  • Wholeheartedly Follow Jesus Message
    Jun 24 2025

    Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast! I’m Jonathan Gouthier, your host and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut. In today’s episode, we’re going to be listening to a message by our Lead Pastor, Steve Darr, where we need to evaluate how we are following Jesus. Are we doing it half-heartedly or wholeheartedly? Let’s listen in and find out what it means to be a wholehearted follower of Jesus…

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • What it means to follow the Lord wholeheartedly
    • How following the Lord edifies others
    • Why do we all have a divided heart
    • What happens when we are willing to go for God

    Following the Lord wholeheartedly means that we follow the Lord completely. To follow Him completely means to follow Him utterly, absolutely, with heart and soul, without reservation. It means to follow Him in all that we are, in all that we do, and in all that we say and do, under every circumstance we might face.

  • What Should We Be Doing Conversation
    Jun 17 2025

    Hello and welcome I’m Jonathan Gouthier host of the Faith First Podcast and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington CT. In this episode, I’ll be joined with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr as we have a conversation about how we are to be living our lives in God’s purpose and plan. Welcome Steve.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • As you suggested in your message, we are going to use journalistic questions to find out what we should be doing up to the end. So, What is going to happen?
    • When is it going to happen?
    • Why will these end times things spoken of in the Bible happen?
    • Who will all of these catastrophic things happen to?

    In response to end-time prophecy, what should we do? It begins with repentance of our personal sins. We are not only to stop sinning, but turn to God for how He desires for us to live now and in the future. This means obeying God’s commands. We must watch our own lives and be doing the things God wants us to do.

    You may have more questions than answers from this episode and we would love to connect with you and answer any questions you might have about how to live a godly life. You can find us online at www.firstcong.org and send us a direct message from our website. We hope you’ll hit the subscribe button below and be alerted to when a new Faith First Podcast episode launches and until then, live your life by doing what God desires faith first.

  • What Should We Be Doing Message
    Jun 10 2025

    You’ve dialed into the Faith First Podcast. Welcome, I’m Jonathan Gouthier, a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut. Have you ever asked yourself “what does God require of me now that I know Jesus?” We all should be asking “what should we be doing?” Even as the last days start approaching. God has revealed to us in Scripture what we need to know and how we are to live. Join me as we listen in on this pivotal message by our Lead Pastor Steven Darr…

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • What it means to be ready for when the Lord calls us home
    • Why we cannot know the exact day or hour
    • What events are predicted in the last days
    • How will the last days happen

    End-time Christians are called to do one thing: they are to practice holiness and do good to others wherever and whenever they can. In other words, we are supposed to work the works of God up to the time of Jesus’ return. The only certainty about the end times is that it will end. If we knew the time, if we knew the exact hour, we would wait until the last minute to do the work God has called us to do, If this is your first listen in on the podcast, welcome and we invite you to select the notification bell below to be notified when the next episode is launched. And until then, work the works of God faith first.
