VerticalNTX Podcast

On this episode of the VerticalNTX Podcast, we’re reminded of something simple—but life-changing: God doesn’t just want us to work for Him, He wants us to be with Him. In a world that pushes us to strive, perform, and rely on our own strength, this message invites us to slow down and just sit in God’s presence.You’ll hear how easy it is to do things for God without actually doing them with Him—and why that leaves us empty. But when we learn to trust, wait, and rest in Him, there’s a powerful exchange where He gives us new strength. No matter what season you’re in—the good, the hard, or the overwhelming—God is already there with you, walking through it all.Thank you for listening to the VerticalNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VerticalNTX Podcast, we continue “The Creed” series by looking at the cross in a deeper and more real way. The cross wasn’t just a symbol—it was an instrument of pain, shame, and suffering. And yet, it’s where we find our greatest hope.This message reminds us that Jesus didn’t just die for us—He suffered for us. He understands pain, betrayal, and hardship because He walked through it Himself. Because of that, we’re not alone in what we face. The same suffering that Jesus endured is what made a way for our peace, healing, and hope—even when life feels heavy.Thank you for listening to the VerticalNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VerticalNTX Podcast, we continue our “The Creed” series by looking at the name above every name—Jesus. You’ll hear how Jesus chose humility, laid down His power, and gave His life, yet was lifted to the highest place of authority.

On this episode of the VerticalNTX Podcast, we start a new series called “The Creed” by looking at words many of us have heard before—but may have forgotten how powerful they really are. This message reminds us that God is not a distant or hard-to-please Father. He is close, loving, and He delights in you. As we worship and lean into Him, God can heal the way we see Him and help us trust His heart again. We also remember that this same loving Father is also Almighty—strong enough to handle what feels too heavy, too broken, or too far gone.Thank you for listening to the VerticalNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

Dating can feel messy, but God isn’t trying to lead you into confusion. Using the relationship of Isaac and Rebekah as a picture, we learn what it looks like to start with God’s standards first, take faith seriously, and make choices that lead to peace instead of drama.

On this episode of the Vertical Community Church Podcast, we share why our church is becoming Vertical Community Church and what that new name means for our future. We talk about God “redefining” us in this season and how easy it is to let life pull our attention sideways—toward comparison, distractions, and the noise around us. This message calls us to lift our eyes, fix our focus on Jesus, and keep running the race God has set in front of us—both as individuals and as a church family.Thank you for listening to the VerticalNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

You’ll hear why God designed us for relationships, not isolation, and how spiritual community helps protect and strengthen a marriage when life gets hard. We talk about the danger of “casual Christianity” slowly taking over, and why a healthy marriage should look different when Jesus is truly leading the home.

You’ll hear how unhealthy patterns can grow when someone shuts down, avoids hard conversations, or tries to control outcomes. We look at why these dynamics slowly drain trust, peace, and connection—and how God invites us to notice what’s really going on inside of us, not just point fingers at other people. This message is a call to honest self-reflection, healthier communication, and letting the Holy Spirit reshape the way we love so our relationships can be strong, safe, and life-giving.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about the habit of solitude—making intentional, private time to be with God in the middle of a noisy, distracted life. You’ll hear why solitude isn’t the same as isolation, and how getting alone with the Lord actually strengthens your relationships instead of pulling you away from them. We walk through why this won’t happen “by accident,” how busyness can quietly become a badge of honor, and why intimacy with God grows through small, consistent moments—not just big spiritual highs. If you’ve been running on anxious striving, this message is a simple invitation to slow down, shut the door, and reconnect your heart with your Heavenly Father.Thank you for listening to the VCCNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about the habit of simplicity—choosing “enough” instead of always chasing “more.” We name the lie that more stuff, more likes, and more plans will fill us, and we offer a better way: trust God, lighten the load, and make room for what matters most. You’ll hear practical steps like clearing out your space and schedule, making a “to-don’t” list, practicing generosity, and putting Jesus first in your time, money, and attention. Think of it like sailing lighter—when you let go of what weighs you down, you move with peace and purpose.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about a habit that keeps your heart healthy: honest self-examination. We name common blind spots—constant distraction, the fake “I’m fine” smile, judging others, getting defensive, and growing cynical—and show gentle ways to face them with God. You’ll learn simple steps to slow down, put the phone away, tell the truth about how you’re doing, invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart, and ask a trusted friend to speak into your life.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about starting the year with a quieted heart. Worry loves to disguise itself as “planning,” but it only drains our joy; trust restores it. You’ll hear simple ways to move from anxiety to peace—pausing to hand your concerns to God, choosing small acts of goodness while outcomes are unclear, and realigning your thoughts when fear gets loud. We end with two honest questions to help you reset for the new year: What worries from last year am I still carrying—and where did I stop trusting? If your mind has been racing, this message will help you slow down, trust, and live from a steadier place.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about waiting—why it feels slow and what God is doing while we wait. You’ll hear how God moves at just the right time, even when we can’t see it yet, and how His timing brings real freedom and hope. We get practical too: keep trusting, keep doing good, and keep your heart open while God prepares what’s next.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about how the Holy Spirit becomes our guide to all truth. Because of Jesus, God’s presence doesn’t live in a building—it lives in us. The Holy Spirit helps us understand the good news about Jesus, opens our hearts to believe, and gives us power to live God’s way. We’ll look at what changed when Jesus died and rose, how the Spirit uses preaching and personal stories to reveal the gospel, and simple steps to listen, obey, and walk with Him every day.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we learn how to live with the Holy Spirit each day.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we ask: Who is the Holy Spirit? We explain the Trinity in simple terms—one God, three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not three gods, and not one person pretending to be three. Each is fully God. The Holy Spirit is God with us today. He guides, comforts, teaches, and gives us power to follow Jesus. We clear up common mix-ups and share why knowing the Spirit matters for everyday life.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we learn how to get free from the trap of offense by choosing real forgiveness. Jesus’ story shows a king who cancels a huge debt, but the forgiven man won’t forgive a small one—reminding us that God has forgiven us more than we could ever repay. Holding a grudge is like putting ourselves in prison; forgiving from the heart is how we walk out. Sometimes forgiveness is a daily choice—name the hurt, ask God for help, and keep choosing to forgive. We ask two simple questions: Who is God in this story? Who am I? The answer points us back to grace and a fresh start.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about how ignoring hurt can trap us. The battle is God’s, not ours—over our kids, our spouse, and the culture. When we get offended and hide in a “cave,” we feel alone and make the problem bigger in our minds. We aren’t the only ones struggling, and community can help pull us out. Instead of stuffing pain, we name it, bring it to God, and listen for His voice over all the noise. Step out of isolation, connect with others, and let God fight for you.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about the pull to “get even” and why it never brings peace. Wanting justice is good—it reflects God’s heart. But when we take payback into our own hands, hurt only grows. Revenge multiplies pain; forgiveness breaks the cycle. We’ll learn to bring our anger to God, pray for true justice, choose mercy, and let Him be the perfect judge. Trade bitterness for freedom and live unshaken.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

DON’T TAKE THE BAIT - 1 | “The Trap of Being Offended”On this episode of the VineyardNTX Podcast, we talk about how easy it is to “take the bait” and get offended—on the road, online, or at home. Offense is a hidden trap the enemy uses to steal our joy and lock our hearts in anger. We can’t avoid hurtful moments, but we can choose our response. Learn why offense is so dangerous, how it keeps us stuck, and simple ways to live free—pause, invite Jesus into the moment, forgive quickly, and keep your heart soft.

On this episode of the VineyardNTX Podcast, we talk about what “relevant” really means for our church. It doesn’t mean acting like the world or accepting everything culture says. It means sharing Jesus in clear, simple ways people can understand. We drop confusing “churchy” habits, use language everyone gets, and keep the main thing the main thing—helping people meet and follow Jesus. Come see how a welcoming, easy-to-understand church family can still be full of truth and the Holy Spirit.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VineyardNTX Podcast, we talk about what it means to have a faith that doesn’t just comfort us but also challenges us. God welcomes us with mercy, but He also calls us to grow and take the next step in our walk with Him. Faith isn’t meant to leave us where we are—it’s meant to transform our lives, our families, and our communities. Sometimes that means facing truth, pushing past lies, and trusting God’s Spirit to guide us forward.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about what it means to be a church marked by mercy. At Vineyard, we want to be the kind of community where people can come in with their struggles, questions, and even disagreements, and still find love and grace. Mercy means giving each other space to work things out, instead of judging or pushing away.We also share a story from youth group where students were given room to be real and honest with one another. Even though they didn’t all agree, they listened, prayed, and cared for each other. That’s the kind of church family we want to be—united, not uniform, and full of God’s mercy.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: https://www.vccntx.org/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we talk about why serving matters in the life of a church family. Serving pulls us out of a “me first” mindset and reminds us that God designed us to honor others above ourselves.When we use our gifts, the love and grace of God are revealed in ways no one else can bring. A serving church is a strong church—one where people grow closer to each other and to Jesus. And along the way, serving isn’t just meaningful, it’s joyful.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: vccntx.churchcenter.com/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we look at why small groups matter. God designed us for relationships, not isolation. From prayer to learning, laughing to growing, real community happens when we share life together.Even Jesus chose to walk closely with a small group of friends. His example shows us that deep, committed relationships are not optional—they’re essential. Small groups give us the space to love, support, and strengthen each other as we follow Him.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: vccntx.churchcenter.com/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we ask the question: What makes a healthy church family? A real community is more than just meeting on Sundays—it’s where we carry each other, protect each other, and build each other up.From breaking free of isolation, to refusing gossip, to treating others with dignity, this message gives us simple, practical steps to live out faith together.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we look at Jesus’ words to the church in Laodicea. They were wealthy, successful, and confident in themselves—yet their faith had grown lukewarm. Just like the muddy water that flowed into their city, they were no longer refreshing or useful for God’s purposes.This message reminds us how easy it is to trust in comfort, money, or self-sufficiency instead of Jesus. True faith isn’t half-hearted or indifferent—it’s a life fully alive in Him. The call is to wake up, let go of pride, and let Jesus renew our passion for His Kingdom.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: vccntx.churchcenter.com/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we explore the warning Jesus gave to the church in Sardis. From the outside, they looked alive—busy, active, and respected. But inside, they were spiritually asleep. Jesus calls His people not just to appear healthy, but to truly live with His Spirit breathing through them.This message reminds us that it’s not enough to look good on the surface. A church—or a person—can have all the right appearances and still be empty without Christ at the center. The challenge is to honestly look in the mirror, receive God’s loving correction, and come back to life in Him.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: vccntx.churchcenter.com/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we look at what Jesus says to the churches in Pergamum and Thyatira. These churches remind us that while Jesus loves us even in our weakness, we can’t let sin or false teaching take root in our lives. In Thyatira, believers struggled with a false prophet—what Jesus calls a “Jezebel”—who claimed God’s authority but led people away from Him. We talk about what it really means to take the Lord’s name in vain, how easy it is to fall for teaching that looks good on the surface, and why staying rooted in God’s truth matters more than ever.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: vccntx.churchcenter.com/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we examine the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia and the lessons they continue to teach us today. The church in Smyrna faced poverty, persecution, and hardship, but Jesus encouraged them to stay faithful even while suffering. We’re reminded that comfort isn’t the goal of the Christian life, and that this world is not our true home.When we follow Jesus, there will be challenges, but He sees our struggles, knows our pain, and calls us rich in His kingdom. Just like Smyrna was rebuilt after destruction, God can rebuild and strengthen our faith through trials.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: vccntx.churchcenter.com/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we ask the question: How can we live strong, even when life gets tough?We talk about how healing and breakthrough in our own lives can help others too. But to get there, we have to spend real time with God—just like a sponge needs time to soak up water. It’s not about being perfect or hiding in shame. God already knows we’re not perfect, and He loves us anyway.Instead of running away from Him, we learn how to invite the Holy Spirit into every part of our lives—even the messy parts. When we do that, we find freedom, strength, and peace that can overflow to the people around us.Thank you for listening to the VineyardNTX Podcast!🌐 WEBSITE: https://www.vccntx.org/🗓 EVENTS: https://www.vccntx.org/gallery🎁 GIVE: vccntx.churchcenter.com/giving📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vccntx/📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vccntx/?hl=en.

On this episode of the VCCNTX Podcast, we look at how people often deal with pain in unhealthy ways—by staying busy, ignoring it, or pretending everything’s fine. But God doesn’t want us to hide our hurt. He invites us to slow down, name what’s really going on, and let Him be part of our healing.
