Pastor Kyle HowardPastor Kyle Howard continues our Revelation series by exploring Jesus' message to the church in Laodicea and what it reveals about our own hearts today. What does it mean to be "lukewarm"? Was Jesus simply calling for more passion, or was He pointing to something much deeper? Pastor Kyle examines the historical setting of Laodicea and how a culture of self-sufficiency had slowly led the church away from daily dependence on Christ.
This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman! Together, they unpack one of the most important questions every Christian has to answer: Are we following the real Jesus… or the version of Jesus we've created? In a culture that constantly reshapes Jesus into someone who fits our preferences, politics, emotions, and lifestyle, this conversation challenges us to return to the Jesus of Scripture. Madi and Pastor Kyle talk about why so many people want Jesus as Savior but not as Lord, how we've unintentionally turned Christianity into something we consume instead of a life we surrender, and what it actually costs to follow Christ. If you've ever wondered whether your faith has been shaped more by culture than by God's Word, this episode will leave you asking some hard, but life-changing questions. Be sure to stay you and stay true! Questions we answer in this episode: -Have we created a version of Jesus that looks more like us than Scripture? -Has culture quietly shaped the way you see Jesus? -Are you following Christ, or just consuming Christianity? -How can you tell if your faith is built on God's Word or personal preference? -Why did Jesus talk so much about surrender and sacrifice? -What does it actually cost to follow Jesus? AND SO MUCH MORE!

Sunday Morning Message - "Spiritual Gifts - Part 1"In this message from July 12, Pastor Kyle continues our walk through 1 Corinthians exploring chapters 12–14, where Paul reminds us that every believer has been uniquely gifted by God to serve the body of Christ. He teaches that while our gifts may be different, they all work together to strengthen the church, and that love must always be the foundation for everything we do. These chapters also challenge us to pursue worship that is both Spirit-filled and orderly, building up the entire church and pointing people to Christ.

Sunday Morning Message - "Win! Running the Race and Fighting the Fight"In this message from June 21, Pastor Kyle is in 1 Corinthians chapter 9 drawing focus on how life was intended to have a bigger mission than personal success or earthly accomplishments. Through Paul's example, we discovered that true fulfillment comes when we embrace our part in God's story - living to see others won into the family of God. This radical reorienting of life calls us to view everywhere God has sent us as our mission field: our families, workplaces, and communities. Paul's passion wasn't just for personal comfort but for the sake of the gospel, demonstrating that the good news of Jesus is too important to stop with us.

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle challenges believers to measure their lives by a different scoreboard—one of surrender, spiritual growth, and lasting fruit. He reminds us that discipleship is not about activity, attendance, or outward success, but about abiding deeply in Christ, allowing God to shape our hearts, and producing fruit that impacts others for eternity. Even life's hardships can become fertile ground for growth when surrendered to God.

Sunday Morning Worship - "Don't Become a Stumbling Block!"In this message from June 14, Pastor Kyle focuses on the tension between Christian liberty and Christian love, using Paul's teaching about food sacrificed to idols as a framework. While the Corinthian believers were technically correct that idols have no real power, their knowledge was causing them to overlook something far more important—the spiritual wellbeing of fellow believers. This passage calls us to evaluate our decisions not merely by what we have the "right" to do, but by what best serves others and glorifies Christ. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: our maturity isn't measured by how much freedom we can exercise, but by how willingly we lay down our rights out of love for God and others.
This Sunday, Pastor Kyle from Bethel Church in Lansing joined us and shared from Mark 3, reminding us that Jesus doesn't turn away from our weaknesses; He invites us to bring them to Him. When we stop hiding our brokenness and come to Christ, we find grace, healing, and restoration.

Sunday Morning Message - "Marriage & Singleness"In this message from June 7, Pastor Kyle continues in 1 Corinthians 7:17-37 and how our identity in Christ transcends our circumstances, relationships, and situations in life. Paul addresses believers in various life situations—circumcised and uncircumcised, slave and free, married and single—with a unifying message: God has placed you exactly where you are for His purposes. The passage calls us beyond obsessing over our current circumstances to live with eternal urgency and focus. Whether we find ourselves in ideal situations or challenging ones, our brief time on earth demands that we live for what will last forever—only what's done for Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle teaches that the greatest legacy we can leave is not success, possessions, or opportunities, but a genuine faith in Jesus that is passed to the next generation. He challenges parents, grandparents, and the church to stop outsourcing spiritual responsibility and instead model a real relationship with God in everyday life. As faith is pressed into our own hearts first, we can intentionally invest in the next generation so they know God's faithfulness, walk in His ways, and carry His kingdom further than we ever could.

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle teaches that money is a powerful tool but a terrible master. He challenges us to stop letting fear, debt, comparison, and consumerism control our lives and instead put God first in every area, including our finances. Through biblical stewardship, generosity, and kingdom priorities, we can move from stress and scarcity into freedom, peace, and legacy, learning that true prosperity is not found in possessions but in trusting and honoring God.
Pastor Kyle reminds us that while our past may try to compete with God's work in our lives, God is always able to bring healing, restoration, and purpose. We are not defined by our old identity, but transformed into a new creation. If we stop rehearsing the past, God can turn grief into presence, shame into dignity, and unhealthy cycles into a godly legacy!

Sunday Morning Message - "Delightfully Different"In this message from May 24, Pastor Kyle explores Paul's urgent call for believers to live according to their true identity in Christ, addressing how we handle disputes with fellow believers, maintain our witness before the world, and honor God with our bodies. Paul reminds us that too much is at stake—our personal holiness, our witness, and the reputation of Christ's church—to not take these matters seriously. The core message is this: we must remember who we are as children of God and allow that identity to shape every area of our lives, from our relationships to our personal choices.

Behind Your Back: Pastor Kyle Jackson
Happy Mothers Day! Welcome to part 5 of our series “Life's Biggest Questions.” Today we are answering “What Does It Mean to Honor Father and Mother as We Get Older?” Open your Bible and follow along with Pastor Kyle.
You may feel weak, stuck, or ashamed. But if you are in Christ, your standing before God is settled forever. There is now no condemnation. In Romans 8:1–11, Paul takes us to one of the most hope-filled chapters in the Bible and shows us what God has done for us through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus was condemned in your place so that you could be fully accepted. And the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you. This message is about more than forgiveness. It is about freedom, transformation, and the assurance that God is at work in you right now. In this message, Pastor Kyle explores: What it means that there is “now no condemnation” The difference between conviction and condemnation How the Father planned, the Son accomplished, and the Spirit applies salvation What it means to walk according to the Spirit Practical ways to set your mind on the things of the Spirit How the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer Why the resurrection power of God is already at work in you If you are in Christ, you are not trying to earn God's acceptance. You already have it. And the Spirit of God is in you, empowering you to live a new life with freedom, peace, and hope.
You don't understand yourself. You don't obey yourself. You can't change yourself. And deep down… you know it. There's a war within. In Romans 7:14-25, Paul gives one of the most honest descriptions of the human experience. He says, “I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.” There's a gap between who you are and who you want to be. A gap between your desire and your ability. This message isn't about pretending that struggle doesn't exist. It's about understanding it and knowing where real hope is found. In this message, Pastor Kyle explores: - Why you don't understand your own behavior - The gap between your desires and your ability - What the Bible means by “the flesh” and indwelling sin - Why trying harder isn't enough to change you - How the war within is actually evidence of real faith - Why the answer isn't a “what”… but a Who You are not the only one who feels this, and you are not meant to win this war alone. There is a Savior who meets you in the struggle and delivers you from it.

In our instant world, Jesus has been ignored, forgotten, and reduced. He's a life coach dedicated to our success, a therapist for our anxiety, a political ally for our causes, or a genie for our desires.
