Bold Moves with Tim Fisher

God is love.  That's the most simple definition of love.  But our world sees things differently.  Love is one of the most misunderstood words because there is so much context that is often missing when we use the word "love."  In this episode of the Bold Moves Podcast, Pastor Tim & the gang discuss the nuances of different types of love, how we can love people well, and the way that God loves us. Take the Toxic Trait Personality Quiz along with us: https://www.truity.com/test/toxic-traits-personality-quiz

Unthankfulness is a disease that affects every aspect of our lives.  It's shocking to take a step back and realize how not maintaining a spirit of thankfulness in your life can make such a negative impact in every part of your day.  In this episode of the Bold Moves Podcast, Pastor Tim & the gang discuss how a mindset shift can make all the difference.

This week's episode of the Bold Moves Podcast centers around the idea of forgiveness and how it can powerfully change your mindset while following Jesus.  When we fail to forgive, we carry the weight of "what happened" with us everywhere we go, collecting spiritual baggage and dragging it along with us at every turn.  Forgiveness allows us to live our lives free from the toll that weight has on us each and every day.

The Bold Moves Podcast is back!Human relationships are messy.  And if we're being honest, it's easy to get wrapped up into a toxic culture.  So many things that happen in our world and in our personal relationships have the potential to go south quickly.  And more often than we'd like to admit, we're the problem!  In this episode, Pastor Tim and the gang discuss how to determine if toxicity is bleeding into your life and your relationships.

At Crossroads Community Church, we have 3 important values that drive everything that we do.  We Connect People With God, Celebrate the Change, and Contribute to the Community.  In today's episode of the Bold Moves Podcast, Tim and the gang discuss how we can live our lives by those 3 principles over the course of the Summer in 2025 and how Crossroads has made plans to live on mission this summer as well.The Bold Moves Podcast will be taking a break over the summer as we reimagine what the next stretch run of the podcast will look like.  We'll be back with more episodes in the Fall of 2025!

Did you know that every single day we make choices that have the potential to affect the rest of our lives?  Many choices are minor and mundane, but sometimes even the little choices can add up to change our direction in life.  In this episode, Tim and the gang discuss how choices have changed our lives along the way, and how we need to view the power of choices if we want to follow Jesus every single day.  Life is choices, choices have consequences.  Make right choices!

The Bible is clear that taking care of widows and orphans is a top priority if we intend to boldly follow Jesus.  But if we're being honest, for many of us, foster care rarely crosses our minds.  We can get so busy with our day-to-day activities that we have the tendency to never look beyond our regular circles to ask the question of "What would Jesus do?".  On today's episode, we talk with Melvin Manning, Jr. (Member of Board of Directors for Bashor Children's Home located in Goshen, IN) about his personal journey through the foster care system and how we have the ability to make an impact by stepping up to serve as a foster family.

When we attempt to live a life that follows the path that God has laid out for us, it's so important to always listen to hear His voice.  He's constantly leading and guiding us through the journey of life, and where we start is rarely where we end.  We talk with special guest Micah Johnson (Goshen Campus Pastor, Crossroads Community Church) about the journey she has had while following the call on her life, and how her immediate "yes" has enabled her to find success in ways she never dreamed possible.

When it comes to making bold moves, it's so important that we also tell of the events of what happens in our stories.  Courage is contagious, and our choice to tell our story will help others to make a bold move themselves.  And as Christians, we have the greatest story ever told in the story of Jesus!  This week we talk to Dave Roberts (Lead Pastor of Montrose Church in Montrose, CA) as he discusses the way that Hollywood tells stories, and how the Church can learn from their approach.

Bold moves can so often present challenges that you didn't anticipate or predict.  But making bold moves is crucial regardless, because your future and your legacy depend on it.  It's even more difficult when those bold moves affect more than just yourself, but instead affect an entire global movement.  Today we talk with Stan Reeder (Church of the Nazarene Regional Director for USA/Canada) about how resetting the culture of the Nazarene denomination has made an incredible and positive impact around the continent, and lives are truly being changed as a result.
