The Renew Church Canada Podcast

Jake Troughton explores the often-misunderstood concept of biblical admonishment, shifting the focus from harsh correction to gentle, loving guidance aimed at spiritual maturity. Jake shares how true admonishment is an act of honour that helps individuals realize their full potential in Christ, as illustrated through the biblical stories of Paul and Philemon, and Jethro and Moses. By chasing wisdom and living lives conformed to Christ, believers are equipped to support and build up their neighbours in faith. Ultimately, Jake challenges the church to practice this vital art to strengthen the community and push one another to share the gospel with the nations.

In “Love One Another…more and more,” Jaime Ting reflects on Paul’s prayer in 1 Thessalonians that the church would increase and abound in love for one another and for all. This message challenges us to move beyond good intentions or convenient kindness into a Christlike love marked by both deep affection and tangible action. Jaime reminds us that growing in love means giving more of ourselves to others, caring for those inside and outside the church, and depending on Jesus to transform our hearts.

In week 6 of The Art of One-Anothering, Marek Kowalsky explores the “negative one-anothers” of the New Testament: do not lie to one another, speak against one another, or grumble against one another. These commands are more than simple rules for better behavior; they reveal deeper issues of trust, humility, patience, and our dependence on Jesus. Marek invites us to see everyday restraint as an act of love and discipleship.

In the fifth week of The Art of One-Anothering, Brandon Ting explores the profound calling to bear with one another in love as described in Ephesians 4. While our culture often encourages an I-centered life that treats others as inconveniences, the gospel reveals a new humanity formed by Jesus Christ, who bore our full humanity and sins on the cross. Through practical examples like a pollinator garden and a shared experience of overcoming fear, this message challenges us to move toward the weaknesses of others with gentleness and patience. Ultimately, bearing with one another serves as a powerful announcement to the world that what God bears, God loves.

In week 4 of “The Art of One-Anothering,” Elder Darcy MacCallum explores James 5:16 and the call to “confess your sins to one another.” Moving beyond a casual “sorry,” this message shows how honest confession opens the door to repentance, healing, deeper relationships, and real spiritual transformation. Darcy challenges us to resist defensiveness, practice humility with those we’ve harmed, and discover the grace of Christ in the vulnerable work of confession..

In week 3 of our series The Art of One-Anothering, Executive Director Erik Russell unpacks what it really means to “encourage one another” in a world of shallow affirmation and social media outrage. Drawing from persecuted believers, the life of Barnabas, and the midnight songs of Paul and Silas in prison, he shows how true encouragement runs toward people in their suffering and builds deep, unbreakable “communitas.” Erik also reveals how our worship, our words, and even our behind-the-scenes service become structural support for each other’s faith, especially in hard seasons. This message will challenge you to move beyond polite distance and step into sacrificial, Spirit-filled community.

In the second week of "The Art of One-Anothering" series, Elder Barry Jones explores the vital role of humility as a cornerstone for healthy Christian community. Drawing from 1 Peter 5, he explains that "clothing ourselves" with humility involves putting on the servant's apron, just as Jesus did when He washed His disciples' feet. In a modern culture often defined by entitlement, this message highlights how practical humility—such as being quick to praise and slow to criticize—makes the church more authentically human. Ultimately, Elder Barry reminds us that as we humble ourselves toward one another, we receive God's grace and reflect His nature to a world in need of truth and connection.

In the opening message of The Art of One-Anothering, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky explores what it means to honour one another in a culture that often rewards criticism, pride, and self-promotion. Drawing from Scripture, he shows that honour is not about status or flattery, but about seeing others through the lens of God’s grace. When the church learns to practice real honour, relationships become healthier, humility grows, and the body of Christ becomes stronger. This message challenges us to recover the lost art of giving honour freely, sincerely, and faithfully.

In the final week of Keeping Up With the Corinthians, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky walks through 1 Corinthians 16 and Paul’s closing call to generosity, partnership, and courage. Christian giving is not just about money, but about open hands that serve the work of the gospel. Paul reminds the church that open doors often come with opposition, and faithful believers must stay alert, stand firm, and do everything in love. This message challenges us to live with open hands, open doors, and firm faith.

In this message, Elder Darcy MacCallum tackles a haunting question many believers quietly carry: is living the way of the cross really worth it? Walking through 1 Corinthians 15, he shows how denying or softening the resurrection guts the gospel and leaves our faith, sacrifice, and suffering feeling futile and “in vain.” But if Christ is truly risen, then every act of obedience—even costly, hidden faithfulness—is loaded with eternal meaning. Our future resurrection in real, renewed bodies guarantees that following Jesus now, in the way of the cross, is absolutely worth it.
