The YA Podcastep. 082 - YA NITE - Gospel Living: Don't Give UpHave you ever just wanted to quit? Maybe it’s a relationship, your Bible reading habit, a job or even your walk with God. Why do we get weary? Why do we give up when things get hard or when we don't see results?Join us, as we dive into Galatians 6 with Pastor Abe Miller from Eden Church and explore how Paul challenges us to keep going—to walk in the Spirit, love others well and not grow tired in doing good. What does it mean to gently restore someone who’s struggling? How do we carry one an...2025-05-2741 minThe YA Podcastep. 081 - YA NITE - Living in Freedom of the SpiritIn this YA message, Pastor Jerrod Leonard dives into Galatians 5 with a powerful call to live in true freedom—not the kind that indulges the flesh, but the kind that comes from walking by the Spirit. What does real freedom look like in your life? Are you settling for instant gratification or pursuing the life God has called you to? Jerrod shares parts of his own story, challenges us to examine ours and reminds us that freedom in Christ leads to lasting fruit.@saylorville_ya2025-05-1439 min
The Saylorville Women's PodcastEp. 108: DeAnn Bentley | Every Christian's Got A TestimonyEp. 108: DeAnn Bentley | Every Christian's Got A TestimonyIn this episode, DeAnn shares how from a young age God showed Himself steadfast again and again - in salvation and then ever since through His church, His Word, and His constant provision. Isaiah 25:1 declares, "O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago."2025-05-0532 minThe YA Podcastep. 080 - YA NITE - True Freedom as Sons & DaughtersWhat does it mean to be truly free? In this episode, we dive into Galatians 3 & 4 ,with Colton Willey, to explore how the Gospel offers a freedom unlike anything the world promises. While culture defines freedom as living without constraints, Scripture shows us that true freedom is found in knowing Christ, being adopted into God’s family and resting in His promises. But here’s the paradox—real freedom comes not from self-reliance but from joyful submission to Christ. Join us as we continue to unpack why Jesus + Nothing = Everything, how legalism enslaves and what it means to walk in the Sp...2025-04-0846 minThe YA Podcastep. 079 - YA NITE - Living Out Our New IdentityDo you find yourself stuck in a cycle of trying harder, failing, and feeling unworthy? In this episode, we unpack the rest of Galatians 3 with Andrew Bush, the High School Director at Saylorville Church, and see Paul’s bold contrast between the Law and the Promise in. The Law was never meant to save us—it was meant to show us our need for Jesus. So what does it really mean to be a child of God? To be clothed with Christ? To be an heir of His promise? And if we are heirs of the promise, are we also...2025-03-2548 minThe YA Podcastep. 078 - YA NITE - Desperate for GodHave you ever felt like you needed to do more to earn God’s love? Like being a good Christian depended on your effort? In this episode, we dive into Galatians 3 continuing in our YA series No Other Gospel with Colton Willey, our Connections Director, and wrestle with the struggle of adding to the Gospel—something Paul calls foolish and dangerous. Through personal stories, real struggles and biblical truth, we’ll see why Jesus alone is enough and why our daily desperation for Him is the key to true freedom. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to measu...2025-03-1144 minThe Saylorville Women's PodcastEp. 104: Arlene McClintock | God's Pursuit of MeEp. 104: Arlene McClintockIn this episode, Arlene McClintock shares her story of how God has been pursuing her in various ways from a young age and the various path’s she has been on that God has shown Himself faithful to her. 2025-03-0331 minThe YA Podcastep. 077 - YA NITE - The Cost of Hypocrisy and the Power of JustificationFear has the power to derail our faith, weaken our witness, and lead to failure. In this episode, we dive into Galatians 2:11-21, where Peter’s fear of people led him into hypocrisy—contradicting the very Gospel he preached. Curtis, our YA Director, is back for week 3 in our study of the book of Galatians called No Other Gospel. @saylorville_ya2025-02-2642 minThe YA Podcastep. 076 - YA NITE - The Gospel That Changes LivesReal change isn’t about trying harder—it’s about surrender. In this episode, we explore Galatians 1:11–2:10 and how the true Gospel doesn’t just modify behavior but completely transforms lives. Jason Jackson, the Discipleship Pastor at Saylorville, helps us see how Jesus takes people from brokenness to purpose, from striving to surrender, and from religion to real relationship.

He unpacks Matthew 22:34-40 to uncover the truth about wholehearted love: what it means to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbors as ourselves.Join us as we navigate the pitfalls of self-focused living and embrace the freedom, purpose and joy found in loving God and others w...2024-11-2741 minThe Saylorville Women's PodcastEp. 96: Preston and Nicole Young Marriage Story | Beauty Out of BrokennessEp. 96: Preston and Nicole Young Marriage Story | Beauty Out of BrokennessListen in as Preston and Nicole share about their broken lives pursuing identities outside of Christ and how the gospel radically transformed their lives and continues to transform their marriage.

Drawing from personal experiences, Biblical wisdom, and real questions from today’s culture, Kyhl addresses love in relationships and the common lies that drive us to isolation. Using Romans 12 as a foundation, he discusses how to build genuine connections based on five principles of true, Biblical love: rejecting lies, holding fast to what is good, putting others first, letting go of grudges, and grounding everything in the Gospel. @saylorville_ya2024-10-3033 minThe YA Podcastep. 071 - YA NITE - POV: AnxietyThe nagging "what if" in your heart. The constant second-guesses. The overwhelming hopeless feeling. That paralyzing panic. According to the 2023 census 49% of adults age 18-24 reported anxiety and depression symptoms. To fight against the "what if" we have to change our point of view from "what if" to "what is". Join us as we study Philippians 4 and look deeper into what the Bible says about anxiety. It may just be a point of view shift.@saylorville_ya2024-10-0941 minThe YA Podcastep. 070 - YA NITE - POV: Purpose & FulfillmentWhat makes you happy? What brings you fulfillment?
