  • Way of Wisdom: Wise like Jesus
    Dec 8 2024

    Join us each month as we dive deeper into the heart of LAST month's Sunday sermons. In this podcast, our campus pastors Dan Painter and Jared Seeland share the insights and reflections they didn't have time to include in their messages. Together, we explore overlooked details, thought-provoking ideas, and personal stories that enrich our understanding of that month’s theme: Wise like Jesus. Each episode invites you to reflect more deeply on the character traits of Christ and discover new ways to apply His teachings in everyday life. Tune in and uncover the ‘extra’ that brings our faith journey into focus. And of course, any time you would like to listen to any of the sermons our pastors have shared, simply go to gpn.church/sermons for our Naperville campus and gpp.church/sermons for our Plainfield campus.
