Vaughn Forest Weekly Message Podcast

In this episode of the other six podcast, we explore Philippians 4:4–7 and what it truly means to experience “peace in Christ Jesus,” especially in a season that often feels chaotic. We examine how staying connected to Jesus as our source of life alters our expectations for a “perfect” Christmas and frees us from the pressure to perform. We discuss the dangers of comparing our lives to someone else’s highlight reel and how gratitude fosters genuine contentment. We also unpack what it means to honor family and others we disagree with, following Jesus’ example of responding with grace instead of reacting to triggers. Finally, we discuss the themes of gratitude, honor, peace, and contentment, and offer a simple first step for anyone who feels far from God this Christmas.

This week on The Other Six Podcast, we wrap up our BLESS series with a powerful reminder: God wants to bless someone’s life through your story. We walk through what it really means when Jesus says, “If you try to save your life, you’ll lose it; but if you give up your life for Me and the Good News, you’ll save it.” Instead of fear, this verse calls us into freedom. We talk about why giving our lives away to Jesus actually leads to a deeper, fuller life, and why your personal story plays such a big part in that mission.

This week, we’re diving into the first “S” in BLESS — Serving. Jesus didn’t just talk about love; He demonstrated it through humble service, even washing the feet of those who would deny and betray Him. What does that reveal about His heart, and what does it mean for how we serve others today? In a world that celebrates self-promotion, how can we live out Jesus’ example of love and leadership through service? Join the conversation and discover what it means to serve like Jesus!

In this week’s episode of the Other Six podcast, we unpacked how sharing a meal can be a powerful way to share God’s love. Jesus often used meals to show God’s love—and we can, too. We explore how sharing a table can open hearts, create connection, and lead others closer to Him. Join the conversation as we discuss what it means to eat purposefully.

Why is listening such a big deal in our faith? In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we dive into how spiritual influencers listen for God’s nudges, how Jesus modeled this in His journey through Samaria, and how we can shift from talking about faith to guiding others toward it. If you’ve ever wanted to hear God more clearly—or love others more deeply—this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we dive deeper into our BLESS series with this week’s message, “Begin with Prayer.” We unpack what it really means that God wants to use your prayers to change someone else’s world. Why does God choose to partner with us through prayer? Why did Jesus—God Himself—take time to pray? And what do we do when our prayers feel unanswered? Whether you’re new to prayer or have been walking with God for years, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to begin every day—and every opportunity to bless others—with prayer.

We just kicked off a new series called BLESS, and in this episode, we’re unpacking why it matters, not just on Sundays, but in everyday life. What does it mean that we’re made in God’s image? Why did God bless Abraham, and what does that have to do with us today? We also talk about how faith plays into all of this, why God uses ordinary people (like us!) for His mission, and what living “on mission” really looks like, spoiler: it’s probably not what you think. Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for a while, this conversation is all about understanding how we’ve been blessed on purpose—so we can be a blessing to others.

In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we dive into what it means to live the 3D life Jesus demonstrated — a life lived up with the Father, in with community, and out to the world. We talk about what happens when we fall out of balance, how to make prayer a daily priority, and why Scripture feeds our souls just like bread fuels our bodies. We also unpack how living “in” with others multiplies our faith, how to find hope in seasons of struggle, and what it truly means to leave a legacy that reflects the image of God.

In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we dive deep into what it means to be part of God’s family and how our spiritual family takes priority over even our physical one. From Matthew 12 and Mark 10 to the realities of modern family dynamics, we explore how God designed us to live in relationship—not isolation—and why we need one another. Together we’ll unpack the shared experiences of different family types, the challenges of division in our homes, and the practical ways to keep God at the center of marriage, family, and church life. Whether single, married, blended, or navigating extended family during the holidays, this conversation offers encouragement, biblical insight, and real-life application for building strong families rooted in Christ.

This week, we discuss the truth that every mom makes a difference. From biblical examples like Lois and Eunice to modern-day moms, we explore how women shape faith, family, and the future. We’ll look at the four types of moms—the Super Mom, Helicopter Mom, Chauffeur Mom, and Mentor Mom—and how to grow into the role that leaves a lasting legacy. Whether raising kids or mentoring others, this episode will encourage you that your influence matters more than you know.
