In this powerful episode titled "Miracles in the Waiting," Pastor Amy Visconti sits down with Elyse Mahan for a heartfelt and honest conversation about faith, healing, and the beauty found in seasons of waiting.

Let's talk about royalty—but not the kind you read about in tabloids. I'm talking about the kind that reigns in righteousness and power for eternity. God never wanted His people to be ruled by flawed human kings. But they begged: “Give us a king like the other nations!” And God said, “You're rejecting me as your King...but fine—don't say I didn't warn you.”Enter Saul—tall, impressive, charismatic… and tragically flawed. Disobedient. Prideful. A poster child for royalty without righteousness. He started strong, but ended his life on his own sword. Why? Because disobedience always destroys destiny. That's a word for some of you men—you can't lead well if you don't submit well.Then came David, the man after God's own heart. He was better. But he still fell. Adultery. Murder. A broken home. His life is a reminder that God uses flawed people—not because they're perfect, but because they trust Him. If you've messed up, there's still redemption in Jesus.

Have you ever felt like you're grown… but not free? Like you're doing well in one area of life but still stuck in an old role, memory, or wound in another?In this message, we explore the powerful stories of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 27 & 33) and the Prodigal Son (Luke 15)—a journey of deception, resentment, wrestling, and ultimately… redemption.You'll hear real stories, raw struggles, and biblical truth that challenge us to look at the moments we've been tethered to—whether it's regret, comparison, anger, or offense—and how Jesus gives us the power to break free.

In this week's episode of the podcast, Pastor Ryan Visconti sits down with his longtime friend Rusty for a powerful conversation about discipleship, ministry in the military, and how Rusty took Pastor Ryan in during a pivotal time in his faith journey.

Together, they explore what authentic discipleship looks like for young men, how to lead and serve in a military context, and the importance of investing in others through genuine, Christ-centered relationships. Listeners will hear never-before-shared stories about Pastor Ryan's early days of discovering his faith and how Rusty helped lay a part of the spiritual foundation that shaped who he is today.Whether you're in ministry, in the military, or just hungry to grow in your walk with God—this episode will encourage and challenge you to live out your calling with courage and conviction.

There's only one person who can bring you into the presence of God—and it's not a pastor, a priest, or a saint. It's JESUS. In this powerful message, we dive deep into the ancient role of the High Priest in Judaism and how it was all a shadow pointing to Jesus, our perfect and eternal High Priest.

So many Christians today are obsessed with demon possession, deliverance ministry, and the idea that evil spirits are controlling their daily lives. But is that actually true?

Can a Christian even be possessed by a demon?We're tackling these questions head-on in this week's message as part of our Charismania series. You don't want to miss it!

If you take a moment to search the internet, you'll quickly discover a vast and often conflicting range of opinions on the concept of generational curses. Some believe they are a powerful spiritual reality, while others dismiss them as mere superstition. But what does the Bible actually say about them?

Throughout the Bible, God gives us different names for Himself. In those names, we learn who He is and all the things He does for us. Our provider, our healer, and our peace. This weekend we explore these names with guest speaker, Nate Clarke.

Every week, we come to church and sing songs before we hear the message. Why?  Why do we sing?  Why do we raise our hands?  What if “that's just not my thing”?  This weekend, we'll discuss what The Bible says about worship and why we participate in the spiritual discipline of musical worship every Sunday.

The Trinity is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Christianity. In fact, nearly every analogy used to describe the Trinity falls short. The truth is, we can't fully comprehend God. In this message, Pastor Ryan helps us begin to understand the Trinity, even if imperfectly.

We've all been hurt by others—friends, family, coworkers, neighbors. The closer the relationship, the deeper the pain can feel. When those we care about let us down or wound us, it's tempting to hold onto that hurt, replaying the offense in our minds and carrying it with us for years. But holding onto unforgiveness only keeps us stuck in the pain. God doesn't just call us to forgive; He equips us to forgive, just as He has forgiven us. In this message, we're going to dive into not only why forgiveness matters but also the practical steps you can take to truly forgive, find freedom, and heal. It's not easy, but it's possible—and it's what God wants for you.

We all need forgiveness because we're all guilty of sin. In this message, we'll dive into why we feel the weight of guilt and how God, in His love and justice, made a way for us to be free through Jesus. If you've ever struggled with guilt or wondered if you can truly be forgiven, this will help you see the incredible peace and freedom that comes when we accept God's grace.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, but there's so much peace when we learn to lean on God's strength. In this message, we'll talk about what it means to trust His plan, even when things don't make sense. You'll be encouraged to let go of control, embrace His guidance, and find the hope and peace He promises.

The Nativity story reminds us that God's plan includes everyone, from the humble shepherds to the wise men. Each character in this scene teaches us something profound about God's heart for all people—whether we feel overlooked or accomplished, rich or poor, young or seasoned. It's a powerful reminder that Jesus invites us all into His Kingdom, not based on what we have, but on our willingness to love Him and share His story.

God's people are uncurseable because of His unchanging faithfulness and blessing. As we see in Numbers 22–24, the message reminds us that no matter how others might try to harm or curse those who belong to God, His promises stand firm. Just as Israel could not be cursed, we, too, are protected and blessed by the Lord's covenant. When life feels overwhelming, or we doubt His goodness, we can trust that God is working all things for our good and His glory.

God calls us to prepare for unprecedented provision, challenging us to trust Him fully, even when it requires letting go of something precious. Through the story of Abraham, we see faith in action—willing to sacrifice what God Himself has provided, believing in His goodness and promise. This message reminds us that God's provision often comes at the point of our surrender, teaching us that true provision is not just about what we gain but also about what we give up in faith. Together, we are encouraged to trust in the God who always provides, even when the path seems uncertain.

God invites us to be part of something bigger than ourselves—a powerful movement of His Spirit. Just like catching a wave requires moving in its direction early, we are called to position ourselves for where God is already at work. It starts with how we position ourselves — drawing near to Jesus for power, confronting the barriers in our lives with boldness, and living in a way that stands apart from the world. Together, these steps help us prepare for the extraordinary things God can do when we step out in faith and align our lives with His plans.

Gratitude transforms our lives and draws us closer to God. By cultivating thankfulness, we bless the Lord, fuel our worship, strengthen our relationships, and find peace even in hard times. When we choose to focus on what God has done for us—His faithfulness, blessings, and love—we overcome worry and embrace hope for the future.

Discover the power of transformation through the story of Jesus turning water into wine. Through this miracle, we see how God meets us in our moments of need, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary. It challenges us to trust His timing, embrace obedience, and prepare our hearts for the unexpected ways He works. As we serve and step out in faith, we not only experience His blessings but also witness the life-changing power of His glory.

God is calling us to take bold steps of faith and move closer to Him. It's time to shift from focusing on our own desires to embracing the power of unity in the body of Christ. Letting go of what holds us back allows us to fully trust in His provision and walk in freedom. Fear has no place when we listen to His voice and step out in faith. Together, we can follow His call and make an eternal impact for His kingdom.

From the early church, where believers shared everything they had, to today, the idea is clear: grace transforms how we see and handle our resources. When we truly understand God's generosity toward us, we can experience freedom and joy in giving. This perspective encourages us to reflect on our attitudes about ownership, contentment, trust, and the priority we place on giving back to God. How does grace shape our generosity, and what changes might we see if we let it guide us?

We see in Noah's story a powerful example of how faith and obedience can bring God's favor, even in uncertain times. Noah found favor with the Lord, not because of his own merit, but because he chose to trust and act when God called him. This reminds us that God's favor isn't something we earn, but something we receive as we step out in faith. Just like Noah built the ark before ever seeing a drop of rain, we're invited to put God first and trust that our faithful actions today can shape the future. As we embrace this call, we prepare ourselves and the next generation to walk in God's blessings.

We are in a pivotal time in history. God is about to take Generation Church to another level and use us for a greater purpose: to reach more people for Jesus than ever before. This is a Kairos moment for our church, and just like all Kairos moments, it will bring tremendous tension and require faith, but it will also have a generational impact. It's time for a faith move.

The last chapter of 1 Corinthians covers a lot of ground and has something for everyone. We learn the importance of handling money the right way—by planning, being generous, and staying accountable. We also learn how to be flexible with our plans and stand strong during conflicts. This message will encourage everyone to be brave and firm in their faith, reminding us that God is always with us, even with challenges.
