Does the Bible really stay silent on abortion and “consensual” same-sex relationships, or are we watching Scripture get twisted in real time? In this LIVE FREE special reaction episode, Pastor Josh reacts to Texas State Rep. James Talarico and breaks down the viral claims, the word-games behind them, and what the Bible actually says about life in the womb, sexual ethics, justice, and the role of government vs. the Church. You'll also hear Josh's framework for engaging people who are sincerely confused vs. those intentionally deceiving believers—and why Christians can't afford to be naive right now. You'll learn: - Why “Jesus never talked about it” is a weak argument (and what Jesus did affirm) - The Bible's case for life in the womb (Psalm 139, Exodus 21, John the Baptist's response to Jesus) - Why Romans 1 directly contradicts the “only abusive relationships” loophole - The difference between Christian conservatives and conservative Christians - Why “feeding the hungry” doesn't automatically equal “government redistribution” - The biblical definition of justice (equal weights and measures) vs. progressive “justice” (equal outcomes for groups) - What Galatians 3 (“neither male nor female”) actually means—and what it doesn't - Why these “pastor-politician” clips go viral (and what Scripture warns us about)

In this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey dives into Proverbs 30 to reveal how God's wisdom transforms the way we see strength, stability, and success. Using the example of the "rock badger," he shows that where we choose to dwell—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—shapes our lives and decisions. Pastor Josh challenges us to stop relying on worldly measures like visibility, performance, and comparison, and instead to rest in Christ, the true Rock, where insight, perspective, and life-transforming wisdom are found.

What does it truly mean to understand Scripture in its original context? In this compelling conversation, Pastor Josh talks with biblical scholar and Center for Holy Lands Studies director Jeremy Stein about how encountering the physical locations of biblical events brings God's Word to life. As our church prepares to launch Life on Purpose groups centered on the book of Colossians, the conversation ends with a passionate invitation to experience the biblical lands firsthand, where Scripture moves from “black and white into living color.”

What does it mean to truly press in to Jesus and not just be part of the crowd around Him? In this message, we walk through Luke 8 and the story of the woman who risked everything to touch the hem of Jesus' garment, discovering that desperation, faith, and deliberate pursuit get His attention. This teaching unpacks the cultural weight of “clean and unclean,” reveals how Jesus rewrites the rules of access to God, and challenges us to examine whether we are following Him for what He can give or simply for who He is. If you feel unworthy, distant, or desperate for something only God can do, this message is an invitation to stop hiding, press in, and encounter the grace that makes the unclean clean.   Did you accept Christ today?

What kind of life pleases God? According to Hebrews, it's a life of faith—and Pastor Josh McPherson makes it plain: faith is obedience. In this message, Pastor Josh calls Grace City Church into a continued season of consecration through prayer and fasting, urging the church to get “off the X” and move with urgent, wholehearted obedience. From Jonathan's climb toward overwhelming odds (1 Samuel 14) to the fresh hunger God is stirring in our people, this is a rallying cry to become a Jonathan Church—a remnant that runs toward the fight, trusts God for provision, and watches heaven respond.Support the showThanks for listening!

In this catalytic message, Pastor Josh McPherson announces an audacious new chapter for Grace City Church: an opportunity to secure and steward 50 acres as a “forward operating base” for the Family Capital of the World—and the long-range vision of launching Vector West University, a four-year Christian institution aimed at forming courageous leaders with sharp minds, warm hearts, and strong bodies. Teaching from 1 Samuel 14, Pastor Josh calls the church to faithful risk, unified action, and dependence on the Lord for supernatural breakthrough, then lays out key prayer “fleeces” and an invitation to keep gathering in worship as God brings revival momentum.Support the showThanks for listening!

In this episode of Side Notes, Pastor Josh and Adam take a deeper look at David's love for God's Word in Psalm 119 and what it means to truly cherish Scripture. They explore how engaging the Bible helps us know God more personally, along with the beauty of worship, stillness, and responding to God in different ways.

When Competence Fails and Faith Feels Powerless If you're used to being capable, prepared, and spiritually "put together," this episode exposes why faith can quietly stop working—and why Jesus often meets us after we fail.    Sermon Description When you believe the right things about God, yet still struggle with fear, doubt, or spiritual exhaustion? In this two-part sermon from Mark 9:14–29, Pastor Josh Weidmann explores one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture: "I believe—help my unbelief." Together, these messages address the tension many Christians live in every day—the gap between strong theology and fragile trust, between spiritual competence and real dependence on God. You'll discover why Jesus isn't threatened by doubt, how failure can become a doorway to deeper faith, and why true spiritual power flows not from confidence, experience, or technique—but from honest, prayerful dependence. This series is for anyone wrestling with weak faith, unanswered prayers, or the quiet fear that belief should feel easier by now—and for anyone longing to trust God more deeply, even when certainty feels out of reach.

Pastor Josh looks at Ephesians 4:1-6 in the Walk Worthy series.

Pastor Josh kicks off our new sermon series, For What I Have Received I Passed on to You. With this Sunday's theme, The Movement Begins.

As we begin 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, this message launches our Draw Near series with a simple but challenging invitation: be still. Using the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 and Jesus' words in John 15, we are reminded that fruitfulness does not come from striving or religious effort, but from abiding in Christ. In a fast-paced, driven culture, Jesus calls us back to His original design of relationship, rest, and closeness with God. This teaching unpacks what it means to remain in the vine, why doing for God must flow from being with Him, and how slowing down in His presence leads to real transformation. This is an invitation to stop striving, sit at His feet, and rediscover the one thing that truly matters.   Did you accept Christ today?

In Podcast Episode 155 of Victory Vision we interview with Pastor Josh Montgomery

What if the biggest barrier between you and the life God has for you is your own disobedience? In this message, Pastor Josh challenges us to move from sentiment to substance, because surrender isn't the same as obedience. We may feel surrendered, but until we actually obey, we're still holding back.

In this message, Pastor Josh opens The Beloved Gospel with the prologue of John's Gospel—John 1:1–18—inviting us to behold who Jesus is before we consider what He did.John doesn't begin with a manger, a miracle, or a mission trip. He begins with eternity. Jesus is introduced as the Word (Logos)—God's full self-expression—through whom all things were made. Drawing from the rich Jewish and Greek background of the word Logos, this message explores how John presents Jesus as fully God and fully human, the Word made flesh, who stepped into our darkness to give light and life. This is Genesis revisited—a new beginning where God moves toward humanity, not with distance or demands, but with grace and truth embodied in Jesus.Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message calls us back to the heart of the gospel:The gospel doesn't start with what Christ did, but who He is—and our response isn't rooted in what we do, but whose we are.

David loved God's Word, and it shaped his whole life. In week 2 of "Cover to Cover," Pastor Josh explores Psalm 19, showing how cherishing Scripture helps us cherish God Himself. From David's victories and failures to his deep devotion, learn how reading, reflecting, and responding to God's Word can renew your life and grow your relationship with Him. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

Have you ever realized you were seeing life the wrong way, only after your vision changed? In this message, Pastor Josh shares a story from childhood about getting glasses at 7 and suddenly discovering a world that had been clear all along. The world didn't change, but his vision did. In the same way, so many of us are walking through life with blurry spiritual vision, not even realizing we're not seeing things God's way.From Isaiah 43, Romans 12, Ephesians 4, and other key scriptures, you'll discover how our beliefs are shaped by pain, hurtful words, and protective patterns, and how those misbeliefs quietly drive our choices, relationships, and reactions. Pastor Josh dives into the difference between being conformed to the world's way of thinking and being transformed by the renewing of our minds, painting a powerful picture of true inner change using the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.This message will help you recognize the thoughts that don't line up with God's truth, reject the lies you've believed, and replace them with what God says about you. It's an invitation to let God reset your thinking, heal your perspective, and lead you into the new thing He wants to do in your life.If you're tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles and you're ready to see, think, and live differently, this message is for you. Lean in, let God speak to your heart, and allow Him to begin a fresh work of transformation in you today.

Let's be honest - most of us say "Thy will be done" while white-knuckling our way through each day. In this episode, Pastor Josh and Katie Rose are digging into the anatomy of control: why we crave it, how it's exhausting us, and what actually happens when we stop playing God. If you're ready for 2026 to actually be different, and to see some change that lasts beyond February, take a listen.

In this powerful message, “Only One Way to Win,” Josh Craft teaches that winning in life requires discipline, endurance, and daily self-control—not talent or motivation alone Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor Josh explains how athletes in the ancient world trained relentlessly long before race day ever arrived. In the same way, our spiritual, emotional, and relational victories are determined by what we practice daily.

Kick off 2026 with Side Notes! Pastor Josh and Adam look back on the Christmas season, dive into the new "Cover to Cover" series, and unpack Moses' story in a way that hits home. They share what stood out to them, laugh along the way, and talk about what it really looks like to follow God's Word in everyday life.

Pastor Josh challenges us to remember that political power cannot fix what is spiritually broken, and only the gospel brings true transformation.

As Grace City Church steps into 2026, Pastor Josh McPherson launches a six-week series called The Consecrated Life—a call to pause, realign, and return to what matters most before charging the next hill. Teaching from Revelation 2, Pastor Josh warns that a church can work hard, endure opposition, and do good deeds—yet still drift from its first love.

Why God Reveals Christ's Glory to Strengthen Obedience If following Jesus feels costly, this episode reveals why God shows us who Christ truly is—without removing the call to carry the cross.What does it mean to follow Jesus when faith feels costly? In this two-part message from Mark 9:2–13, we explore the biblical pattern of suffering now, glory later. As Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, He strengthens His disciples to endure the path of obedience rather than escape it. These episodes examine Christian suffering, obedience to Christ, and what it looks like to keep following Jesus through hard seasons—trusting Him without the full picture and believing that the cross comes before the crown. In this episode: Why the Christian life follows a clear pattern: suffering first, glory later What the Transfiguration reveals—and why it wasn't meant to keep the disciples on the mountain How Mark 9 connects directly to the call of the cross in Mark 8 Why God sometimes gives a glimpse of glory without removing the cost of obedience The difference between curiosity about Jesus and faith in Jesus Why chasing spiritual experiences can weaken discipleship What it means to behold Christ's glory without demanding comfort or clarity How seeing who Jesus truly is prepares us to trust Him in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus  

How to Keep Following Christ When the Cost Is Real If obedience feels harder than it should, this episode will help you hear Christ's voice clearly and take the next faithful step—even without the full picture. In this two-part message from Mark 9:2–13, we explore the biblical pattern of suffering now, glory later. As Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, He strengthens His disciples to endure the path of obedience rather than escape it. These episodes examine Christian suffering, obedience to Christ, and what it looks like to keep following Jesus through hard seasons—trusting Him without the full picture and believing that the cross comes before the crown. In this episode: What happens after the mountaintop—when obedience still lies ahead Why God's command is not to admire Jesus, but to listen to Him How emotions and internal noise can drown out the Shepherd's voice Why discipleship is built on obedience, not feelings or experiences What the resurrection reveals about suffering and glory Why God rarely gives the full picture before calling us to follow How faith learns to walk with incomplete understanding A practical challenge to take one step of obedience—even in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus

In this message from the book of Philemon, Pastor Josh Slautterback explores the powerful and often challenging call to forgiveness. Through the story of Philemon and Onesimus, we see how unforgiveness can keep us trapped behind emotional and spiritual fences—much like prisoners who remained in POW camps even after freedom was declared. Paul's appeal to Philemon reveals that forgiveness is not just a spiritual ideal, but a practical, costly, and freeing act of love. This sermon walks through three essential steps to forgiveness—releasing the offense, redeeming the relationship, and remembering the grace we've received—while exposing how bitterness, when left unchecked, takes root and spreads. Ultimately, this message calls us to live in the freedom Christ offers, become peacemakers in broken relationships, and extend the same grace we have been given.

The Power of Proper Life Trellis - Pastor Josh Reece - 1.4.26 by Vertical Church

What if the best year of your life doesn't come from striving harder, but from surrendering deeper? In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what it means to fully trust God's plan, release control, and let Him lead.

Vision Sunday is always a moment to pause, look back with gratitude, and look forward with clarity. In this message, Pastor Josh reflects on what God has done over the past year at Church on the Rock and where He is leading us next. From lives changed and baptisms celebrated to missions expanded and new discipleship pathways formed, this isn't a story about numbers or growth for growth's sake. It's about faithfulness. Drawing from Matthew 25, Psalm 143, and Jesus' compassion for the crowds in Matthew 9, we're reminded that fruit is always the result of faithfulness and that God entrusts more to those who steward well what's already in their hands. As we step into a new year, this message calls every person to take personal ownership of discipleship. Discipleship is not something done to us; it's who we are. You'll hear why we're launching Thursday night services, how this creates space for our plus ones, and why 100 percent participation remains our primary goal. Whether you're new, returning, or have called this church home for years, this message invites you to ask a simple prayer: “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God.” If we remain faithful, we trust God to bring the fruit, together.   Did you accept Christ today?

In a message contextualized by the beginning of a new year, Family Life Pastor Josh Burfeind breaks down three questions that help believers look at their lives with a fresh perspective. Pastor Josh teaches on the balance of routines and abiding in our relationship with Jesus, the value of accountability and wisdom found in community, and the generational legacy that each of us is called to invest in now. As we enter 2026, these questions provide a new framework for making difficult decisions regarding our priorities and measuring success with New Year's resolutions. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | / newtribechurch Facebook | / newtribechurch YouTube | / newtribechurch

In this message, Pastor Josh introduces our 2026 theme at Overflow Church: The Beloved Gospel.Before we talk about what we do for God, we must settle who we are to God.Throughout the New Testament, believers are repeatedly called “the beloved”—deeply loved, cherished, and chosen by God. In the Gospel of John, the apostle refers to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” not out of ego, but out of identity. And that identity reshapes everything.In this message, we explore:What it means that God is a Lover, not distant or detachedWhy God's love is unfolding, constant, and inexhaustibleHow His love endures forever, untouched by our weaknessHow the love of God reveals our valueWhy God's love is meant to be encountered, not just understoodThis message is an invitation to move beyond fear-based obedience and rediscover a life marked by delight, intimacy, and belovedness.

Pastor Josh shares a message about God's goodness and His justice. How can we have peace with this not so paradoxical God?

The lights are up, the sales are relentless, and “Christmas” is everywhere—but is Jesus? In this special holiday episode, Mike Slater asks the question every serious Christian has to face: How do we celebrate the birth of the King when the culture has turned His day into a frenzy of consumerism, sentimentality, and mandatory cheer? From Black Friday to office parties, from “Happy Holidays” to the war-on-Christmas noise, Mike cuts through the tinsel to talk about what it really looks like to keep holy days in a holiday world—without becoming a Grinch, retreating to a bunker, or pretending the tension doesn't exist.
