Beyond the Breakwater Podcast 

Messiah is a church that is mobilized for the sake of Christ. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and this can only happen when the church goes beyond the breakwater, through the waves of fear, discomfort, and doubt, and into the open seas to be a rescue ship for those who would otherwise drown.

 

The Beyond the Breakwater Podcast releases new episodes every Monday.
