What happens when a bus-aisle brainstorm turns into a microphone, a studio, and a growing community of listeners?

This week we reflect on the wild ride of the Kids and a Calling podcast crew. We discuss trip devotionals, lost recordings, nonstop laughter, honest questions, and the unexpected moments when we realized people far beyond our church were tuning in. What started as a simple idea became a space where voices were found, faith was tested, and real conversations matter.

We talk about learning to step into serious topics with simple language, serving that shapes our character, and the daily challenge of practicing what we preach. You’ll hear how feedback from college students, parents, and even grandparents sharpened our approach, why authenticity beats clichés, and how small faithful actions are real ministry when done unto God.

We also pull back the curtain on growth behind the mic: nerves, sound-check chaos, hearing your own voice for the first time, and learning that consistency can matter just as much as content.

And then… the big reveal — we’re launching our new show under the Point Church brand: Kids and a Calling. We’ll continue unpacking Sunday messages, so they stick on Monday, plus dive into upcoming topics like temptation, neutral living, wisdom from Proverbs and much more.

Our hope is simple: help you see you're not alone, failure isn’t final, and you're never too young or old to walk in purpose. If God’s nudging you toward something a little scary - just say yes. The room always changes when you do.

Subscribe to Kids and a Calling when it launches, share with a friend, leave a review, and tell us what topic you want us to tackle next. We’re building this next season with you.

What if the biggest thing slowing you down spiritually isn’t lack of passion, but the habit of saying “I’ll handle it tomorrow”? In this episode, we break down spiritual awareness in a way that actually fits real life: How small blind spots turn into big problems, how God uses process before promise, and why awareness (not hype) is what keeps you moving forward. We map Cooper’s color code onto everyday faith, talk about staying out of “condition white,” and get practical about sharing your faith without being weird, pushy, or fake. Think simple steps, honest habits, and real conversations that build momentum.

What we cover:

• Cooper’s color code and what “yellow” looks like spiritually
• Why “condition white” is dangerous even when you feel busy
• Daily habits that protect your heart and keep you steady
• Guardrails and boundaries that help you make wiser choices
• How God uses correction and process to prepare you
• Stewardship: building tomorrow by being faithful today
• How to share your faith naturally (with love, not guilt)
• Lifestyle as witness: credibility, consistency, and character
• Listening first, asking better questions

This week's challenge: Try one intentional connection. No pressure, no script. Just build a real relationship. Connection matters, and your faith flows best through trust, not force.

What if the grudge you’re holding is the very thing slowing your growth? In this episode, we take a real look at offense, why it feels justified, how it spreads, and what it steals from your calling. We talk about how offense masquerades as righteousness, and how pride makes it easy to cling to things God is trying to free us from.

From there, we shift the focus to revival, not as a hype moment or a stadium event, but as a personal fire built in the quiet places: your altar, your habits, your unity with others. We unpack how the enemy doesn’t need to take your anointing if he can hijack your attention.

Jesus’ mercy in John 8 anchors the conversation. He didn’t ignore truth, but He also didn’t weaponize it. He chose restraint instead of retaliation, and that same mercy is what keeps our hearts soft when the world tries to make everything gray. Following Jesus means alignment, not image… action, not vibes.

We close with the Micah 6:8 blueprint: do what’s right, love mercy, walk humbly. If you’ve felt drift, distraction, or the sting of offense, this episode is a roadmap back to clarity, courage, and a tender heart.

Big doors don’t move without small hinges.
This episode unpacks the daily “hinges” that decide whether your calling ever opens. We share the advice we’d give our younger selves about confidence, approval, and tuning our ears to God’s voice over the crowd’s.

From there, we face the quiet saboteurs - pride that hides as humility, distraction that dulls our purpose, and gossip that splinters unity. Through stories, Scripture, and real talk, we explore humility, stewardship, submission, and practical steps to rebuild trust when the hinges start to rust.

If you’re ready to strengthen the small things that carry big callings, this conversation gives you the language, the Scriptures, and the next steps to start today.

Follow, share, and tell us: what hinge are you working on this week?

What if the most important part of your spiritual life isn’t the spark but what happens after it fades? This week we talk mercy over judgment, why the high doesn’t last, and how faith actually deepens when feelings level out. We start with simple joys and move into the uncomfortable truth: it’s easier to spot faults in others than to guard our own heart.

We explore the “novelty cycle," the thrill, the peak, and the adaptation. We examine how boredom can trick us into thinking we’ve backslidden. Instead, stability might be the strongest sign of growth.

In this episode we discuss:
• mercy as the antidote to judgment and hypocrisy
• blessings that become stumbling blocks when desire outruns wisdom
• consistency and obedience as fuel for lasting fire
• guarding the heart from drift and deceit
• how God uses stability to grow faithfulness

If you’ve felt the drift after a spiritual high or wondered why the spark won’t stay lit, this episode offers clarity, challenge, and real hope. You’re not stuck; you’re learning to be stable.

Listen, share with someone who needs this reminder, and leave a review to help more students find the show.

Storms will come. Guaranteed. How we respond shapes everything. This week, we unpack how life’s chaos can actually redirect us instead of wreck us. From Hurricane Isaac to Jonah’s detour in the sea, we talk about seeing storms as wake-up calls instead of punishments, learning how God reroutes us for our good, and why delayed obedience just keeps us stuck longer than necessary.

We get real about influence and foundation, who’s shaping your mindset, and what you’re building your faith on. It’s not about panic when the “signs of the times” show up. It’s about preparation, wise stewardship, and putting your gifts to work. Church isn’t a show to watch; it’s a body to join.

Service becomes the heartbeat of this episode. We dive into what it means to show up. Ministry is more than a microphone; it’s the oil that keeps the engine running. It’s small acts that make big impact. Whether you’re behind a camera, holding a door, or leading a prayer, availability always matters more than ability.

Ready to build on rock, not sand? Tune in as we talk:
• storms as wake-up calls
• guarding your influences and building on Christ
• preparing instead of panicking
• using your gifts without comparison
• sowing and reaping through daily habits
• serving as belonging, humility, and growth
• small acts that make big impressions
• availability over ability in every role
• serving beyond Sunday as a lifestyle

We’ve also got a great resource to help you take your next step. Swing by the Start Here Booth in the back corner of the sanctuary or online. Fill out a quick card, get plugged into First Steps, and find out where you fit and how you can start serving now.

Hit play, share it with someone who’s been stuck in a storm, and let’s talk about how to move from surviving to serving.

Want a faith that still stands when life wobbles? This week we dig into humility, the quiet engine of real change. What starts as a light debate on instant skills and “aura” turns into an honest talk about prayer, pride, and the kind of obedience that keeps you steady when pressure hits.

We unpack the if–then of revival: if we humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face, and turn, then He heals and restores. Along the way, we get real about independence that drifts into arrogance, how “prayer changes things” only works when humility changes us, and what it means to serve in the shadows instead of chasing the spotlight.

In this episode we discuss:
• humility as the antidote to pride and the start of revival
• prayer shaped by surrender, not crisis
• repentance as a real turn, not a checkbox
• spotting pride’s quiet signs (defensiveness, comparison, gossip, ingratitude)
• the tension between independence and submission
• consistent devotion after spiritual highs
• seeking God’s story over self-built plans

If you’ve ever felt the drift after a spiritual high, or caught yourself asking God to fit your plan, this conversation’s a reset: humble, pray, seek, turn. Expect Scripture, real stories, and practical moments that point you back to alignment (God’s story first, ours second).

Please subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and tell us how humility is changing your week.

Sometimes the routines that once brought us closer to God can quietly hold us back. This week we talk about how easy it is to cling to the way things were instead of stepping into what God is doing right now. From prayer ruts to old worship styles, even the bronze serpent in the Bible, methods can change but the message stays the same.

We also get real about timing and growth. God’s “not yet” is often mercy, comparison steals peace, and holding onto yesterday’s role can blind us to today’s assignment. Want to know if you are growing? Look for deeper hunger, quicker conviction, and fruit that shows up in daily life rather than only on Sunday.

What we cover:
• Not glorifying the past or methods
• Adapting to new seasons and battlefields
• God’s timing over our expectations
• Discerning idols versus remembering testimonies
• Bearing fruit as the real sign of growth
• Moving from Sunday-only to daily practice
• Serving beyond comfort while staying rooted
• Conviction, boundaries, and self-check rhythms
