Jesus Loves You Too Much to Leave You the Same Oct 11, 2026

Show notes

God doesn't just change what we do. He transforms who we are.

John began as a Son of Thunder, marked by anger, selfish ambition, and insecurity. But through his relationship with Jesus, he became known as the Apostle of Love.

Through Luke 9, Mark 9–10, Acts 8, and 1 John, this message explores how time with Jesus can transform human anger into kingdom fire, selfish ambition into kingdom drive, and personal insecurity into kingdom confidence.

We are a bunch of imperfect people pursuing a perfect God. And just like John, we can be transformed by spending time with Jesus.

Don't Let the Devil Bully You Oct 04, 2026

Show notes

What lies have you started believing about yourself? That you’re too broken? That God couldn’t choose you? That you’ll never change?

In “Don’t Let the Devil Bully You,” Doug Wekenman unpacks how the enemy uses lies, fear, and shame to keep us stuck—and how God’s truth sets us free. Condemnation tells you to stay away from Jesus. Conviction invites you to come back, where you’ll be met with mercy and grace.

You’re not condemned—you’re being redeemed. You’re not rejected—you’re chosen. And you’re not just trying—you’re in training.

Discover how to replace the lies with truth, take your next step in obedience, and run the race God has marked out for you.

You’re Not Too Broken for God Sep 27, 2026

Show notes

Your past doesn’t disqualify you. Your mistakes don’t make you unusable. And you are not too broken for God.

Through the story of Paul, we’re reminded that there is no one God can’t save, no one God can’t use, and no one He can’t send. Instead of focusing on what you’ve done, it’s time to focus on what Jesus has done.

God can save you.

God can use you.

God wants to send you.

You’re not too broken. You’re not too far gone. And God isn’t finished with your story.

We Are Imperfect People Pursuing a Perfect God Sep 20, 2026

Show notes

We are imperfect people pursuing a perfect God.

In this message, Shawn Johnson reminds us that we are welcomed, loved, valued, and wanted by God—and that we were never meant to pursue Him alone.

Come as you are. Pursue God together.

When You Don’t Feel Qualified Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when you don’t feel qualified for what God has called you to do?

In week one of Imperfect People, we look at the story of Moses and the gap between our weaknesses and God’s calling. Moses asked, “Who am I?” But instead of focusing on who Moses was, God revealed who He is: “I AM WHO I AM.”

Our weaknesses do not disqualify us from being used by God. His grace is sufficient, His power is made perfect in weakness, and He is everything we’re not. When you don’t have what it takes, He does.

God Math Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when life doesn’t add up?

Through the story of Job, Andrew Zajicek reminds us that even when we don’t understand what God is doing—or can’t seem to find Him—we can still trust Him. Sometimes our hardest seasons move us from simply hearing about God to truly seeing Him.

“My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” — Job 42:5

What Does God Have Planned for Me NOW? Aug 29, 2026

Show notes

What does God have planned for you next—and what might He be doing in you right now?

Pastor Conrad Bess teaches from John 15 about what it means to abide in Jesus, trust God through seasons of pruning, and bear lasting fruit. Instead of becoming consumed with what comes next, we can fix our eyes on Jesus and faithfully follow Him today.

The life God has for us isn’t found by striving on our own. It grows from staying connected to the true Vine. Apart from Jesus we can do nothing, but when we abide in Him, our lives produce fruit that glorifies God and fills us with joy.

Flip The Fomo Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

What if your fear of missing out on something better is causing you to miss what God is doing right where you are?

In this message, Doug Wekenman challenges us to stop looking to the left and right at all the paths we could have taken—and become fully present on the path God has placed before us. When life becomes difficult, it’s easy to question our decisions, compare our reality to someone else’s highlight reel, or assume resistance means we chose incorrectly. But the winds being against you doesn’t always mean you’re going the wrong way.

God’s plans often require grit, commitment, and the faith to stay.

Instead of constantly chasing the next opportunity, relationship, city, church, or season, what would happen if you planted yourself in God’s presence today? Don’t allow FOMO to drain your energy or keep you double-minded. Double down on the life God has given you, trust Him with what comes next, and build a story worth having.

License Plates, Black Birds, & Two-Year-Olds Aug 15, 2026

Show notes

When you’re facing a big decision, God’s guidance begins with seeking Him.

In this message, Shawn Johnson continues the “What Does God Have Planned for Me Next?” series by sharing four places to run when you need direction: God’s Word, prayer, God’s people, and God’s house. When we seek God, put Him first, submit to His ways, and build His Kingdom, we can trust Him to guide our steps.

And when you’ve sought God and still don’t know which direction to take? Pick one. Trust that God will go with you, guide you, and course-correct when necessary.

When God Doesn’t Give the Details Aug 08, 2026

Show notes

Does God really have good plans for us when we cannot see the details, when life is painful, or when our prayers seem unanswered?

In this message from the “What Does God Have Planned For Me Next?” series, we look at the context of Jeremiah 29:11 and what Scripture teaches us about trusting God in seasons we do not understand. God never promised us all the details, but He promises to be with us as we walk by faith, not by sight.

God is with you even when you don’t feel it. God is working even when you can’t see it. God has a plan even when you don’t understand it.

Don’t give up. Keep walking with Him.
