This Sunday Is Online Only 🎥 You Could Feel It In The Room…
Happy Thursday Reader! If you were in the room on Sunday, you already know—God met us in a powerful way. The worship? 🔥 The Word? 🔥 The response? Even louder than the noise life throws at us. And if you missed it, don’t feel left out feel invited. Because this moment is bigger than a service. It’s a shift. Coming Soon!!! New Life Group Study: Purpose in the Noise Life gets loud. And when it does, it’s easy to lose clarity, confidence, and direction. That’s why we created a new 6-week Life...
🤲🏾 Still Trusting, Even When You’re Tired?
Happy Tuesday Reader! Sunday’s message hit home for a lot of us. We ran a quick poll during the livestream, and 88% of people said this one line felt most real: “I’m tired, but I’m still trusting.” Maybe that’s you, too. You’re not doubting God. You’re just running on empty. But here’s the good news: God sees that kind of faith. The quiet kind. The kind that shows up anyway. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart. Psalm 73:26 (NLT) I want to...
This Sunday Is Online Only 🎥 Don’t Let Sunday Be Your Only Fuel
Happy Friday Reader! Let’s be honest. Some weeks take more out of you than others. By Friday, most people are running low. Emotionally. Mentally. Spiritually. The mask is back on. The good habits are slipping. The weight feels heavier again. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know this: You don’t need to fake strength to stay faithful. You just need a reset. 🧠Scripture Rese “Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10 That doesn’t mean do nothing. It means pause long enough to hear...

This Sunday Is Online Only 🎥 Family, Faith, and a Word You Needed 🎯
Happy Hump Day Reader! Some weeks feel heavier than others. And yet, here you are. Still showing up. Still open. Still growing. That says a lot about your faith, your grit, and your heart. This past weekend, our family gathered in Elkhart, Indiana, for a reunion that brought together more than 200 people from every generation. It was more than a celebration. It reminded me that legacy matters. Connection matters. And the love we pass down is one of the greatest gifts we can give. That made...
This Sunday Is Online Only 🎥 Church Was Never Meant to Be a Buffet 🍽️
Happy Hump Day Reader! Every time I go to The Cheesecake Factory, I feel overwhelmed. Not because of the crowd or the prices, but that massive menu. It’s packed with options, but I always end up picking the same thing. That’s how church feels for a lot of people: too many choices, but no clear direction. Teaching Highlight: Sermon Replay – “This Is Why You’re Not Growing Spiritually (No One Told You This)” If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right things” but still not growing...
This Sunday Is Online Only 🎥 We Can’t Reach People in 2025 With 1995 Thinking
Happy Tuesday Reader! I don’t say this often, but this past Sunday felt like a wake-up call for all of us. I preached a message that’s been pressing on me for months: “The Most Ignored (but Needed) Verse in Church Today.” It’s rooted in 1 Chronicles 12:32 and the reminder that real leaders don’t just follow trends, they read the times and know what to do. A church stuck in 1995 won't survive in a 2025 world. Here’s What You Need to Know This Week: What: Sunday Worship (Online Only) When:...
🗣️ Your Voice Was Never Meant to Stay Silent
Happy Hump Day! Have you ever felt like your faith had a mute button? You believe in God. You want to do what’s right. But in moments that matter most, it’s easy to stay silent to shrink back, keep the peace, or convince yourself that someone else will speak up. This week’s message wasn’t about noise. It was about clarity about finding your voice in a world full of chaos, compromise, and confusion. Because the truth is: God didn’t save you to keep you safe. He called you to speak. If you...
