Mars Hill Anywhere
If church has left you tired, disappointed, suspicious, or disconnected, you are not alone. Mars Hill Anywhere exists for people trying to rebuild their faith without pretending their pain never happened. Every week, I share honest teaching, practical encouragement, and real conversations that help people find their way back to God. Whether they attend online, in person, or somewhere in between. No performance. No religious games. Just truth, growth, and grace for real life.
You have one bar with God and you know it.
Grace and peace to you this week. Sunday we start Reconnect, and I have been waiting on this one for weeks. One church, two campuses, one family. RECONNECT, Week 1: NO BARS. Starts Sunday. You have not missed church in months. You also cannot remember the last time you talked to God about something real. Your phone shows five bars in every room you walk into. Your connection to God shows one, and you stopped noticing because everything else in your life still runs fine without it. That is...
Now you know what God said. And what He didn't.
Grace and peace to you this week. Sunday we closed CHECK YOUR SOURCE online, and the Spirit of the Lord was in that room. I felt it on the other side of the screen. If you were there, thank you. If you missed it, keep reading, because I'm not letting you miss what He said. One church, two campuses, one family. CHECK YOUR SOURCE, Week 5: GOD SAID NO Five Sundays ago we started checking the sources on sentences church people repeat like Scripture. God won't give you more than you can handle....
Your unanswered prayer is not a verdict.
Grace and peace to you this week. Rain hit our attendance on Sunday. It did not hit the Spirit of the Lord. He showed up on every screen and in every living room where somebody logged on. If you were there, thank you. If the weather kept you out, keep reading, because I'm not letting you miss what He said. One church, two campuses, one family. Storm or sunshine, you belong to it.

You were sure. God wasn't talking.
Grace and peace to you this week. Sunday the rain came down hard enough to leave empty seats in McCook. Some of you looked out the window at 9:45 and made the call. I understand. But ask anybody who came, or anybody who logged on from the couch, and they'll tell you the same thing. The Spirit of the Lord was in that room. The rain thinned the crowd. It did not thin the presence. One church, two campuses, one family. Wet shoes or house slippers, you were part of it. CHECK YOUR SOURCE, Week 3:...
You've been waiting for the reason. There isn't one.
You've been waiting for the reason. There isn't one. Not for the divorce. Not for the diagnosis. Not for the year that took everything and handed you a lesson you never asked to learn. "Everything happens for a reason" is what people say when they don't know what else to say. It sounds like faith. It's avoidance wearing a verse that isn't actually in the Bible. This Sunday we call that out by name. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR A REASON is week three of CHECK YOUR SOURCE, and it's about what actually...
That verse is not in your Bible. We're in the room Sunday.
Grace and peace to you this week. Sunday we checked the source on the line that runs more of your life than you probably want to admit. One church, two campuses, one family. That's true whether you were watching from your kitchen table or sitting in a car with the engine off, not going in yet. This Sunday September 20, 10:30 AM Central, live in person and online. CHECK YOUR SOURCE, Week 3: IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR A REASON. If somebody handed you that line at a funeral or in a hospital hallway,...
That verse was never about your suffering.
Grace and peace to you this week. Sunday we opened a brand new series, and the first message met a lot of you somewhere you don't usually admit to being on a Sunday morning. One church, two campuses, one family. That's true whether you watched from your kitchen table or you're reading this from a hospital chair somewhere else in the country. Mark Your Calendar: In-Person Returns September 20 Mars Hill Anywhere gathers in the room once a month. This Sunday, September 13, we're online only...
No building this Sunday. Same 10:30 message.
Reader, quick update before Sunday. This week, Mars Hill Anywhere is online only. No in-person gathering. If you were planning to walk through the doors Sunday morning, save the drive. The building is closed. The service is not. CHECK YOUR SOURCE, Week 1: More Than You Can Handle You did not fail the test. You were handed a weight that verse never promised to keep off you. "God will never give you more than you can handle" is not in your Bible. What is in your Bible is a temptation verse,...
God never promised manageable trouble.
Good morning, Reader. Three days ago, two churches raised one prayer in one room. Here is what actually happened, and where we go from here. The Gathering What happened at The Gathering was more than a joint service. As we worshiped alongside our sisters and brothers from Ebenezer Baptist Church, shared a meal, and talked with one another, something beautiful happened. There was joy in the room. There was connection. It reminded us that we are part of one body, serving one Savior and carrying...
Grief does not require a death.
Good morning, Reader. Four days from now, Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church walks into a room with Mars Hill Anywhere for the first joint service either congregation has held in years. That is not a small thing. Two pulpits do not share one microphone by accident. This Sunday: The Gathering The Gathering: One City. One Savior. One Worship Experience. This Sunday, Mars Hill and Ebenezer combine into one 11:00 AM service, done by 12:30. Tag-team welcome and announcements, one combined worship...
