In this episode of the Living Out 180 Podcast, Kendall and Pastor Brad continue the Final Words series by exploring John 16 and 17, where Jesus prepares His disciples for trouble, promises the help of the Holy Spirit, and prays for His followers.

Jesus does not hide the reality of pain and opposition. Instead, He reminds His disciples that the presence of trouble does not mean the absence of God. In the middle of hardship, Jesus offers a peace the world cannot give and points them to the work of the Holy Spirit, who will continue to guide, teach, and strengthen them.

Kendall and Brad also reflect on the powerful prayer of Jesus in John 17, where He prays for His disciples and for all future believers—for protection, unity, sanctification, and love. This episode is a reminder that even in difficulty, Jesus is still working, still interceding, and still calling His people to live in peace, truth, and unity.

Key Scripture: John 16:1–4 John 16:7–8 John 16:33 John 17:6–19 John 17:20–26

Listen in and reflect: When trouble comes, are you looking for peace that only comes through Christ or just a way out?

In this episode of the Living Out 180 Podcast, Kendall and Pastor Brad begin a new three week series called Final Words, focusing on the powerful final teachings of Jesus before the cross.

In Part 1, they walk through John 14 and 15, where Jesus speaks peace to troubled hearts, promises the presence of the Holy Spirit, calls His followers to remain connected to Him, and commands them to love as He has loved them.

Together, Kendall and Brad explore what it means to trust Jesus even when you do not understand, to find peace in Christ rather than in clarity, and to stay connected to the true vine in every season of life. They also reflect on how pruning can lead to growth and how the Spirit produces the obedience and love that Jesus calls us to live out.

Key Scripture: John 14:1–6 John 14:27 John 15:1–4 John 15:9–13

Listen in and reflect: Are you trusting Jesus, staying connected to Him, and loving others the way He has loved you?

In this episode of the Living Out 180 Podcast, Kendall and Pastor Brad return together as they wrap up the Fruit of the Spirit series with a conversation on self-control—and record for the first time in their new facility at 1601 E Broadway Ave.

Often misunderstood as simply trying harder or holding things in, biblical self-control is something much deeper. The Greek word enkrateia points to mastering our desires and impulses through the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s not about suppression—it’s about alignment.

Together, Kendall and Brad explore how self-control flows from surrender, not perfection. They discuss how a lack of self-control can lead to chaos in our lives, and how this fruit shows up in practical ways—especially in our words, our reactions, and our daily decisions.

From learning to pause before we speak, to choosing response over reaction, this episode offers clear and practical ways to live a life led by the Spirit rather than driven by impulse.

Listen in and consider: Where do you need to move from control to surrender?
