Description

If we’re honest, sometimes it feels like we’re trying to be disciples of Jesus and reach others all on our own. That’s why we started this podcast! Reach Beyond is filled with conversations from ordinary people at Christ Chapel who are watching God do extraordinary things around them as they pursue living for Jesus out loud in their interactions, conversations, and circles. Each episode highlights authentic, raw stories from everyday people who are sharing and experiencing the upside-down joy of knowing Christ. No fluff, no scripts — just real talk about what it means to reach beyond ourselves to share the hope of Christ with others. And we do it in a way where we tell the stories while God gets the glory! Stories brought to you by Christ Chapel Bible Church.
