Is Jesus Calling Me?

Ordinary Faith – Episode 1

Welcome to the very first episode of our podcast!

In this debut episode, Pastor Jamin and Nathan jump right into the chaos — recapping a Mother's Day Sunday that had it all: five baptisms spanning every generation, a toddler running across the stage, a cold baptistry (because someone forgot to turn on the heater), leaky waders, and a first-time guest who walked away saying it felt "real." Because it was.

But beyond the funny stories, the conversation goes deep into Mark 1 and what it means that Jesus didn't call polished, put-together people — He called available ones. Fishermen who had likely already missed the cut to follow a rabbi. Ordinary guys mending nets on the sideline. And yet Jesus saw them, called them, and they immediately followed.

They talk about:

What it actually means to "follow Jesus" beyond just attending church events

How God meets us in the seasons when we're mending our nets — in the valleys, the grief, even the possum infestations

The difference between inviting Jesus into your life vs. being invited into His

Why ordinary faithfulness — getting up, opening the Word, praying a simple prayer — matters more than the big platform moments

How to be a living stream: letting God's Word pour in and overflow into the lives of those around you.

Whether you're fishing or fixing nets right now, this episode is a reminder: Jesus is still walking slowly through the crowd, and He still sees you.
