This is it. The grand finale of our KINGDOM IMPACT series—and we're finishing strong. In this powerful conclusion, Sow the Seeds, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a message that digs deep beneath the surface of blessing and favor to expose the gritty, often unseen journey of spiritual growth. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, Luke 6:38, and John 12:24, this message is a vivid, faith-stirring reminder: you can't reap what you haven't sown. We've shouted over fruit, but today we honor the seed. We've talked stewardship, generosity, sacrifice—and now, God is calling us to Sow Big. Because before there are roots... before there are shoots... before there's fruit... there must be seed. And that seed isn't just financial—it's personal. It's your heart, your life, your yes to God. You'll hear how the Corinthian and Macedonian churches inspired each other toward radical generosity, and how the soil of your life doesn't respond to promises—it responds to planting. Pastor Travis challenges us to stop asking, “Where is my harvest?” and start asking, “Where are my seeds?” This message is raw, real, and deeply revealing. It's a spiritual call to move from comfort to commitment, from intention to impact, from withholding to wholehearted worship. Let's make a Kingdom Impact.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen recounts a week when every vehicle he relied on broke down at once, leaving him overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. While wrestling with the pressure of unmet needs, God used Colossians 2:6–7 to redirect his heart: the life of faith isn't powered by human problem-solving but by abounding with thanksgiving. As Dr. Jim began thanking God for the very things that were weighing him down, peace replaced panic and God provided in unmistakable ways. His story shows that genuine faith doesn't start when circumstances improve. Faith begins with “Thank You.”Topics DiscussedAn avalanche of vehicle breakdowns and impossible logisticsThe human tendency to try to figure everything out instead of walk by faithHow Colossians 2:6–7 ties faith and thanksgiving togetherThe difference between thanking God for blessings and thanking Him for burdensWhy thanksgiving is an act of faith, not a feelingHow choosing gratitude transforms your spirit in the middle of difficultyGod's surprising provision of a truck and SuburbanWhy the spiritual breakthrough mattered more than the material answersKey TakeawaysYou received Christ by faith, and you walk in Him the same way: by trusting Him enough to thank Him even before the answers come.Thanksgiving is not a reaction to good circumstances; it is the expression of faith that God is working when you cannot see how.When you choose to say “thank You” in the middle of pressure, God lifts the weight and gives grace that changes everything.Referenced ResourcesShort Clip: “Abounding Faith”The brief clip Dr. Jim saw on WhatsApp status from Bobby Bosler.Youtube Short, Instagram Reel, Facebook Reel, TikTok ShortFull Sermon: “Abounding with Thanksgiving”The full message Dr. Jim mentioned, unpacking Colossians 2:6–7 and the connection between faith and gratitude.Listen on Spotify, Listen on Apple Podcasts If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

In this episode, we expose a silent sin that is quietly weakening Christians from the inside out. Many believers overlook this area completely, yet Scripture warns us repeatedly about it. Gluttony, sloth, complacency, and lack of discipline are destroying the spiritual strength of countless Christians — and almost no one talks about it.Mallory and I break down what the Bible actually says, why this sin goes unnoticed, and how believers can defeat it through repentance, discipline, and walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).If you've ever felt spiritually dull, unmotivated, or stuck in cycles of comfort, this episode will help you see what's really going on — and how to overcome it through Christ.✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH MALLORY! https://biblicallyfeminine.com

Episode Summary: Christmas is often described as the most wonderful time of the year, but for many, it doesn’t feel that way. Whether because of grief, loneliness, financial strain, or painful memories, the holidays can intensify sadness instead of joy. Today on Your Hope-Filled Perspective, Jessica Van Roekel and I want to talk about what we call a ‘Blue Christmas.’ Together, we’ll explore why it’s important to give ourselves and others permission to grieve during the holiday season, how God meets us in our pain, and ways to navigate December with compassion and hope. Quotables from the episode: For some, Christmas brings laughter, lights, and loved ones. But for others, it’s a season that magnifies loss, heartache, or isolation. If you or someone you know is struggling this Christmas, you’re not alone. On today’s episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, Jessica Van Roekel and I will share how to give space for what we call a ‘Blue Christmas’—a time when we acknowledge that the holidays can be hard, while also discovering God’s gentle presence and the hope He offers, even in the midst of sorrow. I wanted to acknowledge that while Christmas is often referred to the most joyous time of year, it isn’t for everyone, and it’s important for us to acknowledge our thoughts and feelings, but simultaneously continue to put our hope in God. Often, Christmas is portrayed as magical, joyous, and full of peace. But for many, that’s simply not the reality. Grief, depression, loneliness, or broken family relationships can make Christmas feel heavy. And pretending everything is fine when it’s not only deepens the ache. God invites us to bring Him our honest emotions. Think about the Psalms—David poured out his sorrows, and yet found hope in God’s presence. Let’s name some reasons people might struggle at Christmas: Grief from losing a loved one. Family estrangement or broken relationships. Loneliness, especially for singles, widows, or those far from family. Financial hardship that makes gift-giving stressful. Mental health battles like depression or anxiety. Unmet expectations. Christmas can amplify those pains. Lights and carols may remind us of what we don’t have. But Jesus came into a world of darkness. Isaiah 9:2 says, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” His presence is especially near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Sometimes we pressure ourselves to “put on a happy face.” But it’s okay to grieve at Christmas. Lament is part of worship. Jesus Himself wept (John 11:35). If the Son of God cried at loss, then tears are holy too. Giving yourself permission to be real is not a lack of faith. We can also set boundaries. Maybe we can’t attend every party. Maybe we create new traditions that feel gentler for our souls this year. Sometimes the best gift is presence, not presents. Just sitting with someone, listening, or sending a simple “thinking of you” note can mean the world. And don’t say, “You should be happy, it’s Christmas.” Instead, validate their feelings. Romans 12:15 says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Another practical tip—invite them into your traditions in small ways, without pressure. Even a quiet cup of cocoa together can bring comfort. At the heart of Christmas is Emmanuel—God with us. That truth doesn’t change, whether our Christmas is merry or blue. We can both acknowledge sorrow and cling to hope. One way is through Scripture meditation. Even reading Luke 2 slowly and remembering that Christ entered a broken, chaotic world can remind us we’re not alone. Some practical things that help: Create a memory box or light a candle in honor of a loved one. Simplify expectations. You don’t have to do all the traditions. Prioritize rest and self-care. Spend time with safe people who encourage your heart. And when emotions overwhelm, breathe a prayer like: “Lord, hold me in this moment.” God doesn’t require eloquence—He wants our honesty. Friend, if you’re facing a Blue Christmas, know this: You are not broken because you feel sorrow. God sees you, loves you, and promises to draw near. He is “Immanuel—God with us.” That’s the real miracle of Christmas. Whether your Christmas is filled with joy or tears, His presence is your anchor. Scripture References: Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God…” Matthew 1:23 “They will call Him Immanuel, which means ‘God with us.’” Ecclesiastes 3:4 “a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance” Isaiah 9:2 “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” Psalm 34:18 His presence is especially near to the brokenhearted. Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

What comes out of your mouth...is it a pipeline from hell, or a channel of Heaven's grace? In a world saturated with profanity, gossip, and negative commands, it's time for Christians to retake our language.Join Vianca Joy for a powerful, practical episode of Serenity on Steroids that goes beyond “cursing is bad” and digs into the theology, psychology, and practice of Christ-honoring communication. Learn how corrupt talk isn't just vulgar...it's sapros (rotten), it's poverty of imagination, and it directly opposes the creative, life-giving nature of God's own words.Discover how to:Replace profanity with precision and powerTurn gossip into grace and prayerShift from “don't” and “stop” to language that builds and blessesTurn everyday conversations into sacramental moments

In Week 13 of our Everyday Mission series, we explore how God often calls us into moments that stretch our faith further than is comfortable. Acts 9:1–31 shows us a powerful picture of what it looks like to trust God beyond our limits — both in Saul's dramatic transformation and in Ananias' willingness to obey even when the path seemed risky. This episode invites you to consider where God may be asking you to step out, depend on Him, and participate in His mission in ways you never imagined.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What if the power you've seen in overseas crusades could break open your city this month? We gather with pastors and missionaries who have led tens of thousands into life-changing encounters and unpack the simple, transferable patterns that turn hunger into harvest. From stadiums in Bangladesh to a high school football field in Florida, the stories point to the same truth: when you train people to pray with authority, choose visible ground, and tell the full gospel plainly, doors open—sometimes even through the marquee of a Baptist church along the interstate.Taylor Fish recounts how apostolic mentoring rewired his approach to miracles—moving from pleading to commanding, the way Jesus did. That shift unlocked a flood of healings and fresh confidence he now carries onto college campuses and city streets. David Myers shares how five canceled trips during lockdown sparked a bold pivot at home: renting local venues, filling them with seekers, and partnering with a Baptist pastor for a Jesus Tent that led to baptisms and Spirit outpourings night after night. Missionary James Corbin adds the long view from Bangladesh: crusades don't just count conversions; they lift the faith of an entire national church and remind weary leaders they are not alone.We don't sidestep the chaos of the moment. Fear visits everyone, even bold evangelists. The answer isn't retreat; it's prayer, proclamation, and partnership. Speak faith out loud. Knock on doors you assume are closed. Refuse to flinch when the world shakes. If you're ready to turn conviction into action—locally, personally, and globally—this conversation will give you a clear path: train, gather, declare, and watch God move.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more people find these tools for city-shaking, Spirit-led evangelism.

In this episode the Apostle Peter describes one of the most dramatic encounters he had with Jesus when he and James and John were taken up a mountain one night by Jesus where they literally heard the voice of God declare that Jesus was the Son of the God! Yet he goes on to say that there is something even more persuasive for anyone — if they would open their hearts and accept it. The two New Testament epistles ascribed to the Apostle Peter are lesser known by most Christians than the Epistles of the Apostle Paul. Some scholars believe that First Peter may have been written to young Christians and may have even served as a 'catechism' for those about to be water baptised. In this episode, we look at how Peter presents God as Father, Son, and Spirit, and how Christianity commences with becoming 'born again'. But this is not where Christianity ends - and that aged Apostle Peter gives instructions on how a new believer is to grow in the faith by exploring what the knowledge of God and HIs grace requires.

Winning When You’re Tired, Anxious, and Under Attack Most Christians aren’t losing the battle because their faith is weak, they’re losing because their thought life is unprotected. In this episode, Jon exposes the real frontline of spiritual warfare: the mind. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, burnout, comparison, and identity lies are not just emotional struggles, they’re spiritual attacks with mental symptoms. Jon walks you through how the enemy weaponizes your thoughts, how to tear down strongholds, and how to renew your mind with the Word of God so you can finally walk in clarity, confidence, and peace. If you’ve felt overwhelmed mentally, spiritually exhausted, or trapped in your own head, this episode gives you the tools, Scriptures, and Spirit-led truths you need to win the war for your mind and live the life of The Uncommon Christian. Your mind is a battlefield, and the enemy knows it. In this episode, Jon shows you how to defeat anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and spiritual exhaustion by taking back control of your thought life through the power of God’s Word and the renewing of your mind. This is the roadmap to winning the war in your head and walking in uncommon clarity and freedom.

Episode Summary: While Norman Rockwall paints pictures of the holiday season as times of cheerful family togetherness, many feel unseen, especially during the holidays. Maybe you’re walking through this season feeling like no one really sees you. Maybe you’re single and longing for companionship, grieving the loss of a loved one, or feeling disconnected even in a crowd. The holidays can be a stark reminder of what we feel is missing in our lives. We see others celebrating with their families, opening presents, and engaging in joyful traditions, while we may feel forgotten or left behind. But even when the world seems to overlook you, God never does. Join me as we into a topic that touches so many hearts, especially during the holiday season: Finding Hope and Purpose When You Feel Invisible. Quotables from the episode: Loneliness isn’t just about being physically alone. It’s about feeling unseen, unheard, or unimportant. And during the holidays, this feeling can be magnified. We see families gathering, couples exchanging gifts, and social media flooded with highlight reels of happy moments—but what if you feel left out of that joy? There are many reasons why people feel overlooked during the holidays. Some have lost loved ones and feel their absence more acutely this time of year. Others may be estranged from family or struggling with difficult relationships. Some are facing financial hardship, making it hard to participate in the celebrations around them. Still, others feel overlooked in the workplace, in friendships, or even in ministry, wondering if what they do truly matters. Friend, just like He saw Hagar, He sees you too. No situation is too small or too big to escape His loving gaze. Maybe you feel invisible in your workplace, like your efforts go unnoticed. Maybe you feel unseen in your own family, where your needs seem to take a backseat to everyone else’s. Or maybe you’ve been crying out to God for an answer, and it feels like the heavens are silent. I want to assure you that God is not distant. He is near, and He sees every part of your heart. The enemy wants us to believe we are forgotten, but that’s a lie. The truth? God has always had His eye on you. God sees every detail of your life. He sees your silent tears and hears the prayers you can’t even put into words. He knows the longing in your heart and the dreams you’ve tucked away. You are not invisible to Him. I have to wonder if perhaps Jesus felt the same way when He asked His closest disciples to stay awake with Him in the garden, and yet they slept. Yet in that place He poured out His heart to His Heavenly Father. Throughout Scripture, we see God’s attentive love. Jesus noticed the outcasts—the woman at the well, the lepers, the woman with the issue of blood, the blind man begging on the roadside. He saw the ones society ignored, and He still does today. When you feel unseen, remember this: Jesus stops for the one. He stops for you. Even Jesus experienced feeling forsaken when He cried out on the cross, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?”(Matthew 27:46). But God had not abandoned Him, just as He will never abandon you. Even in our darkest moments, God is working behind the scenes. He is near, even when we don’t feel it. Anchor Yourself in God’s Word – Fill your mind with Scriptures that remind you of God’s deep love for you. Shift Your Focus – When we focus on what we lack, we feel emptier. But when we focus on God’s presence and His promises, our hearts find peace. Start by playing uplifting praise and worship music, then consider starting a gratitude journal, writing down ways God has shown up in your life, comforted you, or helped you feel seen. Reach Out – Sometimes, we isolate ourselves when we feel unseen. I encourage you to take a step—send a text, call a friend, or join a community where you can encourage others too. Spend Time in His Presence – God is enough. Sit with Him. Talk to Him. Let Him fill the spaces where you feel unseen. One of the beautiful ways we can reflect God’s love is by helping others feel seen. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us that God comforts us so we can comfort others. When we encourage others, God blesses us as well. Notice the unnoticed – Look for those who may feel left out and extend kindness to them. Speak life – A simple encouragement can make someone’s day. Be present – Sometimes, the greatest gift is simply being there for someone. God sees us, and He invites us to see others the way He does. My friend, if you feel invisible today, remember this: You are fully known and fully loved by the God who created the universe. God is the God who sees you, and He loves you deeply. Hold onto hope.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 16:13, we are called to live the Christian life with intention and courage. Paul gives four clear commands: watch, stand firm in the faith, be brave, and be strong—reminding us that followers of Jesus don't drift into faithfulness; we pursue it with purpose.

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Are we allowing anything—sin, pride, fear, or worldliness—to grieve or quench the Spirit of God in our lives? Have we invited the Holy Spirit not only to dwell in us but to fill us completely and lead us daily?As we close this four-part series on receiving God's power, we are left with a profound and essential truth: the Christian life is not lived by our effort, strength, or resolve, but by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering us. Jesus' words in Luke 24:49, “Tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high,” remind us that we must first receive before we can obey. The Spirit of God is given at salvation, yet His filling is to be sought and received daily through surrender, humility, abiding in the Word, and prayer. We've seen that sin, pride, fear, worldliness, and even careless speech can grieve or quench the Spirit, hindering His work in us. But as we yield every part of our hearts—removing the “Private” signs on locked closets—the Spirit fills, sanctifies, convicts, comforts, guides, teaches, and glorifies Jesus through us. He is the very presence of God within us, the engine of our walk, and the power for our witness. Just as the early disciples turned the world upside down after receiving the Spirit, so too can our lives bear fruit when we are wholly surrendered to His leading. May we be a people marked by His power—not for show, but for the glory of Christ alone. And may this teaching not remain a concept but become our daily cry: “Lord, fill me afresh. I can't—but You never said I could. You can—and You always said You would.” Amen.

In this episode, Bobby reflects on six months of pastoring and draws young people into a powerful truth from Psalm 32. God desires to lead His children with the slightest glance, not the painful pressure required for a stubborn horse or mule. Through vivid imagery and practical challenge, you'll hear how walking closely with God creates a life guided by subtle nudges instead of force — and surrounded by His steadfast love. This is a call to live so near to Him that a simple look is enough to move your heart.Topics DiscussedAdjusting from itinerant evangelism to long-term shepherdingThe spiritual impact of “Awake '25” and formative influencesHow God leads through intimate relationship rather than forceThe meaning of “I will guide thee with mine eye” in Psalm 32The danger of spiritual stubbornness and the imagery of the bit and bridleThe process of being “broken” and why surrender requires trustHow God's hesed — His covenant love — surrounds the yielded believerMoving from external pressure to internal responsivenessPractical examples of hearing God's quiet nudges in daily lifeEncouragement for young people to walk closely and obediently with GodKey TakeawaysGod desires to lead you relationally, not mechanically. Intimacy makes His smallest prompt clear.A stubborn heart forces God to use painful circumstances to get your attention; a surrendered heart responds to a whisper.Trust is the foundation of surrender. You will not follow God's subtle leadings unless you believe His way is good.God's lovingkindness surrounds those who walk near Him, protecting and guiding them in every direction.Yielding to God daily positions you to live a life marked by His presence, His prompting, and His overflowing love.Resource LinksDr. Jim Van Gelderen – “0/100” / “God's Theological Continental Divide”(Link placeholder: INSERT 0/100 SERMON URL)Additional sermons by Dr. John Van Gelderen(Link placeholder: INSERT JOHN VAN GELDEREN SERMON COLLECTION URL)Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast(Link placeholder: INSERT FBC PODCAST URL)Current sermon series (Matthew, 1 Corinthians, Proverbs, Galatians)(Link placeholder: INSERT SERIES PAGE OR MAIN SERMON ARCHIVE URL) If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.
