Venture ChurchKingdom Builder or Empire Builder? | Pastor Christian Lindbeck | Venture ChurchWe’re kicking off a brand new sermon series, Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, with a foundational message that frames the entire journey ahead. In this message, Pastor Christian Lindbeck introduces the central question that runs throughout the life of Solomon and, ultimately, through every human heart: Am I building God’s kingdom, or my own empire? Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and the story of Solomon’s rise and fall, Pastor Christian unpacks two ways to live — a wide, flourishing life with God enthroned at the center, or a small, self-driven life built on pride and self-determination.

The Catholic ThingWhat World and Time Is This?One of the better ways of trying to understand a writer or speaker is to imagine what audience he thinks he's addressing, and what he believes that audience most needs to hear. For the popes of the last half century or so, I think I pretty much understood what St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI were driving at, and the people they hoped to reach. With Francis - and now Leo - I'm much less sure. Because the world that they seem to think that they're addressing is not the one that I believe I'm living in.

Venture ChurchGenerosity | Pastor Christian Lindbeck | Venture ChurchThis week Pastor Christian wraps up our Family Matters series by talking about one of Venture’s core values: Generosity. Generosity isn’t about guilt or pressure—it’s about hearts transformed by the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught that where we put our treasure, our hearts will follow. In this message we explore how generosity with our time, resources, and lives reveals what we love, reshapes our hearts, and builds God’s kingdom for generations to come.

2024-10-2839 minQueen of the SciencesApologetics, Good and BadIs the apologetic enterprise coercing people outside the Christian faith into a decision on which their eternal fate depends, conceding the terms of the debate to the culture's notion of what's important, or making fruitful contact in ways specific to the person and situation? (I bet you can guess our answer.) In this episode, Dad and I examine some worse ways of making a defense for the faith that is within us en route to some recommendations of a more excellent way. Plus, Sarah complains even more about Tillich.
