Who Do You Think You Are? Week 2
June 14, 2015 16:32 - 80.5 MBOne of the byproducts of Jesus' work on this earth, is that those who believe in Him have been given the opportunity to take part of the blessed life. In our American society, the idea of a blessed life has become skewed from the original intent that the Lord wanted us to experience. Pastor Adrian speaks to us about the spiritual blessings available to believers, and how the spiritual blessings far outweigh any financial or physical blessing that we could receive.

June 07, 2015 16:44 - 89.4 MBAccording to the Bible, a human's identity can be formed into just one of two different camps; you can either be viewed as being part of Adam's lineage or you can be viewed as being part of Jesus' lineage.

Mixtapes Week 4
May 24, 2015 16:40 - 93.6 MBIn the fourth week of our series of Mixtapes, Pastor Adrian shares with us about how being impacted by the gospel leads us to have changed lives. Every person can look at our world today and admit that the world needs changing, but in order to produce the change we would like to see, we will need to have experienced this change. Whenever an experience impacts our lives, especially for the better, we cannot help but share that experience with others. As Jesus impacts our lives, we can then sh...
Mixtapes Week 3
May 17, 2015 16:13 - 69.6 MBIn our third week of our Mixtape Series Roshad Thomas comes in as a guest speaker and teaches us on how Jesus calls us to repentance. Roshad shows us that Jesus is not looking for perfect people that have reached a certain level of holiness before they can come into relationship with God. In fact, we all suck and will never be able to be good enough in our strength, but Jesus already has everything prepared for us to be able to come back into relationship as God originally intended.
Mixtapes Week 2
May 10, 2015 17:07 - 78.8 MBAs we celebrate our mothers on this Mother's Day, Pastor Adrian speaks to us to aspire to a trait that mothers carry in spades, relentless faith. It is almost inherent for a mother to have such strong faith and belief in their children and for their children.

Also, in conjuction with the resting faith that comes from contentment, we should als...

Let's Get Weird Week 3
April 26, 2015 16:49 - 82.9 MBThe Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood person in the Trinity. A lot of times people are not really sure of what His role is and/or misrepresent Him. This can be seen as some people believing that the Holy Spirit empowering believers ended with the canonization of scripture, while others have twisted theology and practices. This week Pastor Adrian outlines how to recognize people and churches that are living Holy Spirit led lives.
Let's Get Weird Week 2
April 19, 2015 16:40 - 65.6 MBThe Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood person in the Trinity. A lot of times people are not really sure of what His role is and/or misrepresent Him. This can be seen as some people believing that the Holy Spirit empowering believers ended with the canonization of scripture, while others have twisted theology and practices. This week Pastor Adrian shows us through the scripture that from Jesus baptism and even with the empowering of Jesus' disciples at Pentecost that the Holy Spirit descen...
Let's Get Weird Week 1
April 12, 2015 17:16 - 82.8 MBThe Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood person of the Trinity. Many people think that the Holy Spirit is weird in a negative way. But one of the main roles that the Holy Spirit is to empower believers in Jesus to be weird in a way that is counter-cultural. Not weird for the sake of weird, but that believers would be clearly different than those around them because of the grace of God; Jesus' life, death and resurrection; and the Holy Spirit granting the believer strength to follow in Jesus...
Something Beautiful
April 05, 2015 17:16 - 72.4 MBEaster is the biggest celebration for the Christian faith since it marks the distinguishing factor between itself and all other religions, Jesus Christ resurrection.The world has been broken through sin and rebellion and the only thing that could restore the relationship between God and humanity. Pastor Adrian explains how Jesus takes things that were broken and make it into something beautiful.
Lego Principle Week 5
March 29, 2015 17:20 - 83.7 MBPalm Sunday marks the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem the week before he was crucified and ressurected in order to allow humanity to once again be in relationship with God.

Lego Principle Week 4
March 22, 2015 16:41 - 73 MBWe are present for the things we value. This week Pastor Adrian outlines for us that God values people above everything else. As followers of Jesus, we should also pattern our lives to reflect Jesus' value system and place people at the top of our list.
Lego Principle Week 3
March 15, 2015 16:27 - 60.3 MBMany times, people in the church desire to be disciples, but do not put the same value in leading others to be disciples. Pastor Derek Kasdorf walks us through why as believers it is important to follow Jesus, fellowship with believers, and fish for men
Lego Principle Week 2
March 08, 2015 16:44 - 57 MBA lego comes in all different types of shapes, sizes and colors but exists do one thing, to connect. However, even though the legos connected from their initial creation, it was hard to build any type of structures until the foundation piece was introduced years later. For humanity there is only one foundation that can be built upon that is strong enough to withstand any trial or situation, and that foundation is Jesus.
Lego Principle Week 1
March 02, 2015 03:39 - 78.1 MBA lego comes in all different types of shapes, sizes and colors but exists do one thing, to connect. Similarly, the church may operate in many different ways, but its main purpose is to create disciples. Before anyone can even become a disciple they must encounter Jesus, and be brought from death to life. Just as Jesus called Lazarus up from the dead, Jesus places us in community in order to have someone help us take the grave clothes off.
Scandal (Week 4)
February 23, 2015 02:44 - 82.7 MBSubmitting to authority is a hard task for most people to do, especially when we don't agree with the person in charge. God has designed authority stuctures to be present in every aspect of our lives. Authority is divinely established, from parental authority in the house; to management structures in our companies; all the way to our leaders in government. Our spiritual growth will be hindered if we do not see authority as a divine institution designed by God.
Scandal (Week 3)
February 15, 2015 19:23 - 89.2 MBScandal (Week 3): Love Serves Guest pastor Ben Kaempfer of Downtown Community Church (DCC) joins us to deliver a powerful message on relationship with significant others. The depth of our love for God is directly reflected by the quality of our love for others. There is no better measure of love than service, in all circumstances. Love serves, regardless. How well are you loving?
Scandal (Week 2)
February 08, 2015 17:45 - 77.1 MBScandal (Week 2) - Trust Issues Most of us are guilty of trusting too much in our own goodness. We rely on our imagined ability to earn our way into heaven. By trusting too little in His goodness, we miss what God truly has for us; A life of freedom from the bonds of our flesh.
Scandal (Week 1)
February 01, 2015 17:34 - 68.3 MBScandal (Week 1) - The Dance Relationships construct our world. In creation, God established the perfect relationship with man only for it to be fragmented out of our desire to get from God instead of give to him. Do your relationships reflect an attitude of getting, or, as God intended, giving?
New Rules 2K15 (Week 3)
January 25, 2015 21:09 - 75.8 MBNew Rules 2K15 - Week 3 (Engaging Culture) Sacred or secular? Our motivation determines which applies. The church today, in many ways, limits it's influence to the walls housing its congregation. To truly live as disciples, we must carry the gospel in all aspects of life; work, play and all things between.
New Rules 2K15 (Week 2)
January 19, 2015 20:10 - 64.7 MBNew Rules 2K15 - Week 2 (Engaging People) What should mark us as disciples of Christ? Is our good deeds? Is it the wealth we accumulate? John 13 tells us the way we love each another will reveal that we are followers of Christ; that we love others as He loved us.
New Rules 2K15 (Week 1)
January 12, 2015 00:23 - 17.6 MBNew Rules 2K15 - Week 1 (Engaging God) Church culture does not make us Christians. God wants to engage us in a way that alters the path of our lives. Isaiah Chapter 6 is perhaps the best example in scripture of this. In a single moment there is a disturbance in Isaiah's soul, delivering him from his complacent state, recognizing his need for redemption. When God inquires who He should dispatch, Isaiah declares, "Here am I. Send me."
Eyes Wide Shut
January 04, 2015 22:13 - 17.2 MBEyes Wide Shut // 01-04-2015 At the beginning of a new year, we are inclined to focus on the past and future, ignoring the present. We point to past spiritual failure and future spiritual growth without taking inventory of our current state. Our prayer at Engage for 2015, is that you would take hold of where you are with God, and seek earnestly to know Him more.
Day of Atonement
December 22, 2014 01:03 - 13.1 MBDay of Atonement (12/21/14) Since the Fall, God has had a plan of redemption for His people. The strategy is described throughout scripture. From the minute details of Levitcus, to the sweeping maxims of the epistles, Jesus is evident. Find out how Christ is relevant then, now, and always.
Mutual Responsibility
December 15, 2014 15:18 - 14.9 MBMutual Repsonsibility (12/14/14) New location. Same mission. We want to engage God, People and Culture with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Visit us at 1660 N. Monroe St. in Tallahassee, FL. Are we our brother's keeper? How we care for our neighbor says a lot about the state of Christianity in culuture. The essence of the Bible is community. The heart of Christ compels us to die to self and serve others. With this in mind, we examine how the the church measures up.
RESET
December 08, 2014 00:08 - 14.6 MBRESET (Christmas Service) As the Christmas season builds to full speed, and distractions begin to mount, we take this Sunday at Engage to remove the clutter and focus on the reason for celebration. We aim, for a moment, to Reset our hearts and minds to focus on the greatest gift of all.
Numbers Never Lie - Week 4
November 30, 2014 19:58 - 18.5 MBNumbers Never Lie (Week 4) - Check the Scoreboard We judge effort in sporting events by what the scoreboard reads when time has expired. Similarly, what's sown in life is reflected by what is reaped. Just as a tree is judged by the fruit it produces, so too can our lives be judged. What are we sowing today, that will be reaped tomorrow?
In Response to Tragedy
November 23, 2014 18:44 - 18.2 MBNovember 23, 2014 In the wake of a tragic shooting on the campus of Florida State University in our hometown of Tallahassee, Florida, we are left with powerful emotions and complicated questions.

Numbers Never Lie - Week 3
November 16, 2014 20:55 - 17.5 MBNumbers Never Lie (Week 3) - Spare Change The Bible pulls no punches when it comes to giving. In Malachi 3:8, it is plainly stated that God views withholding our tithe as robbing from Him. Our investment in God's kingdom reveals our commitment, or lack thereof.
Numbers Never Lie - Week 2
November 09, 2014 19:29 - 17.2 MBNumbers Never Lie (Week 2) - Empire Business In this life we are not owners. We are stewards of what God has entrusted to us. God provides the spiritual financing and expects a return on His investment. Fortunately, He has also provided us with the portfolio to realize our potential.
Numbers Never Lie - Week 1
November 03, 2014 01:22 - 18.9 MBNumbers Never Lie (Week 1) - Money Never Sleeps Friedrich Nietzsche once predicted that money would replace God in western culture. Observing the greed and envy inspired by the abundance or lack thereof, one could conclude he was correct. Only with Jesus as our center can we overcome the false idol of money and live according to God's will and achieve true prosperity.

October 28, 2014 00:13 - 18.8 MBSomewhere in America (Week 4) - Hide and Seek We all have our go-to hiding spot; the familiar place we run when we're overwhelmed by life. In the conclusion of 'Somewhere in America' we turn to 1 Kings to find the proper response to worries of the world.
Somewhere in America - Week 3
October 19, 2014 19:28 - 18.7 MBSomewhere in America (Week 3) - Are We There Yet? We search and toil all of our lives for something very elusive; contentment. "Are we there yet?" becomes a rhetorical question driving us to the ends of the earth. But do we actually know what "there" is?
Somewhere in America - Week 2
October 12, 2014 21:04 - 21.8 MBSomewhere in America (Week 2) - Foundation of Truth Pastor Tim Johnson joins us to deliver the second installment in our series, Somewhere in America, titled 'Foundation of Truth'.

Somewhere in America - Week 1
October 05, 2014 18:35 - 21.6 MBSomewhere in America (Week 1) - Crossing Jordan What is my purpose? A question we all ask ourself throughout life. While the answer is unique to the individual, the formula is the same for us all. We need to trust in the promise that God has a purpose for each of us, and endure in the process of realizing the prosperity that awaits.
Drunk In Love - Week 4
September 28, 2014 21:03 - 21.8 MBDrunk In Love (Week 4) - False Fantasies Pastor Adrian and his wife Wendy take the stage together in our final installment of 'Drunk In Love' to share their personal insight and experience on the covenant of marriage.

Drunk In Love - Week 3
September 21, 2014 20:28 - 21.9 MBDrunk In Love (Week 3) - Staying Power We desire love that is enduring; love that can weather the storms of life. We search for a biblical, covenant love.

Drunk In Love - Week 2
September 14, 2014 22:28 - 25.2 MBDrunk In Love (Week 2) - Dirty Water Sex, created by God for good, has been marred by sin as man has often and repeatedly crossed boundaries established to ensure its goodness. But where contamination runs rampant, purification is possible through the sanctification of Christ.
Drunk In Love - Week 1
September 08, 2014 00:14 - 20.4 MBDrunk in Love (Week 1): The Exchange Our latest sermon series explores the pervasive influence of sex and sexuality in our culture. We turn to Romans 1:18-32 to find Paul's narrative of man trading the glory of God for debauchery. The implications of which go far beyond the flesh.
Apprentice (Week 11)
August 31, 2014 23:49 - 21.5 MBIn the conclusion to our 'Apprentice' sermon series, we turn again to 2 Timothy, where Paul, nearing the end of his life, gives his disciple a powerful exhortation and instructs him on how to finish well.
Apprentice (Week 10) - On recent events in Ferguson, Missouri
August 24, 2014 18:03 - 43.4 MBIn the wake of recent events in Ferguson, Missouri, we take this Sunday to reflect on the role Christians should assume, and the perspective from which we should approach such a tragedy. Where the enemy seeks to divide, we must pursue reconciliation and maintain an attitude of compassion and healing through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Apprentice (Week 9)
August 17, 2014 23:41 - 21.5 MBContinuing our epic 'Apprentice' series at Engage, we open 2 Timothy this Sunday to unpack Paul's instructions for effective ministry.
Apprentice (Week 8)
August 03, 2014 23:29 - 19 MBThere are two ways we live as a Christian. We are either in Adam (sin) or in Christ (salvation). In 1 Timothy 6:11-13, Paul describes how we can live in Christ. We must run from sin and pursue righteousness, holiness, and godliness; fight the good fight of faith; and take hold of eternal life.
Apprentice (Week 7)
July 27, 2014 18:56 - 22.6 MBWe continue in our series 'Apprentice' in 1 Timothy 5, where Paul describes how we are to honor God by honoring those we are in relationship with. From our spouse, to our children, to our elders and even to those younger than ourself, we are to treat others as extraordinary, as God has treated us.
The Necessity of Humility
July 20, 2014 18:57 - 11.9 MBPastor Dave Hess of Every Nation Campus Ministries joins us this Sunday to deliver a message on the importance of humility and the role God intends it to play in our hearts and our faith.
