In this culturally urgent episode of Live Free, Pastors Josh Howerton, Darren Tyler, and Nolan Tjaden unpack one of the most complex questions facing the Church today: how should believers respond to political division and the rise of competing worldviews? From secular progressivism to radical Islam, we dive into ideologies of power in contrast with the gospel of Jesus, the only message that truly transforms hearts and nations. This episode challenges men, families, and churches to think biblically, lead courageously, and stand firm for truth in a generation searching for its moral compass.  

It's easy to be kind to our friends. But what about strangers? What about the people who have hurt us? In this sermon, "Who Am I Supposed To Serve?", we're digging into the idea of true hospitality. Using the story of the Good Samaritan, we explore what it looks like to "cross the road" for people who are broken—even when it's inconvenient, costly, or for someone we'd call an "enemy. We all have a "20-foot circle" of influence, and this message is a challenge to use it. After all, people often won't care what we believe until they see how we serve.

How To Be Still And Know God You've probably seen Pslam 46:10 stitched on a pillow or printed in pretty script, "Be still and know that I am God." And if you're anything like I used to be, maybe that verse doesn't feel comforting, it feels heavy. Like a command you're constantly failing to follow. Who has time for stillness? Not when there's dinner to cook, laundry to fold, kids to juggle, and a mind that never stops spinning. But what if being still isn't about doing nothing, but about becoming aware? What if it's less about stopping and more about remembering? In this episode, I'll talk about: What stillness actually looks like in a busy mom life (hint: it's not a silent retreat) The guilt and pressure we sometimes attach to spiritual practices, and how to let that go How your kids benefit when you model inner calm Why awareness might be the key to knowing God in your everyday life Three simple ways to bring more stillness to your week, even with a full plate If you've ever looked at that verse and thought, "That's not possible for me," this episode is for you. Let's quiet the noise, just for a moment, and remember who is really in control. If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 31. Peace Over Perfection 56.

Ifthere's one thing everyone needs, is looking for, and desires, it is to havepeace. To have peace within themselves, peace with God, and peace with thosearound them. But it often appears that many people today are bent on havingwar, at enmity with others, with hatred, malice, anger and violence in their heartsand lives. There is no peace in their lives, and they live to destroy any peacein the world around them. The Bible describes it this way in Isaiah 57:20-21, “Butthe wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast upmire and dirt. "There is no peace," Says my God, "for thewicked."  Theirhearts are against God, so their hearts are against everyone around them, andin a sense even themselves. But I believe that deep inside every individualthere is a desire, there is a yearning for peace. The only way to make thatpeace is with God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:1 tells us: “Havingtherefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our LordJesus Christ.” That's what we're talking about in these verses before ustoday in Ephesians 2:16-18.  Rememberin verses 11-15, Paul was dealing with the Gentiles basically and thereconciliation they needed and could now experience between themselves and theJews now that they were in the same church, in the same body of Christ. Now we'rein Christ (v. 13). Before we were aliens and strangers but now, we're a holynation. Colossians 1:19-22 speaks of this very thing: “For it pleased theFather that in Him all the fullness should dwell, speaking of Jesus. By Him,Jesus, to reconcile all things to Himself. By Him, whether things on earth orthings in heaven. having made peace through the blood of His cross, and you whowere once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has Hereconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy andblameless, and above reproach in His sight.” How wonderful, how powerful isthat? We'reno longer strangers because we are now in the family of God along with theJewish people. We had no hope. Now we've been called into one hope. We werewithout God, but now through Christ God is our Father. Nowin verses 16-18, Paul is talking about how both Jews and Gentiles needreconciliation as sinners with God.  Paul'sletter to the Colossians in chapter 2:13-14 says it this way: “You beingdead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alivetogether with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out thehandwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us, andHe has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to His cross." Inother words, the law tells us we're sinners. The law tells us that we arecondemned. God is a holy God and He must punish sin. God also at the same timeis a God of love. He's a God who wants us to know peace and have peace.  That'swhy in Ephesians 2:17, Paul writes: “He came and He preached peace.” Didyou notice that in verse 14 it says Jesus Christ is our peace. In verse15, He made peace because of the blood of His cross between us and God.Then in verse 17, He preached peace. Remember the angels saying to theshepherds that day on the hillside, "Peace on earth and good willtoward men”, is the message of Jesus Christ to all world of sinners."(Luke 2:13-14).   Ifyou want peace, the only peace you'll ever find and the only peace the worldwill ever find is in the person and ministry and work of Jesus Christ throughHis Holy Spirit that can be in all of our hearts at the same time. “Forthrough Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father” (v. 18).  Whata wonderful message for us today. We have a God that can take care of theenmity, bring reconciliation, and bring us back into a place where we can havefellowship one with another. Today,I trust you're experiencing that peace and joy in yourself, and with God, andwith those around you.  

Exodus, The Sanctuary Service, November 2, 2025

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough to make a real difference. We see a big need, look at our own hands, and think, "I can't help." But what if the problem isn't what we have, but our willingness to use it? In this message, we're diving into the excuses that stop us from practicing hospitality. Using the story of the feeding of the 5,000, we're learning that God isn't looking for our extravagance—He's looking for our willingness. What's in your hands? A little bit of time? A specific skill? A resource? It might be the exact thing God wants to use to change someone's world. At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

Today we continue our study in the young baptist's catechism. The question is, "How do we know God exists?"Join Pastor Mike for a short study in God's Word to know the Lord better.

The most common question in the Christian life just might be, "What is God's will for my life?" It would be difficult to find a believer who has not earnestly sought an answer to this question. While the Bible does not directly answer every question in life, there are many areas where Scriptures have clearly and plainly set forth the will of God. What does the Bible teach us about knowing God's will for our lives? Listen and find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

The Bible tells us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion — but many of his attacks and temptations to sin sneak in. A flicker of envy at a friend's house, a small moment of discouragement while cooking dinner, a quiet thought that says, “Why not me, God?” In today's episode, we're talking about how to be on guard against Satan's work — envy, ungratefulness, bitterness, laziness, gossip — and how to pivot, with the power of Jesus Christ in you, back into a life God has for us: contentment, joy, gratitude, and purpose. Mentioned in this Episode

In this bonus episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Russell Johnson, Ryan Visconti, and Josh McPherson explore the biblical relationship between Christianity and patriotism. Is loving one's country Christian nationalism or idolatry? They unpack how believers are not only allowed but called to actively engage in politics and culture. Now is the time to advocate for righteousness, turn back to God, and walk in bold obedience. Drawing on biblical examples and historical context, they challenge the idea that Christians should withdraw from political involvement and instead encourage faithful engagement to influence society for good.

Are you tired of living in fear?! In this episode of Live Free, Pastors Josh Howerton and Paul Cunningham dive into Acts 23 to explore how faith thrives even in fear and confusion. From the Apostle Paul's bold stand before the Sanhedrin to Pastor Josh's personal journey through anxiety, this episode unpacks seven practical principles to overcome fear and start living with courage. The pastors also tackle pressing cultural issues, from abortion to immigration offering biblical clarity on justice, compassion, and the role of government. Whether you're facing internal storms or cultural chaos, this conversation will challenge and equip you to live with full faith, truth and bold obedience.  

Does life feel too busy and chaotic to build a strong, healthy family? It's easy to feel like you're just two ships passing in the night—more like roommates than soulmates, or more like chauffeurs than parents. What if the solution isn't about adding more to your already packed schedule? In this message, we discover that a healthy family isn't built in big, grand gestures, but "on the go" in the small, everyday moments that we all have. We explore the powerful idea of choosing to build your family with "stones"—the intentional, lasting habits—instead of "straw," the easy, convenient choices that don't hold up when life gets hard. You'll learn how to replace what you're already doing with better, more connecting habits and how to prepare your family to be unshakeable when the storms of life come.

If the Church is not disciplining people, the world will. This week on LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham dive into Acts 22 to reveal how Jesus saves us from both rebellion AND religion. They explore the dangers of spiritual pride, the myth of “boring testimonies,” and provide hope through the timeless truth that God can save anybody. They also expose the hidden LGBTQ+ agenda behind recent controversial Netflix content. This episode will equip parents to disciple their kids wisely in a media-saturated world. This bold conversation will be key to guarding the next generation and standing for truth in today's culture.  

Decision-making can feel overwhelming. In our daily prayer and devotional, we remember that we often turn to friends, family, or even the internet for guidance—only to end up with conflicting opinions that leave us even more uncertain. While seeking advice can be valuable, Scripture reminds us that we already have access to the best Counselor of all—the Holy Spirit. When Jesus promised the gift of the Spirit, He assured us that believers would never walk alone. The Spirit of truth lives within us, guiding, comforting, and directing our steps. This doesn’t mean every decision will suddenly feel easy, but it does mean we can trust that God will faithfully lead us in the way we should go. As children of God, we don’t have to rely solely on human wisdom. We can lean on the Spirit’s promptings, rest in His peace, and trust that He will never steer us wrong. When we feel paralyzed by uncertainty, let us pause, pray, and remember that the Spirit of God lives in us—ready to counsel us at every crossroads. Today's Bible Reading: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." – John 14:16-17 (NIV) Key Takeaways God has given us the Holy Spirit as our eternal counselor and guide. Seeking human advice can be helpful, but Spirit-led wisdom is always best. Peace in decision-making comes when we surrender to God’s truth and leading. We can face uncertainty with confidence, knowing God’s Spirit is always with us. Let’s Pray Together Lord God, You are my Wonderful Counselor. Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides me in truth and helps me make wise decisions. When I feel uncertain or overwhelmed, remind me to seek Your Spirit first. Lead me in Your will, and give me peace as I trust You to direct my steps. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
