Cornerstone Church GR - 84th St. Campus

Beyond the Weekend is back! Mandy Fowler and Pastor Alex Fernandez talk about our new series “The Other 167” and the ways we need to reset how we think about Sunday services. 

What does it really mean to worship? We often think of music, messages, or an hour on Sunday, but what if worship is so much more? What if the most powerful worship doesn't happen on Sunday's, but in the other 167 hours of your week? From your daily grind to your quiet moments of rest, how you prepare, serve, love, and respond can all become acts of worship.

The Bible is full of stories about young people who didn't seem like the obvious choice but played a meaningful role in what God was doing. They weren't chosen because they had it all together. They were simply willing. What if the people the world tends to overlook are the very ones God wants to work through?

What does it really mean to be an influencer? It's a word we hear everywhere, but what if influence isn't about going viral or building a following? What if it looks more like quiet strength and bold conviction?

When life feels heavy or your past keeps holding you back, it's easy to forget who you really are. But you don't have to stay stuck in old patterns or worn-out lies. There's a deeper truth about your identity—one that brings healing, freedom, and purpose when you finally believe it's for you.
