Going Beyond

What do you do with the dream God has given you?

What is the church?It’s not a building, a staff, or a title—it’s a living body, intentionally arranged by God. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, this conversation explores the truth that God places every believer in the body of Christ according to His design, not personal preference or personality. We talk about what it really means to find your place—not by gifting alone, but through faithfulness, availability, and obedience.This episode challenges the mindset of “that’s not my role” and invites a better question:Where can I serve right now?Ministry isn’t reserved for a few—it’s the calling of every believer. As we learn to see ourselves as God sees us, we discover that we are placed on purpose, needed now, and invited to participate in what He is doing, out of love, not obligation.

It’s easy to dream about a windfall. But what happens to your faith when you don’t need anything? In this episode, we talk about childlike dependence on the Father, how trust is the “currency” of heaven, and why generosity reveals what’s truly ruling your heart. Let’s start this year anchored—trusting the Lord, not the numbers.

Care for the mind you live in. Tend to your thoughts, make the garden of your mind beautiful.

Maybe you lost your first love, Jesus... maybe some things just got in the way... maybe this is the first time in your life you felt like you have the ability to put God first and a desire to do so. Here's how... listen now!

Words are seeds. In this episode of the Going Beyond Podcast, Landon and Pastor Nate unpack how to be a doer of the Word by saying what God says—uprooting lies, closing the “holes in the bucket,” and walking in the blessing Jesus purchased for us. We look at Jacob’s wild Genesis 30 story (spotted & speckled flocks) as a picture of putting the right image and words before you, and we get super practical about taking thoughts captive and renewing the mind daily.

Jesus used this word, why don't we?

How to actually live out God's specific portion for your life... how to find it and DO it.

Yes — the Bible actually references money and possessions more often than prayer.Here’s a breakdown:Money & possessions: By some scholarly counts, money, wealth, or possessions are referenced in the Bible over 2,000 times. Jesus Himself spoke frequently on the subject—about one out of every three parables relates to money or possessions.Prayer: Prayer is mentioned a little over 500 times (depending on the translation).Money isn’t just about currency—it represents trust, dependence, priorities, and idols. That’s why passages like Matthew 6:24 say, “You cannot serve both God and money.”Prayer is central, but Jesus’ teachings show that how we handle money is often the most visible reflection of our heart and faith.So in short: the Bible does indeed mention money more than prayer. Not because money is more important than prayer, but because God knew it would be one of the biggest competitors for our devotion.Why the emphasis?

Have you ever noticed Jesus spoke to a fig tree? Why? How about Jesus talking to the weather... why did He do that? Find out today! :)

"We're talking about me! We're talking about YOU!" This is one thing that all Christians must wrestle with and bit it off as soon as we can perceive it... the only thing is: this is something that is harder to perceive than most sins, so stay tuned on how to keep your eyes and heart out for it!

Mental health struggles are extremely common and need to be talked about. Not only talked about but overcome with victory. God is calling us up and out of the pit... it is time we took our rightful place in the body of Christ with peace of mind.

"It's all about the love of the game... and..." - Chip BrimAll champions have certain aspects about them that distinguish them from those who are not champions. In our walks with Christ, what makes a champion follower of Christ? What makes you a champion of a disciple?

Life isn't just about hearing God's Word, but actually "doing them", which simply means to put into practice the teachings of Jesus.

He had a whole plan — make money, give to the church, stay out of the spotlight.He even told God, ‘Just bless this and we’ll be good.’But God doesn’t sign off on our terms.He invites us into His.And when he finally stopped negotiating… everything changed.Welcome to this episode of Going Beyond, where we talk to ministry leader John Grunewald on what it takes to follow and find God's plan for your life.

This is what the Bible says success is...

It isn't often where you read a Scripture and it says: "this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus..." but when you read that Scripture you are very aware of what God's will is for you! This episode is based on this Scripture!

This simple practice will create light in abundance in your life, family's life and the life of your friends. Why do the fathers of the faith set up memorials so often in the Old Testament? Why are we not following in their footsteps under the New Covenant?

Whatever you choose to focus on... will determine which way you go: what will you focus on, life or death?

Let's talk about how to practically apply the Word of God to your life. Enough of the confusion around spiritual warfare and how to "do the Word" as the book of James in the Bible tells us to.This is a great introduction to the podcast if you're just getting started with Going Beyond!
