Between Sundays: A Podcast of Christ Community Church

We’ve spent this season exploring the “one anothers” of Scripture, but what about the “do nots”? In our Season 4 finale, we look at the attitudes and behaviors Scripture warns can quietly erode Christian community, from judgment and gossip to envy, comparison, and provoking one another. We also explore what genuine change looks like: confessing where we’ve caused harm, putting off old patterns, and intentionally replacing them with the fruit of Christ. Because healthy community isn’t only about what we’re called to do for one another, but also what we’re willing to leave behind for the sake of one another.

Serving is about more than filling a volunteer spot. God has uniquely gifted every believer for the good of His people, and no role in the body is insignificant. In this episode of Between Sundays, we talk with Pastor Jesus about stewardship, the joy of serving, and what it looks like to faithfully use what God has given us, both on Sundays and between Sundays.

Discipleship isn't a program. It's a lifelong pursuit of becoming more like Jesus. Pastor Robert Paprocki joins Alyssa to discuss biblical discipleship, why spiritual growth requires both grace and truth, and how God uses ordinary relationships to shape His people into the image of Christ.

Few words are more countercultural—or more misunderstood—than submission. Yet Scripture presents it not as the loss of freedom, but as the pathway to love, humility, and genuine community.
Join us as Pastor Tim and Pastor Ric unpack Ephesians 5, explore Christ's example of humble service, and show how mutual submission shapes a church that reflects the beauty of the gospel.

What does biblical encouragement actually look like? In this episode of Between Sundays, we explore the difference between flattery and true encouragement, why Scripture calls us to "put courage" into one another, and how God uses ordinary words to strengthen his people. Join us as we consider how the gospel shapes the way we encourage, why presence matters, and how we can become people who build up the church one conversation at a time.

What does it really mean to speak the truth in love? In this episode, Alyssa sits down with Youth Pastor Marcus Bratton to explore why truth and love can never be separated in the Christian life. Together, they discuss how honest conversations help us grow, why avoiding hard truths isn't always loving, and how the gospel shapes the way we confront both fellow believers and a watching world.

In this episode, Pastor Tim explores how sin drives us toward secrecy, while Christ invites us into the freedom of being fully known and fully loved. We discuss why confession is both a gift from God and a means of grace within the church, shaping communities where honesty replaces performance and the gospel is made visible through truth, prayer, and faithful love.

In this episode, Pastor Jesus unpacks the biblical meaning of forgiveness, showing that it is far more than simply "letting go." He explains that Scripture presents forgiveness as a relational process involving repentance, reconciliation, and the heart work of entrusting our pain to Christ. The conversation offers practical wisdom for navigating hurt while reminding listeners that Jesus understands our suffering and equips us to extend the forgiveness we've first received in Him.

What does it mean to truly bear with one another — not merely tolerate? Alyssa sits down with elder Danny Lee to explore the biblical call to patient endurance, how Christ's patience toward us shapes our relationships, and why staying through difficulty is one of the most powerful testimonies to the gospel.

In this episode of Between Sundays, Alyssa and Pastor Robert Paprocki explore the biblical meaning of love and why every “one another” command in Scripture flows from it. Discover how the gospel transforms love from a self-centered feeling into a Christ-centered way of living for the good of others.
