In this episode of The Sharing Grace Podcast, we explore the powerful truth that those who belong to Christ are sealed with the Holy Spirit. We unpack what that seal represents: ownership, authenticity, security, and authority, and how the Holy Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance in Christ. Discover how this truth can move us from simply trying to earn salvation to confidently living in the freedom, hope, and purpose we already have in Jesus.

In this episode of The Sharing Grace Podcast, Brandon Rieb, Cris O’Brien, and Jay Austin continue the Empowered: Life With The Holy Spirit series and explore why the Holy Spirit is essential to the life of every believer. Together, they discuss freedom from condemnation, the difference between striving in our own strength and surrendering to the Spirit, and how the Holy Spirit brings real transformation, life, and peace.

In this special edition of The Sharing Grace Podcast, Carrie Thompson, Director of Impact Ministry, sits down with Pat Mortensen, President of World Wide Village, to talk about Haiti, ministry, and the hope God is bringing in the midst of incredible hardship. Pat shares what World Wide Village is seeing on the ground, how the current situation has impacted ministry, and where they are seeing God move. Together, Carrie and Pat explore what it means to be a healthy global partner and how we can come alongside what God is already doing rather than simply trying to “fix” Haiti. Most importantly, this conversation offers a glimpse of the Haiti beyond the headlines and reminds us how we can pray, partner, and look for God’s work in the midst of difficult circumstances.

Stop conforming to worldly patterns. Embrace transformation through a renewed mind, guided by the Holy Spirit. Discover God's will and purpose for your life.

This week on The Sharing Grace Podcast, we’re on location in Jacksonville, FL, at a leadership summit hosted at Eleven22 Church.

Drawing from John 14:26–27, the conversation explores the promises of Jesus and what it means to rely on the presence, guidance, and peace of the Holy Spirit. Tune in for this special on-location episode of The Sharing Grace Podcast!

Pastor Mark breaks down the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians, empowering and directing us into obedience for the glory of Jesus Christ.

We Need Him: Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread What does it look like to truly admit that we need God? In this episode of The Sharing Grace Podcast, we continue our conversation around the Lord’s Prayer and the simple but powerful request, “Give us this day our daily bread.” From Israel’s daily provision of manna in the wilderness to Jesus’ declaration, “I am the bread of life,” we explore what God teaches us through our need and how we can learn to trust Him one day at a time. When we feel empty, worried, or overwhelmed, we are invited to remember that Jesus is exactly what our souls need.

Discover the power of daily prayer for receiving God's provision. Cultivate unwavering trust in His faithfulness, even when circumstances are uncertain. Embrace peace through faith. #DailyPrayer #Faith #GodsProvision #TrustInGod #SpiritualGrowth

Why We’re Praying: Living Like Kingdom Citizens What happens when a church makes prayer a priority? In this episode of the Sharing Grace Podcast, Pastors Mark, Brandon, and Jay explore what it means to seek God’s Kingdom, surrender our plans to His, and live differently from the world around us. Discover how confidence, reverence, and submission reshape the way we pray and live as Kingdom citizens.

Praying “Your Kingdom come” means surrendering our agenda and inviting heaven’s priorities into our everyday life. Core Truth: Prayer is not about moving God to our will; it’s about God moving us to His. #prayer #church

In the first week of Pray Like Heaven, we explore what it means to pray like family. Jesus didn’t teach us to pray for performance or recognition, but to know and communicate with our Father relationally. Discover how prayer shapes our relationship with God, aligns our hearts with His will, and helps us bring a little more of heaven into our everyday lives. We’ll also introduce the 21-Day Prayer Guide and Week of Prayer as we begin this journey together.

Prayer begins with who we’re talking to—our loving Father who is near and holy. Core Truth:  The power of prayer is found in intimacy, not performance.

What happens when ordinary people choose to follow Jesus together? In this episode of The Sharing Grace Podcast, Pastor Brandon Rieb sits down with Pastor Jay Austin, Caden Sichler, and Lori Klump to explore the power of Christian community through the story of Daniel and his friends. From prayer and perseverance to standing firm when God’s answer is uncertain, discover why we were never meant to follow Jesus alone and how authentic community can strengthen our faith.

What happens when God places us in rooms filled with people who have little or no understanding of who Jesus is? In Acts 17, Paul finds himself in three very different cities, but Athens presents a unique challenge: a culture full of spiritual seekers, intellectuals, and people searching for something they cannot name. Join Jay Austin, Jonmark Ragsdale, and Wendell Mathis as they explore how God purposely positions us to reach people right where they are, point them toward the truth of Jesus, and invite them to respond.

Wendell preaches in Acts 17, about how the times of ignorance are over, that we must worship Jesus. Repentance and good works are essential to the life of the christian, as Paul spoke to the people of Athens in the scripture.
