In this episode of The Gospel for Everyone, Jason and Lane sit down with Jeremy Sanders. You may recognize that name, he was on the podcast back in November talking about his cancer diagnosis.

Jeremy is back and wanted to talk about the end of life. He is facing terminal cancer and has been put on hospice care. Tune in for this episode for one of the most powerful, encouraging messages you'll ever hear.

Join Lane as he interviews one of our long time missionaries, Adam Barr, all the way from Scotland!

In this episode of The Gospel for Everyone, you will hear Jeremy Sanders share his story with honesty and humility. He talks openly about the choices that shaped him, the brokenness he had to face, and the way God kept calling him back to hope and purpose. His journey is full of struggle, growth, and a steady sense of God guiding him toward a healthier and more faithful life. It is a story of grace, real transformation, and a clear reminder that you are never too far gone for God to redeem and restore.

In this episode, we will begin our podcast version of a series we are currently going through at our church. This is all about spiritual disciplines. The series is called "How We Grow: Practicing the Spiritual Disciplines" and on this episode, we will introduce the series and talk about the discipline of prayer.

While the holidays are a season in our year where we spend a lot of time celebrating and rejoicing, they can also bring about some struggles and problems that may dampen your festive mood.

Join Jason and Lane as they talk about five ways to really not just survive the holiday season, but how you can thrive through the festivities.

The quick list of 5 ways to thrive:
1. Practice gratitude.
2. Pray in advance for patience.
3. Practice rest.
4. Remember those who are gone.
5. Stay focused on Jesus.

In this episode of the Gospel for Everyone - we talk about resources for how to read your Bible, how to understand your Bible, and how to study your Bible.

Do you ever get overwhelmed in regards to the Bible? Why should I study it? Why should I read it? And besides that - there's hundreds of versions, so which one is the right one to read? Why are there so many versions? How do I choose?? How do I get the most out of reading the Bible? These are common questions, and we thought we'd kick off the third season of our podcast looking at these things.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 12 of the Gospel for Everyone.

In today’s episode, we’ll wrap up our conversation on biblical worldview. For the last few episodes, we've been thinking about what it means to develop a biblical worldview. A worldview is the lens we use to make sense of the world. It's a systematic way of looking at things. And everyone has a worldview. So we've been talking about some of the major themes in a biblical worldview: creation and identity and covenant, just to name a few.

In this episode, we will turn our attention to something that is really at the heart of a biblical worldview. A biblical worldview centers around the story of Jesus. All of these things we've discussed about creation and identity and covenant come together in a powerful way in the story of Jesus. He promises me a new identity as a new creation through a new covenant.
