CHURCH OF POD
Clear. Christian. Community.
Where we come together to know God, the Father, by following Jesus, His Son.
Church life was easy to understand growing up in a small town in upstate New York. Then I got older. As life became more complex, the simplicity of the gospel of Christ suffered as I came to believe that the "deeper things of God" were the most important to aspire to and attain. I was wrong.
It's my hope that Church of POD will help us discover our true identities as sons and daughters of God and explore how to grow in that relationship. Part of the "good news" of the Gospel is that the Lord draws near to us and wants to become known more intimately. I find that very exciting!
We were leading a small group some years ago when a member asked a question that had been on his mind for a while: "What's the difference between the old and new testament?". To our shame, that man had been attending our church for four years. I'm grateful that he was bold enough to ask, but asking isn't always easy in the midst of God's people. It shouldn't be that way, but it often is.
- Do you believe there are things you should already understand about Jesus or your faith but are afraid to ask? Maybe you’re just getting started and it seems that everyone around you is miles ahead?
- Perhaps you're in a season that attending church is simply too difficult? Or impossible?
- Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside looking in and everyone was invited to the party except you?
If so, you're in the right place! We invite you to join us as we come together to stumble towards the Prize.

CHURCH OF POD
Your True Identity. (Episode 3)
Clear. Christian. Community.
A place where we come together to know God, the Father, by following Jesus, His Son.
This Week's Story:
“Who am I?” Now THAT’S the question of the hour, isn’t it? Personality tests like Myers Briggs, Enneagram, DISC, StrengthsFinder, High5, and Hogan are common across corporations and churches alike.
Is is all just about "me"?
This episode explores who Jesus says he is and how that will lead us to His Father.
Foundational Scripture:
Luke 9:18-20 (ESV)
18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
