  B&R #038 | Our Church’s First Baptism, 24 Years Later

  Aug 14, 202634 min

  This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Jordan sit down with Adam, the very first person ever baptized at Genesis Metro Church. More than 24 years ago, before Genesis Metro had the history, stories, and people it has today, Adam’s life became one of the first visible reminders that God was already at work. In this episode, Tim and Adam look back on how they first met through what seemed like a random job, how that relationship eventually led to conversations about faith, and how Adam ultimately gave his life to Christ and was baptized. What started as one changed life became part of the foundation of a much bigger story. Adam shares what following Jesus has looked like over the decades since that baptism, including building a family of his own and maintaining a strong faith through the different seasons of life. Tim and Carrie also get the opportunity to tell Adam what his story meant to Genesis Metro in those earliest days, when every testimony was evidence that the mission was worth pursuing. It is a powerful reminder that we rarely know how far one act of obedience, one conversation, or one changed life will reach. Toward the end of the episode, Adam also opens up about his brother Josh’s battle with cancer. We would love for the Bourne & Raised community to join us in praying for Josh and his family during this season. This episode is about looking back with gratitude, celebrating a life of faithfulness, and remembering that behind every number, baptism, and church milestone is a person whose story matters.

  B&R #037 | The Importance Of Culture (Part 2)

  Aug 7, 202631 min

  This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Jordan, Titus, and Mark continue their conversation about the importance of culture by taking a closer look at the heart of the prodigal son’s older brother. While the father celebrates the return of his lost son, the older brother remains outside, angry and unwilling to join the celebration. His response reveals how easy it is to become focused on comparison, entitlement, and personal frustration instead of rejoicing over a life that has been restored. Jesus tells us that there is celebration in heaven when one sinner repents. That truth inspires a phrase discussed throughout this episode: “Make heaven crowded and angels tired.” The goal is not merely to build a successful church or attract a crowd. It is to reach so many people with the gospel that heaven is constantly celebrating lives being changed. As believers, we should never become annoyed by the celebration, resentful of grace, or more concerned with our preferences than with people coming home to God. A healthy culture celebrates salvation, restoration, repentance, and every step someone takes toward Jesus. At the end of the episode, Rodrigo shares a powerful personal testimony about realizing that he has experienced life as both brothers. At different points in his faith journey, he has been the younger brother who needed to come home and the older brother who struggled with what was happening around him. His story reminds us that the parable is not simply about deciding which brother is worse. It is an invitation to examine our own hearts and respond to the grace of the Father. This is Part 2 of our conversation on the importance of culture.

  B&R #036 | The Importance Of Culture (Part 1)

  Jul 31, 202627 min

  This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Jordan, Titus, and Mark discuss the story of the prodigal son and the celebration that takes place when someone who was lost finally comes home. Jesus describes a father who welcomes his son with open arms, restores him, and throws a celebration in his honor. But while the father rejoices, the older brother refuses to join the party. Instead of celebrating his brother’s life change, he focuses on resentment, comparison, and everything he believes is unfair. As believers, we are called to celebrate when lost people encounter Jesus. Yet it is possible to become so focused on preferences, frustrations, or what we think should have happened that we miss the movement of God taking place right in front of us. The conversation connects this truth to Genesis Metro’s Summer Soundtrack series and the song “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Despite the band’s success, conflict was growing behind the scenes. The sun was shining, but they were still looking at the rain. That idea raises an important question for every church, family, and organization: Are we creating a culture that celebrates what God is doing, or are we always searching for the rain? Culture is shaped by what we emphasize, what we tolerate, and what we choose to celebrate. When souls are being saved and lives are being changed, we should be the first people at the party. This is Part 1 of our conversation on the importance of culture.

  B&R #034 | Does Secular Music Belong In Church?

  Jul 18, 202633 min

  This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Jordan, and Titus unpack the vision behind Genesis Metro Church's newest sermon series, Summer Soundtrack. In this unique series, a secular song is played between worship and the sermon, serving as a bridge into a biblical message rooted in Scripture. The goal isn't to celebrate the music itself, but to meet people where they are, earn a hearing, and point them to Jesus through the truth found in God's Word. The conversation also addresses one of the biggest questions surrounding the series: Should secular music ever have a place in church? Tim, Jordan, and Titus respond to common concerns from Christians who believe the answer is no, discussing the difference between endorsing culture and redeeming opportunities to reach people. They explore the biblical principle of becoming "all things to all people" without compromising the truth of the gospel, and why building bridges can create opportunities for life change. Whether you agree with the approach or have questions about it, this episode is an honest conversation about evangelism, wisdom, and how the Church can faithfully engage the culture without being shaped by it.
