    Oct 5 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Viewpoints, Jordan and Pastor John talk about what it really means for the church to live “outside the walls.” Too often, churches (and individuals) drift toward comfort and routine, but God calls us to something greater—to step out, sacrifice, and bless others. From Abraham’s calling in Genesis 12 to the example of the early church in Acts 8, Scripture shows us that God blesses us so we can bless others.

    Join the conversation as we explore:
    - What makes a church truly healthy
    - How to avoid becoming “siloed” and inward-focused
    - Why sacrificial love transforms both individuals and communities
    - Practical ways to love your city with no hidden agenda

    We pray this encourages you to step outside your own walls and see the joy God brings when His people live on mission.
