1985 was a pivotal year & on August 2, 2025 was reminded of events from that year. The story starts with that year. A song that stays in my mind forever.

Broken People: Moses

Narvik 19 July 2025

David was at the pinnacle of his success when he let his guard down, and it led to a fall that would impact countless lives. In this message, Pastor Grant walks through the sobering story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11 and 12, revealing the devastating effects of disengagement, temptation, and hidden sin. But even in the aftermath of failure, we see a powerful truth: God still uses broken people.This message is a reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God's mercy. Though David's actions brought consequences, his repentance brought restoration. If you've ever wondered if God could forgive you or use you again, this story is for you. Where sin abounds, grace abounds more. You are not disqualified. There is hope, healing, and a second chance through Jesus Christ. God can redeem your story for His glory.

Do you or your students ever feel like the Gospel is just too good to be true?

This message is a must-listen for anyone serving in ministry or leading others (especially students) through seasons of doubt and brokenness. Doug dives into Romans 10, spiritual rebirth, imposter syndrome, and what it means to lead others to faith - especially when you feel unqualified.

What if your calling isn't found in your perfection, but in your brokenness? In Can God Use Broken People?, Pastor Adam Smallcombe opens the Called of God series with a powerful look at Galatians 1, reminding us that calling isn't a result of competence. Through the life of Paul, we see that the crushing moments we try to avoid are often the very places where our calling is revealed. Open your heart and Bible, and discover how God can use your broken story for His glory.

Some of the best news in the Bible is that our failures are not final.  God doesn't just cancel us and move on to someone or something else.  Our God specializes in restoring people who have blown it.  This morning, we'll see how Jesus does that with Peter, the one who had denied Him three times. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on Romans 5:6–8, where we see the staggering contrast between who we are and who God is. While we were powerless, ungodly, and sinful, God loved us enough to send His Son to die in our place. Imagine choosing to die for people who could offer nothing in return—that's the kind of radical love God has shown us.

By Dan Preston - During the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, we examine ourselves to both remove sin and put in the righteous character of Jesus Christ. The problem is that no matter how we might try, we are still broken by sin. But just like you don't need perfect barrels to make good bourbon, God will use

What If God Wants to Use the Most Unlikely Story for Revival?In this bold and redemptive conversation, Kap Chatfield sits down with evangelist Ross Johnston to unpack a story that defies expectations and points to the radical grace of God. Raised in a same-sex household and battling spiritual confusion, Ross encountered Jesus at 15 and never looked back.

Written and directed by Tracie Laymon, BOB TREVINO LIKES IT tells the story of Lily (Barbie Ferreira), a woman who's life is marred by the constant verbal manipulations of her father, Bob Trevino (French Stewart).

As their relationship begins to grow, the two begin to see that they're both worthy of love, even if life seems to suggest otherwise. In this 1on1, we speak to Laymon about the beauty of broken people and finding our family.

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Trust and Forgiveness On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: This is a dramatic passage. I am curious as to what stood out to you when you read it. Do you think that people who manifest spiritual and emotional torture, usually in the form of actions that we associate with mental health disorders (e.g. isolation, self harm, antisocial, etc.), are typically viewed more as problems than people? Can we expect Jesus to radically transform mental health disorders today? We talk a lot about Jesus forgiving people of sin. Does Jesus also restore radically broken people back into society? And is that merely a theory, or are we actually okay with emotionally and mentally disturbed people returning to our community? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 9:7–10:20 Mark 4:26–5:20 Psalm 37:30-40 Proverbs 10:6-7

Podcast Intro: Gratitude is an ever-present concept in our lives, yet we often underestimate its power to transform our perspectives and experiences. The episode today was a great conversation with author, podcast host and speaker, Amanda Schaefer. She shared her insights on how the simplicity of gratitude can be more profound than we imagine, offering a window into a value system that transcends our earthly understanding. Gratitude, she explains, is not a trait some are simply born with, but a discipline and a choice that anyone can learn and embrace. It is an attitude that, when practiced intentionally, can lead to a profound transformation in one's spiritual and emotional life. Amanda discovered gratitude is part of our neural pathway that, once traveled repeatedly, becomes a well-worn trail in our minds. This practice of choosing to focus on the positive aspects of life, even amid challenges, reaps, peace, joy, and blessings.  By acknowledging the beauty and goodness around us, we can cultivate a mindset that anticipates good things and, in turn, experiences more of it. This is not to say that gratitude is a natural inclination for everyone; it requires conscious effort and practice. Amanda emphasizes that the discipline of gratitude is something that has to be developed, much like any other skill or habit. Once the habit is formed, you will naturally perceive and notice countless things to be thankful for. The practice of gratitude is not complicated. Amanda recounts how she began a simple morning routine of expressing gratitude before her feet even touched the ground. By starting the day with a focus on the goodness of God, she found that it set a positive tone for the rest of her day. When one is grateful, feelings of fear and anxiety are replaced with peace and joy, as gratitude and fear cannot coexist. Moreover, Amanda highlights the biblical perspective on gratitude. We talked about Philippians 4:8, which encourages believers to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. This verse encapsulates a heart posture of gratitude, guiding individuals to meditate on the good and praiseworthy things in life. In doing so, one aligns closer with a life of peace and intimacy with God. The act of focusing on gratitude is not just a spiritual exercise but a transformative experience that can renew the mind and spirit. Throughout this conversation Amanda reminds us, this practice of gratitude is within everyone's reach and can bring about profound personal and spiritual growth and create deeper intimacy with Christ.
