The Well - Abundant Life Church

How do we let God reset the dislocated parts of our lives — and what happens when we don't? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman dive into Nehemiah 8 to explore internal dislocation and the joy of restoration. Pastor Chad shares how preaching and biblical community work together to reveal and heal our "dislocations," and why responding to Scripture with awe and obedience matters more than surface-level application. This episode challenges believers to recognize the dislocated places in their own lives and lean into Scripture and biblical community for healing.   📌 Episode Mentions: Discipleship at Abundant Life: https://abundant-life.com/get-involved/whats-next/next-steps/discipleship-groups/ What Does the Bible Say About Discipleship? https://abundant-life.com/blog/what-does-the-bible-say-about-discipleship/ 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/BkHnLbNtIRQ Reset: The Power of Prayer & Fasting Sermon Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2iwadl3_KW9vmqDaBJmPCW8   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels  Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

If God is sovereign and already in control of everything, why bother to pray? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman explore the difference between God's foreknowledge and predestination, using the examples of Hezekiah and Nehemiah to show why prayer remains powerful and necessary. You'll see how personal decisions can genuinely change outcomes, and how revival begins with personal repentance rather than blaming outside circumstances. This episode will challenge you to align your heart with God's plan and pursue a deeper prayer life. Take a real step toward revival, praying with the same confidence Nehemiah did.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Nehemiah 1, Nehemiah 2, Ephesians 2:8–10, 2 Chronicles 20, James 4:2, Hebrews 1, Esther, Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 30, Genesis 17:7–8, James 3:1 Identity in Christ Devotional: https://abundant-life.com/resources 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/CmeY5kmgSec Reset: The Power of Prayer & Fasting Sermon Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2iwadl3_KW9vmqDaBJmPCW8   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/  More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

When your faith feels like it’s cracking, what do you do with your questions? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark talk honestly about faith deconstruction, Christian doubt, spiritual questions, and church hurt. They explore why so many young adults are walking away from church, how events like 9/11 and COVID-19 have intensified faith crises, and why simply suppressing doubt doesn’t work.  They invite you to bring your hardest questions to God and His word. Drawing from Galatians, they explain how we sometimes need to “lose faith” in legalism and deconstruct what is false so we can rebuild a real, experiential faith in Christ. You’ll hear practical tools for processing doubt in community and developing a more honest walk with Jesus.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Mark 9:23-25 From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=h3whLV18V0bT3ZDM The Reason for God by Tim Keller: https://timothykeller.com/books/the-reason-for-god How Does Jesus Respond to Someone Who Is Deconstructing Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/GVsRp-7zM6Q?si=xLMmZtkzxBi36qKg 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/cukkkBNarC0?si=7TLlJbY7Q_rRpwAy Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

How do motives and mindset shape generosity? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman dive into the meaning of the Parable of the Talents and how it applies to believers today.  When Jesus spoke about "talent" in the parable, He was referring to a large sum of money, not just a natural ability. Everyone has a different measure of resources and opportunities, but what matters most is faithfulness with what God has given, not how much you have. Spiritual maturity is reflected in how we think about and steward our finances, time, and abilities for God’s glory. Ultimately, Pastor Phil reminds us not to compare ourselves to others, but to focus on being faithful with what we have. The mindset behind our giving—the motive and the heart—matters as much as the act itself.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Matthew 25, Proverbs 3, John 12:24 Abundant Life Residency: https://abundant-life.com/who-we-are/residency/ “What is the Bema Seat of Christ?” blog: https://abundant-life.com/blog/what-is-the-bema-seat-of-christ/ 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/5It0uE8uHwk The Exchange Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2gSplpvbxGAO8iO8hsDotUx&si=ZIUTJxUUdW0G0dMe Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

 What does it mean to pursue worship as a lifestyle, rather than just songs we sing? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Shawn Struckmeier joins host Les Norman and Pastor Phil Hopper for an honest conversation about the heart of worship and what worship looks like as a lifestyle.  Worship is a lifestyle, not an event.
