Most people think following Jesus is about getting to heaven.Jesus had something much bigger in mind.When Jesus called His first disciples, He didn't simply invite them into a relationship—He immediately gave them a mission:“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.”In this opening message of our “Wait…What?” series, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging truths:Rescued people were never meant to become spectators. They were meant to become rescuers.Main Scripture:  Matthew 4:18–22; Matthew 10:8; John 20:21Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Pastor John Nuzzo and Pastor Sean Moore continue discussing the transition of leadership of Victory Family Church.  Pastor Sean answers questions about what has been most surprising and what he is most excited about.  They discuss the process of empowering the Abraham generation to accelerate the Isaac generation so that they miss the pain and potholes of the Abrahams.  Over the next three years, these two leaders will teach the Abrahams how to accelerate, not just tolerate the next generation.  These leaders have a father/son relationship which allows them to be truthful with each other.  In three years, the church will be larger, have more income, have eliminated debt, expanded Kingdom Builders, and will be the greatest it's ever been known for.  Pastor John and Michelle are accelerating Pastor Sean and Sarah so that they can go further and faster, which is what we all desire for our own children.  Stay tuned for the days ahead and see God's grace and provision in action!    The Acceleration Mandate by Pastor John Nuzzo details roadblocks and resources for the Abraham and Isaac generations with a clear pathway and roadmap to address those roadblocks.  The Acceleration Mandate is available wherever books are sold.

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges and Pastor Lee Domingue kick off a new ministry season by unpacking the six essential pillars of church health that every pastor and leadership team should focus on. Fresh off a season of rest and preparation, Pastor Chris shares a practical roadmap that distills decades of ministry experience into six foundational areas that consistently produce healthy churches. Whether you're planting a church, leading a staff, or preparing for your next season of growth, this conversation provides actionable wisdom you can begin implementing immediately. No matter the size or season of your church, these six principles provide a practical framework for building a ministry that is healthy, sustainable, and positioned for lasting kingdom impact. Episode Resources: PC's Notes on a High Touch Environment: 1. Love and accept yourself. 2. Express your love openly. Stand at the door and shake hands. Say things like, "I  wish everyone could have the privilege of pastoring you." 3. Put energy into being likeable. 4. Be the first to apologize. 5. Let other people save face. Let them off the hook. 6. Smile a lot. 7. Make all the friends you can. 8. Be transparent and authentic. 9. Lead by example. 10. Be predictable and consistent. 11. Never show your anger in public. 12. Think people not events. 13. Practice the 30/30 principle (the most important part of a service is the 30  minutes before and after the service – spend time with people). 14. Walk slowly through the crowd. 15. Always be a friend to the little man. The popular come and go. Put the little man  on the front row. 16. Return all emails and phone calls within 24 hours. 17. Write notes. 18. Reward faithfulness openly. Take time to do it. 19. Laugh more. Make everything fun. 20. Don't miss significant events (births, weddings, funerals, anniversaries,  graduations, achievements, etc.) They only come around once. 21. Heal the hurt when someone is wounded. 22. Give others credit and accept none. 23. Connect people with other people. 24. Remember names. 25. Focus on their interests. Ask questions. 26. Let them know you need them. 27. Value people. If you don't value them, you will manipulate them. Manipulation  is moving them for your advantage. See them as a person to be loved. 28. Follow the 101% Principle. Find the 1% that you agree on and give it 100% of  your effort. Find common ground. Don't focus on differences. 29. Follow the Golden Rule. In every situation, treat people the way you want to be  treated. 30.

In Part 3 of Childhood Vows, Pastor Mark Bonilla shares how a divided mindset can lead to a controlling heart instead of a trusting heart. From comparison, not enough, good enough attitudes we learn how to control and manipulate people and situations to create our desired outcomes instead of trusting which leads to the best outcome.  These “childhood vows” shape who we are and many times we don't realize they are taking place. They affect relationships, marriage, parenting, confidence, and even your relationship with God.Through the story of Martha and Mary we see how a divided mindset does not allow us to see the very best in a situation. However, it is not until Martha finally sees Jesus for who he really is ‘Messiah, Son of God, Teacher that he mindset shifts and she can find true peace.  This message exposes the lie behind the lie that “busyness is progress”.

Standalone Message: Kingdom Builders Update & Introduction to Romans 12 - Pastor Tom JJ Wood (07/05/2026) by Word of Life Assembly of God

Through the story of Leah in Genesis, we see how striving for love leads to exhaustion, misinterpretation of blessings, and a lifetime of comparison. Yet everything shifts when Leah declares: “This time I will praise the Lord.”This message exposes the lie behind performance-based identity and reveals the freedom found in Christ, who loved us first.Jesus didn't just come to forgive you — He came to heal you.Main Scripture: Genesis 29Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Fill-In Notes: https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/39900/note-272271.html Continuing the Conversation 1. If you're honest, what might your financial behavior over the last few months reveal about where your trust is actually rooted not where you'd say it's rooted, but where it actually is? 2. 1 Timothy 6:19 (NLT) says generosity leads to people "experiencing true life." Where have you maybe mistaken security (hoarding, self-protection) for true life, when Scripture says the opposite is true? 3. Can you think of a time financial or otherwise when giving freely led to you being "refreshed" in a way you didn't expect? What happened? 4. Of the three everyday avenues discussed (tithing, Kingdom Builder giving, helping a church family in need), is there one that currently feels more natural to you or feels more uncomfortable? Why might that be?

You're not broken. You're living by scripts that were written long before you understood what they mean.Every one of us enters adulthood carrying beliefs formed in moments of rejection, fear, disappointment, criticism, neglect, or pain. What began as survival mechanisms in childhood often become invisible scripts that shape our relationships, decisions, identity, and view of God.Through the life of Moses, Pastor Armando Palazzo reveals how God meets us in the middle of our wounds, challenges the lies we've believed, and invites us into a new future defined by His truth.Main Scripture: Exodus 3Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

In Part 5 of our ADVANCE series, we explore a powerful truth about spiritual warfare that many believers have never considered.Most Christians think spiritual warfare is primarily defensive. But what if Jesus showed us that the greatest victories happen when we move toward brokenness instead of away from it?Through the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we discover how advancing God's Kingdom pushes back darkness, restores lives, and transforms communities.Main Scripture: Luke 10Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

In this episode, we dive into what it means to be a “living stone” in God's Kingdom. If you've ever felt overlooked, out of place, or unsure where you belong, this message will encourage you to see your life differently—God is building something powerful, and you have a place in it. “On this rock,” we don't just believe—we build.

I Won't Come Down – Staying Focused on What Matters Most In this episode, we explore the power of focus and perseverance. Through Nehemiah's story, discover how distractions can pull us away from what matters most—and why learning to say “I am doing a great work, and I won't come down” could change everything.

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges and Pastor Rick Bezet have an honest conversation about burnout, friendship, counseling, soul care, and the importance of rest in leadership. Together they share personal stories, practical wisdom, and the rhythms that have helped them stay healthy through decades of ministry. Recorded during a season where the GrowLeader team is intentionally focusing on rest and relationships, this deeply personal conversation explores how decades of ministry, leadership pressure, conflict, and personal pain can slowly wear leaders down and what it looks like to recover well. If you're tired, discouraged, emotionally worn down, or simply running too hard for too long, this episode will encourage you to slow down, reconnect with God, and rediscover healthy rhythms for the journey ahead.    All Things GrowLeader: Register for GrowLeader Conference 2026: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader

In Part 3 of our Advance series, Pastor Armando Palazzo explores a powerful and often overlooked dimension of spiritual warfare—not merely fighting against the enemy, but overcoming the limiting beliefs, fears, and false identities that keep us from stepping into God's purpose.Through the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, we discover how Philip, Andrew, a young boy, and a simple lunch reveal one of the greatest spiritual battles Christians face: believing that what God has given us is not enough.Main Scripture: John 6Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Kingdom Builder – Part 2: Pick It Up In Week Two of our Kingdom Builder series, we look at the story of Nehemiah and the call to rebuild what has been left broken for far too long. What we step over today can become the very thing that limits tomorrow—but when we see the value, everything changes. This message speaks to both the personal and the communal. Whether it's your marriage, purpose, calling, or something you've quietly given up on—God is in the business of rebuilding. And not with perfect materials, but with what's already been left behind.
