    <title>Sunday Forward Podcast: Bringing the Gospel into Everyday Life</title>
    <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/channels/25618</link>
    <description>The Sunday Forward Podcast is about bringing the gospel into everyday life. 

Each week, we take conversations beyond Sunday by exploring how the truth of Jesus shapes the way we think, work, lead, rest, raise families, and follow God in the ordinary moments of life. We’ll also engage cultural conversations and current events, considering how Christians can respond with wisdom, conviction, and grace. 

Join pastors and leaders from Jubilee Church for thoughtful, practical conversations about living out the gospel every day.</description>

      <title>Knowledge Is Everywhere. Wisdom Is Rare.</title>
      <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/episodes/626367</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>After discussing the exciting week ahead at Confluence Leadership Conference and reflecting on ministry partnerships in Mexico, the conversation turns toward something deeper: the kind of wisdom our generation desperately needs. We live in a moment where access to information is endless, yet biblical wisdom often feels scarce.</p>

<p>What does it actually mean when Proverbs tells us to “get wisdom”? How do we pursue it? We talk through the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the role surrender plays in shaping mature disciples, and why submission isn’t weakness but participation in the life of God and His church. From Scripture to social media, we explore how our sources of influence form us and how reordering them may be one of the most important spiritual decisions we make.</p>]]>

      <title>Creating a Healthy Family Culture</title>
      <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/episodes/630705</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Jubilee Church Podcast, Bryan Mowrey is joined by special guests Willy and Sofi Verduzco from Origen Church in Guadalajara, Mexico, one of the catalytic churches in the Confluence family. They begin with an honest update on the current situation in Guadalajara and the realities of ministering in a region affected by cartel activity, sharing how the gospel continues to move forward even in challenging circumstances.</p>

<p>The conversation then turns to technology. As leaders who have built a large online following while reaching people far beyond their city, Willy and Sofi talk about how they’ve learned to use digital tools intentionally without allowing them to dominate their lives, especially as we enter a season of digital fasting as a church.</p>

<p>Bryan also explores how they cultivate a healthy culture in their home. Willy and Sofi share practical insight into building a strong marriage, raising children with purpose, and shaping a family culture centered on Jesus while leading a growing church.</p>

<p>They close by reflecting on what excites them most about the future of the Confluence family of churches and where they see God leading us in the years ahead, especially the growing opportunity to reach and develop Spanish-speaking leaders and churches throughout the world.</p>

<p>It’s a conversation full of wisdom, faith, and vision for what God is doing across nations.</p>]]>

      <title>10 Objections to the Resurrection… and Why They Don’t Hold Up</title>
      <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/episodes/643228</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>As Holy Week begins, Bryan and Jordan reflect on what this season means and why it still matters by looking ahead to Good Friday and Easter while inviting us to keep Jesus at the center. They also share updates on upcoming worship moments and the Good Men Conference, including a new resource for young men.</p>

<p>The conversation then turns to truth in a culture full of distortion. They unpack how ideas like individualism, prosperity, and cultural narratives can reshape the gospel, and respond to popular claims about Jesus, sexuality, abortion, and even the nature of God. With Scripture often quoted but redefined, they highlight why clarity around truth is more important than ever.</p>

<p>To anchor it all, they walk through common objections to the resurrection and make a compelling case for its historical credibility. Because if Jesus truly rose from the dead, it changes everything... not just during Holy Week, but for all of life.</p>]]>

      <title>Faith, Truth, and Cultural Confusion: Getting the Bible Right Again</title>
      <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/episodes/648144</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we briefly reflect on Easter and the reality that doubt has always surrounded the resurrection, just as it did for people like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea.</p>

<p>The core of the conversation centers on how truth is being handled today. We unpack the difference between misusing Scripture and distorting it, and why that distinction matters. Looking at real cultural examples, we talk about how the Bible is often used to support ideas it was never meant to, and what it looks like to interpret it faithfully.</p>

<p>We also explore the tension of boldness and wisdom in young believers and the importance of real discipleship. Passion without formation can lead to unnecessary harm, even when the intent is right.</p>

<p>Finally, we address a deeper issue many men are facing today. Without affirmation and direction, men often withdraw or react in unhealthy ways. What does it look like to call men up and form them with truth and purpose?</p>

<p>This episode is a call to hold firmly to truth while intentionally developing people to live it out well.</p>]]>

      <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/episodes/651948</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we reflect on a powerful celebration of life and the impact of a faith that endures beyond death, along with a few cultural moments shaping the conversation right now.</p>

<p>The heart of this episode centers on a simple challenge. Most believers have a story, but many struggle to share it. We unpack how boldness flows from nearness to Jesus, not pressure or performance. Through practical tools like BLESS and real life examples, we talk about what it looks like to share your faith in everyday spaces.</p>

<p>Finally, we address a deeper cultural lie about happiness and purpose. What if fulfillment is not found in creating your own path, but in living for something greater and helping others thrive?</p>

<p>This episode is a call to live boldly and trust that your story matters.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Jubilee Church Podcast, we explore why following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. From our connection with the Confluence family of churches to the heart behind shared mission and church planting, we talk about the power of spiritual family and doing ministry together.</p>

<p>We also dive into the importance of brotherhood in a culture that pushes isolation and why real growth requires vulnerability, accountability, and intentional relationships.

        <![CDATA[<p>What does it actually mean to be a man and why do so many men feel unsure of their identity? In this episode, we unpack the role model crisis shaping a generation, and why biblical manhood isn’t formed in isolation.

      <title>Biblical Leadership: Ambition, Authority, and Service</title>
      <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/episodes/682491</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Leadership is one of God's primary ways of serving and strengthening His people, yet many Christians have complicated experiences with it. In this episode, we explore why aspiring to leadership can be a good and godly desire, the difference between gospel-centered ambition and selfish ambition, and how our motives shape the way we lead. We also discuss the lasting effects of leadership abuse, what distinguishes strong leadership from weak leadership, and how healthy leaders create environments where people can flourish. Finally, we examine the Bible's teaching on male and female leadership roles within the church and why these distinctions matter for the health and mission of God's people. </p>

<p>Whether you're currently leading, considering leadership, or recovering from poor leadership experiences, this conversation offers a biblical framework for understanding authority, responsibility, and service in the church.</p>]]>

In this episode, we explore why aspiring to leadership can be a good and godly desire, the difference between gospel-centered ambition and selfish ambition, and how our motives shape the way we lead. We also discuss the lasting effects of leadership abuse, what distinguishes strong leadership from weak leadership, and how healthy leaders create environments where people can flourish. Finally, we examine the Bible's teaching on male and female leadership roles within the church and why these distinctions matter for the health and mission of God's people. </p>

<p>Whether you're currently leading, considering leadership, or recovering from poor leadership experiences, this conversation offers a biblical framework for understanding authority, responsibility, and service in the church.</p>]]>

      <title>How Should Christians Respond to Pride Month?</title>
      <link>https://jubileestl.churchcenter.com/episodes/686009</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Every June, Christians are faced with questions about Pride Month, sexuality, identity, and how to faithfully engage a culture with deeply different beliefs. In this episode, we explore how followers of Jesus can respond with both conviction and compassion. We discuss why conversations around LGBTQ identity often feel so personal, how modern ideas of empathy have reshaped the discussion, and what it means to genuinely love people without affirming every belief or behavior.</p>

<p>Looking to the example of Jesus and the teaching of Scripture, we examine how Christians can meet people where they are while also challenging ideas that stand opposed to the gospel. We also address some of the most common questions and objections surrounding this topic, including whether the Bible speaks about homosexuality, why sexual ethics matter, questions of nature versus choice, and the claim that “love is love.” Our hope is to help believers navigate Pride Month with truth, grace, wisdom, and a heart that reflects Christ.</p>]]>
