The New Life Community Church Podcast

Fear might move the air, but faith decides the direction. In the storms of life, it’s easy to get stuck, paralyzed by worry or uncertainty. Learn how to recognize the “red flags” of fear, step out of the boat, and trust God’s presence to guide you through every wave.

Fear is universal—but God’s Word is clear: Do Not Fear. Why does fear show up in every stage of life?  What does it reveals about our trust in God?  How can His love drive fear out?  Using the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, we discover how God’s presence gives courage, peace, and hope—even in life's fiercest "fires."

Work isn’t just what you do—it’s how you worship. Learn how faith is trust in action and two spiritual practices—tithing and Sabbath—to help you trust God with money, control, and your work. Learn how to bring your faith into your Monday and find freedom, purpose, and peace.

Work isn’t just a paycheck — it’s a calling and an act of worship. But too often, we think worship is just between us and God. The story of the Good Samaritan shows us how worship should flow into how we love and serve the people around us.  Learn why we sometimes “stay on our donkey” and how to let your faith overflow into action, making your work truly honor God.

Work can be worship—but only if your heart stays aligned with God. In this message, we explore why work often feels frustrating, survival-driven, and disconnected from God, and we uncover four “worship killers” that sneak into the workplace: comparison, selfish ambition, drifting or drowning, and fear or anxiety.

We spend nearly a third of our adult lives working—yet most of us never stop to ask, does my work really matter to God?  In this kickoff to our new series Good Work, we unpack a biblical theology of work, showing us that work isn’t a curse but a calling.

In this final message of our series "Ordinary People, Extraordinary God", we unpack the feeding of the 5,000 from John 6. Discover how one boy’s ordinary lunch reveals the pattern of God’s extraordinary work when we trust Him.

Feeling ordinary? You’re not alone. In this message, we unpack the story of Lydia in Acts 16 to show how God turns the ordinary into extraordinary the moment we choose to live with an open heart, home, and life.

Obadiah was an ordinary man working in a corrupt palace, yet he chose faithfulness and obedience.  His quiet courage paved the way for God’s extraordinary work.  Learn how your everyday life can make an extraordinary impact.

This message dives into the life of Joseph—better known as Barnabas, the “Son of Encouragement.” From selling his land to support the early church, to believing the best about Paul, and giving John Mark a second chance, Barnabas shows us what it looks like to encourage, invest in, and restore others.
