Epic Life Podcast

This week, Eric Knopf continues our series about trials and tribulations. The Bible tells us we will have trouble: and it also says to have joy in all things. Does this mean we are to celebrate for our trouble? No. Many Christians are confused about their biblical mandate for joy and end up shipwrecked in their faith when they face hardship and disappointment. We are called to have joy IN all circumstances, not for them. Don’t wait until you have a tragedy to figure out your theology. Listen in, now to learn the truth about trials, joy, and unshakeable hope.

“When your theology is correct, pain is not a threat to your joy or faith.” — Eric Knopf

What do you believe about God’s character? Many of us grew up receiving a general message that God is a selfish glory hog who is always keeping score, and only wants to take from you. But this could not be further from the truth. Jesus came to give you life, and lift you up.  God wants your heart, and your ability to receive, far more than he wants your stuff. This week Eric Knopf finished our Character of God series with a message about how God is love, and love is not self-seeking. His message is full of truth, wisdom, and practical ways to understand God’s love. You don’t want to miss this.

“God has bigger ideas for you then you have for you.” — Eric Knopf

When you read the Bible and listen to God’s voice, what kind of tone do you hear? Does He sound like a boss, a mean gym coach, or a loving father? We live in a culture, today, where rudeness is entertainment, and love is distorted, but the Bible says that God is not rude, and His tone is always love. This week, Eric Knopf continues our character of God series by teaching about how God is not rude, and God is not proud. Listen in to deepen your understanding of who God is, and grow closer in relationship with Him.

This week Eric Knopf continues our Character of God series by breaking down what it means that God does not boast. Many of us have falsely correlated God’s desire to be lifted up in worship, as a form of boasting; but the truth is, God sees worship as the consummation of His covenant with us. Boasting always has an anti-relationship effect, and more than anything, God desires our hearts in relationship with Him. The message is packed! Listen in to learn more about boasting, pride, glory, worship, and the true character of God.

“Pride says, forget you. Humility says, I need you.” — Eric Knopf.

Last week, Eric Knopf started off our character of God series addressing God’s patience; this week he dives into God’s kindness. We’ve all heard that God is kind, yet many of us have little understanding of what true kindness actually means. Kindness is not the same thing as niceness or manipulation, and it cannot be repaid. In tonight’s sermon, you’ll learn about the type of kindness that reaches the heart, the difference between carnal and righteous jealousy, and much, much more. Listen in to hear some truth. You don’t want to miss this message!

"Kindness becomes manipulation the moment an agenda is present." - Eric Knopf

Who you believe God to be will set the course of your entire spiritual life: and yet, the most misunderstood person in the universe is God. This week Eric Knopf embarks with us on a 5 week journey to uncover and illuminate God’s true nature and character. God. Is. Love. The better we understand the biblical attributes of love, the better we can understand God. The bible says that love is patient. But is there more to patience besides waiting? Yes! Listen in to today’s message to learn about God’s patience and infinite commitment to you.

“It’s impossible to lose patience with someone who you’re committed to for eternity.” — Eric Knopf

Do you know the earliest lie you believed about yourself when you came to the faith? Most likely, if you’re similar to most Christians,  you made a false association between your behavior and your relationship with God. A constant sense of God being disappointed in you is not only untrue, but unbiblical. If your relationship with God can be influenced by your behavior, then you have a performance-based connection with God rather than a relationship of unconditional love. This will set you up for an unnecessary roller coaster of doubt and anxiety.

Tonight, Eric Knopf unpacks the single powerful truth that might change everything about the way you relate to God. Listen in, you don’t want to miss it!

Camille speaks on the last few characters of God. God Perseveres and Never Fails. You'll be glad you listened as she is raw, fiery and downright hilarious!

Very few people in today's world believe in their heart that love always trusts. We feel it should trust, but the reality is that is simply doesn't. If God is love, and love as we know it doesn't trust, does that mean God doesn't trust? And what does it mean when people say 'God hopes'? What would God need hope in when he already knows the beginning to the end?
