Anchored in Matthew 19:26 ("With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible"), we'll walk step-by-step from recognizing God's power to living boldly in His possibilities. Each week will build like a pathway—starting with awakening faith, clearing obstacles, taking action, and sustaining the walk. Let's start the new year by renewing our sense of God's goodness and inviting His direction in setting audacious faith goals for 2026.
Jesus is exalted in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. His Name is above every name.

Numb is Not Normal Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Ephesians 4:19 Episode Summary In this New Year's 2026 message, Pastor Michael shares the story of Ashlyn Blocker, a girl who can't feel pain due to a rare condition, to illustrate spiritual numbness. Through Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we discover how constant exposure to sin desensitizes our conscience until we stop feeling conviction - and that's when we're in the most danger. The good news: God doesn't shame numb hearts, He heals them. Key Points - Like physical pain warns us of danger, spiritual discomfort alerts us when something is wrong - Ephesian culture normalized immorality through idol worship and occult practices until people were "past feeling" - Modern culture dulls our conscience through constant media exposure, distraction, and redefining moral boundaries - Being "given over to lewdness" means losing the ability to say no to ourselves, not freedom but brake lines cut - Spiritual numbness produces insatiable craving, not contentment Main Takeaway When you stop feeling, you start losing yourself. Spiritual numbness isn't a sign we're okay - it means our warning system has stopped working. When guilt disappears and conviction fades, that's when we're in the most danger. But God doesn't shame callused hearts; He softens them and gives us new, living hearts. Memorable Quotes - "When you stop feeling, you start losing yourself." - "The worst stage of sin isn't when it hurts - it's when it stops hurting." - "When God molds our hearts, it's like His Fingerprints are on us. But when our hearts resist God, those fingerprints wear off." - "What Paul called being given over to sensuality, our culture calls 'being true to yourself.'" - "Once you normalize one messed-up behavior, it becomes easier and faster to normalize the next thing." - "That pain is not the enemy. It's the message that you need to pay attention." - "When you stop feeling, you start losing yourself. When Jesus renews your heart, you start finding yourself." Reflection Question Has your conscience been trying to get your attention about something, and instead of listening, have you been trying to numb it through scrolling, consuming, or distraction? Tune in to hear the powerful story of Ashlyn Blocker, who can't feel pain, why everything has been weird since Harambe, and how ancient Ephesus eerily mirrors modern American culture.

The Protestant Chaos Dilemma (Day 7 - The 12 Days of Restless) We try and react to clip that online Roman Catholics were using to drag Protestants from the Caleb Hammer show. Pastor Michael was unable to because it was unintelligible to him. So we discuss if the lack of hierarchy and chaos 'inherent' to protestantism is a good reason to reject protestantism. Welcome to the 12 days of Restless where we will be releasing daily podcasts every day. We hope you enjoy day one. We also hope you will support this show on patreon. Join our patreon for bonus episodes every single week! You can follow this podcast all over the internet. twitter, instagram. or facebook Or email us at restlesspodcasting@gmail.com
Our purpose is to steward creation and spread God's glory by filling the earth.

Send us a textWhat a privilege to know that we serve a God who hears us when we call!! But... are we hearing HIM when He speaks to us??

Join us Sunday morning at 10am as Pastor Michael delivers a message about the critical perspective God is continually trying to share with us!

Who Can You Trust? Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Daniel 7:13-14 Episode Summary In part 4 of our Christmas 2025 series, Pastor Michael presents a hilarious father-daughter skit about a rigged board game to illustrate how humans abuse power. Through Daniel's prophetic vision, we see that earthly empires are like beasts, but Jesus is different - He's the King who earned our trust by arriving in a stable and going to the Cross. The baby in the manger is the cosmic King whose empire will never end. Key Points - Daniel's vision shows four great empires (Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome) as beasts representing human power - "Son of Man" is Jesus' most used title for Himself - it shows His humanity, humility, and deity - Jesus didn't seize power like earthly rulers - He gave it up, proving He can be trusted with authority - The Ancient of Days (God the Father) presents the entire universe as a kingdom to Jesus - Every earthly empire eventually fails, but Jesus' kingdom is everlasting and will never be destroyed Main Takeaway Jesus is The King We Can Trust. In a world where authority figures abuse power and let us down, Jesus came in weakness to show He could be trusted with power. He didn't demand trust - He earned it by laying down His life while we were still a mess. Memorable Quotes - "Jesus is The King We Can Trust." - "Rome ruled by force; Jesus rules by faith. Rome demanded loyalty; Jesus proved Himself worthy of trust." - "The only Person Who can be trusted with ultimate authority is The One Who Is Willing to Sacrifice Himself for others." - "People always think the answer to our problems is a bigger, better beast. In truth, there is only One King we can fully trust. And His Name Is Jesus." - "Jesus did not come armed for battle. He came as a baby. He came in weakness to show He could be trusted with power." - "Jesus doesn't demand your trust. He earns it. He arrived in a stable, and went to the Cross. That's a King you can trust." Reflection Question If you've been burned by authority figures who let you down, are you ready to trust the One King who came in weakness to prove He could be trusted with power? Tune in to hear the entertaining "Reindeer Games" skit about a daughter who keeps changing the rules, and discover why comparing Jesus to becoming a mosquito helps us understand the Incarnation.

Pastor Michael shares a story to illustrate the tendency of humans to forget the source of their blessings, similarly to how the Israelites quickly turned to idol worship after being delivered from Egypt.

Today, Pastor Michael Acock speaks in part 3 of our Advent series, Awakening Joy: Emmanuel in the Shadows. What if the darkest moments of our lives could become the very spaces where divine light breaks through? In a powerful message, Pastor Michael explores how Jesus intentionally enters the shadows of our world, just as He did over 2000 years ago. Drawing from Matthew 1:18-25, he illuminates how Christ's birth occurred not in pristine conditions, but amid political oppression, social chaos, and personal scandal. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at our website. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way.
