Let’s be real—Mormons are out-hustling most Christians in evangelism. But what if you could learn to fish for souls the way Jesus taught His disciples—naturally, logically, and humbly?This bold message challenges passive faith and calls us back to the mission: to actually lead people to Jesus. Not with weird scripts or forced conversations, but with Spirit-empowered authenticity and gospel clarity. Whether you’ve never shared your faith or you’re just out of rhythm, this is your invitation to throw your net on the other side of the boat.🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:30 AM | 10:00 AM | 11:30 AM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

A Big Move, A Bigger Mission
In this episode of Skeptics & Saints, Nolan and Lindsay unpack the massive transition happening at The Garden—a move to a new school, a surge in attendance, and a front-row seat to a move of God in real time. But this isn’t just about logistics. This is about embracing the Jesus adventure, being “logged on” to the Holy Spirit, and stepping into your role as a church planter—whether you realize it or not.💡 What does it mean to live on mission instead of just consuming church?🔥 How do we respond when God shifts our plans?👶 Why even our kids are part of the movement?This is more than a transition—it’s a call to jump into the story God is writing in the West Valley.

There Is No Maturing Without Serving
We live in a grind culture that exalts hustle, self-protection, and personal achievement over everything. The world tells us to chase success, build our own platforms, and seek recognition. But Jesus shows us a radically different way: Serving.True maturity isn’t measured by knowledge or status—it’s measured by a heart that’s willing to roll up its sleeves and serve others. There is no true spiritual growth without serving. Jesus Himself, the King of Kings, took the form of a servant, humbled Himself, and ultimately gave His life for us (Philippians 2:5-8). If we claim to follow Him, then we are called to live like Him.Saved people serve people. The heart that has been wrecked by the gospel doesn’t sit on the sidelines—it pours itself out, without complaining, without hesitation, without entitlement.You never look more like Jesus than when you serve.Are you willing to step into the grind—not for yourself, but for the Kingdom?🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com🕒 Sundays at 8:30 AM | 10:00 AM | 11:30 AM📲 Stay Connected:Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZFacebook: The Garden Church🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen HereSpotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen HereSpotify: Listen Here

Before You Deconstruct, Ask This!
Deconstruction. It’s become a buzzword, a movement, and for many, a path away from Christianity. But before you walk away from faith, are you sure you know what you’re leaving behind?From Josh Harris, who once led purity culture and later renounced his faith, to Abraham Piper, who turned deconstruction into a viral movement, we’ve seen a pattern: tearing down faith without rebuilding anything in its place. But deconstruction doesn’t have to mean destruction.In this episode, we unpack the real questions behind deconstruction—where it leads, what it exposes, and how Jesus Himself challenged false faith without abandoning truth. Are you questioning bad theology, or just leaving Christianity because of bad experiences? Have you mistaken broken Christians for a broken Christ?Doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it’s an invitation to a deeper one. Before you deconstruct, ask this.🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com🕒 Sundays at 8:30 AM | 10:00 AM | 11:30 AM📲 Stay Connected:Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZFacebook: The Garden Church🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen HereSpotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen HereSpotify: Listen Here
