Welcome back to the Deeper Podcast! This week, Brian steps in as host for Doug and is joined by special guest co-host Amy as they continue our journey through Week 4 in the book of Acts.

Together, they explore some of the inspiring and powerful stories from the early church—how ordinary believers lived with bold faith, radical generosity, and deep community. It’s a reminder that the same Spirit at work in Acts is still moving in and through us today.

🎙️ Special Guests: Daryn & Deidre Schmidt (starts at 25:32)
Later in the episode, we’re joined by Daryn and Deidre Schmidt—incredible leaders at Fellowship. Daryn currently serves as one of our church elders, and together they share how God has used their family as they’ve simply made themselves available to the people around them. From expected opportunities at work to unexpected opportunities throughout everyday life, their story is an encouragement to anyone wanting to live a life of impact right where they are.

🎧 Tune in, be inspired, and let’s keep going deeper—together.

Welcome back to the Deeper Podcast, where we take time each week to reflect, unpack, and live out the powerful truths from this weekend's message.

In Week 4 of our “Church Reimagined: The Prodigal God” series, we’re excited to be joined by Pastor Joe Hishmeh. Joe shares some personal stories about his family and gives us a glimpse into what he hopes the church will take away from this weekend’s message at Fellowship.

Together, we can show the heart of the Father as we are compassionate toward the lost, and live out a Christlike presence—not just in our city, but right on our own street.

🌎 How can we reflect God's heart to our neighbors?
💬 What does it look like to be a living example of compassion towards the lost today?

Welcome back to the Deeper Podcast, where we dive into the heart of Sunday’s message and explore how we can live it out in real, transformative ways.

This week, in Week 3 of our “Church Reimagined: The Prodigal God” series, we reflect on one of Jesus' most powerful parables — the story of the Prodigal Son. We’re honored to be joined by Pastor Tim Hughes of Grace Point Church in Topeka. Tim shares personal stories from his time pastoring in Topeka, along with his deep hope for a more united and gracious church community across the city.

Together, we unpack how the radical grace of the father in the parable isn’t just a story — it’s an invitation. An invitation to reimagine what church can look like when it’s rooted in love, grace, and a shared commitment to being a community that welcomes everyone home.

🗣️ What does it look like to be a church that reflects the father’s heart?
🤝 How can we build a deeper, more gracious church community in Topeka?

Tune in, be encouraged, and let’s go deeper—together.
