SPARK the Podcast

On this episode of SPARK the Podcast, Jana Klosowsky shares more about God’s plan for community and connection in our lives. God uses other people to encourage us, speak to us and refresh each other! The importance of intentionally seeking community with other Christians is HUGE. The people we choose to do life with, that inner circle, those people you can be vulnerable with, pray with and for, encourage each other - those people are who we go to when things get hard and we can trust with our stuff.

When we live in communities, life is just a little sweeter. It’s not perfect or without hardships, but practicing life like this within our communities of faith is part of how we become more like Christ. 

Galatians 5:6 - “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”  

Today on SPARK the Podcast we are going to be talking all about the hope the resurrection gives us!  We just finished celebrating Easter and the good news that death could not hold our Lord.  After being put to death on the cross, Jesus rose on the third day, defeating death and sacrificing himself for our sins so that we can have relationship with Him!  Let's dive into the hope the resurrection brings to our lives, and how this truly changes everything.

We’re back for another Coffee Talk on SPARK the Podcast with Jenna + Mekina. This time we’ll be discussing who influences us, Jonah + the whale, and God working in us verses through us. We’re also excited to share some quiet time techniques and a little Christian music that has really moved us over the years. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Today on SPARK the Podcast, we are talking about big life intersections and following God's direction with Rebecca Haymes!  Becca shares, "Recognizing these big intersections- whether in the moment or in hindsight - gives me such an appreciation for how great and vast and good God is. If we pay attention it also shows how intimately He cares for us and pursues us. Matthew 10 tells us God knows how many hairs we have on our head. Psalm 139 says God knows when we sit and when we rise, and that it’s God who created our innermost being.  Psalm 44 says God knows our hearts. It’s one thing to read about God’s attention and affection for us, but it’s another thing altogether to experience & recognize it in our lives. Recognition is key. Because we can experience His goodness and be too enthralled with the gift and miss the Gift-Giver. So when I experience His goodness, and recognize it, my appreciation for Him & His ways/plans/purpose grows, and consequently my trust for Him does too. 

Becca has been married to her husband, Christopher for over 12 years and they have a daughter Elena and a son, Grant. She is a wife, mom, photographer and recently just got her doula certification. Thank you for joining us Becca! We’re so excited to have you on the Podcast today!
