In this episode, Pastor Chris, Pastor Rylea, and Pastor Ericka preview our upcoming Lent series on Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and explore why emotional maturity and spiritual maturity cannot be separated.

We talk about the ways unexamined anger, insecurity, and repeated patterns can quietly shape our faith and why Lent offers a unique opportunity to slow down, reflect, and grow. What does it mean to stop being a “one-year Christian 22 times”? How does faith evolve over time? And what role do practices like the Prayer of Examen and a Rule of Life play in real spiritual transformation?

This conversation is an invitation to honest self-examination, deeper formation, and a season of growth together.

Join us for an special episode of The Ecclesia Podcast as we share stories and insights from our recent trip to Colombia where we met with our friends at Iglesia Cristiana Para la Frontera. Pastor Chris and Pastor Ramon sit down with HR Director Cassie O'Haver to discuss the transformative work that God is doing on the Colombia/Venezuela border through our partnership with this incredible ministry. Over a decade ago, the people of Venezuela were thrown into chaos, and the mass migration of Venezuelans created a new set of challenges for the already struggling country. But in the midst of this chaos and devastation, God was at work, providing a glimmer of hope embodied by our friends at Iglesia Cristiana Para la Frontera. Our team shares their experiences of traveling to the border, meeting the pastors and team at Iglesia, and witnessing firsthand their tireless efforts to provide food, shelter, medical care, education, and most importantly, hope for those most vulnerable at the Colombia/Venezuela border. Through this episode, you'll hear stories of resilience, faith, and community as we explore the transformative power of community and the ways this partnership makes an impact both internationally and at our home in Houston. Join us as we step boldly into God's purpose for our lives and learn how you can get involved in supporting this incredible ministry. Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired and encouraged to make a difference in the world around you.

There is nothing more human than the experience of living in a body. That comes with joy, pain, trauma, and everything in between, but those experiences are what tie us together as humanity. This week we are joined by Pastor Chris and Ericka to discuss and wrap up the current sermon series about the body and take a deeper look at what it means to be human.
