  • Faith on Mission: Everyday Ways to Share Jesus
    May 4 2026

    Welcome to The Change, cultivating the difference Jesus makes. In this episode the staff of First Baptist Gordonsville reconnect after Easter and dive into what it means to live faith on mission where you are. They discuss biblical foundations like the Great Commission and examples from Jesus (Zacchaeus, the woman at the well), the power and promptings of the Holy Spirit (Acts, Philip and the Ethiopian), and the importance of obedience over results. The conversation includes honest personal stories about missed opportunities, practical everyday ways to start gospel conversations, guarding your testimony, setting healthy boundaries when building relationships with non-believers, and relying on God rather than fear or performance.

    Listeners will hear encouraging application: be faithful, cultivate consistent Bible study and prayer, let the Holy Spirit prompt you, and begin with simple testimony-sharing. The hosts close by reminding listeners that success in evangelism is obedience and faithfulness — so "stay salty."

  • How Music Shapes the Christian Walk
    Mar 2 2026

    Welcome to The Change, cultivating the difference Jesus makes. In this mountain‑retreat episode Brother Ryan sits down with worship pastor Jason Ligon, youth leader AJ, and Brother Brandon to explore the role of music in a believer’s spiritual walk.

    Topics include personal walk‑up songs, Scripture on singing (Psalms, Colossians, Revelation), how music shapes belief and emotion, the importance of sound doctrine in lyrics, music’s power in hardship (dementia, grief), and practical ministry tips for youth and congregational worship.

    Key takeaways: worship must be Christ‑centered, heartfelt, and doctrinally faithful; music prepares hearts for Scripture; try practical steps like a 30‑day Christian music challenge; and let songs drive you deeper into God’s Word. Episode closes with Colossians 3:16 and a prayer.

  • Finding God's Will: Faith Over Fear
    Jan 26 2026

    On this episode of The Change, host Bro. Ryan and the team return from the holiday break to tackle the big question: How do you find God’s will? Through candid conversation and scripture, they unpack what it really means to seek God—moving beyond fear and step-by-step checklists to a relationship shaped by obedience, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.

    Topics include practical guidance from Proverbs 3:5–6, Ephesians 2:10, James 4:8 and 1 Kings 19; common myths (is God hiding His will, do you need a dramatic sign, or does God only speak to certain people?); the role of Scripture, prayer and the Spirit in discernment; and how small acts of faith and using your gifts cultivate clarity. The hosts share personal stories, ministerial insights, and pastoral encouragement about timing, testing, and staying faithful in the small things.

    Listeners will leave encouraged to trust God’s presence over perfection, to use scripture and prayer as their roadmap, to obey in the little things, and to take faithful steps without paralyzing anxiety over making the “wrong” choice.
