Eagle Brook Church Podcast

You’re not here by accident. You’ve got a unique purpose only you can fulfill. The question isn’t if you'll make a difference, but how?

You might think you've got this whole 'life' thing under control. You’re strong, capable, and resilient—but carrying the weight of your whole life? No one person is that strong. So lean into a God who is.

Starting the Bible from page one? It doesn't take long before you're buried in lists, genealogies, and Old Testament rules…BORING. But you know spending time in God's word is important. So, where to start? Start with this message—we’ll help you out.

If the Bible feels intimidating, confusing, and, well...boring—you're not alone. But with the right tools and some quality time, watch the Bible come to life, offering wisdom, guidance, and truth in a way nothing else can.

Every day is a gift, but that's easy to forget when tasks pile up and life feels like too much to handle. Don't wait to find joy "someday"—why not grab hold of it today?

Your alarm rings—what's your move? Hit snooze or jump out of bed? Donuts or eggs? Time with God or time to scroll? Your daily choices matter. Tap into some biblical wisdom and set yourself up for success.

Struggles—we've all got 'em. And as much as we want to avoid them, maybe they aren't all bad. There can be joy even in the toughest times, strength built through pain, and hope discovered when God meets us in the mess.

Feeling stuck? Life can throw some curveballs—sometimes it's hard to know what to do next. So, when you can't rewind but fear is keeping you from moving forward, it's time to choose: sit back and let life pass you by or go all in and let God do a new thing.

When someone says "I promise," what's your response? Maybe you believe it…or maybe you know better. How have broken promises impacted your faith? God promises to hear you when you pray—and truly trusting that could make all the difference.

Who are you, really? Not just your name, age, or what you do. Who are you at your core—and how do you discover that? It takes God's truth to answer this question with confidence and conviction. Everything changes when you discover your true identity in who he says you are.

For most of us, there's a bit of a gap between our intentions and our actions. You want to stop eating sugar...but then a coworker brings donuts. The same goes for living out our faith. You want to love your neighbor...but people can be frustrating. So, what's standing in the way of living out your faith—and what if you truly lived what you believed?

If you plant an apple tree in your backyard, it won't grow in your front yard instead. Trees bloom where they're planted. Same goes for life. The seeds you plant with your time and energy will ultimately be the ones to grow over time. Question is…are you putting your energy in the places God has for you?

When it comes to life's tough stuff, you have a choice. No, you can't choose the burdens you'll carry, but you can choose to help others carry theirs.

Imagine this: joy that isn’t tied to your circumstances, love that's deep and real, peace that surpasses all understanding. If that sounds too good to be true, it’s because it is—at least on your own. But with the Holy Spirit guiding your life, true transformation becomes a reality.

This Eagle Brook Church message is a sermon by Jason Strand. He'll talk about how to engage and interact with people you disagree with in a healthy, biblical way, what to do when you feel judged, and ways to handle anger with grace and humility. This message is out of the book of Galatians.

Maybe church for you has been all about dos, don’ts, consequences, and fear—far from anything you'd call "free." But hear this: it’s not meant to be that way. There is true freedom to be found in a relationship with Jesus.

Every parent knows that handing over the car keys for the first time is a significant (and nerve-wracking) milestone. Because it's true: the driver decides the destination—and the path taken to get there. So, who's in the driver’s seat of your life? Loosening your grip on the wheel can lead to more freedom than you think.

There’s a time and place to push back and fight for what you think is right. But figuring that out can be tricky. Take Jesus, for example. He leaned in and pushed back on important things because some things are worth fighting for—but not everything. So, how do you prioritize your pushback? If you push back on everything, you lessen your influence on anything.

Seeking approval from others can feel satisfying, but what if it doesn't align with your true self? Besides, whose opinion truly matters in the end—others' or God's? The real question to ponder is: Whose approval shapes the way you live your life?

Relationships can leave scars deeper than physical wounds. Betrayal, misunderstanding, or abandonment can color every interaction with doubt. But, I'm learning that healing starts with acknowledging the hurt and finding courage to rebuild trust—with the love and grace of Jesus leading the way.
