In this message, Pastor Josh closes out our Good News series by unpacking the story of the Samaritan woman and her unforgettable encounter with Jesus.

Feeling burned out by marketing? You're not alone.

What if God's big plan to reach the world… is you? That's what this message is all about. Not your pastor. Not a platform. You. Your life, your words, your response to pressure, fatigue, criticism, and everyday moments. In this message, Pastor Josh pulls back the curtain on what it really means to live the gospel — not just preach it, but embody it. We're not just saved from something — we're saved for something. You were made to be an ambassador of heaven, and yes, God picked you on purpose. But let's be honest — there's a lot that fights against that calling. The fear of people's opinions. The pull of pride and selfishness. The weight of burnout. This message will stir something in you, challenge you, and remind you that the power to live this out doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from staying close to Jesus. Because apart from Him, we can do nothing. But with Him? We can light up the world.   Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

In this episode, Jessi Hersey bravely shares her story of surviving two forms of coercive control: childhood grooming by her drum teacher and emotional manipulation within the Twin Flames Universe online cult. As a neurodivergent survivor, Jessi reflects on how her autism both made her more vulnerable and more attuned to subtle forms of abuse. She discusses the long-term impact of grooming, the cult's use of “mirror exercises” to control beliefs, and her journey to reclaim safety and identity. Jessi's story highlights the urgent need for awareness around neurodivergence, grooming, and online spiritual coercion.---

What do you do when life does not go as planned? When disappointment, failure, or even spiritual burnout make you want to give up and go back to what you knew before? In this message, Pastor Josh takes us deep into Galatians 4 to ask a simple but soul-stirring question: Why do we go back when we've already been set free? Whether it is old habits, a religious mindset, or just a broken view of God's love, this message reminds us that the Gospel is not about earning approval — it is about responding to a love that was never based on performance in the first place. This is more than a sermon. It is an invitation to return to the Father, to grace, to freedom. With raw honesty and powerful storytelling, Pastor Josh shares how we often drift away, not out of rebellion but from forgetting who we are in Christ. But the good news is this: we can always come back. And when we do, we do not find a God with arms crossed — we find a Father running toward us with arms open. Watch this now, and let the Gospel rewrite the story you have been living. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

What if the version of the gospel you're living… isn't the gospel at all? This week's message is a bold and heartfelt wake-up call about what the gospel truly is and what it's not. Pastor Josh goes into Paul's letter to the Galatians, exposing how easy it is to drift from the simplicity of the good news into performance-driven faith. From fake news peddled by modern belief systems to the subtle religious mindsets we pick up in church, this message will both challenge and encourage you to anchor your identity in Christ alone. Plus, stick around for some classic humor, personal honesty, and a moving Father's Day reminder: you don't have to live like a guest in God's house when He's already called you His child. It's time to stop striving for approval and start living from it. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today? Fill out our digital connection card: https://churchontherock.net/connect-card

At Church on the Rock, we're not here to play church. We're here to experience the life-giving, eternity-shifting power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks why the Gospel isn't just good advice—it's good news. Because at its core, the message of Jesus isn't about behavior—it's about life or death. If you've ever felt like church is only for people who “have it all together,” this episode is for you. Rooted in Romans 6:23, John 10:10, and John 3, we look at why the Gospel isn't about moral performance but about transformation. You'll discover what Jesus really meant when He promised life and life abundantly, how your identity in Christ comes before your activity, and why so many people say “no” to the greatest exchange in history—and how not to. The truth is simple: Jesus doesn't need you to clean up first. He came to bring you back to life.   Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

What if you could explain the most life-changing message in just a few clear, powerful words? This video unpacks the Great Exchange—where Jesus traded His righteousness for our sinfulness—offering forgiveness, freedom, and new life to anyone who believes. Rooted in Romans 1:16, we stand unashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. Yet many Christians still feel hesitant to share this hope. Why? And how can we change that? We'll explore how to overcome fear with humility and clarity, and how to confidently share your faith—without being pushy or awkward.

Life or death — what would you choose? It seems like an easy question, but Jesus chose death so that we could have life. This Easter message explores the essence of that choice: a love so unwavering that it endured public humiliation, 39 lashes, a crown of thorns, and the cross. From Palm Sunday's cheers to Good Friday's cries for crucifixion, we see the fickleness of humanity—and the faithfulness of our Savior. Jesus didn't just talk about love—He proved it through sacrifice. As the Good Shepherd, He laid down His life for His flock, offering us righteousness in exchange for our sin. Now the choice is ours: will we follow Him only when it's easy, or will we choose His way even when it costs us something?   Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

Seattle's school board kicked off the superintendent search process on March 25th following Dr. Brent Jones' announced departure, authorizing President Gina Topp to begin seeking proposals from search firms under an ambitious timeline targeting a September appointment. Board members expressed hesitancy over the rapid pace, with Directors Sarju, Rankin, and Hersey advocating for an interim superintendent to allow for a more thorough search, especially considering four board seats are up for election this fall. All agreed to proceed with taking the next step toward hiring a superintendent search firm, while keeping options open. This search unfolds against a backdrop of significant challenges including budget deficits, failed school closure proposals, and eroding community trust, with Seattle averaging just three years per superintendent over the past two decades.-- Christie RobertsonEpisode updated March 27 9:40am - Thanks for a listener for letting us know that the North Shore superintendent search is still in progress - https://www.nsd.org/our-district/leadership/superintendent-searchSee our Show NotesSupport the showContact us at hello@rainydayrecess.org.Rainy Day Recess music by Lester Mayo, logo by Cheryl Jenrow.

In this message, we unpack what it really means to share your faith and why it's a vital part of your spiritual journey. Just like Roman soldiers wore cleats to move forward in battle, we're called to move forward with the gospel—not stand still in our faith. Many believers struggle with sharing their faith because of fear: fear of rejection, judgment, or simply not knowing what to say. But the truth is, evangelism isn't about having all the right answers—it's about sharing what Jesus has done in your life. You don't need a theology degree to make an eternal impact—just a willing heart and a personal story. You'll learn three simple, practical ways to share your faith: ➡️ Share your personal testimony ➡️ Offer to pray for someone ➡️ Introduce people to Jesus directly Whether you're a seasoned believer or just getting started, this message will empower you to break through fear and step into your God-given role as a witness to His love and power.   Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

This episode is a review of Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey. Leaders, how are you resting in your transitions? What were you taught about rest? What do you believe about rest? Some say, "I'll rest when I'm dead." Others say, "I'll rest when I finish this or that." Tricia Hersey, founder of the Rest Is Resistance framework, shares other thoughts about rest. Much more than an exhortation to rest, this book faults capitalism and white supremacy--starting on plantations-- as the generator of what we know today as grind culture. Full of reasoning, anecdotes, inspirations and calls to action, Hersey has inspired many to set a rest practice with intention.

1. The Nap Ministry's Nap Bishop shares small, concrete ways to bring rest into our own lives – especially when rest seems impossible.  2. Why so many of us feel like machines instead of humans – and the power of imagination as a spiritual practice to reconnect with our humanity and divinity. 3. Why grind culture – a collaboration of capitalism and white supremacy – wants to keep us exhausted, and how we can resist a culture of overwhelming busy-ness.   4. Why everything changes when we embrace ease as our birthright.  5. Creative ways to reimagine rest within our hectic daily lives.  About Tricia Tricia Hersey is a Chicago native who has called Georgia home for the last 12 years. She has over 20 years of experience as a multidisciplinary artist, writer, theologian and community organizer. She is the founder of The Nap Ministry, an organization that examines rest as a form of resistance and reparations by curating spaces for the community to rest via community rest activations, immersive workshops, performance art installations, and social media. Her research interests include Black liberation theology, womanism, somatics, and cultural trauma. She is the author of the upcoming book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto which will be published in October 2022. You can learn more about her work and the book at thenapministry.com.

Are you worn out from trying to be "good enough" for God? In this message from our Battle Rattle series on the armor of God, we go into the Breastplate of Righteousness—a powerful truth that can set you free. Righteousness isn't something we achieve through effort; it's something we receive through Christ. When we try to earn it, we either fall into self-righteousness or self-condemnation. But when we understand that Christ's righteousness has been credited to us, we can walk in confidence, security, and grace. Join us as we explore how the breastplate of righteousness protects our hearts, covers our failures, and reminds us that we are fully accepted by God—not because of what we do, but because of what Jesus has already done.   Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

Is what you believe actually true? Satan's greatest weapon isn't temptation—it's deception. In this message, we unpack the importance of truth in spiritual warfare and how the enemy actively works to manipulate, deceive, and destroy lives. Truth isn't just an idea; it's a person—Jesus Christ. He is our foundation and protection against the enemy's schemes. Satan primarily attacks in three ways: 1️⃣ Casting doubt on the reliability of Scripture 2️⃣ Making you question your worth as God's creation 3️⃣ Challenging God's goodness based on circumstances   The belt of truth, the first piece of the armor of God (Ephesians 6), holds everything together. To stand firm against deception, we must: ✅ Fully submit to God's Word—not just follow parts of it ✅ Embrace our identity as God's masterpiece ✅ Learn the difference between God's loving conviction and Satan's destructive condemnation When we recognize and replace the enemy's lies with God's truth, we walk in spiritual victory and authentic faith.

Are you fighting the right battles? Too often, we struggle against people, circumstances, or even ourselves—when the real enemy is unseen.

In this message, we'll uncover: ⚔️ The true nature of our battles—spiritual, not physical.

Världshistoriens mest kända krigsfotograf hette Robert Capa. Välj om du vill lägga på ett brett amerikanskt cääppää eller säga ”kappa” som vore det ett höstplagg du pratar om. Vi gör bäggedera i avsnittet. Han föddes… på 1930-talet när två unga judiska fotografer i Paris: Endre Friedmann och Gerda Pohorylle hittade på honom.Så kan livet bli. Om man syr upp en ny och spännande kostym kan man växa in i den. Vilket är vad som sker när Endre Friedmann blir Robert Capa. Han fotograferade fem krig – från spanska inbördeskriget till Vietnamkriget. Mest känd blev han för sina odödliga foton från landstigningen vid Normandie.Capa levde livet som en film i vilket han hade huvudrollen. Festerna var många, flickvännerna var världskändisar och Ernest Hemingway gjorde gästspel som skruvad fadersfigur. Och som i alla bra filmer kunde han tangera gränserna för vad som egentligen var sant eller inte.Det är huvudtemat i vårt avsnitt om Capa.

Continuing the first season of our Earthly Reads series, we are thrilled to share a new conversation with beloved guest Tricia Hersey. Sharing sweet balm from her new book WE WILL REST! The Art of Escape, Tricia reminds us of the art of being alive. In this meditative episode, Tricia asks listeners what it might mean to have faith in mystery and to begin without knowing the full course. Throughout the episode, she shares wisdom about the power of attempt and what it means to try without the fear of being wrong. WE WILL REST! The Art of Escape is both book and sacred object, and Tricia shares with us her process of dreaming and creating the piece.  Her book offers serene moments of reflection and decisive calls to action, just as this episode does. Inspired by Tricia's words, we "thank you for living" and for listening along with us. Tricia Hersey is a multidisciplinary artist, theologian, escape artist and founder of The Nap Ministry. She is the global pioneer and originator of the “rest as resistance” and “rest as reparations” frameworks, and collaborates with communities all over the world to create sacred spaces where the liberatory, restorative, and disruptive power of rest can take hold. Tricia's work is seeded within the soils of Black radical thought, somatics, Afrofuturism, womanism, and liberation theology. She is a Chicago native who believes in daydreaming, porch sitting, and poetry.Earthly Reads is a podcast series and online book study featuring conversations with some of our favorite authors including adrienne maree brown, Marcia Bjornerud, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Prentis Hemphill Tricia Hersey, and Céline Semaan.

Do we truly see God's Word for the immense value it holds for our hearts and lives? Today, Pastor Josh continues our Teach Me series with a powerful message, Teach Me By Your Word. In this sermon, we look to how God's Word is not only good for us but also provides practical applications for every area of our lives. From teaching and correcting to equipping us for every good work, Scripture is a gift meant to transform us. We'll also look at Genesis 1 to see how God's Word brings order and light into the chaos and darkness of our lives, just as it did in the beginning of creation. Let this message inspire you to embrace the power of God's Word and allow it to lead, guide, and transform your life!

It's the TodCast PodCast you know and love—awkward, hilarious, and a little bit absurd.

In this week's episode, Jennifer welcomes Shelton Oakley Hersey. Shelton is an accomplished dialogue specialist with a Master's in Intercultural Studies, dedicated to fostering meaningful conversations and reconciliation. With significant experience in interreligious dialogue and community building through her work at Unite Boston, Shelton is committed to addressing the barriers around Christian unity and being an ambassador of repair and reconciliation. Her journey has taken her from South Africa, where she engaged in race and economic relations dialogue, to Boston, where she trains communities on fruitful conversational practices. Jennifer and Shelton dive deep into the importance of respectful dialogue in today's polarized society. They discuss how structured conversations with ground rules can change the outcome, fostering unity despite disagreements.

In this message, we go to John 13, exploring the humility of Jesus and the power of living with a teachable spirit. As part of our 21 Days of Prayer, we focus on aligning our walk with God's will, cleansing our "feet" as we navigate the challenges of life. Jesus' act of washing the disciples' feet, including Judas', highlights the call to serve others with love, humility, and forgiveness—even when it's inconvenient or uncomfortable. Learn practical ways to engage with God's Word, grow in your faith, and carry one another's burdens as the body of Christ. Whether through bringing your Bible, utilizing the YouVersion app, or reflecting on the powerful example of Jesus, this message invites you to surrender all and walk in obedience.
