   Ep. 42: A Call to Come Back to the Heart of Worship

   What does worship really mean, and have we reduced it to something God never intended it to be? In this episode of the House Fires Movement Podcast, CJ, Leana, Joy take an honest look at worship in the Church and the invitation to return to its true foundation. Worship is more than singing. It is sacrifice, surrender, obedience, consecration, and a life lived unto the Lord. Together, they explore the difference between worshiping God and simply creating a worship experience, asking hard questions about motive, performance, excellence, gifting, production, and whether success necessarily means God is pleased. They also talk about the importance of heart posture in worship leadership, why talent alone is never enough, how fear of man can keep us from freely responding to God, and why worship should create space for the Holy Spirit to interrupt our plans. This conversation is not a rejection of skill, preparation, creativity, instruments, or excellence. It is a call to redefine excellence itself: not as having the best production, but as having the right posture before the Lord. Maybe the crisis in worship is not that we have stopped singing about God. Maybe we have learned how to sing about God while still making the experience about us. It is time to come back to the altar, back to surrender, and back to the heart of worship.

   Ep. 41: God's Heart in Marriage

   What does God actually intend marriage to be? In this episode of the House Fires Movement Podcast, Nick Failla and CJ Greiner sit down with Mike and Sharon Harris, who have been married for 56 years and will be the first to tell you they are still learning what it means to be married well. Together, they talk honestly about the highs and lows of marriage, selfishness, conflict, communication, forgiveness, intimacy, expectations, raising children, and the intentional work required to continue growing toward one another through every season. At the center of the conversation is a simple but challenging truth: the goal of marriage is not merely happiness, but oneness that brings glory to God. Marriage has a way of exposing what is in us, inviting us to repentance, humility, grace, and deeper dependence on Jesus. How do we love our spouse when they are not changing? How do we handle conflict without manipulating or attacking? What happens when unresolved pain from our past shows up in our marriage? How do we keep our relationship from becoming little more than two roommates sharing a life? And how can husbands and wives intentionally pursue spiritual, emotional, and physical intimacy for decades? Whether you are preparing for marriage, raising children, walking through a difficult season, or rediscovering one another after the kids leave home, this conversation is full of wisdom about building a marriage centered on Christ. Because ultimately, our marriages are meant to tell a story bigger than ourselves. They are meant to reveal God's heart.

   Ep. 40: God's Heart in Dating

   Are we actually doing a part two?! Yes we are! And… It’s our 40th episode! In the second episode of our relationship series, Nick, CJ, & Leana sit down to talk about God’s Heart in Dating. While Scripture doesn’t give us a modern-day dating manual, it gives us principles that can guide us toward healthy relationships and ultimately toward covenant. In this conversation, we talk about dating with purpose, the importance of character and attraction, wise counsel, healthy boundaries, spiritual compatibility, and learning to discern whether a relationship is actually drawing you closer to Jesus. We also tackle some of the common pressures and misconceptions surrounding Christian dating: Do you have to know someone is “the one”? Does God tell you who to marry? How soon is too soon to get married? What does healthy conflict look like? What boundaries should you have? And what happens when your dating story hasn’t looked perfectly “Christian”? Dating is a process of discernment, and sometimes realizing a relationship shouldn’t lead to marriage isn’t failure at all. It may mean the process did exactly what it was supposed to do. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that God’s grace is bigger than our mistakes. Even when boundaries have been crossed or relationships haven’t been handled well in the past, repentance, humility, wisdom, and healthy boundaries can make room for a beautiful story of redemption. Whether you’re single, currently dating, or preparing for a future relationship, our hope is that this episode helps take some of the pressure out of dating and brings the focus back where it belongs: becoming more like Jesus and pursuing relationships in a way that honors Him.
