After the Digital Fast - ReEntry

As we return to life beyond our 28-day Digital Fast, we sit down with Pastor Jason to unpack the journey and the reentry. We discuss the biggest takeaways for us personally, for Bethlehem Church, and for the Church at large.

In this episode, we reflect on areas of growth, the moments that surprised us, and the daily disciplines that have reshaped our relationship with technology. Pastor Jason challenges us to be INTENTIONAL instead of INSTINCTUAL when it comes to how we use our phones. This isn't just about screen time. It's a matter of discipleship and forming habits that lead us toward greater awareness of Jesus' presence, deeper rest, and a renewed mind.

Digital Fast Week 4 - Determining the Course

As we enter the final week of our Digital Fast, we turn the page to Week 4’s theme: “Determine.” In this episode, we reflect on what we’ve learned and how this fast has shaped us—spiritually, relationally, and personally. What fruit has come from this intentional pause? What priorities have become clear? And how do we carry this clarity into the days ahead?

Join Angela, Kevin, Chevas, and Emma as they share stories of transformation, honest insights about challenges, and the surprising joy from detaching to reconnect. From pulling up spiritual “weeds” to reordering priorities and rediscovering the practice of abiding in God, this conversation is both grounding and inspiring.

We’ll also look at Proverbs 4:23 and John 15, discussing what it means to guard your heart and abide in God’s presence.

If you’ve ever struggled with distraction, disconnection, or the busyness of digital life, this episode is a powerful reminder that what matters most is often what we’ve been too busy to notice.

Digital Fast Week 3 - Delighting in God's Word

As we enter Week 3 of the Digital Fast, our theme turns to Delight—not in the finished product, but in the present moment. This week’s conversation invites us to pause and consider: What does it look like to delight in God’s Word right now, in the middle of the fast, not just at the end?

Join Angela, Kevin, Matt Piland, and Kyle Hale as they reflect on:
What it means to take delight during the process, not just the result.
Specific ways they’re delighting in God’s Word right now.
How stillness and solitude have opened space for a deeper relationship.
Why solitude can feel uncomfortable—and how we can press through resistance to encounter God more fully.

We’ve walked through Detaching and Discovering—now let’s explore how to Delight in the truth, beauty, and presence of God.

Digital Fast Week 2 - Discovering Jesus in the Margins

In this week's episode, Angela and Kevin interview Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Dustin to discuss the transformative journey of discovery during the second week of the Digital Fast series. They explore the difference between "discovering" and merely "detaching" from digital distractions, sharing personal insights on self-awareness and spiritual growth, and unveiling modern-day idols.

We’re recording from our brand-new podcast studio at the 316 campus for the first time, reflecting on how far we’ve come since our first episode in 2020.

The Compass: Navigating the Traits of a Disciple

This episode explores the heart of Bethlehem Church's mission: leading people to discover new life in Christ. Join our Discipleship Team as we unpack what it means to be a people of hope and a place of healing, moving toward becoming more like Jesus in every stage of life. We'll dive into three directives that we see clearly in Scripture—looking up to God, leaning into community, and going out to make disciples—and reflect on how discipleship is not a destination but a way of life. Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with Jesus for years, this episode is a reminder of the hope, healing, and purpose found in Him. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you can always a next step to growing in Christ.
