Growing up in the mountains of Tennessee, Daniel had a very “non-surf” childhood—until high school, when discovering Jack Johnson and the film Thicker Than Water completely changed his trajectory. After being drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays, Daniel did what any newly inspired surfer would do: he walked into a surf shop, bought his first board, and taught himself how to surf from scratch.As his time in the water grew, so did his curiosity about surfboards. Surrounded by shaper friends, Daniel decided to shape his own board—and quickly realized he had a real knack for it and a deep love for the craft. We talk about that transition, creativity beyond baseball, and finding purpose outside professional sports. Daniel also shares a bit about life at home with his wife, pro surfer Sage Erickson, and the joy of becoming a brand-new dad. A great conversation about following inspiration wherever it leads.Order a board!

December 21st, 2025 | Atrributes of Advent | Luke 2:9-20The Christmas season is often full—full of schedules, expectations, and emotions. In this message, Pastor Daniel Norris brings us back to the heart of Advent by reminding us that Christmas doesn't wait for us to have it all together. Instead, Christmas is the moment God stepped into our world.Drawing from Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Daniel unpacks two powerful attributes of Advent: the Glory of God and the Grace of God. As the glory of the Lord breaks into the darkness of an ordinary field, it reveals God's holiness and power. And as grace follows, it draws near to ordinary people—shepherds who were overlooked, insignificant, and fearful.This message explores how God's glory exposes our need, but His grace reassures us with good news of great joy for all people. Jesus doesn't arrive in strength or status, but in humility—wrapped in cloth, lying in a manger—so that no one has to climb to reach Him.Just like the shepherds, we're invited to respond: Will we stay in the field, or will we draw near and see what the Lord has done? This Advent message points us to the true meaning of Christmas—not what we feel about it, but what God has done through His Son.A timely reminder that the God we rightly fear is also the God who came near, bringing glory that overwhelms the darkness and grace that changes everything.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
November 23rd, 2025 | Standalone | Luke 17:11-19As we step into Thanksgiving week, Pastor Daniel Norris invites us to shift our hearts into a posture of gratitude—one that recognizes God's mercy, returns to Jesus in worship, and ultimately leads to a transformed life.Drawing from Luke 17:11–19, this message unpacks the story of ten lepers who encounter Jesus, yet only one returns in gratitude. Through vivid storytelling and personal reflection, Pastor Daniel explores how easy it is to become familiar with God's grace—so familiar that we forget to marvel at it. But a grateful heart remembers where Jesus was headed, recognizes the mercy we've received, and comes back to the feet of the One who gave it.In this episode, you'll discover:How gratitude begins when we remember the mercy Jesus extended long before we ever moved toward Him.Why obedience often precedes breakthrough, just as the lepers were healed “as they went.”What sets true gratitude apart—not just receiving God's blessings, but returning to the Blesser.How gratitude transforms us, making us whole from the inside out.Whether you feel like one of the nine who walked away or the one who returned, this message calls you to slow down, remember God's grace, and respond with a heart full of worship.Join us as we prepare for Thanksgiving by cultivating A Grateful Heart.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
July 13th, 2025 | The Love of God | 1 John 3:1-10In this powerful message, we continue our journey through 1 John in our series The Love of God. Pastor Daniel Norris reflects on the birth of his first son—an unforgettable moment that revealed the depths of love a father has for his child—and uses that lens to help us grasp an even greater truth: the radical, undeserved, life-changing love God has for His children.“What kind of love is this?” John asks. It's a love that doesn't make sense—a foreign, otherworldly love that redefines who we are, shapes who we're becoming, and transforms how we live.We dive into 1 John 3:1–10 and explore three key truths:The love of the Father defines youThe love of the Father shapes your futureThe love of the Father transforms your lifeThis isn't about perfection—it's about progress. It's not about earning God's love—it's about living from the security of already having it. Whether you're struggling with your identity, wrestling with sin, or simply needing to be reminded that you are deeply loved and fully adopted—this message is for you. "You're not a slave. You're a son. And sons live differently."Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

March 16, 2025 | Stand Alone | Revelation 2:4-5In this message from Revelation 2:4-5, Pastor Daniel Norris challenges us to take a spiritual “Heart Check.” Just as we visit the doctor for a physical exam, we need regular assessments of our spiritual health. Jesus praised the church in Ephesus for their hard work and endurance, but He had one concern—they had abandoned their first love.What do we do when our passion for Jesus isn't what it used to be? How do we move from routine religion back to a thriving relationship with Christ? This message explores the importance of remembering, repenting, and remaining in Him. Whether you feel like the younger son who has drifted far or the older brother who has lost intimacy, the call is the same—return to your first love.Join us as we dive into Scripture, reflect on where we stand with God, and respond to His invitation to renewal. It's time for a heart check. Are you ready?Listen now and be encouraged to take the next step in your walk with Christ.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
