In this episode, Amanda from the EveryHeart Movement in Grand Rapids, Michigan, teaches from Psalm 23 and explores what it means to truly believe the words, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."
Through Scripture and personal testimony, this message examines the tension between God's promises and the places where we still feel lack. From the Garden of Eden to Israel in the wilderness to the life of Jesus, Amanda reveals how our deepest struggles often come back to one question: can we trust the Father's care?
Rather than taking control into our own hands, we are invited to surrender, depend on God, and find our satisfaction in Christ. This teaching is a call to return to the Shepherd, trust His leadership, and discover what it means to truly lack nothing.

This episode is a message for anyone who feels worn down by anxiety, pressure, or the quiet belief that they should be doing better by now.
Drawing from Philippians 4, Isaac reflects on the kind of peace Scripture describes as being beyond understanding. Not a peace that comes from having everything under control, but a peace that guards our hearts and minds even while life still feels heavy.
Through Scripture and lived experience, this message challenges the idea that faith means the absence of struggle. Instead, it points to a deeper invitation found in Philippians 4: to bring our worries to God, to practice trust, and to receive a peace that does not depend on circumstances changing first.
Rather than offering quick fixes, this conversation creates space to breathe, to question, and to re-center on what it actually means to trust God when your emotions haven’t caught up yet.
If you’ve ever felt discouraged by your own anxiety, unsure if your faith is “enough,” or tired of carrying what you were never meant to hold alone, this message is for you.

In this message, we open Luke 7:36–50 and step into a dinner party where Jesus is anointed by a woman known only as “a sinner.” Surrounded by religious leaders, social judgment, and unspoken tension, her response to Jesus becomes the model Jesus himself ties to the proclamation of the gospel.
This teaching explores what revival truly looks like in this moment. Not hype, performance, or trend-driven Christianity, but repentance that is honest, costly, and transformative. Through cultural context, Greek language insight, and a close reading of the text, we see how repentance is not a way to earn grace, but the response to grace already given.
The message also addresses confusion around sin, repentance, and identity in Christ. It walks through key passages in 1 John and Romans to clarify what it means to be saved, to still wrestle with sin, and to live under a new master. Repentance is framed not as shame, but as worship, a life poured out at the feet of Jesus.
We close by moving from one dinner party in Luke 7 to another at the Lord’s Supper, where Jesus’ posture toward sinners, including Judas, reveals the depth of his mercy and love. This message invites us to remember the woman Jesus eternally linked to the gospel and to ask ourselves what it looks like to respond to that same mercy today.
Revival looks like repentance.

In this episode we look at the life of King Solomon. The man who had everything. Wisdom, wealth, pleasure, projects, status, and influence. Yet after chasing every desire of his heart, Solomon looked back and said it was all vanity and like trying to catch the wind. His story exposes what happens when we try to build a life on things that cannot satisfy.
We compare Solomon’s journey to ours today. Many of us climb career ladders, chase relationships, look for comfort in sex, drinking, drugs, success, or even good things like family, creativity, and doing good. But when the people we love fail or leave, or when the things we build collapse, our purpose collapses with them. Nothing this world offers can hold the weight of our desire for peace.
From there we turn to Psalm 23 and the life God invites us into.The Lord is my Shepherd. True peace is found in intimacy with Him.I shall not want. God meets the desires that nothing else can fill.He leads me. He restores me. He protects me. He satisfies me.Even in the valley of the shadow of death, we do not lose peace because He is with us.
Psalm 23 shows us that the life we long for is not built on achievement or pleasure. It is built on relationship with a Shepherd who heals our wounds, shapes our purpose, and gives us a prosperity that death cannot touch.

Sin has always separated us from God, not just through what we do, but through the lies we believe. Lies about who He is, what is good, and what will satisfy us. From the very beginning, those lies have pulled humanity away from the One who made us for relationship with Him.
Yet even in our rebellion, God never stopped pursuing us. In the story of Hosea, we see His heart to buy back what was lost and love those who turned away. Jesus paid the price to bring us home, offering a love that forgives, restores, and makes us new.
This message was recorded live at the University of Manitoba on October 19, 2025. It’s part of our heart behind Pray for Manitoba; to see a generation return to God, encounter His love, and live in relationship with Him.

In this episode, we dive into Romans 3:9–25 and are reminded of a simple but powerful truth: we can’t save ourselves. No amount of effort or “being good enough” could make us right with God — but Jesus stepped in, gave His life, and offered us grace we could never earn.
That truth doesn’t just change our lives; it’s meant to move us to action. If the gospel really is this good, we can’t keep it to ourselves. This is a conversation to remind us what Jesus has done and to challenge us to live boldly and share the hope we’ve been given.

The message delves deep into the Father’s love, trustworthiness, and how recognizing our identity as God's children grants us the authority to expand His kingdom. It explores themes of love, trust, redemption, and the power we hold through prayer, emphasizing God's unwavering support through our faith journey.

On this episode of the Open Space Podcast, we talk about Grandma’s Story and one of the most well-known moments in the Bible — Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. Just like her, we all look for meaning in different places, but Jesus offers something better: Himself.
This conversation is all about slowing down, being honest about what we’re chasing, and seeing how Jesus brings real life, peace, and hope. Whether you’re brand new to faith or you’ve been around church for years, it’s a reminder that He’s exactly who our hearts have been looking for.
