What is your God-given purpose, and how do you actually live it out in everyday life? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Trevor, Pastor Josh, and Dylan unpack what it really means to be created in the image of God and why your purpose is much bigger than your job title, career, ministry position, or platform. Whether you are a pastor, mechanic, nurse, teacher, construction worker, stay at home parent, business owner, or somewhere in between, your everyday life has significance because you were created to bear the image of God and represent His character to the world around you. The conversation explores the Imago Dei, Christian purpose, vocation and calling, the false divide between sacred and secular work, spiritual formation, abiding in Jesus, Christian community, and how spending time with God gradually changes the way we think, speak, love, and live. They even dig into the “chameleon effect,” the tendency we have to unconsciously imitate the people we spend time around, and connect it to what happens when a follower of Jesus continually spends time in Scripture, God's presence, and healthy Christian community.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

Kingdom Logic turns the world's definition of strength upside down. In Week 2 of our Kingdom Logic series, Pastor Josh challenges the way we think about what it means to be strong. The world often defines strength by power, dominance, or the ability to overpower others—but in God's Kingdom, true strength is revealed through what we have the power to do but choose not to do. Through the fruit of the Spirit, we discover that gentleness, self-control, restraint, and a calm spirit are not signs of weakness. They are evidence of incredible strength. Real strength is having the ability to react, retaliate, or take control, yet possessing the discipline to surrender our response to God. Sometimes the strongest person in the room isn't the loudest or most powerful. It's the person who could react—but chooses restraint. Join us as we continue Kingdom Logic and discover how the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to master what's happening within us rather than trying to control everything around us.

What is my purpose? How do I know if I am actually living the life God created me to live? In Part 1 of In His Image, Pastor Josh Hersey goes back to Genesis 1 to uncover the biblical foundation of our purpose: we were created in the image of God to know Him, become like Him, and reflect Him to the world around us. Instead of building our identity around happiness, success, career, possessions, feelings, or the expectations of other people, Scripture gives us something much deeper and more lasting. Through Genesis 1:26–27, Colossians 3:1–10, John 10:10, and 2 Corinthians 3:16–18, this message explores what it means to be made in the image of God, how the enemy distorts our identity through lies and false definitions of purpose, what it means to find our true life in Christ, and how the Holy Spirit is transforming believers to become more and more like Jesus. The service concludes with a powerful story about a “plus one,” salvation, and public baptisms celebrating people who have put their old life behind them and are walking in new life with Christ. If you have ever asked, “What is God's purpose for my life?” “Who am I in Christ?” “What does it mean to be created in God's image?” or “How do I find my identity in Jesus?” this message is for you.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

Pastor Josh reminds us that we should greatly esteem those faithful ministers that work in the fields where the Lord planted them.

What if the struggle you keep fighting isn't actually the problem, but a symptom of something deeper? Pastor Corey Alley joins Pastor Josh for a wide ranging conversation about hearing God in the noise, navigating the pain of ministry, staying rooted in Christ, and discovering an identity that is bigger than our struggles. Corey shares how Psalm 1 and the biblical imagery of trees, rivers, and living water began speaking to him during one of the hardest seasons of his pastoral ministry, and how remaining connected to the source changes the way we walk through pain. The conversation also gets deeply personal as Corey shares his story of drug addiction, an overdose, meeting Jesus through a small local church, relapse, and the moment surrender changed the direction of his life. Josh and Corey talk about addiction and recovery, the prodigal son, shame, Christian identity, vulnerability, community, God's love, and why our deepest struggles may be symptoms of wounds God wants to heal. If you have ever wrestled with discouragement, repetitive cycles, failure, addiction, or wondering how God sees you in the middle of your mess, this conversation is for you.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

When life goes down, Kingdom Logic says take it up! In Week 1 of our new Kingdom Logic series, Pastor Josh looks at the story of Hezekiah and Sennacherib in 2 Kings 18–19 to reveal a powerful truth about prayer. When Hezekiah faced a situation beyond his ability to control, his response was to bring it before the Lord. Prayer isn't meant to be our last resort when we've exhausted every other option—it's one of the most powerful weapons God has given us. Prayer changes us, shifts our perspective, strengthens our faith, and invites God into circumstances we cannot change on our own. Whatever may be going down in your life—your circumstances, relationships, finances, health, or hope—don't carry it alone. Take it up in prayer and trust the God who is greater than whatever you're facing.

We were never meant to do life alone. If love is our highest priority, then cultivating healthy relationships must be at the top of our list.

What happens when God gets a hold of one man? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh sits down with James Griffin, Lead Pastor of Cross Point City Church, for an honest conversation about discipleship, leadership, ministry, biblical manhood, and what it takes to remain faithful as God increases your influence. James shares the remarkable story of stepping into a wounded church, watching God bring it back to life, navigating the growing weight of leadership, protecting his marriage and family, handling criticism, and learning to carry greater responsibility with thick skin and a tender heart. The conversation eventually turns to James's own family and the story of how God radically saved his father, changing the trajectory of generations that followed. James and Josh discuss why men matter in the home and the church, what biblical masculinity actually looks like, and Cross Point City Church's four pillars of biblical manhood: lover, leader, protector, and provider. Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, husband, father, or simply someone who wants to follow Jesus faithfully, this conversation is a powerful reminder that leadership is not ultimately about platform, popularity, or influence. It is about becoming the kind of person God can trust with what He has placed in your hands.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

A Little Self Reflection-Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate Church

Next Gen Weekend is about more than giving kids and students a place to go during church. It is about intentionally discipling the next generation to know Jesus, understand Scripture, practice their faith, and grow into men and women who follow Him with their whole lives. In this conversation, Pastor Josh sits down with Nisi Rivera and Astin Hunt to talk about the heart behind kids ministry and student ministry at Church on the Rock, why spiritual formation matters, and what makes Next Gen ministry different from childcare, entertainment, or simply creating a fun environment. They also discuss the important role parents play in Christian discipleship, why Deuteronomy 6 places spiritual formation in the everyday rhythms of the home, and how the local church can come alongside families rather than replace them. You'll hear personal stories of life change, encouragement for parents who feel like they do not have it all together, and a challenge for every generation to invest in the one coming behind them. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, ministry leader, volunteer, student, or simply someone who cares about the future of the Church, this conversation is a reminder that God is still working powerfully through the next generation.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

How do you stay faithful when the world is constantly pulling you in different directions? In this message, Pastor Josh Slautterback continues our series, The Crew, by unpacking the powerful message of 2 John. Through John's call to “watch yourselves,” we're reminded that spiritual drift rarely happens overnight. Instead, it begins with small compromises that slowly pull us away from God's truth. What does it look like to stay the course? By walking in both truth and love. Pastor Josh shows how these two aren't competing values—they're inseparable marks of a follower of Jesus. As we fix our eyes on Christ, we learn to recognize deception, guard our hearts, and faithfully walk in the direction He has called us.

Pastor Josh kicks off our new sermon series, Mark With this Sunday's theme of The Suspenseful Secret of Jesus.

Your words are building your home or burning it down. There is no middle ground.In week two of Home Team, Pastor Josh Joines opens Ephesians 4:29, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up," and gets honest about the thing quietly wrecking more families than money or busyness ever will: communication. After 25 years of sitting with couples and parents, he's seen it over and over. Most families don't have a love problem. They have a communication problem.Proverbs 18:21 says words kill and words give life; they're either poison or fruit, you choose. In this message, you'll find out whether you're a stuffer or a shouter, why you should never have an argument over text, how honor closes the door to the enemy in your home, and five practical ways to build your family up with your words: courtesy, mercy, understanding, honesty, and affirmation.This service also holds a moment nobody planned. Pastor Josh stopped mid-service to pray for the sick, because the power of the Lord was present to heal, just like Luke 5:17. If you need healing in your body, don't skip that part.God is present, active, and ready to change the atmosphere of your home, because your words begin in your heart, and Jesus is in the heart-changing business.
