    Marriage as Covenant: Connection, Commitment, and Mutual Submission Part 2
    Jan 23 2026
    In Part 2 of this marriage conversation on Bringing Hope and Freedom, Pastor Kirk, Matt, Holly, and special guest Sabrina Carey move from theory into real life.

    This episode dives into how marriage is shaped by the examples we grow up with, the character we develop, and the intentional choices we make long before the wedding day. Through honest stories—about finances, job loss, long-distance dating, family influence, expectations, and learning to rely on each other’s strengths—the conversation shows how healthy marriages are built over time, not discovered by accident.

    You’ll hear why marriage isn’t about control or perfection, but about humility, shared vision, and submitting individual wills to God in order to form something new together. From dating wisdom for young couples to lessons learned decades into marriage, this episode offers practical insight and spiritual depth for anyone navigating relationships.

    This is a conversation about learning to choose each other—daily—and allowing God to shape your marriage into a reflection of His love.

  • Marriage as Covenant: Connection, Commitment, and Mutual Submission

    Marriage as Covenant: Connection, Commitment, and Mutual Submission
    Jan 17 2026
    Marriage isn’t falling apart because people don’t love each other — it’s falling apart because commitment, connection, and covenant are being misunderstood.

    In this episode of Bringing Hope and Freedom, Pastor Kirk, Matt, Holly, and special guest Sabrina dive into an honest, real-life conversation about marriage in today’s culture. From unmet expectations and poor communication to faith, leadership, sacrifice, and shared vision, this episode tackles what actually makes marriages strong — and why so many struggle.

    Through personal stories, biblical insight, and practical wisdom, they explore why marriage isn’t just about communication, but deep connection, mutual submission, and understanding marriage as a covenant before God. Whether you’re married, dating, engaged, or just thinking about the future, this conversation will challenge the way you view relationships and encourage you to build something that lasts.

    Dec 17 2025

    When God Seems Silent: Wrestling With Hard Questions in Habakkuk
    Dec 11 2025
    What do you do when God seems silent, evil appears to prosper, and your prayers feel unanswered? In this episode of Bringing Hope and Freedom, Pastor Kirk joins Matt and Holly to unpack the powerful and surprisingly relatable message of the book of Habakkuk.

    Together, they explore:
    ➡️ Why God sometimes appears silent
    ➡️ How free will and God’s justice explain the existence of evil
    ➡️ Why “fairness” isn’t the measure God uses
    ➡️ What it means to wait with faith, humility, and expectation
    ➡️ Why asking hard questions is not weakness—but spiritual growth
    ➡️ How God responds to a “broken and contrite heart”

    Whether you’re questioning, wrestling, or simply wanting to understand God’s justice and timing more deeply, this episode will encourage your faith and broaden your perspective.

  • Religion vs. Grace: Faith in the Healer, Not the Scale

    Religion vs. Grace: Faith in the Healer, Not the Scale
    Dec 4 2025
    In Episode 9 of Bringing Hope and Freedom, Pastor Kirk, Matt, and Holly tackle the big question: What’s the real difference between religion and true Christian faith?

    Together they unpack how religion focuses on earning God’s approval through rules and merit, while Jesus offers grace, relationship, and a new nature from the start. They explore why salvation isn’t a moving scale you hope to balance, but a finished work of Jesus, calling every believer to receive truth, walk in freedom, and trust the Healer over the fear and the doubt.

    If you’ve ever struggled feeling like you’re “not enough,” or wondered if your faith depends on perfect behavior, this episode will ground, challenge, and encourage you to rest in the One who already paid the price.

  • The Power of Fasting: Obedience, Discipline, and Drawing Closer to God

    The Power of Fasting: Obedience, Discipline, and Drawing Closer to God
    Nov 3 2025
    In this episode of Bringing Hope and Freedom, Pastor Kirk and Matt dive deep into one of the most misunderstood spiritual disciplines — fasting. What does it really mean to fast? Why do Christians fast? And does fasting always have to mean giving up food? Pastor Kirk explains the biblical foundations of fasting, from Joel 2 to Isaiah, showing how fasting is not just about denying ourselves — it’s about turning our hearts back to God, humbling ourselves, and learning obedience through discipline. Matt shares honest questions many believers wrestle with — how to fast properly, how to balance prayer and work, and what it means to live out a spiritual lifestyle of sacrifice and self-control. Together, they explore:

    Key Topics:
    • The difference between corporate and personal fasting
    • Why God desires obedience, not sacrifice
    • How fasting helps break selfishness and pride
    • Building a lifestyle of fasting and prayer
    • How leaders can model spiritual discipline without pride
    • Why fasting positions you to hear God and build character
    This practical and powerful conversation reminds us that fasting isn’t about impressing God — it’s about aligning with Him. When we fast, we silence our flesh so our spirit can truly listen.
