In this episode, we explore Paul's closing words to the Philippians—a letter written from prison, yet overflowing with peace, contentment, and joy. How is that possible? Because Paul's focus wasn't on his circumstances—it was on Christ.We'll talk about how to handle anxiety, conflict, and financial stress with a mindset rooted in prayer, gratitude, and trust in God's provision. You'll hear practical ways to refocus your heart, stay anchored in peace, and discover why joy isn't tied to what's happening around you—but who you're walking with through it.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, restless, or just spiritually dry, this conversation will encourage you to fix your eyes on Jesus and find joy, no matter the season.
What are you really chasing in life? In this powerful message from Philippians 3:1–14, we're reminded that our deepest purpose isn't found in achievements, performance, or checking spiritual boxes—but in knowing Christ personally. Paul lays aside his most impressive credentials to embrace something far greater: the privilege of being known and loved by Jesus. Whether you've felt pressure to perform, struggled with shame, or tied your value to what you do instead of who you belong to—this message is for you. Discover how your identity in Christ frees you from striving and invites you into a life of purpose, grace, and joy. Watch now and be reminded: you weren't created for perfection—you were created for a relationship with Him.
In the rush of life—even in ministry—it's easy to get caught up in doing things for Jesus and forget to simply be with Him. In this message, Pastor Justin reflects on the story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10, where Jesus reminds us that sitting at His feet is the better choice. As we look back on the year, we use the Examen—a powerful spiritual tool—to process our experiences through prayer, gratitude, and repentance. This message is a gentle but necessary reminder: before we serve, lead, or plan, we must first rest in His presence. Watch now and let Jesus recenter your heart for the season ahead.
Have you ever noticed how the Easter story is woven into every page of Scripture? In this powerful Easter message, we journey from Eden to Exodus, from Abraham to David, and discover that every story points us toward the ultimate hero—Jesus. Through each biblical narrative, we see ourselves not as the heroes, but as those desperately in need of a savior. Yet the good news remains: Jesus is the fulfillment, the rescuer, the substitute, and the victorious King we need. Dive deep into this transformative message and discover why Easter isn't just a story we celebrate once a year—it's the heartbeat of the entire Bible. Watch now and be inspired by the greatest story ever told!
Obedience isn't just about following rules—it's about actively living out your faith with intention and humility. In Philippians 2:12-18, Paul challenges believers to "work out" their salvation, emphasizing that God Himself empowers us both to desire and accomplish His purposes. Our attitudes matter greatly—living without complaining or arguing helps us shine brightly in a world that desperately needs authentic examples of Christ's love. Discover how staying anchored in God's Word and relying on His strength can transform your life and make you a light in dark places. Watch this message to find encouragement and practical steps for living your faith boldly and joyfully.
When life feels overwhelming, God invites us into deeper spiritual practices—like fasting—to experience His power and presence. In this message, we explore how fasting isn't just about going without food; it's about growing in holiness and amplifying our prayers. Drawing insights from Scripture and powerful moments in history, we see how fasting aligns our hearts with God, transforms our desires, and allows us to experience breakthroughs we never thought possible. Whether you're facing struggles, seeking direction, or longing for a miracle, fasting can open the door to God's intervention. Watch now and discover how embracing this spiritual discipline can bring fresh clarity and strength to your faith.
What does it truly mean to have the mindset of Christ? In Philippians 2:1-11, Paul calls us to a life of humility, unity, and selflessness, just as Jesus modeled for us. This message unpacks how Christ, though fully God, chose to lower Himself, serving others and ultimately giving His life for us. His humility wasn't weakness—it was power under control, a love so deep it changed everything. If we want to reflect Jesus in our daily lives, we must embrace this same mindset. Watch now to discover how following Christ's example can transform your relationships, your faith, and your purpose.
