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.
Have you ever wondered what it looks like when strength meets humility in leadership? In this episode, Kevin Larson shares with Pastor Josh how his personal health battles and professional challenges taught him that true power comes from depending on God—not self-reliance. Kevin's transformative insight—that letting go of control actually increases capacity—shapes how he leads both on construction sites and in ministry. His story reminds us that servant leadership is about presence, not position, and challenges us to consider if we're carrying burdens alone when God invites us to depend on His strength.
What happens when you stop trying to lead your own life and finally let God take the reins? In this week's message, Walk Humbly, Pastor Josh Hersey takes us deep into James 4 and Philippians 2, reminding us that real strength begins with surrender. It's a call to drop pride, trust the One who knows best, and let His gracious Spirit lead us forward on firm footing. Through powerful teaching, honest moments, and a story about a high-school football lesson that turned into a life-changing revelation, you'll see that humility isn't weakness... it's the secret to victory.

Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Paul uses the imagery of a drink offering being poured out to signify that thetime had come to end his ministry. In what ways does this depiction describethe mentality we should have regarding our own service to Christ?In verse 7, Paul uses the words “fight” and “race” to describe the Christianlife. In what ways do both of these depictions speak to the reality of living in this world as Christians? How does the local church help in fighting the fight and running the race?How do we as Christians guard our hearts against the fear of death? Howdoes Paul's “eternal perspective” give us some insight on where our hearts and minds should be grounded?How often do you think about Heaven? What are the things you are mostexcited about? Why is it important that we dwell on Heaven more often then we do now?

In this conversation, Pastor Josh and Will sit down with Brian Kaylor—editor in chief of Word&Way, Baptist minister, and author of The Bible According to Christian Nationalists—to unpack seven common ways scripture gets twisted to serve power. We talk about why Christian nationalism functions as a theological heresy, not just a political ideology, and how to separate healthy patriotism from a fusion of church and state that distorts the gospel.Brian walks us through how numerology frames like “Ephesians 6:11 at 6:11” go viral after violent events and why chapter and verse numbers were never meant to carry hidden messages. We dig into the difference between loving your neighbors and trying to rule them, the history behind public Ten Commandments displays and classroom mandates, and how commodifying the Bible turns faith into a brand. We also get practical about reading in community, broadening the voices that shape our interpretations, and cultivating the humility to say I might be wrong. If you care about faith, civic life, and the integrity of scripture, this episode offers language and tools to navigate a polarized moment without surrendering your soul.Book: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780827203501Guest BioBrian Kaylor is the editor in chief of Word&Way, a Baptist minister, and a scholar of political communication whose work sits at the intersection of faith, civic life, and media.

It's been nine years since Harbor Church started, and God has done incredible things every step of the way. Pastor Josh and Katie Rose take a little trip down memory lane to remember what it looks like to take a real leap of faith, and dig into how churches and individuals can stay on mission, even after all these years.
When God created work, it wasn't a punishment, it was part of His original design. Before sin entered the world, Adam was given purpose, creativity, and calling. In this message, Pastor Josh reminds us that we don't work for rest, we work from it. Whether you're in an office, on a job site, at home raising kids, or serving in church, your work is worship. God invites us to see our everyday labor as holy ground, a place to reflect His image and impact the world around us. Through teaching, humor, and real-life stories, this sermon calls us to reject laziness, embrace purpose, and recognize that God has uniquely placed each of us where we are for a reason. From the garden of Eden to your 9-to-5, the message is clear: your work matters to God. Watch, take notes, and let this message reshape how you see Monday morning, not as a grind, but as an opportunity to glorify Him in all you do. Did you accept Christ today?

Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 4:1-5. 2nd Timothy 4:1-5 Study Questions 1) Paul admonishes Timothy in verse 2 to preach the Word both in and out of season. What are the dangers of the Word only being preached when it is convenient or acceptable? What should we look for in a preacher or church to determine whether or not the Word is truly being preached? 2) In light of verses 3-4, how should believers discern and respond to teachings that cater to “itching ears,” such as the prosperity gospel? What role does the local church take in this response? 3) In verse 3 Paul says “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions…” What are the dangers of only surrounding ourselves with teachers that say what we want to hear? How do we avoid this? 4) How can we pray for the pastors of local churches that have been tasked with the responsibility of preaching the Word of God in a culture where it will bring them ridicule or suffering? What are some practical ways you can encourage your pastors and fellow members in this?
Pastor Josh Schwartz and Ken Mikle first talk to Pastor Barry Stagner. We are in the “times of the signs” prior to the Tribulation.

A divided church can't defeat a united enemy.Jesus prayed for unity, not just among His disciples, but for all believers. In this message, Pastor Josh breaks down the silent killers of unity including pride, gossip, and unforgiveness and why we must fight for peace in our homes, churches, and relationships. Unity isn't about agreeing on everything; it's about refusing to let what divides us be bigger than who unites us. Unity is not the absence of conflict, it is the presence of Christ.

The conversation moves from Paul's farewell to the Ephesian elders to debates over whether Charlie Kirk should be called a martyr. Along the way, they examine the cost of faithful witness, the need for strong church leadership, and the danger of shrinking back from declaring the whole counsel of God. Pastor Josh also reflects on his shift in preaching. The team discusses church governance and revival moments at Lakepointe Church.
