Permission to Feel: Happiness
Yesterday00:32:29Tap to summarizeMany of us grow up with the underlying belief that the ultimate goal of the Christian life is to be happy all the time. But the truth is, Jesus wasn't always happy; He experienced the full scope of human emotion without ever breaking relationship with the Father. In this week's message, Pastor Brian walks us through Psalm 8 and the permission to feel happiness and joy. Drawing from Walter Brueggemann's framework of orientation, disorientation, and new orientation, this episode explores what to do when life aligns beautifully, how to handle the dark seasons of trauma and panic attacks, and how supernatural joy can ultimately coexist with our deepest grief.
Transcribe →Permission to Feel: Fear
1w ago00:28:14Tap to summarizeWhat would you do if you were not afraid? In week two of our summer series, Lead Pastor Kelly tackles the heavy, universal emotion of fear and anxiety. Looking at Psalm 55, we dive into King David's raw cry during a painful season of betrayal by a close friend. We explore our instinctual trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, and learn that fear was never meant to be the CEO of our lives, but rather an assistant giving us critical information. Discover the ancient, life-changing shift from trying to self-regulate alone to co-regulating with God and a safe church community.
Transcribe →Psalms: Permission to Feel
2w ago00:28:46Tap to summarizeWhen we invite Jesus into our hearts, we often try to bury our past, our trauma, and our pain, hoping it will all just vanish. But neglected emotions don't disappear; they are stored inside of us. In this series opener, we look at why unexpressed feelings always find a way out, and how the Book of Psalms has served as humanity's guide to emotional processing for millennia. Diving into Psalm 73 and the unexpected core emotion of surprise, this episode tackles the deep confusion we face when life doesn't go according to our plans, and the beautiful way God meets us when we are disillusioned.
Transcribe →How Do I Follow Jesus?
4w ago00:33:46Tap to summarizeAre you an apprentice of Jesus or just a consumer of church culture? Pastor Kelly tackles the discipleship crisis in America and challenges us to move past "tier-system" faith into true, life-altering transformation. In this message, Pastor Kelly dives into the Gospel of Mark to explore the radical nature of Jesus' call: "Come, follow me." Pulling back the curtain on the intense cultural context of ancient Jewish schooling, she contrasts the deep, life-long commitment of a true rabbi's apprentice with the consumer-driven "MLM culture" that shapes modern American Christianity. If you've found yourself treating faith like a gym day pass, or if you've quietly "un-enrolled" from spiritual practices due to burnout, deconstruction, or church hurt, this episode is a gentle but urgent invitation to reconstruct and re-engage. Discover the daily rhythm of what it means to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did.
Transcribe →How Can a Good God Allow Suffering?
May 1100:30:37Tap to summarizeHow do we reconcile an all-powerful Creator with the visceral "ache" of a broken world? This message moves past shallow religious platitudes to explore why a mature faith must hold space for both the cross and the resurrection. Discover how to meet the God who doesn't just explain our suffering, but chooses to suffer alongside us.
Transcribe →How Do We Determine What is Right?
May 400:31:22Tap to summarizeIn a world of complex choices and competing philosophies, how do we truly discern right from wrong? Pastor Trey examines the limitations of human reason and explores how the witness of Scripture, communal wisdom, and the Holy Spirit form us into people of character.
Transcribe →How Do I Pray?
Apr 2700:27:05Tap to summarizeIn this message from our Foundations of Faith series, Pastor Jonita explores Luke 11 and the true heart of prayer. Moving beyond rigid rituals, she reminds us that prayer is simply an invitation to a conversation with a Father who already knows our needs. Whether you're reciting the Lord's Prayer or a simple "Jesus, fix it," your foundation in Christ is what carries you through.
Transcribe →Why Do We Sing?
Apr 2000:27:58Tap to summarizeWhy is singing such a central pillar of the Christian faith? This week, we continue our Foundations of Faith series by looking at the purpose of corporate worship and how singing shapes our hearts and our community. Please Note: Due to a brief technical issue with our livestream, the first two minutes of this recording are missing. Audio begins shortly after the introduction.
Transcribe →Why Church Still Matters
Apr 1400:30:53Tap to summarizeWhy does church matter anymore? In a culture shaped by convenience, individualism, and digital connection, it's easy to wonder if church is still necessary. In this message from Acts 2:42–47, we explore how the early church modeled something deeper; offering substance over slogans, community over isolation, transcendence over emptiness, and hope in a world that often feels limited. This is a call to rediscover what the church was always meant to be.
Transcribe →I Am the True Vine
Apr 600:30:43Tap to summarizeWhat looks dead isn't always dead. Learn how abiding in Jesus, the True Vine, brings hope, new life, and fruitfulness- even in seasons of pruning. Encounter the risen Christ and discover resurrection in your life today.
