18 - Community Group Leader Life

“I invite people to see our Community Groups as a people, not as events…” And if you’re a part of a people, your presence matters deeply! Community groups at Veritas are a beautiful way in which we do life together—belonging to one another. Community Group Leaders Ryan Coholich & Andrew Tate share their heart for community groups, why they’re so valuable to the life of our church, and what goes into leading one in their own experience! We’re thankful for the many unique individuals that God uses to lead, grow, and multiply community groups here at Veritas.

17 - Missions Stories: From Columbus to Kathmandu, Nepal

Since the early days of Veritas, we've been blessed to be connected to what God is doing across the world in the country of Nepal. Veritas Tri-City has developed a close relationship with a church in Kathmandu, and has been able to invest in their mission to see the gospel proclaimed throughout the country for many years. Last year, several members of Veritas Tri-City traveled to Nepal to deepen relationships, encourage local believers, and help equip pastors to faithfully continue the work of gospel ministry. In this episode, Brad and Scarlett Snyder, Casaundra Courtright, and Mark Ferch reflect on the history of this partnership, share stories from their time in Nepal, and talk about how they were personally impacted by witnessing God at work through His church in a remote village halfway around the world.

16 - Faith-Based Addiction Recovery with The Refuge Ohio

Veritas West members Matthew Demoulin and Jordan Fillmore first arrived at the Veritas West building for an orientation to The Refuge Addiction Recovery program at a point of deep desperation, seeking help beyond themselves. Today, by the grace of God, both serve on staff at The Refuge, dedicating their days to helping other men find healing, community, and ultimately a relationship with God. We sat down with them to learn more about The Refuge ministry, which partners closely with Veritas West, and to hear their personal stories of walking through the addiction recovery process. This is an episode you won’t want to miss! If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, don’t hesitate to reach out to The Refuge to learn more. There is freedom.

15 - Preparing for the Pulpit with Brad Snyder

This week on the Voices of Veritas podcast, Tri-City Lead Pastor Brad Snyder gives us a closer look at something that happens every week at Veritas—preaching! How do our elders prepare sermons? What’s the difference between preaching and teaching? And what does it look like to prepare faithfully in community with other pastors and staff? Join us as we explore the heart behind preaching and are reminded of God’s faithfulness to work through the proclamation of His gospel. We're thankful for elders who love the word of God and desire to proclaim it faithfully every single week!

In this episode, they share how God answered prayers, opened doors, and worked through the faithfulness of ordinary people stepping out in obedience to see lives transformed by the gospel!
