• Why Laziness Is Killing Your Purpose | Live Free with Josh Howerton

  Ever felt like life is stuck on pause? Idleness can silently kill purpose, and today, we’re exploring how to live with intention. Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Tim Smith discuss the dangers of the sin of sloth, its link to mental health struggles, and the biblical call to work. They also explore the role of stay-at-home dads and how living mission-driven leads to fulfillment.   Through King David’s downfall, they highlight the power of meaningful work and how to break free from stagnation. As we consider how to align our lives with God’s design, we also ask: How do we balance leisure and recreation? Can Christians play video games without falling into idleness? This conversation will challenge and encourage you to step into your calling and discover the life God has planned for you.     👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update!     👇 DON’T MISS OUT!

  Marriage is amazing—but it can also be really hard. Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton sit down with Pastor Josh and Sharon McPherson of Grace City Church for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what makes marriages thrive (and what can tear them apart). They break down biblical truths about leaving and cleaving, headship and submission, and what it looks like to lead and support each other well. Plus, they get into the tough stuff—setting boundaries with in-laws, handling emotions, and why so many couples struggle in the same areas. Whether you’re newly married or years in, this conversation is packed with wisdom and honesty you won’t want to miss.   👇 DON’T MISS OUT!   💍 Marriage Weekend Bonus Resources: Everything you need for a stronger marriage—real conversations, fun date night questions and practical tools to grow together: https://lakepointe.church/marriage-weekend-resources/    📣 Join us for Movement on Friday, February 28—an evening to celebrate all you do and hear from special guest, Pastor Joby Martin.

• Jesus Said to Watch Out for This Sin! | Live Free with Pastor Josh Howerton

  What really controls your heart? Greed is a sneaky sin—easily overlooked but quietly shaping our decisions, desires, and relationships. Pastor Josh Howerton, Tim Smith, and Chris Burkley explore the story of Achan in Joshua 7, showing how unchecked greed led to devastating consequences—not just for him, but for his entire community. Nobody sins in isolation—our choices impact our relationships and beyond.   They discuss how greed distorts wisdom, how the fear of the Lord leads to true perspective, and how culture pulls our hearts in different directions. They also touch on Elon Musk and the ongoing USAID debate, highlighting how faith intersects with real-world issues. Plus, they share personal stories of trusting God with finances, the principle of first fruits, and practical ways to teach generosity. If you’ve wrestled with the tension between financial security and faith, this conversation will challenge you to live with open hands and a heart that fully trusts in God’s provision.       👇 DON’T MISS OUT! 💍 Marriage Weekend: Invest in your relationship during our services on Feb 22 & 23.
