In today's message, Pastor Jack shares that elevated praise and controlled speech are key to building faith and opening us up to God's supernatural power. He emphasizes that we must bridle our tongues to achieve true spiritual maturity, as our words have the power to direct our lives, control negative emotions, and release faith instead of doubt. By looking beyond what we currently see and aligning our spoken words with God's Word, we release the power of God into our lives and expand our vision to believe for the impossible. Pastor Jack reminds us that God's covenant blessings and promises are not meant to be a burden or just meet our basic needs; rather, He desires to bless us with overflow and abundance so that we can become a blessing to others. Furthermore, he encourages us that God is calling us to be a victorious, healthy, and prosperous church that takes ground for His kingdom. Ultimately, by putting on the garment of praise and declaring God's Word with our mouths, we break free from depression, experience God's active presence, and step into the supernatural benefits He has prepared for us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when the Bible calls Jesus the Son of God, it means He is fully God, equal with the Father. And it's at His name, and His name alone, that every knee will one day bow and confess that He is Lord.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus is over all things, holding the whole creation together by the power of His word. The same Lord who named the stars and orchestrates the heavens is the One who governs every moment of our lives.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus existed before all things, before the universe, even before the spiritual realm. The Bible calls Jesus the Word who was with God and who was God, the eternal "I am" with no beginning and no end.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of duty means doing the will of God, even though the rough times. Following Jesus isn't always easy, but it's always worth it. God has challenged each of us to do great things for His kingdom while we still have the freedom and the opportunity to do so.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that knowing God's will naturally leads to desiring God's will. When the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives, we find ourselves wanting what God wants and embracing a more excellent way.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of duty starts with knowing God's will. We can't serve effectively until we understand God's specific plan for our lives. When we seek Him through His Word and prayer, He promises to instruct us and teach us in the way we should go.
As summer brings a change of pace, it also gives us an opportunity to recover something many Christians have lost—the biblical rhythm of rest. In this episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, Pastor Jack Young and Pastor Jon Mager discuss the biblical principle of the Sabbath and what it looks like to practice intentional rest in a world that celebrates constant activity.Drawing from Scripture and Pastor Jack's recent article on Summer Sabbaths, they explore why God designed rest as a gift rather than a burden, how Jesus modeled healthy rhythms of ministry, and why slowing down can actually make us more effective in serving the Lord. They also discuss practical ways pastors, ministry leaders, and busy families can build times of refreshment into their lives without becoming lazy or neglecting their responsibilities.Whether you're feeling spiritually drained, physically exhausted, or simply looking to establish healthier rhythms, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical ideas for finding renewal in Christ.In this episode you'll discover:The difference between biblical rest and laziness.Why God built Sabbath principles into creation.How rest strengthens rather than weakens ministry.Practical ways to schedule "summer sabbaths" for yourself and your family.How seasons of rest prepare us for greater faithfulness in the work God has called us to do."Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that durability means drawing closer to God, especially during hard and dangerous times. Trouble is not a reason to quit. A strong believer follows Christ, not just in word, but in actions as well.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we need to resist false doctrine and fight against evil in our world. As believers, we can't just be spectators while darkness advances around us. Instead, we're called to stand firm on God's Word, even when it's hard or unpopular.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we must consider what's at stake. Our faith in Jesus Christ is the most valuable thing we have, and everything else in life depends on it. When we understand the eternal significance of staying faithful, it changes how we approach every challenge.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that doubt must be overcome, and it can be overcome through faith and God's Word. It's the only weapon strong enough to defeat doubt. Daily devotional time with the Lord not only pushes any doubt we have away, it deepens our trust, and keeps us growing spiritually.
We kick off this episode with a discussion of how much better Entourage is than The OC. We then talk about a video highlighting Spotify's most streamed songs of the last 66 years (some real surprises on there). We play a few voicemails—one about unknowing (which leads to a broader conversation about epistemology), another about whether we used to have those "preacher voices" when we were pastors, and another about the World Cup. We wrap up with a very brief edition of "Pastor Jack's Off."
Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that doubt must be defeated at all costs. Doubt robs our spirit, destroys our hope, and kills our future by blinding us to what God is doing in our lives. Like a spiritual infection, doubt can poison our entire walk with Christ.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that doubt must be confronted head on. We can't ignore it, we can't pretend it's not there. Doubt is a killer that will systematically destroy our faith. It's why we have to face it and fight it with everything we have.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that being dominated by Christ brings power, joy, and love we could never find on our own. When we hand Jesus the key to every room of our lives, we finally start living for others, just like He did.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we need the Holy Spirit more than ever in these last days. When we ask God to fill us and lead us, He answers, and the real us comes under His loving control.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of domination begins with refusing to let our flesh run the show. When our feelings, our eyes, or our pride start calling the shots, we have to surrender it all to God instead.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that resisting distraction takes a preoccupation with the things of God. When we seek His kingdom first and stay vigilant, even the good things in our lives won't crowd out our walk with the Lord.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we conquer distraction by building a daily devotional life with God. When we make time for Him before the world starts screaming at us, we find a calm and a strength that everyone around us will notice.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the first step is to identify what tugs at us. When we honestly name the worries and the urgent things pulling us away, we can start to see how often we're like Martha, troubled about many things.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that real success isn't wealth or achievement, but a life fully sold out to the kingdom of God. When we let the Lord put a handle on our back, He can pick us up and use everything we have for His glory.
