S2, E26: When the World Feels Out of Control

S2, E26: In this episode, we continue our Summer in the Psalms series by looking at Psalm 2 and asking a question every generation has wrestled with: “Is everything falling apart?” We talk about why humanity resists God’s authority, what it means that Jesus is King, how God’s sovereignty should shape our response to the chaos around us, and why our ultimate hope is not found in governments, leaders, or circumstances — but in Christ. FEATURING: Pastor Jeff Christensen, Pastor James Lewis, and Anna Wiggins. Hosted by Pastor Nick Ertel. Welcome to the Morning Manna Podcast. You’re invited to the table for real conversations about faith, culture, and the everyday pursuit of loving God, loving each other, and loving the world around us.

S2, E25: Understanding God's Fatherly Heart

S2, E25: In this episode, we continue our Summer in the Psalms series by looking at Psalm 103 and the Father Heart of God. Is God angry? Is He compassionate? Does grace mean there are no consequences? David reminds us that our Father is merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. FEATURING: Dr. Carlo Serrano, Pastor James Lewis, and Pastor Todd Capen. Hosted by Pastor Nick Ertel.

S2, E24: Why Comparison Is Stealing Your Peace

S2, E24: In this episode we talk about why comparison is stealing our peace, how the voices we listen to shape the way we see the world, and why staying close to Jesus changes our perspective. Psalm 73 reminds us that even faithful people wrestle with frustration, disappointment, and moments where life just feels unfair. Asaph’s circumstances didn’t change, but everything shifted when he got back into the presence of God. Join us as we talk about what it looks like to stop looking sideways, audit our inputs, and stay close to Jesus. FEATURING: Dr. Carlo Serrano, Anna Wiggins, and Pastor Jeff Christensen. Hosted by Pastor Nick Ertel.

S2, E23: What Does It Mean To Be Blessed?

S2, E23: In this episode we begin our journey this summer through the Psalms by looking at Psalm 20 and what it means to truly be blessed by God. We discuss why the Psalms still matter today, the difference between blessing and positive thinking, and how to trust in the Name of the Lord instead of the “chariots and horses” of our own lives. FEATURING: Lead Pastor Chris Fletcher, Dr. Carlo Serrano, and Pastor Andrew Sutton. Hosted by Pastor Nick Ertel.
