Full Life Conversations

We sit down with Lead Pastor Tommy Gray again as we start a new series, How To Live A Full Life. We begin this series talking about prosperous living, a concept that has had a history of misinterpretation, especially from the pulpit. We dive deep into more of what the writer of Proverbs, King Solomon truly meant by living a prosperous life. We also get into some "real life" as well as what it looks like to not be the "home team" when it comes to Kingdom life on earth.

Where is joy? What does joy look like? And how is joy lived out in the midst of tragedy, deep pain, and disappointment? We sit down with Tommy Gray and take a look at the resurrection, this time with a focus on Simon Peter, who thought all hope was lost, convinced he would be defined by his worst moment, denying he knew Jesus three times in the courtyard. Joy is a man running toward his second chance.

Happy Easter and welcome to the Full Life Conversations podcast! Hear a quick word from Nathan to welcome everyone in, especially any first-time listeners after our Easter services, and hear a couple of clips of Garrett and Crissa from upcoming episodes.

What's the difference between being saved and becoming a disciple? The cost. We sit down with guests and Asbury Residents Rochelle "RoRo" Rohweder and Austin Miller to talk about the long game, their experience going on mission in Costa Rica and what it means when Jesus says "put a hand to the plow."

Prayer is something God meant for us to do all the time. But what does that even look like? How do we truly live that out every day? We're joined by Tommy Gray once again to talk about being consistent in prayer and what that could mean for our lives and those around us.

Are you available? We sit down with special guest, Davis Wenzler to talk about staying connected and how much that requires our availability to God and others, which leads to awakening.

Nathan, Crissa, Garrett and Tommy are back to dive into the parable of the good Samaritan and talk about what it means to have compassion.

Nathan, Crissa, Garrett, and return guest, Tommy Gray talk about staying calm, the first of a series of conversations during the season of Lent about living a life of surrender.

“How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes." We conclude the Road of Awakening teaching series with Jesus weeping over Jerusalem after His triumphal entry. There's nothing like leaning into community to process something as heavy as this passage, sensing the gravity of our propensity to miss Jesus, but also grasping the hope of God's incredible and deep love for us and the power of the Holy Spirit to move us into an awakened life. 

Why does a donkey get so much "air time"? Crissa, Garrett, and Nathan look at the significance of the donkey in Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

Nathan and Crissa sit down with Seedbed author and New Room Conference Executive Director, Dr. David Thomas, as he shares his heart for prayer and his journey on the Road of Awakening.

This is a brief introduction to the Full Life Conversations podcast where we talk about real life with each other, full life with God, and Kingdom life on mission. Producer and host of the podcast, Nathan Venegas shares some "real life" as well as some of the story and the "why" behind the podcast. Asbury Church Pastor of Missions, Crissa Letson and Director of College Ministry and Teaching Pastor, Garrett Howell also talk about awakening, which is the theme of the first seven full episodes, based on the teaching series, The Road of Awakening, written by Garret and Crissa.
