We have a very special episode of the BTW Podcast this week -- our 2025 Wrapped episode! We'll look back at a whole year of podcasting together, highlighting some key moments from each series, and then look ahead to what's coming in 2026. Our hope throughout this episode is you get to laugh with us and reflect on what God has done in your life and how he has met you in personal ways throughout this year.

Join Amelia Rhodes, Stephen Lewis and Pastor Jeff Manion, in S6E15 of the Beyond The Weekend Podcast!

Both of which we didn't get to dive into during the sermon — you'll definitely want to tune in to this final episode of EPIC!
