In a powerful call to faithful stewardship, Pastor Greg weaves together the dramatic story of the Israelites at the Red Sea with Good Shepherd Church's current Forward Generosity initiative. Drawing from Exodus 13-14, he illuminates how God's people faced what seemed like an impossible situation – trapped between Pharaoh's army and the sea – yet witnessed God's miraculous provision. The sermon connects the congregation's history of "Red Sea moments" – from the church's founding in cornfields to expanding during the 2008 recession – with their present challenge of raising $10 million for ministry expansion.

The Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.

We’d love to meet you! Email us, check out our website, and come worship with us!

We are moving forward in faith. Join us.
