In Week 3 of our Lent series, we sit with Jesus' intense words in Matthew 5:27–30 and talk about how desire and attention form us over time. We explore the “private means harmless” script, how triggers and habit loops get wired into our lives, and what it looks like to bring things into the light and enact wise boundaries that help us learn to see people, and ourselves, as whole again.TNL Church: Growing into the people we're created to be as we join God to incite love, reduce suffering, and increase joy.

Cycle Breaking, Self-Compassion, and Trusting Your Body's Wisdom Trusting Dorothy Podcast | 12 Weeks of Free Coaching Week 4 Are you exhausted from starting over every Monday? Tired of white-knuckling your way through diets only to end up right back where you started, maybe even more frustrated with yourself? This episode is for you. In Week 4 of the free 12-week coaching series, we're diving deep into one of the most powerful shifts you can make on your health journey: breaking the cycles that keep you stuck not with more willpower, but with self-compassion, body awareness, and a whole new way of listening to yourself. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the guilt-binge cycle keeps repeating — and what's actually driving it (hint: it's not a lack of discipline) How shame makes habit change harder, not easier — what the research actually says The truth about "mind over matter" and why this common motivational phrase may be working against you How to recognize your personal patterns — daily, weekly, and monthly cycles that influence your hunger, energy, and choices Simple, body-based tools to pause and disrupt a cycle in the moment without judgment A powerful reframe: from mind over matter → mind with matter Key Takeaways The Guilt Binge Cycle (And How to Break It) Guilt doesn't break the pattern, it fuels it. When we break our own rules around food, guilt can actually become permission to keep going. Add in food restriction and deprivation, and your body's hunger hormones ramp up, making the cycle almost biological. Understanding why this happens is the first step to changing it. Your Body Has Cycles From the afternoon energy dip to the week before your period when hunger spikes, your body is constantly sending signals. Learning to recognize these rhythms rather than labeling them as failures is where real change begins. Why "Mind Over Matter" Might Be Holding You Back We explore why training yourself to override physical signals, in workouts and in life can actually disconnect you from your body's wisdom. The new approach? Mind with matter, using your mind to listen to your body, not silence it. Practical Tools to Pause the Pattern Front load your day with protein and fiber Use movement (a plank, jumping jacks, body tapping) to discharge stress and interrupt automatic behaviors Try a somatic pause before returning to food mindfully Neutralize food, there's no "good" or "bad," only what nourishes you in different ways Who This Episode Is For This episode is for women who are done with dieting and ready to build a relationship with food and their body rooted in trust, not control. Whether you're in the middle of a habit reset, feeling the motivation dip around week 4, or just starting to question why traditional "willpower" approaches haven't worked, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. ______________________________________________________________________ ✨ Ready to go deeper?Sign up through the link in the show notes and join this 12-week coaching experience.

In Week 3 of Kingdom Code, we dive into Gospel of Matthew 12:22–32 — a powerful moment where a miracle sparks controversy and exposes the condition of the human heart.After Jesus delivers a demon-possessed man, the crowd is divided. Some recognize the work of God. Others accuse Him of operating by darkness. In response, Jesus makes three things clear: He came to deliver, neutrality isn't an option, and a hardened heart is dangerous.

You cannot pour from an empty cup, yet the world often expects us to have an infinite supply of energy. In Week 4, we tackle the reality of capacity. We move from “Direction” (Week 3) to “Fuel,” learning to treat our energy as a precious, limited resource. In this episode, we explore: The Internal Battery: Why “existing” with a disability costs more energy (“The Energetic Cost”) and how to budget for the “Background Apps” you are running. Managing Urgency Culture: Differentiating between a true emergency (danger) and someone else's poor planning (inconvenience). The Buffer Menu: Specific scripts to buy yourself time, including “The Calendar Check” and “Navigation Mode.” The Internal Metronome: A somatic tool to slow your heart rate when the world tries to rush you. High-Stakes Advocacy: Using the “Broken Record” technique to hold boundaries with doctors and systems.

In Week 2 of our series Indicators: 6 Tests of Spiritual Growth, we ask the question: Am I bearing the fruit of the Spirit? We walk through John 15 to see that spiritual growth isn't measured by activity alone — it's revealed through Christlike fruit that increases over time.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Conflict is inevitable in every relationship, but it doesn't have to be destructive. In Week 3 of our Let's Talk series, Pastors Josh and Kara Joines tackle one of the most important skills for healthy relationships: learning how to fight fair.Whether you're married, dating, or navigating any relationship, this message will equip you with biblical tools to handle conflict with grace, communicate without tearing each other down, and actually come out stronger on the other side.In this message, you'll discover:✅ Why conflict isn't what destroys relationships (it's how we handle it)✅ The wrong enemy, wrong motives, and wrong tactics we use when fighting dirty✅ How to control your response instead of reacting in anger✅ The power of confronting with love and listening carefully✅ Why forgiveness is the key to protecting unity in every relationshipThe health of your marriage isn't determined by how often you fight. It's determined by how well you repair. And when you learn to process conflict God's way, you don't just survive disagreements, you grow closer through them.Key Scriptures:Philippians 2:1-2, Ephesians 6:12, James 4:1-2, Proverbs 14:29, Ephesians 4:26, Matthew 5, 1 Peter 4:8Don't let unresolved conflict steal the blessing of unity in your relationships. Watch this message, apply these principles, and discover how to fight fair, love well, and build relationships that last.

In Week 5 of Rooted, Pastor Tony works through Colossians 3:18–4:6, where Paul brings the gospel into three arenas of ordinary life: the home, the workplace, and our relationships with those outside the church. From marriage to Monday morning to everyday conversations, we'll see how a life rooted in Christ produces sacrifice, excellence, and wisdom in the places we spend the most time.

What if the reason you're exhausted is because you've put yourself at the center of the story?In Week 4 of TikTok Theology, we uncover the lie beneath manifesting, astrology, and so many of the self-centered theology videos you'll hear online. Acts 8 shows us two paths. One leads to pressure. The other leads to rest.This message answers the question, how do I free me from me?

God is speaking. The real question is: are we listening?In Week 5 of Hearing God, we move beyond the basics and step into something deeper, the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. What does it look like to let “the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” (Colossians 3:15)? How do you make major decisions without being driven by pressure, fear, emotion, or the rush to act? This message unpacks the role of your conscience, the difference between being driven by the flesh and led by the Spirit, and why peace is often the clearest indicator of God's direction. You'll learn how God speaks through impressions, nudges, dreams, cautions, and His Word written on your heart. We also explore how a wounded, seared, or guilty conscience can distort your ability to hear Him.If you're facing a big decision about career, family, relationships, health, or your faith, this teaching will help you slow down, guard your heart, and pursue a clear conscience so you can walk forward with confidence.You don't have to live pressured and confused. You can live led.

Grief isn't something we avoid — it's something we learn to walk through with Jesus. In Week 2 of The Struggle is Real, we look at John 11 and the shortest, most powerful verse: “Jesus wept.” What do you do when you trust God but don't understand His plan? This message reminds us that God won't heal what we're unwilling to feel, that we were never meant to grieve alone, and that sometimes the peace that surpasses understanding only comes when we give up our need to understand. If you're walking through loss, pain, or unanswered questions, this one is for you.

What does it actually mean to have “every spiritual blessing” in Christ?In Week 4 of our Ephesians series, we look closely at Ephesians 1:3 and unpack what Paul means when he says God “has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”This message challenges a common assumption: that blessing is mainly about health, comfort, or success. Paul points us somewhere deeper. The greatest blessings aren't physical. They're spiritual. They're rooted in who we are in Christ.In this sermon we explore:Why God's blessing comes before our praiseThe difference between physical and spiritual blessingWhat it means to be “in Christ”The role of the Holy Spirit in our livesWhy no curse, accusation, or past failure defines youHow Romans 8 anchors our identity in the love of GodIf you've ever felt defined by your past, weighed down by shame, or afraid of what's been spoken over your life, this message is for you.If you are in Christ, you are not cursed.You are not abandoned.You are not defined by what's been done to you.You are blessed. And nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

In Week 4 of Becoming: Navigating Your Journey of Faith, John Crawford takes us into one of the most defining stages of spiritual growth. The wall. That moment when faith feels hard, disappointment sets in, and we begin to question what God is doing.With honesty and vulnerability, John shares from his own story of hurt, bitterness, and nearly walking away. He unpacks Psalm 73 and the journey of Asaph, a worship leader who almost lost his footing when envy and self focus clouded his vision. It is a powerful reminder that walls are not signs of failure. They are pivot points. Moments where we either drift further from God or choose to surrender more deeply.This message speaks to anyone who feels stuck, overlooked, frustrated, or spiritually dry. It gently exposes the danger of bitterness and self pity, while offering a hopeful path forward through obedience and trust. If you are at a crossroads in your faith, this episode will help you see that the wall is not the end of your story. It might just be the place where God shapes you most

In Week 2 of the Culture of Hunger series, Pastor Hazen Stevens calls us back to a deep, joyful longing for Scripture. Psalm 119 stands at the center of the Bible as a testimony to wholehearted devotion—“Blessed are those whose way is blameless… who seek Him with all their heart.” The psalmist doesn't merely respect God's Word—he delights in it, hides it in his heart, and builds his life upon it.This message reminds us that there is no other book like the Bible. It is living and active. It reveals Christ. It forms maturity. Without a steady diet of Scripture, we live without protection, correction, or direction.Key Scriptures:Psalm 119:1–16, Hebrews 4:12, John 1:1–14, Ephesians 6:17, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Matthew 4, Matthew 5, Luke 22:37, Matthew 7:24–27, James 1:22, Colossians 3:16Main Points:1. The Word is unlike any other book—it is living, active, and reveals Christ2. The Word Protects – “It is written” (Matthew 4)3. The Word Corrects – “You have heard… but I tell you” (Matthew 5)4. The Word Directs – Jesus let Scripture guide even His suffering (Luke 22:37)5. Storms reveal foundation—steady intake of Scripture builds resilience6.

In Week 2 of Multiply: The Discipleship Journey, Jay Austin, Brandon Reid, and Caden Sichler to walk through the three fires that shaped Peter's story, from failure in the courtyard, to forgiveness on the shore, to a life fueled by restored purpose. Through powerful moments in Mark 14 and John 21, they unpack how fear can shrink our faith, how grace restores what shame tries to bury, and how surrender turns broken moments into burning conviction. This episode challenges listeners to step out of comfort, embrace restoration, and allow God to transform failure into fruitful, multiplying faith.

In Week 7 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Matt Piland addresses a vital question: How do we actually live out the life God has called us to? Many of us treat our faith like a car loan—believing Jesus made the "down payment" on the cross, but that it's now our job to sustain the monthly payments through sheer willpower and "trying harder." Drawing from Galatians 5, Pastor Matt breaks down the difference between legalism and true freedom in Christ. Following Jesus isn't about a factory-style production of "being good"; it's about a garden-style growth that comes through the Holy Spirit. If you've been feeling spiritually exhausted by your own human effort, this message is a call to stop trying to maintain in the flesh what was only ever meant to be completed by the Holy Spirit.

What if weight loss didn't require more discipline… but a new identity? In Week 3 of the 12 Weeks Free Coaching series, we explore how becoming the woman you want to be, rather than chasing results creates sustainable weight loss, better habits, and a deeper sense of confidence and peace in your body. If you're in your 40s and tired of starting over, using willpower, or feeling stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, this episode will help you approach change in a way that actually lasts. We talk about shifting your mindset from punishment and restriction to joy, aliveness, and identity-based habits so healthy choices become natural instead of forced. This episode is about loving the journey, rewriting unhelpful self-talk, and building habits that support the version of you you're becoming. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✔ Why results alone won't create lasting change ✔ How identity-based habits support sustainable weight loss ✔ The difference between discipline and becoming the person you want to be ✔ How to enjoy the process instead of waiting to feel good later ✔ Why loving the journey improves consistency and long-term success ✔ How to rewrite negative self-talk and internal narratives ✔ Why action builds confidence (not the other way around) ✔ How to stop all-or-nothing thinking around food and exercise ✔ The power of doing small habits even when results aren't immediate ✔ How to feel alive, joyful, and present in your health journey This Episode Is Especially Helpful If: You're in your 40s and weight loss feels harder than it used to You're tired of dieting cycles and starting over You struggle with motivation, consistency, or negative self-talk You want to feel confident and at peace in your body You want to enjoy food and still support your health You're ready to approach wellness with self-trust instead of pressure Reflection Questions • Who do I want to become, and how do I want to feel in my body? • What habits does that version of me practice daily? • What story am I ready to release? • What small action can I take today that supports who I'm becoming? ✨ Ready to go deeper?Sign up through the link in the show notes and join this 12-week coaching experience.

In Week 4 of The Real Jesus, Pastor Sean Klein challenges the idea that “ignorance is bliss” and reveals how, spiritually, ignorance can actually become a prison. Walking through Mark 2, we explore three powerful images, The Doctor, The Bridegroom, and The Gift, to uncover how the Pharisees misunderstood Jesus, religion, and even their own need for grace. This message invites us to confront where religion has distorted our view of God and rediscover the healing, joy, and freedom found in a real relationship with the God-King.

Love, Actually – Week 3: Peace, Patterns, and the People You Choose Texts: Genesis 24:10–14, 17–21; Romans 6:3–4We have an entire relationship culture built around not choosing.In Week 3 of Love, Actually: The Love That Restores, Pastor Kevin explores how discernment works in dating, relationships, and even friendships. Looking at Genesis 24 and the story of Rebekah, this message gives a clear framework for peace, patterns, and the people we allow close to us.God does not lead His people with confusion—He leads with peace. Discernment doesn't just listen to words—it watches patterns. And healthy relationships aren't built by adding God later, but by building around Him from the start.On Baptism Sunday, this message also reminds us that following Jesus is ultimately a choice.

If you've ever felt the tension of following Jesus in a world that keeps pulling you to conform, this message is for you. In Week 3 of Misfit Mindset, we unpack what it really means to live different on purpose. Rooted in Psalm 143:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17–21, and John 15, this teaching explores the powerful truth that identity comes before activity and that in order to do the will of God, we must first learn to abide in Him. We are not working for acceptance but from it. We are ambassadors of Christ, called to represent Him in a culture that often moves the opposite direction. This message will challenge you to rethink your relationship with God, stir your affection for Him, and discover how to stay connected to the Vine so real spiritual fruit can grow. If you want to understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, walk in your new identity in Christ, and live a life that truly reflects the gospel, lean in and watch to the end.   Did you accept Christ today?

Your life moves in the direction of your strongest thoughts. In Week 2 of our "Life on Purpose" series, we dive into Colossians to explore how to "set our minds on things above." We often try to fix our actions without addressing our thinking, but scripture tells us that as a person thinks in their heart, so they are.In this episode, we break down three practical ways to realign your mindset:God Above Me: Choosing God's wisdom over human philosophy and tradition.Rest Above Breaks: Understanding the difference between escaping work and operating in Christ's power through true Sabbath.Rhythm Above Balance: Debunking the "balance lie" and learning to cooperate with the natural seasons of life dictated by God.Stop trying to balance a heavy plate and start living in the rhythm of grace.

In Week 8 of our Follow Me series with Pastor Dave Mudd we dive deep into the "Up" rhythm of Jesus' life, exploring how true transformation begins with our private intimacy with the Father. Are you living to please God, or are you caught in the trap of people-pleasing and performance?

Watch to discover how spending time with God is the key to living the gospel in every area of your life.Key Takeaways:- Relationship Over Religion: Discover why obedience should flow from affection and delight rather than obligation, guilt, or fear.- The Power of Private Devotion: Understand why you cannot live to please God publicly if you do not meet with Him privately.- Overcoming People-Pleasing: Learn to identify and lay down the "silent rival" of seeking human approval so you can be a true servant of Christ.- Kingdom Impact: See how a life aligned with the Father naturally produces peace, courage, and spiritual authority that others can sense.- The Diagnostic of Devotion: Use a simple daily question—"What would please the Father today?"—to shift your reference point from horizontal to vertical.

In Week 7 of All I Do Is Win, Jackie Glass invites us to confront what we keep hidden in her message, Dealing With What's Hidden. Teaching from Joshua 7, she reminds us that Israel's only defeat came not from enemy strength, but from hidden disobedience—and that healing begins when what's hidden is brought into the light. You can't win outwardly when you're compromised inwardly, but God reveals not to shame us, but to restore us. Be sure to reference the Sermon Reflection Guide linked below to go deeper and continue the conversation throughout the week.   All I Do Is Win week 7: Dealing With What's Hidden Sermon Reflection Guide

Ever feel like money has more control over you than you'd like to admit?In Week 4 of Learning to Let Go, we dive into one of Jesus' most confusing parables, and discover it's not really about money.

In Week 3 of Becoming: Navigating Your Journey of Faith, Ps Sue Irwin unpacks what it really means to step into the productive life. This is the stage where faith moves from personal experience into active participation in God's bigger story.Tracing the thread from Genesis to the New Testament, Sue reminds us that blessing was always God's plan. We were created to reflect His image, to live in trustful dependence on Him, and to carry His blessing into the world. Through Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, that calling is restored. We are not just saved individuals. We are a community entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation.This message challenges us to move beyond self focus and into surrender. It calls us to lay down pride, comparison, and self protection, and to find our true identity in Christ. When we do, we discover freedom, purpose, and the joy of serving together as one body.If you have ever wondered how your gifts, struggles, and faith journey fit into God's greater plan, this episode will help you see the bigger picture and step into it with courage.

In Week 3 of Made Well, we are reminded of the something that has always been true. That as men and women we are better together. We need one another and something especially good happens when man and woman come together to serve God's designed purposes.

In Week 1 of Sent Forth, we explore the gift of holy discomfort: a refusal to settle for easy answers, half-truths, or shallow faith.

In Week 6 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Jason Britt addresses a critical but often overlooked reality: the Holy Spirit is not the only spirit at work in our time. In a world saturated with noise, misinformation, and competing "truths," the gift of discernment is more vital for the believer than ever before. Drawing from 1 John 4, this message explores how to "test the spirits" to see whether they are from God. Following Jesus isn't just about rejecting obvious evil; it's about recognizing the subtle replacements, reductions, and reshapings of Jesus that permeate our modern culture. If you've felt overwhelmed by the "spirit of the age," this message will help you find confidence in the Spirit of Truth who dwells within you.

Friendship is more than proximity. It's investment. It's showing up. It's saying, “I'll go with you.” In Week 3 of Define The Relationship, we explore the power of biblical friendship and why the very place you've been hurt in relationships is often where God chooses to heal you. From childhood encounters with the love of Jesus to life-changing mentors who stepped from pastor to friend, this message is a reminder that we are made whole in community. We are shaped by those who invest in us. And we are called to invest in others. You'll hear: • Why friendships are emotional bank accounts • The five-to-one principle in healthy relationships • The importance of intergenerational connection • Practical boundaries and communication tips • How to evaluate the health of your circle • What true “ride or die” friendship really looks like Through powerful personal stories and practical wisdom, this message challenges us to build friendships rooted in support, trust, accountability, and presence. You may have been hurt in relationships. But healing also comes through relationships. We can't baptize ourselves. We need each other.

Wars. Disasters. Politics. Cultural instability. When the world feels unpredictable, it's easy to feel anxious, distracted, or spiritually unprepared. In Week 39 of our yearlong journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Kevin walks through Mark 13, where Jesus speaks directly into this tension. While no one knows the timing of His return, Jesus makes one thing clear: we don't have to live in fear. We are called to stay awake, stay ready, and stay on mission. This message invites us to examine how we're living today. Are we drifting into distraction? Are we spiritually asleep? Or are we alert, anchored, and actively participating in what God is doing in the world? When the future feels unclear, Jesus gives us clarity on how to live right now. Tune in, take notes, and lean in as we consider what it means to live faithfully in uncertain times. – – – – – – For more info and resources on this series, visit crosspoint.tv/mark.

Pride has taken hold of our culture in epidemic proportions, shaping values, identity, and truth. While believers live in the world, we are not called to be of the world. In Week 3 of our Guardrails sermon series, we examine the biblical guardrails that help Christians navigate culture with humility, conviction, and faithfulness to God's Word. Discover how to stand firm in truth without losing compassion, and how to reflect Christ in a pride driven society.

In Week 2 of Misfit Mindset, Pastor Josh Hersey unpacks the powerful truth that identity precedes activity, showing from 1 Peter 2, John 3, Romans 8, Colossians 3, and Romans 12 that we do not earn our place with God by performance but receive it through adoption into His family. Through the story of Nicodemus and the language of being born again, this message confronts the exhausting mindset of striving and replaces it with the freedom of sonship, reminding us that when we truly understand who we are in Christ, we begin to live differently on purpose. If you have ever wrestled with trying to do enough for God, this teaching reframes discipleship around intimacy, transformation of the mind, and learning to live from identity rather than for approval.   Did you accept Christ today?

Not all pain is created equal. The worst hurt we can experience is often from those we love and value most, but our response to betrayal dictates our healing. In Week 3 of "Beautifully Broken," we study the deterioration of David and Saul's relationship to answer one question: Do you want to handle hurt like David or Saul?
