Bridgewater Tunkhannock’s Podcast

Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident, and it was never meant to happen alone. While many people desire to grow in their relationship with Jesus, that pursuit often gets redirected by the pressures and pace of life. In Hebrews 10, we see that God’s design for growth is shared pursuit: people who help one another hold on, stay encouraged, and keep moving forward. Biblical community isn’t just about connection; it’s about transformation and mission. As we pursue Jesus together, we create space for others to do the same, multiplying disciples and advancing the mission of the church. Passage: Hebrews 10:23-25 Speaker: Kurt Goglin

Every family faces conflict—but not every family handles it well. In Ephesians 4, Paul reminds us that the goal isn’t avoiding conflict; it’s honoring God through it. Healthy homes are built when parents speak truth with love, control their emotions instead of being controlled by them, and lead with grace even when tensions rise. “Fighting fair” means we don’t let anger take over or bitterness take root. Instead, we model for our children what forgiveness looks like in real time. The way we handle conflict teaches them more about Jesus than our words ever could. Passage: Ephesians 4:25-28, 31-32; Romans 5:8-11 Speaker: Kurt Goglin

Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. In this 3-week series, we’ll explore God’s blueprint for shaping the next generation by focusing on what matters most: who we and our kids are becoming. From building character that lasts, to handling conflict with grace, to staying consistent when it’s hard, this series will equip parents to lead their families with faith, wisdom, and love. Before God ever talks about parenting practices, He talks about the parent’s heart. In Deuteronomy 6, Moses reminds Israel that raising godly children starts with loving God deeply. Character doesn’t come from rules —it flows from relationship. We can’t pass down what we don’t possess. Building the heart before the house means letting God shape us before we try to shape them. It means talking about God’s truth not just in church, but in the daily rhythms of life—around the dinner table, in the car, and at bedtime. When parents love God first, live with integrity, and repeat His truth with intentionality, they create an environment where character grows naturally. Passage: Matthew 15:8; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Matthew 7:21-23 Speaker: Kevin Ozolins

The harvest is great, and Jesus is still sending His people. As Bridgewater steps into a new ministry year, this vision message calls us to lift our eyes and see the mission field all around us—our neighborhoods, schools, and communities. Rooted in Jesus’ words and the Great Commission, we’re invited into a bold vision for 2026: saturation. Not maintenance. Not addition. But trusting God to move as we step out in faith, live on mission, and believe that when we go… then God moves... Passage: Luke 10:2 Speaker: Josh Jones
