The result of this understanding will be a worthy, fruitful, and pleasing walk before the Lord. In other words: theology is important! Join us as we discuss the right pursuit of this knowledge: with commitment to God and His Word, in love and unity. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1641/secrettoaworthpleasingwalk.mp3 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 00:00:00 CDT Patrick Nurre d The Lord has not left us in a scientific vacuum when it comes to understanding what His word says about the world we now live in. He has blessed us with abundant evidence and proofs that we might be able to stand on every word that He has spoken, including the amazing account of the Genesis Flood. Come and be blessed out of your socks! http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1577/afloodofblessings.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Bob Bartlett d Like each minute, money was meant to be spent wisely, used wisely and invested wisely to make our blows count for God and to glorify Him. The essence of a person's life is to glorify God. My prayer is that this seminar will set you free to live the financial life God intended, and in so doing, glorify Him as well. Malachi 3:12. "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land, says the LORD Almighty." God blesses His people not for their enjoyment but for His glory and His testimony. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1576/solomons7secrets.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Jon Schelkoph d We live in a culture that marginalizes the distinctions between sexes and demonizes the idea of gender defined roles. Many factors contribute to the passivity of the American Christian male. Jesus is looking for men who are willing to buck this trend and courageously lead His church. If you are a man of any age, come and hear truths that will purify your aspirations and elevate the quality of your leadership. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1575/aspire.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Jack Redmond d Like speaking on "Humility and how I attained it", this is the most presumptuous topic I've ever tackled. We need to become aware of it in our own lives, see its subtlety, and its dangers. It is what causes break-downs in all relationships. It's what keeps people from coming to Christ in the first place, and what repels people from Christianity. It's the greatest obstacle to true spirituality. Learn the signs, why it's dangerous, and how to overcome self-righteousness. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1574/howtoovercomeselfrighteousness.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Pete Grose d Reading the stories of the Bible can be helpful to our faith. But sometimes reading the Bible can be a challenge if we do not know the context of what we are reading. We will do an overview of the Old Testament as well as an overview of the New Testament. We will cover topics of the major time periods that God worked with His People. This will include the names of who God is working through, where they are and what is the summary of God's working during that time. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1573/overviewofthebibleforyouth.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Kennan Ingalsbe d People often find themselves in complicated situations, both Christians and non-Christians. As they start drawing near to Jesus they ask "How can I work this out?" Most of these situations deal with relationships. This session will show some examples of applying scripture to complicated issues, both on the part of the one in the mess and the one helping him/her out. The goal will be to instill God's hope to everyone, no matter the situation. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1572/complicatedbutdoable.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Ray And Shari Damaso d Are you graduating and thinking about starting your career and moving on to the next phase of life? This seminar will help you in this transitional period of time by providing practical advice on enhancing your marketability to prospective employers and preparing yourself for the changes to a community-based lifestyle. Ray and Shari Damaso (Faithwalkers for over 20 years) will share their wisdom on how to make that transition successful while balancing career, ministry, and family. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1571/thecampustocommunitytransition.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Celeste Rundquist d Courageous. Bold. Surrendered. Submissive. Ruth gave up everything, expecting nothing and God honored her. What a young woman is to aspire after, and yet somehow I think we have forgotten how powerful and life changing her story really is. I am so excited to share with you all that God has shown me through the book of Ruth! This is especially for young women (high school/college), but all ages are welcome. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1570/wherehavealltheruthsgone.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Greg Standinger d There may be times we feel that our past or present condition before God is so heinous that there is no way He can accept us. We are fallen to the point that we can't be useful to Him. Is this possible? Find out where to go when we feel our sin is too great for God or those around us to ever make a difference again. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1569/ivefallenandicantgetup.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Mary Knox d It’s not easy being a Christian, but God gives us "how-to's" in His Word. He is very practical and specific. Come hear what your Father God says about how to live successful, happier, more fulfilling lives at home, at school, with your friends, and even with the way you dress. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1568/livingagodhonoringlife.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Mike Bergen, Moh Yin Chang, Guang Song, And Jim Wiebelhaus d "I had never met a Christian until coming to school here," is a common refrain from many of the 800,000 international students & scholars on our college campuses. What does God want you to do? In this seminar, we will show you some practical steps to start or grow an ISM. Also, learn about the exciting work God is doing through English/Gospel Camps in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, ... http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1567/internationalstudentministry.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Paul Johnson c As Christ followers it can be easy to forget that we're in a war, easy to get lazy and easy to just let opportunities for the gospel pass us by. I believe that one of the greatest problems that we face is our own passivity. Please come investigate the ways that we are passive and what we can do to reject it and move on to all that God has for us. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1566/rejectingpassivity.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Johnny Vanderhorst c Jesus enjoyed parties and the good gifts of God enough to be falsely accused of being a drunkard and a glutton. Were the parties we find Jesus at frequent breaks from His mission, or were they a key part of fulfilling it? God is the original party planner. In our lives, parties are meant to be a context for enjoying Jesus, and chances to reflect His greatness. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1565/dontwasteyourparties.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Ben Lennander c Most of us spend 23 years of our lives getting an education which allows us to enter the working world. We then spend the next 40 plus years working in a variety of ways. What does the Bible say about work? What are principles to live by to be successful? How do we balance work, family and church? This seminar will address these questions and more and will give you practical advice, whether you are just finishing college or have been working for years. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1564/work.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Andy Gray c The pain of feeling left out, inadequate, unattractive, or just "not cool," are universal struggles. The Bible is unapologetic when it comes to sharing the real, often tragic, accounts of people of faith. We'll explore the story of a young woman stuck in a miserable situation that fueled these emotions exponentially and discover how with God, there is true hope and joy. Read Genesis 25:19-29:35 to get a backdrop for this seminar. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1563/thegirlnobodywanted.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Robin Klapatch c Family, friends, schoolteachers, the media - it seems like everyone has an opinion about what you should do with your life. Learn how to let go of other people's agendas for you and step into the freedom of fulfilling God's purposes instead. We'll talk about the importance of knowing how God has uniquely gifted you to be part of His plan and about ways that you can grow in being free to be who God really made you to be. (for Jr. High and up.) http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1562/free2bu.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Rob Gerber c We live in a world that honors celebrity and performance. Into this world God has put a bunch of strange people who don't like the limelight, who seem unsocial, who seem to like to be alone. What was He thinking?! Come learn how to love and work with the introverts in your midst. If you are an introvert (like me), come and learn how God loves and uses you in this extroverted world. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1561/introvertsguidetochristianity.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Charlie Meyer c The Bible tells us that the world began not very long ago with one man and one woman in a garden. But in every classroom and TV program this idea is ridiculed and things like ape men and billions of years are discussed in factual, scientific terms. Are we crazy to believe in the account God gave us? What difference does it make and why should you care? (If you are in high school, or older, this seminar is vital if you don't want to be crazy.) http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1560/arewecrazy.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Gary Osborn c Probably no other book in the Bible is criticized and ridiculed as much as the book of Genesis. Can we believe and trust the early chapters of Genesis? Who wrote it? Why is it so significant? Does it really matter? Come and find out. You may be amazed at what this book has to say. Genesis is the "Book of Beginnings" and "Origins". The foundations of much that you and I believe comes from this wonderful book. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1559/foundations.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Neva Whitney c God has uniquely blessed our movement of churches with a strong set of Core Values - that really favor us as women. Come hear a woman's perspective on all that we have to be thankful for as women. I hope to talk about effectively working alongside men in the church, how to embrace the church as your family, how to strengthen your witness and testimony. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1558/whyitsacelebration.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Charlie Meyer 8 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1557/main-session-8-charlie-meyer.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Rory Whitney 7 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1556/main-session-7-rory-whitney.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Rick Whitney 6 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1555/main-session-6-rick-whitney.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Ken Johnson b Participants in this seminar will receive instruction in how to write their personal testimony and then they will write and practice their personal testimony. The seminar will also cover other means of starting spiritual conversations with unbelievers. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1554/howtostartspiritualconversations.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Rob Gerber 5 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1553/main-session-5-rob-gerber.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Dave Bovenmeyer 4 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1552/main-session-4-dave-bovenmyer.mp3 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Dean Klapatch a A little nervous about sharing your faith? Not sure how to start a conversation and "turn the corner" to talk about God? Come and learn some practical ways to help people to think about what their beliefs are and where they come from. This conversational approach to sharing, seeks to help the person see their spiritual need and gives them the opportunity to ask you about the truth. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1551/knowwhattheybelieve.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Mark Darling 3 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1550/main-session-3-mark-darling.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Tim Rude 2 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1549/main-session-2-tim-rude.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Joy Hill b "But He knows where I am going. And when He tests me, I will come out as pure as gold."- Job 23:10. After a trial we have a sense that God is really real. There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Come hear some of the lessons and blessings God has taught me in the last year and why my last name has changed from Whitney to Hill. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1548/outofhisgreatlove.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Rory And Rick Whitney a Together we will talk about the 10 things we believe you need to pay attention to, if you hope to last. It's one thing to serve God for three days or three months. It's quite another thing to serve Him for a lifetime. We are still learning, but we will share what He has taught us. The specific disciplines you need and the things that trip us all up. Ten Practicals from our heart. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1547/dailywalkingstrong.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Brad Barret b Ever feel like your life is damaged or even ruined... perhaps because of personal failure or because life has dealt you a bad set of cards? Is there hope on the heels of such a past? God is the God of new beginnings, so no life is ever beyond a glorious future. Come and hear lessons on the grace of God, and start a brand new day. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1546/godofnewbeginnings.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Mike And Rita Bergen b How's it going in your relationship with your parents? Are you benefiting from the "first command with a promise?" Struggles we have in many areas of life are often a result of our misunderstandings about honoring our parents. The more you understand about honoring parents, the more benefit you'll experience in every other relationship. This seminar is applicable for everyone, from grade school up through every age. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1545/honoryourfatherandmother.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Guang Song b How often do you think about Heaven? We read the lives of Abraham and Moses in Hebrew 11 and see how they 1) considered themselves as aliens and strangers in this world, 2) longed for a better country, and 3) endured as seeing Him who is invisible. In this seminar, we will look at how being heavenly-minded can deeply impact our lives - our devotion to God, our love for one another, and our compassion for the lost. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1544/beingheavnilyminded.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Karl Quickert b Most students ask "What major?" when the real question is "What career?" This seminar will encourage students to be wise and think critically in the pursuit of a career. It will also discuss the pitfalls of excessive student loans. High school students, parents, and college students are all invited to attend this important seminar. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1543/whatmajordoichoose.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Bruce Crane b Do you have trouble understanding the Old Testament?

This is a question that most of us don’t know the answer to. Anger is a part of our design. This seminar will help us learn to respond to anger in others appropriately, learn self-control in our own anger, learn what is righteous anger and finally, to learn how destructive our historical anger can be in us. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1541/dealingwithanger.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Charlie Meyer b Nothing on the planet makes us crazier than sex. For good or evil its influence throughout our life is inescapable. Its misuse and misunderstanding is nearly destroying our culture. As Christians, we will not be able to reach and change this world without regaining a godly understanding of this gift. (This seminar is designed to help both singles and marrieds do just that.) http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1540/crazysex.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Kurt Jurgensmeier b Paul said, "Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature." (Gal 5:16) Accordingly, the key to a fulfilling and fruitful Christian life is living in the power and fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Who doesn't want more of these in our life? Come and learn how to more consistently live by the Spirit, escape the control of sin, and experience the freedom that Christ wants you to have! http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1539/livingbythespirit.mp3 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Jacki Berglund b Sexual Abuse has left so many people hurt, confused and bitter. Come and hear how God can use for good, what Satan meant for evil, as I share my story about years of being sexually abused and God's mercy and healing.

Many desire to mentor / build into others, yet when it comes down to it, aren't really sure just how to mentor someone else effectively. This seminar will focus on the "Nuts & Bolts of Mentoring." How do I do it? Who should I invest into? What do we talk about? How much listening should I do? How often should we meet? Am I really ready to do this? http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1537/showmetheway.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Paul Hansen a In recent years, the church in the West has experienced decline and a diminished influence. The church's design, as purposed by Christ, was to be a place where not even the gates of hell would be able to stop it. There was a clear vision of the gospel message, an undivided heart in discipleship and a new culture of incarnate gospel living. Come rediscover what it will take for us to minister in power. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1536/unleashingthegospel.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Kathleen Nelson a Most of us have a default thought-life that is based on self-centeredness. We run through a continual stream of thoughts like it's all about me, how I feel, and how I want things to go. This type of thought life leaves us feeling trapped and struggling to stay encouraged. Let's talk about how to set ourselves on a course to change our thought life from emotion-based to truth-based! http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1535/growintruthbasedthoughtlife.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Ryan Stahl a As Christians, we obviously hold the Bible in high regard. We revere it, adore it, love it and consume it. It is our treasure and our travel guide. But how did we get the Bible? How did it come into being? How can we trust that it is what God intended and not full of errors? This seminar will discuss the origins of the Bible, the manuscript evidence, the Dead Sea scrolls and the canon. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1534/biblebasics.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Bob Hibbing a Teens, when I was your age, Herschel Martindale taught me what he called, "The Spiritual Growth Equation." Over the years, I have seen this equation work out in numerous adaptations in my life. I'd like to share some of them with you. I'd like you to join me for the rest of your life in the Treasure Hunt, which is finding the sufficiency of Jesus for every deficiency of your life.

This is one of the most powerful approaches I've seen that can change the minds of people regarding abortion using history as our teacher. We will follow the video with Q & A and prayer. warning: due to graphic images and mature themes, parental guidance is suggested. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1531/doa180forlife.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Becky Crane a Women, let’s talk about those powerful and unpredictable feelings that can pull us up and down and inside out. We will look at the two ditches on either side of the road that we can fall into when it comes to our emotions. We will discover what God’s word teaches us and models for us to keep us on track emotionally as well as spiritually. http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1530/thetruthaboutyouremotions.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Brent Knox 1 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1529/main-session-1-brent-knox.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT Mark Darling 0 http://gccweb.markupfactory.com/podcasts/episode-1528/worshipprayer.mp3 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 CDT
