Sin has always separated us from God, not just through what we do, but through the lies we believe. Lies about who He is, what is good, and what will satisfy us. From the very beginning, those lies have pulled humanity away from the One who made us for relationship with Him. Yet even in our rebellion, God never stopped pursuing us. In the story of Hosea, we see His heart to buy back what was lost and love those who turned away. Jesus paid the price to bring us home, offering a love that forgives, restores, and makes us new. This message was recorded live at the University of Manitoba on October 19, 2025. It’s part of our heart behind Pray for Manitoba; to see a generation return to God, encounter His love, and live in relationship with Him.

In this episode, we dive into James 1 and talk about how to find perspective in the middle of life’s challenges. The goal isn’t to glorify suffering but to see how God can use it to shape our faith and keep us grounded when life feels uncertain. Together, we’ll look at three things trials can develop in us: Reliance on God, Realness in our walk, and Reflection on His faithfulness. Whether you’re new to faith, just figuring it out, or you’ve been walking with Jesus for years, this conversation is here to encourage you that God is at work even when life feels messy.

In this episode, we dive into Romans 3:9–25 and are reminded of a simple but powerful truth: we can’t save ourselves. No amount of effort or “being good enough” could make us right with God — but Jesus stepped in, gave His life, and offered us grace we could never earn. That truth doesn’t just change our lives; it’s meant to move us to action. If the gospel really is this good, we can’t keep it to ourselves. This is a conversation to remind us what Jesus has done and to challenge us to live boldly and share the hope we’ve been given.

Welcome to the Open Space Podcast. In this episode, Isaac, shares his journey and the transformative power of embracing God as our Father. Drawing from personal anecdotes and Romans 8, Isaac dives into the significance of viewing God through the lens of a loving Father, encouraging us to approach Him boldly. He challenges the notion of earning God's favor and instead focuses on understanding and accepting His grace and mercy. The message delves deep into the Father’s love, trustworthiness, and how recognizing our identity as God's children grants us the authority to expand His kingdom. It explores themes of love, trust, redemption, and the power we hold through prayer, emphasizing God's unwavering support through our faith journey.  

Welcome back to the Open Space Podcast! At Open Space, our heart is to give young adults in Manitoba a place to gather, build community, and encounter Jesus together. In this episode, we talk about revival — not just as a big church word, but as God bringing life where there’s been decline or emptiness. Revival is about more of Him in everything. We’ll touch on what revival really means, why God’s presence is enough, and how we can posture ourselves with humility, confidence, and prayer. Whether you’ve been part of church your whole life or you’re just curious about faith, this is a reminder that God is still moving and wants to meet us right where we are.

The following audio we recorded at Open Space Event that occurred in July of 2024 in Manitoba.

On this episode of the Open Space Podcast, we talk about Grandma’s Story and one of the most well-known moments in the Bible — Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. Just like her, we all look for meaning in different places, but Jesus offers something better: Himself. This conversation is all about slowing down, being honest about what we’re chasing, and seeing how Jesus brings real life, peace, and hope. Whether you’re brand new to faith or you’ve been around church for years, it’s a reminder that He’s exactly who our hearts have been looking for. At Open Space, our heart is to give young adults in Manitoba a place to gather, encounter Jesus, and build community together.
