  • Are We Too Busy for God? Rediscovering the Sabbath

    Are We Too Busy for God? Rediscovering the Sabbath
    Mar 7 2026
    In today’s culture, being busy is worn like a badge of honor.
    But what if constant productivity isn’t God’s design for our lives? In this episode of Bringing Hope and Freedom, Pastor Kirk, Matt, and Holly discuss the biblical meaning of the Sabbath and why rest is essential for our spiritual, emotional, and physical health. We explore: • Why God rested after creation
    • How modern culture glorifies exhaustion
    • Why many Christians have forgotten the Sabbath
    • How rest protects us from burnout and anxiety
    • The danger of constant distraction and media overload
    • Practical ways to build true rest into your life The Sabbath isn’t just about taking a day off—it’s about reconnecting with God, your family, and the life He designed for you. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or spiritually drained, this conversation will help you rediscover the power of biblical rest. 📩 Prayer requests or questions: info@alm.tv

  • How to Keep Unity: Humility, Meekness, Patience & Long-Suffering

    How to Keep Unity: Humility, Meekness, Patience & Long-Suffering
    Feb 13 2026
    In this episode of Hope & Freedom, we unpack Ephesians 4:1–6 and talk about what it takes to maintain unity in a world that feels connected—but still fragmented. We walk through four non-negotiables that protect relationships and strengthen spiritual life:
    -Humility (choosing to lower yourself)
    -Meekness (strength under control)
    -Patience (not being “ready to be offended”)
    -Long-suffering (learning to suffer well with others)
    We also talk discipleship, trust, real friendship vs. social media “connection,” and why God’s way actually works in real life. If you need hope, direction, or a reset in your relationships—this one’s for you. Prayer request? Message us — we’d love to pray with you.
