endure that it’s easy to lose hope. In these times John 16:33 rings in our ears “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Even in the deep deserts of our souls God is there. Mark sits down with Nicole O’ Meara to talk about her unexpected and unwelcome journey into a life threatening and life changing medical emergency. What happens when you wake up healthy and happy and find yourself in an ICU fighting for your life with the knowledge that it was all a mirage? How do you cope? How do you lean on God? Can you? Nicole shares sobering truth forged in grief few can understand.

Fri, 15 Mar 2019 18:13:11 +0000

Post “Even Better” series at Foothills Church Bryce and Debbie sit down and talk about Marriage. We are not experts in marital relationships, we are flawed people who love the institution of marriage that God has ordained and want to talk about it. What’s your soapbox pitch to newlyweds? The difficulties of marriage? The Benefits? What are some of your marital blind spots? We discuss these and much more today in our studio conversation.

Ep. 9 // Excuse Me? Excuse Me? What’s My Motivation?

Fri, 15 Feb 2019 18:50:46 +0000

We’re all motivated by something. But, when you really stop and think about it, it’s not often clear what it is. Is it family, prestige, money,happiness, greed? If we are so unclear what motivates us, why are we so quick to assume the motivations of others? What does a heavenly perspective of examining our motives and the motives of others look like? Bryce and Mark discuss.

Ep 8. // Relativism is Absolutely True

Fri, 25 Jan 2019 23:08:43 +0000

We live in a confused society that in many ways seems to rail against the concepts of moral and philosophical absolutes. Where does scripture and Christian tradition fit in here? Is the Christian way of thinking archaiac? How can we believe the things we believe when so many smart people out there wholly disagree? Bryce, Mark & Pastor Sam discuss.

Ep 7. // Empower To The People

Thu, 13 Dec 2018 22:31:32 +0000

We all need change in our lives. All of us have accrued hurts, habits and hangups throughout our lives that work themselves out in various unhealthy ways. Don’t think so? Ask a close friend, they’ll tell you. So how do we deal with these toxic habits? Simply put Christ empowers us beyond our will and ability to conform our lives more and more to his likeness daily. Not perfection, but direction. Mark and Bryce discuss their reaction to Pastor Brian’s Sermon “The Spirit of Christmas Present.”

Ep 6. // Redefining Your Identity

Thu, 06 Dec 2018 22:52:23 +0000

Often we are controlled by our past. We allow our past mistakes, victories and everything in between define us. Though these are important, in Christ we are a new creation. This week Bryce and Mark react to Phil’s sermon “The Spirit of Christmas Past” speaking on the significance of Christmas and the joy that comes from our new identity in Christ as saints.

We’d love to hear how phil’s sermon connected with you. Please connect with us on Twitter, Facebook or instagram @foothillscp or by commenting below. You can also send questions to us using the #foothillsconvos and we’ll try to incorporate them into our conversations.

Ep 5. // Anxiety and the Church

Mon, 26 Nov 2018 20:03:43 +0000

It seems pretty clear that anxiety and depression are on a rise in culture due to a wide range of factors. Foothills Church as well as The Church can act as the beacon of light directing people towards the life that Jesus has for them. But how do we do that? How do we confront such a difficult problem in our culture. We sit down with Pastor and counselor Steve Sewell to get some ideas. If you have any other input or if you suffer from anxiety and depression please reach out to us @foothillscp on social media or by commenting below. We’d love to be a resource for you.

Ep 4. // What is Love?

Fri, 16 Nov 2018 00:01:36 +0000

Our culture holds many definitions of love. The Bible boldly proclaims that God is Love. What does that mean? What does God’s look like in our day-to-day life. In this first installment of a conversation on the broad topic of love Dillon, Kaley and Bryce attempt to attack this question. Please give us your insight @foothillscp on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or leave a comment below.

Ep. 3 // You Got To Have Faith

Fri, 16 Nov 2018 00:01:17 +0000

What does it mean to have faith? How does that faith play out in scripture and in our day to day lives? When we suffer pain, tragedy and loss how can our faith carry us through? Mark and Bryce start the discussion on faith and trust in God as soon in the book of Job, Jeremiah and our their own lives. Please join in the conversation as this is only one small facet of the faith and belief discussion. What have you learned as you’ve approached this subject from the biblical perspective?

Ep. 2 // Moneytalks

Thu, 15 Nov 2018 23:47:50 +0000

Money is a surprisingly sensitive topic for people. Our wealth is typically an emotionally tied conversation and therefore a revealing conversation for where our priorities lie. This makes the discussion even more important to have. Bryce and Mark sit down in the Foothills Studio to talk

Ep. 1 // The Art of Civility

Thu, 15 Nov 2018 23:46:44 +0000

In such a divided culture it seems like simple conversations have become more and more difficult to have. Bryce & Mark talk about the need for civil conversation, even in times of disagreement and the Christians calling to put our faith mission before all else.
