Flatirons Community Church Audio Podcast

Do you feel the pressure to get parenting "right"? Let's be honest—none of us truly know what we’re doing, and that's okay. This talk dives deep into the difference between being an owner versus an ambassador in our kids' lives. Are we trying to control everything, or are we stewarding what’s ultimately God’s? We explore the Shema and how it impacts our approach to parenting—our call to model faith, not perfection. The goal isn’t perfect kids; it’s raising followers of Jesus by showing them what true faith looks like through both our successes and our stumbles.

Is being single pointless? In this message, Flatirons kicks off a new series called No Strings Attached, focusing on the challenges of relationships, starting with singleness. Often, those who don't want to be single feel loneliness, frustration, or even inadequacy. But the heart of the message is that God never creates seasons without purpose. Singleness, as Paul highlights in 1 Corinthians 7, is actually a gift—an opportunity for undivided devotion to God and time to serve others. The real challenge isn't finding someone to marry but using this season to live with purpose and meaning.

Ever feel like you’re not good enough or don’t measure up? Christine Caine brings an empowering message about how we’re God’s workmanship, created with a purpose despite what the world tells us. Drawing from Isaiah 41:1 and Psalm 139, she reminds us that we’re not defined by labels like “unqualified,” “unwanted,” or "unqualified." No matter your past or present circumstances, God has a plan for your life, and His opinion is the only one that matters.

Are you tired of living a life that feels less than what you were made for? In this final message of the "Made for More" series, we’re diving deep into what it means to truly know God and the abundant life He offers. This talk is a call to men to step up, draw a line in the sand, and lead their families with purpose. It’s about making the hard choices now to avoid a future of regret—choices that start with where we pitch our tents. Are you ready to aim your life towards God instead of settling for less?

Are you struggling to believe that God truly sees you as His beloved child? Many of us can accept that truth for others, but when it comes to ourselves, doubts creep in. We know our flaws, failures, and darkest thoughts. But Romans 8 reminds us that being a child of God isn’t about achieving perfection; it’s about fighting the good fight. Even if we get knocked down by our sinful nature, the mark of God’s children is that we keep getting back up. God’s grace is scandalous, but it’s real. Embrace it. Fight the good fight, knowing God is in your corner.

Are you stuck in survival mode, running in circles, and living like a slave to your past? This weekend, we explored a powerful truth: God doesn't see you as a project or pity you—He loves you as His child. Through stories, scripture, and even a unique horse analogy, we unpack how understanding your true identity in God can change everything. You were made for more—more significance, purpose, and joy. Learn how turning toward God as your Father can lead you into the life you were meant for, filled with freedom and grace. Join us and see how embracing this truth can transform your life and the lives of others around you.

What happens when we let our struggles define us? Life throws challenges our way, but we don't have to face them alone. In this message, you'll discover how to embrace your true identity beyond your past mistakes and current battles. It's about finding strength in faith, community and understanding that you are more than what you're going through. This broadcast invites you to explore a perspective where hope and purpose take center stage, offering a fresh start no matter where you are in life. Don't miss this chance to reconnect with what truly matters.

Have you ever felt that God is trying to teach you something through your struggles? In this message, Jim explores how God communicates with us through His creation, especially through our experiences and the animals around us. After a rejuvenating sabbatical, Jim returns with fresh insights from God's teachings, illustrated by stories of his dog Murphy, their new puppy Gus, and a wild Mustang. We'll dive into the Book of Romans and the parables of Jesus, revealing how paying attention to God's creation can lead to profound truths about His love and intentions for us. Join us as we embark on this August series, discovering how we are all made for more.

How do the chains we choose to wear shape the freedom we experience in sharing the Gospel? Exploring Rome's ancient wonders like the Colosseum and the Forum, we see how the city’s structures, once symbols of power and oppression, have become landmarks of faith. Paul, imprisoned in Rome, used his chains to spread the Gospel, turning his guards into captives of Christ’s message. His boldness, even in chains, reminds us that God’s story continues through us. Will we let Christ work in our lives and share His story, regardless of our circumstances?
