Powerful Prayers | S9E7 Beyond The Weekend Podcast

In the final episode of our Powerful Prayers series, Amelia Rhodes and Stephen Lewis sit down with Pastor Aaron to unpack Paul's prayer for the church in Colossae. Together, they explore the history of this small but significant city, the cultural pressures facing the early church, and Paul's desire for believers to grow in a deep, experiential knowledge of God. The conversation highlights what it means to keep God's Word central in everyday life, why true Christian strength comes from God's power rather than our own, and how enduring faith is formed through daily dependence on Christ (with some bonus Summer tips!). As the series concludes, listeners are encouraged to continue growing in prayer, trusting that God uses ordinary prayers to transform our hearts, strengthen his people, and advance the gospel in our families, friendships, and communities.

Powerful Prayers | Insightful Love
In this episode of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Amelia Rhodes and Stephen Lewis sit down with Pastor Jeff Manion to explore Paul’s prayer for the church in Philippians 1 and what it means for love to overflow in a community of imperfect people. Together, they unpack the real conflict behind Paul’s letter to the Philippians, why observable love is meant to be the defining mark of the Jesus community, and how prayer—not simply trying harder—shapes us into people who love like Christ. The conversation offers practical ways to pray Scripture, encourages listeners to pray for others in everyday moments, and reminds us that the gospel empowers broken people to love broken people. Whether you're navigating conflict, longing for deeper community, or looking for simple ways to grow in prayer, this episode points back to the love of Jesus, who went first and makes this kind of love possible.

Powerful Prayers | Solomon's Prayer
In this episode of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Stephen Lewis and Amelia Rhodes are joined by Aaron Buer to explore Solomon’s prayer dedicating the temple in 1 Kings 8. Together, they unpack the historical and archaeological evidence surrounding Solomon’s temple, the covenant promises that led to its construction, and the surprising truth that no building could ever contain the presence of God. The conversation traces how God’s promise to David ultimately points to Jesus, examines what it means for believers to be God’s dwelling place today, and highlights the temple’s purpose as a witness to the nations. Along the way, they discuss the power of worship, confession, and supplication in prayer, reminding listeners that prayer begins by reorienting our hearts toward a God whose disposition to us is grace, forgiveness, and love.

You Asked For It Vol 2 | Is Jesus The Only Way to Heaven?
In Season 8 Episode 4 of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Sam Schubkegel, East Paris Men's Small Groups Director and Director of Young Adult Ministry, and Bella Vista Campus Pastor Brad Holmes sit down with guest pastor John Dickson to tackle some of the biggest questions about faith. Topics ranged from the historical evidence for the Bible's reliability to how we can be sure of our salvation. We also explored how Christians can share their faith with people of other religions and with non-believing friends and family without it feeling forced or awkward. We wrapped up by asking John what one step listeners can take this week if they've been waiting for every answer before moving forward, or avoiding the one step that really matters. Thrown in are some fun personal questions about John—if you've been waiting for kangaroo content or have had a hunch that our favorite Australian can sing, this is the episode for you.
