Bethel Atlanta’s mission is to create a vibrant family of hope-filled believers who deeply experience the love and presence of God and partner with Jesus to express the joy and power of His kingdom in everyday life.
In this message, Justin Stockman shares a practical guide on emotional health and spiritual alignment, emphasizing that we are wired for deep connection with God, ourselves, and others. He explains that true wholeness requires us to bring our entire humanity, including hidden pain and core traumas, into the light of God's presence rather than fragmenting our lives. We cannot skip the vital process of honest mourning if we want to experience deep-seated comfort and lasting joy.
Sometimes the greatest deal of effort we face isn't fighting the enemy, but wrestling through our own internal resistance. In this message, Danielle Stinespring shares a vulnerable look at what happens when we reach the end of our own capacity and have to let our best-laid plans go. We often stay stuck trying to qualify or disqualify ourselves based on our own performance, but true authority is found when we finally trade our self-reliance for total dependence on Jesus. If God gave the word, He is responsible for bringing it to life.
You have been given a divine assignment of restoration that extends far beyond the four walls of a church building. Just as the leaven works through the entire lump of dough, you are called to be an agent of transformation in your specific sphere of influence—whether that is in business, education, or your home. Real ministry isn't about religious performance or following a set of forms; it is about carrying the authentic power and presence of the Holy Spirit into your Monday-through-Friday world. When you overcome the fear of man and step out in your God-given wisdom, you provide prophetic solutions that can shift the culture around you.
In this week's teaching, Blake Healy reframes the fear of the Lord as the profound comfort found when we recognize God's immense superiority over our own limited logic. By examining the Book of Job, the message highlights how human suffering often defies the predictable rules of wisdom found in Proverbs or Ecclesiastes. Blake illustrates this gap in understanding through the staggering math of 52 factorial, proving that even a simple deck of cards holds more complexity than we can fathom. Rather than providing Job with specific reasons for his pain, God responds from a whirlwind by showcasing His mastery over the entire cosmos. Ultimately, this perspective invites us to trade the stress of modern certainty for the peace of trusting a loving Father who manages a reality far beyond our vision.
Did you know that your unique talents are actually a divine blueprint for bringing restoration to the world around you? In this "Go" chapter of our Pillar series, Dan shares how bringing a heavenly perspective into your home or workplace reveals God's multifaceted wisdom and shifts the local culture. By looking at the craftsmanship of Bezalel and the ingenuity of Solomon, we see how the Holy Spirit empowers us to work with a level of excellence that inspires wonder in others. We are called to stop comparing ourselves and instead lead by reproducing the culture of Heaven through the specific victories God has given us.
In this powerful message, Dan Weber explores our original purpose and the calling to restore what was lost. From the dreams of Genesis to the mandate of the Great Commission, we learn that our role as believers is centered on becoming active ministers of reconciliation. Discover how shifting your core beliefs can transform your sphere of influence and help you step into the assignment God has prepared for you. It's time to move beyond outward behavior and start living from a renewed mind that impacts the world around you.
In this Easter Sunday message, Dan Weber explores the idea that the resurrection, while the most important act, is part of a much larger story. Moving from Genesis to Revelation, Dan discusses God's original "dream" for creation and how the Gospel isn't just about escaping to heaven, but about the restoration of our authority to rule and reign on Earth.
In this moving Palm Sunday message, Steve Hale explores the profound humility of Jesus, who, despite being the co-equal and co-eternal Word of God, chose to set aside His divine privileges to walk among us as a man. Reflecting on Jesus' inaugural address in Isaiah 61, Steve highlights how our Savior came specifically for the broken, the hurting, and the bound, offering a hope that requires no unattainable climb but rather a God who comes down to meet us. Through the powerful imagery of Jesus as both the Lion and the Lamb, we are invited to see how He displayed the ultimate strength through submission—washing the feet of His disciples, enduring the cross for our peace, and ultimately rising in victory. As we look at the "human condition" of struggle and betrayal, we are reminded that God gives grace to the humble and that we, too, are called to live as roaring lambs, finding true life through surrender.
In this message, Danielle uses the relatable image of "lifting the couch" to illustrate how Jesus wants to illuminate the hidden areas of our internal worlds. She reminds us that under the New Covenant, we are the house of God, and our growth is not about self-improvement but about making space for His inhabitation. Danielle highlights that looking at our humanity is only safe when we are anchored in the Father's immeasurable affection and delight.
Kris Vallotton explores the essential nature of humility and how God uses life's trials to forge true wisdom. Through his own journey from business struggles to ministry leadership, Kris illustrates that God's idea of "blessing" often involves shaping the person rather than just the platform. This message is a call to value the truth, embrace accountability, and trust God's process even when it leads through the "crucible."
We were honored to host Kris Vallotton and are deeply grateful for him sharing this impactful message with our community. His teaching offers a thoughtful reflection on faith, obedience, and the importance of building with intentionality and purpose, with Christ at the center.This message underscores the significance of honoring those who have gone before us, recognizing the courage required to step into new beginnings, and valuing a life shaped by devotion and calling. It is our hope that this word provides encouragement, clarity, and renewed perspective for all who listen.
Are you just along for the ride, or are you an apprentice to Jesus? In week two of our Grow month, Dan challenges us to step into the real work of discipleship. We can't simply bypass our pain or ignore our humanness in the name of being spiritual. Instead, we are invited to hold our new creation identity in one hand and our process of sanctification in the other. By taking ownership of our inner world and tending to the soil of our hearts—assessing our friction, getting curious about our triggers, and partnering with the Holy Spirit to process our history—we make room for explosive, hundredfold growth. Transformation takes work, but we do it anchored in the grace and goodness of God. Let's let Jesus into our deep places to do what He paid for in our lives.
Real growth rarely happens in our comfort zones; it happens in the tension between the perfect reality of Heaven and our present human experience. As we launch into our "Grow" series, we are reminded that following Jesus is not a sprint, nor even a marathon—it's an ultra-marathon. True discipleship requires us to hold a beautiful, often uncomfortable tension: we are fully made new in the spirit, yet our minds, wills, and emotions are still on an intense journey of sanctification. In this message, Dan invites our Bethel Atlanta family into the deep work of emotional fitness and character development. We cannot simply broadcast our supernatural victories while hiding our very real shortcomings. When we embrace the vital keys of humility, self-awareness, and the acceptance of our imperfections, we begin to build a true culture of honor. This is a culture where we are safe enough to be seen in our humanity, while our family relentlessly calls out the gold and the glory God placed within us. Join us as we explore what it means to heal ourselves as a body , confront the mindsets keeping us stuck , and intentionally grow into the full measure and stature of Christ. In this message, we cover: The Long Game of Discipleship: Why spiritual formation requires us to pace ourselves and embrace the painful but necessary friction of growth. The Body Healing Itself: The Ephesians 4 mandate that we are not just called to minister to the world, but to actively participate in the healing and building up of our own spiritual family. Three Keys to Transformation: Why humility , self-awareness , and acceptance are non-negotiable for anyone who wants to become a mature leader.
God designed us for real connection, but stepping into authentic relationships often means risking pain and navigating friction. In a culture of loneliness, the world is hungry for a people who know how to love without conditions and stay connected through conflict. This isn't just a concept; it's the actual practice of family. In the final message of our Family Pillar series, Dan Weber invites us to look at the perfect theology of Jesus as a Father and a Friend. From creating safe spaces for radical honesty to learning how to reconcile instead of run, Dan challenges us to move past superficial interactions and take ownership of our relationships. Even when we bring our flawed human nature into the room, we have a Father who disciples us into whole, healthy connection. Join us as we explore what it looks like to be found, formed, and sharpened in the family of God.
Are you navigating a season of intense pressure or isolation? We live in an increasingly disconnected and machine-driven world, but God never intended for us to walk through our pain alone. In this intensely vulnerable and deeply relational message, Paul Manwaring shares his personal journey through a highly stressful season of leadership and the profound revelation that followed: the absolute necessity of honest, accountable friendship. Drawing from the perfect example of the Holy Spirit—our Helper and ultimate Friend who isn't afraid to "sit in the mud" with us—Paul challenges our community to move beyond surface-level interactions. He invites us to foster relationships that ask the hard questions, speak the truth, and consistently point us back to Jesus. It's time to take ownership of our connections. Let's step out of isolation, champion mental fitness, and become a family that heals together around the table.
Currently, there is a lot swirling in the media, leading to confusion, hurt, and questions. It is entirely okay to be in that process and feel those emotions. However, as a supernatural family, we are called to love unconditionally. In month two of our Family series, we explore how to lock arms with one another, making room for people to be in process while calling them higher. Love is not a human effort; it is a divine influence and a supernatural power. We look at 1 Corinthians 13 and 1 John 4 to understand that perfect love casts out fear and requires nothing in return. Grace is not permission to stay in our messes, but rather the supernatural empowerment to step forward and change. Join us as we take a milestone step toward our mandate of unity for Atlanta.

We were never designed to do life in a vacuum. In this kickoff to our Family pillar series, Pastor Andy explores the radical reality of Acts 2:42—a community so devoted to one another that it changed history. We often view family through the lens of our past experiences—some beautiful, some broken. But Kingdom family isn't about finding a perfect environment; it's about taking personal responsibility to create one. In this message, we confront the modern barriers to connection (technology, busyness, and walls masquerading as boundaries) and issue a challenge: move from being a consumer of community to a cultivator of it. Revival is sustained in family. Are you ready to show up?

Hearing God's voice isn't reserved for the spiritual elite—it is the birthright of every son and daughter. In this final message of our Supernatural pillar series, Dan Weber breaks down the practical mechanics of hearing the Father, moving us from mystery to maturity. Using 1 Corinthians 14 and his own journey from "Roofer Dan" to revivalist, he demystifies the prophetic process. He explains that hearing the voice (Revelation) is just the beginning. The real stewardship happens in understanding what it means (Interpretation) and knowing when to act (Application). If you've ever wondered, "Was that God, me, or the pizza I ate?" this message will equip you with a simple filter to distinguish the Father's voice from the noise. It's time to move past the fear of getting it wrong and into the joy of conversation with the One who is always speaking.
