It was "you will always be, a breath away from me" That truth struck such a chord with me that it sent me writing the lyrics to this song. In a time of praying and wanting a third child, I was thinking a lot about how God breathes life into us - both in the womb (Psalm 139 says we were knit together by God), and when we take our first breath at birth.

When he died and was buried in the Temple Church near the Tower of London, the Archbishop of Canterbury declared William to be "the flower of chivalry" and dubbed him "the greatest knight that ever lived."

Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 37 - The story behind the song "Brushstrokes"I wrote this song called Brushstrokes for Michael & Amy Wadlow's wedding in March of 2002. This song points to the fact that the basis of marriage is rooted in the command of Jesus for us to love one another. Each moment of our sacrifice in loving one another paints another brushstroke in the portrait of Jesus our relationship is showing the world. This song is written and sung by my wife, Linda and I. Performed from Jesus' point of view - you can imagine it is the song that Jesus sings when He appears at the wedding.

The world has been trying to question and undermine any existence of absolute truth that can be knowable. In this podcast we will see that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are all called "the truth" and those who will lead us to truth that can be knowable and believed!

The book of Psalms is divided into Psalms of praise and Psalms of lament. Most Old Testament scholars say that two-thirds of these "songs" are that of lament. Lament is a form of praise (in the midst of pain) while simultaneously engaging as a prayer to God for he...2022-09-1406 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 19 - Lament: More than Grief (1 of 2)I don't think Jesus followers in our day and age have learned the power and biblical value of lament. While others may tell you to "get over it" when you experience loss and pain, I've learned that simply stuffing your hurt down into your insides is dangerous. Repressed grief is a recipe for a disastrous meltdown. Lament is a "passionate expression of grief or sorrow." The Bible helps us see that practicing lament is mingling grief and sorrow with prayer as we bring it into the presence of God. Lament gives our pain a name and expresses it out loud...2022-09-0710 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 18 - The Creative Nature of GodWhether it's a piece of art on the wall or staring at the daily artwork in a sunset outdoors, God is always revealing His creative nature. The Bible tells us that all of creation is worshipping the creator God. Nature displays the splendor and majesty of the one who created it. Creation gives proof that God exists, His fingerprints are seen in breathtaking design of our entire world. The beauty of God's handiwork leads us to worship Him - whether it's in a museum or in the park. 2022-08-3105 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 17 - HeavenMost people I know don't want to think about heaven, they are convinced that this world has more to offer than what God has planned. While we are called to be present, to love others well and serve Jesus in this life - we must consider what we are living for, who we are living for and take on an eternal mindset. C.S. Lewis, one of my heroes, talks about heaven and in this episode we are sharing a bit of his perspective as we consider the topic: heaven.2022-08-2407 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 16 - FearHave you ever had a response that was over the top to someone else? Maybe a time where they asked you to do a simple task, but you snapped at them for no reason that was obvious? That happened to me recently and I learned a valuable lesson about taking time to reflect on why I had the explosion of a response. For me, fear was hiding underneath my loud, defensive outburst. Unexamined fears will unwittingly lead you. Beware. It's time to switch from defense to offense. It's time to face our fears, sort out the lies and apply truth...2022-08-0304 min

Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 15 - Paid in FullDo you ever wonder if you are really forgiven? This podcast takes a look at Psalm 103 and the incredible promises in it that will encourage you and reassure you that when you are forgiven by God - it's a forever thing. When Jesus died on the cross he cried out "tetelestai" a Greek word that means, "It is Finished." That word was used in a quite a few contexts in the first century, including on receipts for business deals. In that context it meant "Paid in Full." The truth is that our sins were paid in full, and Jesus' work...2022-07-2708 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 14 - The Rhythm of SimplicitySimplicity is making a comeback these days. There are TV shows, websites and personalities who are known for their helpful "decluttering" wisdom. Before "the Minimalists" on Netflix or Marie Kondo, there was Jesus, the original minimalist. He warned us not to bow to the idol of money and possessions. At the heart of the Rhythm of Simplicity is trusting God. This is not just about cleaning out your closet, it's about decluttering your life and detaching from loving this world and the things of the world.
When I spoke recently about this topic I was joined by Amy Wa...2022-07-2007 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 13 - Feasting with GodRituals give life meaning. No, I don't mean things we do that have lost all sense of substance and purpose... I'm talking about holidays that draw us into beautiful community with others, cause us to be thankful to God for what He has done for us in the past and grow closer to Him. God gave instructions for His people to observe seven different feasts during each year. While these were designed for the Jewish people, every one of these holy occasions pointed to the future hope of the messiah Jesus. As the church, we have been "grafted in" to G...2022-07-1309 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 12 - Freedom Defined by JesusJesus came to set us free from the kingdom of darkness and invites us into His kingdom of light and life. If He has set us free, we are really free. His definition of freedom is a bit different than what I see lived out around me. Jesus chose freedom with limitations. Some would say that "freedom knows no limits; if it is limited, it should not be called freedom." But freedom without limits brings destruction. We must be careful to not allow our freedom to drive us to a selfish posture of serving ourselves. As Jesus followers we need to...2022-07-0610 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 11 - Fasting Our Way to JoyFasting is purposely abstaining from food or other good things so that you can hear the voice of God more clearly. While fasting has many physical benefits, the practice of fasting in the Christian church is generally to become more sensitive to God and grow in our faith. The Lenten season prior to Easter every year is known as a period of fasting, and we can learn about our posture in fasting by learning more about the intent of that season. It is a time of growth, preparation and joy. Jesus fasted and implied that His followers would do so a...2022-06-2809 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 10 - Seeking God in ObscurityObscurity is being unknown to the world, but seen, known and loved by God. There is a powerful place for a posture of obscurity in our Christian walk. Jesus modeled a life of obscurity and wasn't driven by maintaining His reputation with others. He lived to please His Heavenly Father. The pattern I see in Jesus' life in Matthew 3 and 4 reveals a powerful delivery of His true identity as a loved son, followed by a season of obscurity in the desert where God seared that "belovedness" into Jesus' soul. Then Jesus is tempted in the area of His identity - pa...2022-06-2108 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 9 - Discerning God's VoiceMany people have asked me, "How do I know when it's God that is speaking to me?" It's a great question, and so I decided to put this short list of ways to be more sure God is whispering to your heart...
Here are 10 ways that point to God speaking to you...
1) It is a spontaneous thought that "pops" into your mind
2) There is a repetitive nature to the message
3) Suddenly you have some information in your mind
4) When a phrase from the Bible or verse number comes into your...2022-06-1509 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 8 - Holy Spirit WhispersGod is always speaking. One of the ways we hear His voice is in divine whispers to our hearts. Sometimes a phrase that is seems to come into your mind out of nowhere can shift your future and change your life. Discerning the whispers of God refer to the Rhema word of God - a timely message that we need to hear in our specific situation. While every Rhema word must line up with His written word, the Logos, these are very powerful ways the God leads, comforts and encourages us.

Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 7 - The Love LetterGod's written word, described with the Greek word, Logos is more than a boring set of rules. It is a love letter to us that reveals the character and heart of the one who loves us most (God). It is one of the ways God speaks to us, and every other way He reveals messages to us must be in alignment with what the Bible says. God is inviting us to read His love letter. His heart longs for us to know that we are His own. That we are loved, and will never be alone.

Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 6 - Creation SpeaksGod reveals Himself in many ways - and He loves for us to hear what He is saying through his creation. Have you spent time outdoors recently for the purpose of hearing God's voice? Psalm 19 tells us that the creation is constantly declaring His praises. The cathedral of nature is calling out to us to come and receive perspective, rest and silence. Solitude in God's creation is what many of us need to slow our hearts down.

Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 5 - Silence is GoldenE.E. Cummings said, "Most people are perfectly afraid of silence" and I agree. As humans we fill the air with constant background noise, often afraid to be alone with our thoughts. In the absence of reflective time and silence, we miss out on the sweetest, most powerful times with God. Are we afraid of silence or starved for it? When was the last time you found a place of silence and solitude and really listened to what God had to say? Henri Nouwen summed this topic up this way, "Without solitude it is virtually impossible to live a spiri...2022-05-1807 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 4 - The Spiritual Discipline of SlowingIt's probably too late to become a farmer at my age, but it's tempting. While I'm a shepherd of people, my daughter is a shepherd of just one lamb. The lessons we have learned in seeing God's rhythms embedding in nature are so refreshing. There are beginnings and ends, seasons, times to cultivate, plant, and harvest. Since 1370 we have been living as a slave to the clock, living rhythms that were neither created by God nor designed for our good. I want to learn God's rhythms instead of rushing, life hacking and cheating my way to getting more for less...2022-05-1107 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 3 - The Ruthless Elimination of HurryDallas Willard brilliantly noted, "Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day. You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life." If Jesus is our pace setter for life, we are going to have to slow down a lot! We never see Him running in the gospels, He arrives at precisely when He intends to, but is never late. Most all of Jesus' miracles all happen when he gets "interrupted." Jesus walked slowly because He knew that what others label "earthly interruptions" are often invitations into divine appointments. It's time to take hurry out, and bury it in the...2022-05-1105 min
Andrew Burchett PodcastEpisode 2 - Learning the Unforced Rhythms of GraceWith the world waking up after a two year pandemic whirlwind life is starting to move pretty fast. As the world "wakes up" and demands even more from us than we are ready for... how will we respond? Will we walk in Jesus' unforced rhythms of grace or try to keep up with an unhealthy pace the world sets? I don't want to complain that I don't have enough time and live like a victim. As a follower of Jesus, I am an overcomer, how can I discover how to live like one? In this episode we continue our ponde...2022-05-1107 min

I am a Jesus follower who is on a lifelong learning adventure with the only teacher who offers "life to the fullest." Like the hustle of New York City, our lives are too full and we need to consider building a central park of rest with God. That's what this first podcast episode is all about. 2022-03-0807 min

The Dr. John Stumbo Audio PodcastJohn Stumbo Video Blog No. 66Speaking from the National Office Archives this month, John gives a short devotional from Gideon’s story, which conveys a principle for leaders to take into this new year—God reveals Himself in crisis, often through leaders who rise at that moment despite being in the midst of the tragedy themselves. Examples are Josh Gallagher, lead pastor of Paradise (California) Alliance Church, and Andrew Burchett, lead pastor of Neighborhood Church in Chico, who share their testimonies from the 2018 Camp Fire. The Alliance legacy overflows with accounts of hardship, pain, and the Spirit of God breathing into a leader’s soul—h...2019-01-2312 min
