    Why Jesus Washed Feet (and Why You Should, Too!) S4E04

    This week on Church Unscripted, Pastor David takes the "hot seat" as Pastor John and Pastor Eric jump right into some raw, challenging questions about service, faith, and identity. The discussion starts with Jesus washing his disciples’ feet, then shifts into the messy, real-life realities of serving others in today’s world. They dig into what it means to serve from your identity in God (not just for Him), wrestle with the tension of reluctant service, and explore the hard truth of serving people who’ve hurt or betrayed you. They even tackle the tough, practical question: “What happens when you’re burned out? Is it okay to step back?” Whether you’re deeply involved in church life, thinking about stepping into service, or struggling with your faith, this conversation will push you to reflect on your motivations and the posture of your heart.

    Building Wisdom In Marriage & Relationships S4E03

    In this episode of Church Unscripted, Pastor Eric is joined by Pastor John and Pastor David to wrap up their series on marriage, exploring what makes a great partner and how to respond when a loved one is walking toward a foolish decision.

Ultimately, the episode emphasizes the role of respect, intentionality, and prayer in cultivating stronger relationships and preventing regret. Listeners are encouraged to engage with the podcast, share questions, and seek wisdom as they build Jesus-centered homes and Gosple saturated communities.
