    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.

  • Marriage as Covenant: Connection, Commitment, and Mutual Submission Part 2

    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.

  • The Freedom Found in Forgiving

    The Freedom Found in Forgiving
    Dec 17 2025

In this episode of Bringing Hope and Freedom, Pastor Kirk, Matt, and Holly talk honestly about how hard forgiveness really is—and why Jesus still calls us to it.

Whether you’re dealing with family tension, old wounds, or the question “Do I really have to forgive?”, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a path forward.
