My Story, My Song, Part 4: Spirit of God // Joel Thomas Jul 13, 2025

If you’re curious, cautious, or somewhere in between, the Spirit invites you to lean in, let go, and be led.

My Story, My Song, Part 3: Battle Belongs // Andy Stanley Jul 06, 2025

When we choose to fight our battles on our knees, we surrender control and invite God to do what only he can do.

My Story, My Song, Part 2: God Is Love // Andy Stanley Jun 29, 2025

Whatever picture we have of God isn’t enough.

My Story, My Song, Part 1: Bigger Than I Thought // Andy Stanley Jun 22, 2025

When we see God for who he is, we’re able to trust him even deeper.

Challenge Accepted, Part 3: Depending // Joel Thomas Jun 15, 2025

Our trials, temptations, and tension shape us—and they have a way of revealing who or what we’re truly depending on.

Challenge Accepted, Part 2: In & Around // Joel Thomas Jun 08, 2025

During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what’s going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what’s going on in us.

Challenge Accepted, Part 1: Choosing Hard // Joel Thomas Jun 01, 2025

The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.

Ultimate Survivor // Clay Cooney May 18, 2025

Jesus didn’t come to help us win at survival. He came to show us how to surrender so we could truly live.

When GOOD Becomes god, Part 2: Order of Operations // Samer Massad May 11, 2025

The problem isn’t what we love, it’s the order in which we love. Disordered love leads to disordered desires—and ultimately a disordered life.

When GOOD Becomes god, Part 1: Idol Factory // Samer Massad May 04, 2025

All of us are tempted to take “good things” and worship them as the “ultimate things” that shape our purpose and identity.

Grace & Truth: The Beach Version // Andy Stanley Apr 27, 2025

God doesn’t size you up and write you off—and neither should you. In God's eyes, you're invited to move forward, not remain stuck in the past.

Easter 2025 - Thomas // Andy Stanley Apr 20, 2025

The resurrection isn’t just a story—it’s the event that launched a movement and changed everything. If Jesus really rose from the dead, his resurrection has real implications for your life, your faith, and your future. In this Easter message, we talk about this event, why we celebrate it, and why it is the anchor for everything we believe.

Death Of A King // Andy Stanley Apr 13, 2025

Death had the last word because death was the consequence of sin—but not anymore. Jesus, God’s final King, crushed both sin and death and invites us to reign in life through him.

Death To The King // Andy Stanley Apr 06, 2025

As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing.

Take Aim // Joel Thomas Mar 30, 2025

You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Without clear vision, you’ll drift into coasting, and coasting always takes you downhill.

Deeper Wider, Part 5: Just Because // Andy Stanley Mar 23, 2025

Before inviting Peter to follow him, Jesus asked Peter to “put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” After a night of fishing with no success and despite his reservations, Peter agreed: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” At some point, every Jesus follower will face their own “because you say so” moment. Like Peter, we won’t know what hangs in the balance or our decision. It’s better to find out than miss out. Ready to engage in Deeper/Wider? We in invite you to make a commitment at DeeperWider.com/commit.

Deeper Wider, Part 4: Obstacles // Joel Thomas Mar 16, 2025

All of us face obstacles to generosity. The common denominator for our obstacles is a desire for more. The apostle Paul taught that true wealth isn't found in accumulation but in contentment. And he shows what it looks like to place our hope not in riches but in God who richly provides.

Deeper Wider, Part 3: The Plan // Andy Stanley Mar 09, 2025

Everyone has a generosity plan, but most people prioritize spending first and leave giving as an afterthought. Jesus flipped the script on that approach with “Seek ye first” living. Embracing this financial template is a tangible expression of submission to our King.

Deeper Wider, Part 2: Defining Terms // Andy Stanley Mar 02, 2025

Jesus redefined generosity—not as spontaneous or sparing, but as intentional and prioritized. His approach ensures we don’t put our trust in riches but in God who richly provides. Choosing to follow his definition of generosity results in greater impact, less worry, more joy, and more peace.

Deeper Wider, Part 1: Everything // Andy Stanley Feb 23, 2025

Biblical generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. We are simply managers. When we adopt that posture, we view everything we “own” as a potential tool to further the agenda of our King. We will give first and adjust our lifestyle accordingly. Christians who adopt this perspective as the organizing principle for their personal finances find it easier to surrender the other components of their life as well. As Jesus made clear, the number one competitor for our devotion to God is our devotion to more. More money and more things.

The Last Kingdom, Part 5: Unstoppable // Andy Stanley Feb 16, 2025

Jesus’s kingdom is not advanced by force, but over time through transformed lives. We are invited to participate in its expansion.

The Last Kingdom, Part 4: Fight Like the King // Andy Stanley Feb 09, 2025

The fight of faith is about becoming more like Jesus, not about defeating enemies.

The Last Kingdom, Part 3: Beyond Pledging Allegiance // Joel Thomas Feb 02, 2025

People all over the world claim to be Christian, based on a belief Jesus is the ultimate king. But at times, we can find ourselves living in defiance of the very king we swear allegiance to.

The Last Kingdom, Part 2: Reclaiming the Plotline // Andy Stanley Jan 26, 2025

The term "Christ" was originally a royal title meaning "Anointed One" or “King,” not a name. And the message of the Gospel is not just about personal salvation, but about aligning with the reign of Jesus as King.

The Last Kingdom, Part 1: Lost in Translation // Andy Stanley Jan 19, 2025

If we re-center our faith around the arrival of a King rather than a ticket to heaven, we will discover why his arrival and his kingdom is good news for all people.

Made for More // Andy Stanley Jan 05, 2025

Just as the apostle Paul wrote to the Jesus followers in Ephesus, you were made for something more than yourself. You are God’s workmanship, and you’ve got something to offer God’s Kingdom.

Christmas Celebration // Andy Stanley Dec 22, 2024

Sinners Like Me, Part 3: Misfits & Embarrassments // Andy Stanley Dec 15, 2024

The lineage of Jesus is full of people with stories that would make anyone blush, including the likes of King David and Lot’s daughters. But in spite of jaw-dropping choices people made, God’s purposes marched forward.

Sinners Like Me, Part 2: Party Crasher // Andy Stanley Dec 08, 2024

Rahab is one of a few people in the lineage of Jesus that wasn’t Jewish — she was a Canaanite. Not to mention, she was a prostitute. But neither of those things kept her from being used by God in an incredible way.

Sinners Like Me, Part 1: The Back Story // Andy Stanley Dec 01, 2024

The story of Judah and Tamar is probably not one we would have mentioned if we were the ones telling the back story of Jesus’s ancestors. However, many times God’s story highlights the unlikely and the undeserving.

The Power of a Made Up Story, Part 3: Planting Seeds // Joel Thomas Nov 24, 2024

We have the power to influence the posture of our heart — but how?

The Power of a Made Up Story, Part 2: Unforgiving Servant // Joel Thomas Nov 17, 2024

Our capacity to forgive is flow from what we’ve been forgiven. So, how much forgiveness is enough?

The Power of a Made Up Story, Part 1: Lost Things // Joel Thomas Nov 10, 2024

Jesus uses the parables of Lost Things to demonstrate His love for us.

Miracles: Then & Now, Part 4: In the Zone // Andy Stanley Nov 03, 2024

While we can't predict when miracles happen, there is a posture we can take that increases the chances of God doing a supernatural work within us.

Miracles: Then & Now, Part 3: Don't Lost Hope // Joel Thomas Oct 27, 2024

Our circumstances don’t define how God feels about us. So how do we navigate those circumstances when we don’t get the miracle?

Miracles: Then & Now, Part 2: Mystery and Inconsistency // Andy Stanley Oct 20, 2024

Miracles are at God’s discretion to further God’s purposes.

Miracles: Then & Now, Part 1: Who Needs 'Em // Andy Stanley Oct 13, 2024

The miracle of the universe is the foundation of our faith in God, but a different miracle is the foundation of our faith in Jesus.

Be Rich: Uncomfortably Close // Andy Stanley Oct 06, 2024

Serving people with different lived experiences is one of the primary things God uses to fine-tune our worldview.

Heaven, Hell, & Everything In Between, Part 3: Connection // Joel Thomas Sep 29, 2024

We all fall short sometimes. How we respond to temptations and frustrations can affect our well-being and relationships. What would happen if we brought our struggles into the light and invited others in?

Heaven, Hell, & Everything In Between, Part 2: Alignment // Joel Thomas Sep 22, 2024

Everyone has a worldview. It governs your beliefs, decisions, and behaviors. You owe it to yourself to be honest about your source of truth because that will ultimately govern your life.

Heaven, Hell, & Everything In Between, Part 1: Reality // Joel Thomas Sep 15, 2024

What’s really going on in the world? The reality is that something is governing your life — and it’s not you.

Be Rich: Making History // Andy Stanley Sep 08, 2024

Since 2007, our Be Rich campaign has been making the world an even better place. After all, devotion to God is best demonstrated and authenticated through love for others.

The Responsibles, Part 4: The Me You Can't See // Andy Stanley Sep 01, 2024

We must take responsibility for the me nobody can see.

The Responsibles, Part 3: Here Today, Here Tomorrow // Andy Stanley Aug 25, 2024

Our choices today will leave our loved ones with one of two things in the future: a burden or a blessing.

The Responsibles, Part 2: Looking Back // Andy Stanley Aug 18, 2024

Sometimes we have to go back to move forward.

The Responsibles, Part 1: Your Invitation to Super // Andy Stanley Aug 11, 2024

Your irresponsibility will eventually become somebody else's responsibility.

Unmistakable, Unshakable // Andy Stanley Aug 04, 2024

We are far more likely to develop meaningful faith when people of faith surround us.

Games We Play, Part 4: The Change Game // Samer Massad Jul 28, 2024

We have a natural tendency to be critical toward others because we want others to change for our benefit. So how does Jesus actually address this idea of being critical and judging others? Is it ever healthy? How do you want to be judged?

Games We Play, Part 3: The Comparison Game // Samer Massad Jul 21, 2024

A game that requires a loser is a game nobody wins. When we play the comparison game and allow envy to motivate our actions, it can cost us more than we expect.

Games We Play, Part 2: The Blame Game // Joel Thomas Jul 14, 2024

When it comes to relationships, the blame game is a game that no one wins.

Games We Play, Part 1: The Honor Game // Andy Stanley Jul 07, 2024

A game that requires a loser is a game nobody wins.

Broken and Grateful // Andy Stanley Jun 30, 2024

We can disagree culturally and politically, and still love unconditionally.

Modern Men & Our Ancient Scripts, Part 2: The Man from God // Andy Stanley Jun 23, 2024

Following the script of Jesus doesn’t mean all men will be the same. But it does mean we’ll be better men.

Modern Men & Our Ancient Scripts, Part 1: Lion & Lamb // Andy Stanley Jun 16, 2024

Somebody may have defined masculinity for you, but how will you define it for yourself?

What Our World Needs Now, Part 9: Self-Control // April Farmer Jun 09, 2024

What Our World Needs Now, Part 8: Gotcha! // Joel Thomas Jun 02, 2024

What could our world look like if we chose restoration instead of condemnation?

What Our World Needs Now: A Long Fuse // Samer Massad May 26, 2024

We all have a little bit of patience but we also know how limited it can be. How do we increase our capacity for patience? And why does it matter?

What Our World Needs Now, Part 6: Getting Past Good Enough // Elaine Scott May 12, 2024

We all want to be good, but sometimes we’re not. What do we do when we fall short?

What Our World Needs Now, Part 5: Human-kind-ness // Joel Thomas May 05, 2024

What does kindness look like, act like, and react like?

The Word Works Apr 28, 2024

Many Christians refer to the Bible as the “Word.” But there’s more to the Word than the Bible itself.

What Our World Needs Now, Part 3: The Missing Peace // Joel Thomas Apr 21, 2024

Jesus never said life would be easy, but he did promise us a path that leads to peace.

What Our World Needs Now, Part 2: Journey to JOY // Samer Massad Apr 14, 2024

Jesus promised that a consistent, constant, and steady joy can be ours. And fortunately, he also tells us how.

What Our World Needs Now, Part 1: No Substitute // Andy Stanley Apr 07, 2024

The Holy Spirit was given to us not so we could be more spiritual, but so we could become more mature.

Easter 2024: Didn't See It Coming // Andy Stanley Mar 31, 2024

Despite Jesus predicting it multiple times, eyewitnesses were shocked to learn God had raised Jesus from the dead. And what God did for Jesus, he can do for you.

Ekklesia, Part 6: The Enemy Within // Andy Stanley Mar 24, 2024

It’s easy to believe the greatest enemy of the church comes from outside the church. Unfortunately, the church’s greatest threat is right in the middle of it.

Ekklesia, Part 5: The Wonder of It All // Andy Stanley Mar 17, 2024

The message of the church is a message for the world.

Ekklesia, Part 4: Big and Bold // Andy Stanley Mar 10, 2024

Early Christians were bold, confident, and courageous. How we pray is an indicator if we’ve strayed from that.

Ekklesia, Part 3: Our Turn // Andy Stanley Mar 03, 2024

Provide for the next generation what you wish the previous generation had provided for you.

Ekklesia, Part 2: Opening Day // Andy Stanley Feb 25, 2024

When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done.

Ekklesia, Part 1: What's in a Name? // Andy Stanley Feb 18, 2024

Being part of a local gathering of Jesus followers means you are part of something big. It’s up to each generation to determine what Christianity looks like, sounds like, and reacts like.

Check Your Heart, Part 3: Fill in the Blank // Joel Thomas Feb 11, 2024

Most people understand the importance of monitoring the physical condition of their heart. Jesus taught that the spiritual and emotional condition of the heart is what’s most important in this life.

Check Your Heart, Part 2: Now or Later // Joel Thomas Feb 04, 2024

One way to test the spiritual condition of your heart is to listen to the words you say. In Matthew 15:10–20, Jesus teaches that the words we say reveal what’s in our hearts. Monitoring the nature of your words can help you monitor the condition of your heart. When it comes to your heart, do you hear yourself?

Check Your Heart, Part 1: Do You Hear Yourself? // Joel Thomas Jan 28, 2024

One way to test the spiritual condition of your heart is to listen to the words you say. In Matthew 15:10–20, Jesus teaches that the words we say reveal what’s in our hearts. Monitoring the nature of your words can help you monitor the condition of your heart. When it comes to your heart, do you hear yourself?

A Better Question, Part 2: Filled Full // Andy Stanley Jan 14, 2024

If the only things that concern you are about you, there is work to do. Ultimately, we save ourselves from ourselves by choosing not to be all about ourselves.

A Better Question, Part 1: About You // Andy Stanley Jan 07, 2024

If something about the world is broken and it breaks your heart, there’s an opportunity to be a part of fixing it.

The Way In A Manger, Part 3: The Way of Love // Andy Stanley Dec 17, 2023

During this time of year, we engage our imaginations as we embrace the magic of Christmas. Let’s also imagine what the world would be like if we fully embraced the way of Jesus—the way of love.

The Way In A Manger, Part 2: The Way of Life // Andy Stanley Dec 10, 2023

Jesus came to show us not only the way back to God, but the way back to others as well. As people who have been reconciled to God, we should pursue reconciliation with people whenever possible.

The Way In A Manger, Part 1: Dead Ends // Andy Stanley Dec 03, 2023

Have you ever felt like you've lost your way? Usually by the time we realize we’re lost, we’ve been lost for quite some time. And we instinctively ask, "What should I do?" Instead, there’s a different question to consider.

Homecoming, Part 3: Deeper and Wider Than Ever // Andy Stanley Nov 26, 2023

We believe following Jesus makes your life better and makes you better at life, and we want our local church to inspire people to follow him. In this message, Andy Stanley talks about how and why we do church the way we do.

Homecoming, Part 2: Family // Zach Tinner Nov 19, 2023

The church should be much more than a place people gather. As modeled in the early days of Christianity, it’s intended to look like a united, selfless, and committed family.

Under The Circumstances, Part 3: For Those Who Doubt // Andy Stanley Nov 05, 2023

Doubt doesn't have to be an off-ramp to faith. In fact, it's a natural part of the journey.

Under The Circumstances, Part 2: Promises, Promises // Andy Stanley Oct 29, 2023

No matter if our current season of life is easy or difficult, we strive to fix our eyes on Jesus instead of our circumstances.

Under The Circumstances, Part 1: When Life Happens // Andy Stanley Oct 22, 2023

Our circumstances are not an indicator of God’s absence.

Fatal Distractions, Part 2: Fog, Fires, and Fear // Joel Thomas Oct 15, 2023

Your great work is to identify the distractions that keep you from the “problem” that you are uniquely positioned to solve.

Fatal Distractions, Part 1: Great Work! // Joel Thomas Oct 08, 2023

Great work is often found on the other side of a terrifying longing. How could clarity regarding your “terrifying longing” reduce the allure of the distractions you’re most susceptible to?

Make Room, Part 2: Practice Makes Progress // Samer Massad Sep 24, 2023

Spiritual disciplines require practice. Practicing well is just as important as practicing, period. In this message, we’ll learn about a few disciplines we can begin to practice to make room to experience more of God’s power in our lives.

Make Room, Part 1: Means to an End // Samer Massad Sep 17, 2023

Spiritual habits are not the end; but a means to an end. To what end? Jesus makes that abundantly clear.

Be Rich 2023 // Andy Stanley with Hal Donaldson Sep 10, 2023

As we see in this interview with Hal Donaldson, sometimes difficult circumstances can inspire people to do something great.

Icon, Part 4: Kingdom Now // Andy Stanley Sep 03, 2023

Living in the upside-down kingdom Jesus described can perhaps seem risky and foolish. But the power and love of God is released when we embrace it.

Icon, Part 3: Chasing Humility // Andy Stanley Aug 27, 2023

We can be tempted by a lot of things we shouldn’t give in to. But when we give into the temptation of humility, the world changes for the better.

Icon, Part 2: Loser's Club // Andy Stanley Aug 20, 2023

The cross is a reminder for us to stop chasing what can’t be caught.

Icon, Part 1: It Won't Work // Andy Stanley Aug 13, 2023

It's not intuitive to choose to lose, but Jesus introduced an upside-down way of living.

Practicing What I Preach // Andy Stanley Aug 06, 2023

Following Jesus is complicated. We all need help figuring it out and sticking with it.

Friendology, Part 3: Challenging Friendships // Joel Thomas Jul 30, 2023

With our society as divided as ever, we as Jesus followers have the opportunity to model how to cultivate a culture of diverse friendships.

Friendology, Part 2: Not On Your Own // Joel Thomas Jul 23, 2023

Prioritizing the needs of a community of people above ourselves moves us toward the interdependence we need.
