Spaces | S10E3 Beyond the Weekend Podcast

In this episode of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Amelia Rhodes and Stephen Lewis welcome first-time guest Rachael Sproull, Cascade Campus worship leader, to the studio to dig deeper into The Road, the third message in the Spaces series. Together, they discuss different road encounters from Scripture. Stephen explains what Balaam's donkey sees that the famous seer can't. He also describes who the Ethiopian official is and what it costs him to travel more than a thousand miles to worship. Along the way, Rachael shares her own story. She grew up in a pastor's home and spent years dependent on prescription medication. Then the Holy Spirit met her on a drive home and again on her front porch, which led to freedom and a new calling. The conversation lands on a hopeful truth: no one is too far gone, and wherever we are on the road, Jesus invites us to follow him and sends us out as his witnesses.

In this episode of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Amelia Rhodes and Luke Koskinen welcome Pastor Aaron Buer back to the studio to dig deeper into Springs of Water, the second message in the Spaces series. They talk through how Aaron chooses which passages to preach—and why he turned to Ezekiel's lesser-known vision of a river flowing from the temple—before tracing the connections between Jeremiah 17, Psalm 1, and the image of a tree planted by flowing streams. The conversation turns honest as they discuss what to do when you're doing "all the right things" spiritually and still feel dry, and each confesses the cisterns they're tempted to dig instead of resting by God's river. From there, they follow the imagery of the Dead Sea, Ezekiel, and Jesus all the way to Revelation 22, landing on a simple truth: only God can bring life to dry and dead places.

In this episode of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Stephen Lewis and Amelia Rhodes sit down with Pastor Aaron Buer to explore what it really means to live a blessed life. As they unpack the first message in the Spaces series, they challenge the common idea that blessing means comfort, success, or getting what we want, and instead point to the deeper blessing of knowing and trusting God—even in seasons of suffering and uncertainty. Through honest conversation about pain, unanswered prayer, community, and learning to trust God’s promises over time, they explore how we can become conduits of God’s blessing to the people around us. The conversation ultimately invites us to consider: What might need to change in our lives for us to become more of a conduit of blessing?
