You Asked For It Vol 2 | Is Jesus Really The Only Way to Heaven?

Powerful Prayers | Overwhelmed

Powerful Prayers | S9E3 Beyond The Weekend Podcast In this episode of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Amelia Rhodes and Stephen Lewis sit down with Pastor Jeff Manion to explore what it means to trust God when life feels overwhelming. Centered on Jehoshaphat’s prayer in 2 Chronicles 20—“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you”—the conversation unpacks the tension between preparation and unexpected hardship, the difference between Old and New Testament promises, the power of spiritual friendships and praying in community, and the reminder that God’s presence remains constant even in crisis. Through honest stories of suffering, disappointment, and faith, they encourage listeners to keep turning toward God, praising him in the middle of the battle, and trusting that it’s never too late to fix our eyes on him.

Powerful Prayers | Hannah's Prayer

Powerful Prayers | S9E2 Beyond The Weekend Podcast What does it look like to pour out your heart to God when life feels painful, confusing, or deeply disappointing? In week two of our Powerful Prayers series, Stephen Lewis, Amelia Rhodes, and Pastor Aaron Buer unpack Hannah’s raw and honest prayer in 1 Samuel 2, explore why emotional honesty with God is a mark of spiritual maturity, trace the thread of God’s attentiveness from Hagar to Hannah to Mary, and reflect on the “great reversals” that happen when brokenness is surrendered to Jesus.

Powerful Prayers | The Lord's Prayer

Powerful Prayers | S9E1 Beyond The Weekend Podcast What would happen if we committed to 50 days of prayer together? We're kicking off our Powerful Prayers series by exploring Aaron's hopes for what prayer could do in our church and city, diving deeper into forgiveness and what it actually means to release someone from their debt, unpacking what "Our Father in heaven" really tells us about God's nearness and power, and what it looks like to depend on God for our daily bread in a culture obsessed with self-sufficiency.

You Asked For It Vol 2 | Is Jesus Really The Only Way to Heaven?

In Season 8 Episode 4 of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Sam Schubkegel, East Paris Men's Small Groups Director and Director of Young Adult Ministry, and Bella Vista Campus Pastor Brad Holmes sit down with guest pastor John Dickson to tackle some of the biggest questions about faith. Topics ranged from the historical evidence for the Bible's reliability to how we can be sure of our salvation. We also explored how Christians can share their faith with people of other religions and with non-believing friends and family without it feeling forced or awkward. We wrapped up by asking John what one step listeners can take this week if they've been waiting for every answer before moving forward, or avoiding the one step that really matters. Thrown in are some fun personal questions about John—if you've been waiting for kangaroo content or have had a hunch that our favorite Australian can sing, this is the episode for you.

You Asked For It Vol 2 | Baptism

You Asked For It v2 | S8E3 Beyond The Weekend Podcast What is baptism? What isn't it?! We're continuing our You Asked For It Volume 2 series by seeing what the Bible has to say about baptism. Join Amelia Rhodes, pastor Luke Koskinen, and pastor Aaron Buer for Season 8 Episode 3 of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast as they cover what it is (an ordinance, not a sacrament), how Catholic, Reformed, and Believer's Baptism traditions differ in their understanding of it, and what happens to infants who die. The hosts also trace how baptism shifted historically from a believer's practice to a civic ritual under Constantine, then back again through the Reformation. The episode closes with a personal story about student baptisms and a practical next step for anyone feeling called to be baptized. Resources mentioned in this episode: 1.
