Pick It Up: Following Jesus Beyond Sunday

Do we have a deep one for you this week! Not straying far off from sufferings, but yet the servanthood side of it! Is it hard to serve Christ when you are suffering? What about just in your everyday life? Paul says, "I am not Ashamed!" "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God..." 2 Timothy 1:8Thanks for joining in for another week'Bro. Lane, Bro. Zach, Bro. Philip, Bro. Ryan, Bro. Duke, Bro. David

We are back on trials in this episode! As a follower of Christ we should not say if we go through a fiery trial, but when we do! Just as this whole podcast is based after, Picking up Your Cross will ultimately take sacrifice and commitment! Sometimes that will lead down a trial for you to endure! We have a Savior in whom we Love and we have never seen HIM! How is that possible? We invite you to our services on Sunday to hear more on this topic! As always we thank you for joining usBro. Lane, Bro. Philip, Bro. Ryan, Bro. David

We have a special one for you this week, including a special guest Rusty Glennon! Starting off with trials again in 1 Peter and then leading into INHERITANCES.

"Slapped him with a 'Wet Squirrel' he compared it to" Thank you as always for joining in and we pray for peace over you and your families life!Bro. Lane, Bro. Philip, Bro. Ryan, Bro. David with Special Guest Rusty Glennon

In this episode of the Pick Up Podcast, we start with talking about patience and ultimately lead back into 1 Peter again with talking about sufferings! Peter teaches that suffering is not unusual for believers. Instead, it is a natural part of following Christ. "So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while." 1 Peter 1:6We thank you as always for listening in and encourage you to walk worthy in the manner according to the calling in which you were called! Bro. Lane, Bro. Zach, Bro. Philip, Bro. Ryan, Bro. David 

What is your view on suffering? Man do we have one for you today! The three Pastors come together and talk about the sufferings in which God promises us to stand strong on! We all go through different sufferings and trials, but God says in 1 Peter Chapter 3 17 "For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil." God wants us to realize that we need Him through it all! There is no one and nothing in this World that brings the Peace and Glory in which God holds! Thanks for joining us today! As the Apostle Paul says, "Grace and Peace to you"Bro. Lane, Bro. Ryan, Bro. David

Welcome back to another week's episode of The Pick It Up Podcast! This week we discuss and feed off of Bro. David's Sermon of Suppressing the Truth! What is TRUTH? Throughout our lives we live and we learn from mistakes! Sometimes though we know what the truth is, but we still deny it and therefore sin against God Himself. Ultimately we have to make a decision Follow the Truth, which Jesus Himself is, or Follow the Lie! The Lord will never lead you astray, but the world and the things within the world will! We pray that the Lord convicts and moves through this ministry as we continue to be led by Him and His Word! Bro. Lane, Bro. Zach, Bro. Ryan, Bro. David

Are you following the crowd, or following the direction? Jesus says in His Word, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life..." We step away from the topic of the Church and focus on the Conduct in which God has called us to! What is our Goal in our own walk?As we say Living a Life for Christ takes Commitment, Sacrifice and ultimately being Obedient to His Word!

Welcome to episode 8. We talk about our Heaven and Hell production and how that is going. We jump on to why we do the Lords Supper and why that is so important in following Christ. What are you doing to follow Jesus? Are you truly living for what he calls us to do and did you pick up your cross and get rid of the old you. You can't have your cake and eat it to. We are all called to follow Jesus but it's what you are doing for his kingdom that matters. Practice it, and proclaim it!Bro. Philip Roberts, Bro Lane Self, Bro, Ryan Watson, Bro. David Jacks, and Bro. Zach Craig.

What if success isn’t a scoreboard but a surrendered heart? We sit down as pastors, dads, and friends to wrestle with a question that won’t let us go: how did Sundays become negotiable—and what would it take to rebuild them around worship, renewal, and resolve? From the joy of an unscripted testimony night to the simple power of putting Bibles in students’ hands, we explore how ordinary faithfulness reshapes homes, churches, and towns.The conversation moves through Romans 12:2 and the transformation of the mind, to Zacchaeus’ holy curiosity that climbed a tree and met a Savior who called him by name. We talk about calling beyond the building, the beauty and limits of livestreams, and the irreplaceable strength of gathering face to face. We press on tender ground—youth sports, hunting seasons, and calendars that crowd out church—and ask parents to consider what their choices are teaching their kids about God, truth, and community. With Joshua 1:8 as our compass, we redefine success as meditating on and obeying God’s word, trusting him with outcomes we can’t control.We don’t shy away from the weight pastors carry—the sting of empty altars, the ache of people leaving before worship—but we frame it with hope: faithfulness is our part; fruit is God’s. Along the way, we talk self-control as a spiritual wall (Proverbs 25:28), the contagious courage of David that wakes up an army, and a simple, actionable standard for Sundays that kids can see and follow. If you’ve ever felt torn between good things and the best thing, this conversation offers clarity, conviction, and a path forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review to help more people find it. Then tell us: what’s one resolve you’re making this week?

In this episode, we welcome Park Tipton to share his testimony and dive into the meaning of radicalization. What does it look like when a life is consumed by hate, pride, and deception—and how is that different from being radically devoted to Christ? We explore the reality of spiritual warfare that shapes our daily lives. Join us as we discuss how to stay grounded in truth, put on the armor of God, and live radically for love and righteousness.Philip Roberts, Bro. Lane Self, Bro. Ryan Watson, Bro. Zach Craig, Bro. Park Tipton, and Bro. David Jacks.

David gives us his guidance on how we are to live in his word, and to go to the bible for wisdom. With a little bit of encouragement from Bro. Zach and a closing word of motivation from Bro.

"For God so LOVED the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the World to condemn the World, but that the World through Him might be Saved." John 3:16-17Our hearts are heavy this morning from the Anniversary of 9/11 to the Assassination of Charlie Kirk. In this episode we not only discuss the events, but yet proclaim God's Word in an effort to not remain silent about the TRUTH!

In this episode, we dive into James 1:2-6 with Bro. David’s reminder that trials are not just obstacles, but opportunities for growth.
