Owls for Christ Podcast: Wisdom in Christ

4/9/25 - Are you a Jonah? - Message from Coach Hayes
Listeners are invited into a powerful, personal devotional from Coach Garrison Hayes. Using the story of Jonah as a mirror for self-reflection, Coach Hayes shares his own struggles with obedience, spiritual storms, and finding peace through surrender to God's will. Through humor, honesty, and a call to action, he challenges students and listeners alike to examine their walk with God, reflect on their direction in life, and step into the mission field around them. This is more than a Bible story—it’s a real-life reminder that God’s grace meets us even in the belly of the fish.

4/2/25 - Message from Cobie Herrin - Mount Paran
Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3, Cobie encourages young listeners to stay true to their faith, even when the world pressures them to conform.
He describes how these three courageous men refused to worship a golden statue, despite facing death in a fiery furnace. Miraculously, they survived unscathed—with a fourth figure appearing alongside them, believed to be Jesus. The takeaway? Jesus walks through the fire with us.
Cobie connects this powerful biblical story to the challenges of middle school life, where identity is still forming and outside influences like music, media, and peer pressure can lead kids astray. He urges students to surround themselves with positive influences, be unashamed of their faith, and understand their true identity is found in Christ—not the world.
The episode wraps up with an invitation to an upcoming Easter play at his church and a reminder that no one walks alone—Jesus is always with us.
“You can change this school through Jesus Christ.”

3/19/25 - Message from Alex Rosas - Cedar Hill Baptist Church
In this episode, Alex, the student pastor at Cedar Hill Baptist Church, explores the question: How do we get to God? He discusses three common paths people often take—family, knowledge, and good deeds—thinking they will lead to God. However, Alex reminds us that no matter how hard we try, these paths cannot bring us to God. The good news is that Jesus Christ came down to meet us where we are. As John 14:6 says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Instead of trying to climb the mountain to reach God, we are invited to trust in Jesus, who made the way for us. Tune in to reflect on whether you’re trying to get to God or trusting in the One who came to get you.

3/12/25 - Message from Alex Rosas - Cedar Hill Baptist Church
Following Jesus comes with a cost. In this episode, Alex Rosas, youth pastor at Cedar Hill Baptist Church, unpacks Luke 9:57-62 and explores what it truly means to commit to Christ. He highlights three key sacrifices every believer must make: comfort, responsibilities, and desires. While stepping out in faith can be uncomfortable and require prioritizing God over worldly pursuits, the eternal reward far outweighs the cost. Alex also shares a powerful illustration of God's perfect design and how Jesus' sacrifice bridges the gap between brokenness and redemption. Are you ready to count the cost and follow Jesus wholeheartedly? Tune in now!

3/6/25 - Message from David Seals - Bruce Gap Community Baptist Church
In this heartfelt message, Pastor David Seals reminds us what it means to be human—how we all face tough decisions, challenges, and moments of weakness. Speaking from Acts 16, he shares the powerful story of Paul and Silas, encouraging us to find strength in our struggles, to pray, praise, and be a light for others—even in the darkest places. Pastor Seals reminds us that we are always on a mission field, no matter where we are, and that God can use each of us to make a difference. "Would you be that difference for somebody?"
Be inspired to stand firm, shine bright, and be the reason someone else finds hope.
