Faith was never meant to stay the same. A faith that is not growing is a faith that is vulnerable, and Ephesians 4 gives us a clear picture of how God designed our faith to mature. Immature faith gets tossed around by false teaching and deception, much like a toddler knocked flat by a small wave. God's design for growth is not a solo effort. He placed us in a body of believers, gave each person unique gifts, and provided pastors and teachers to equip us for the work. The goal is Christlikeness, and the path runs straight through community. Truth and love together are the two pillars of a maturing church. Stay connected to Christ, stay connected to His people, and trust that from Him, the whole body grows.
2nd Samuel Series Message: 16 Episode: 1 of 3 Broadcast: July 20, 2026 Key Verses: 2nd Samuel 14 In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz teaches through 2 Samuel 14 in a message titled "The Best Laid Plans." As Joab orchestrates a plan to bring Absalom back to Jerusalem, we see how human strategies, though well-intentioned, can fall short when they bypass true repentance, justice, and reconciliation. This chapter reminds us that lasting restoration cannot be accomplished through manipulation or appearances but must be grounded in God's truth and His ways. Pastor Michael unpacks the wisdom found in this passage, encouraging believers to trust God's timing and resist the temptation to force outcomes according to their own plans. This insightful teaching will help equip you to walk through life as a Christian with discernment and patience, applying God's truth to your relationships, decisions, and daily walk as you learn to depend on His perfect plan rather than your own.

Are you spiritually prepared for this season? In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt is joined by Pastor Michael to discuss the historical and spiritual significance of the Hebrew month of Av, and how to navigate potential challenges through faith, repentance, and intentional living. The historical pattern of this period holds tragedy and testing, yet Biblical lessons in this month reveal how to respond to contradiction, opposition, and delay with wisdom and courage. This is a time to guard our “ear gate” against bad reports and to choose a Joshua-Caleb mindset of faith over fear. Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they unpack the history and present application of Av, the cautionary story of the tribe of Simeon, and how to avoid impulsive actions in this season by consecrating your emotional life to God.#CurtLandryPodcast #ChristianPodcast #HebrewMonthOfAv #FaithOverFear #SpiritualGrowth #BiblicalWisdom #JoshuaCalebMindset #FaithAndRepentance

This summer we will walk through one of the most gripping stories in all of Scripture — the life of Joseph. From favored son to slave, from prison to prime minister, Joseph's journey mirrors the ups and downs we can encounter in life. Over six weeks our teaching team will trace God's sovereign hand through betrayal, injustice, favor and restoration. This series will enable you to see your own pits and palaces through eyes of faith and trust that God is writing a redemptive story through it all.
2nd Samuel Series Message: 14 Episode: 3 of 3 Broadcast: July 14, 2026 Key Verses: 2nd Samuel 12:26-31 In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz begins "The Kindness of the King…Rejected," teaching through 2 Samuel 12:26–31. As David returns to lead Israel in victory over the Ammonites, this passage marks a transition from personal restoration to renewed kingdom leadership. Yet beneath the military triumph lies a deeper spiritual lesson about how people respond to God's rightful King. Pastor Michael explores the consequences of rejecting God's rule, the seriousness of resisting His authority, and the gracious invitation to surrender to His kingdom instead. This thought-provoking teaching points beyond David to Jesus Christ, the true King, who deserves our wholehearted allegiance. You'll be encouraged and equipped to walk through life as a Christian by embracing God's truth, submitting to His authority, and applying His Word to your everyday life with faith, humility, and obedience.

When You Fall in The Gully Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 5:16-17 1 John Series, Part 23 Episode Summary In part 23 of the 1 John series, Pastor Michael tells the story of two brothers who fall into a deep gully - one who keeps struggling to get out, and one who decorates it and settles in. Through 1 John's teaching on praying for believers caught in sin, we discover that everyone falls sometimes, but what you do next makes all the difference. It's better to struggle with sin than to settle in sin. Key Points - John calls believers to pray for fellow believers who are caught in sin - the first response should be intercession, not indignation - Sin not leading to death is sin that is met with repentance and a return to God - Sin leading to death is unrepentant sin that a person settles into and refuses to leave - Struggle is a sign of life - a dead mouse doesn't try to get out of the trap - Don't stop throwing the rope, even if the person won't take it Main Takeaway The question isn't whether you've sinned - we all have. The question is what you're doing with your sin. Are you hiding it or confessing it? Feeding it or fighting it? Settling in or struggling to get back to Jesus? Don't decorate the gully. Take the rope, climb out, and then throw it back in for someone else. Memorable Quotes - "It's better to struggle with sin than to settle in sin." - "Everyone sins sometimes. It's what you do next that matters." - "When a brother is tripped up, the first action should be intercession, not indignation." - "If your plan includes scheduling the apology before committing the sin, you're not repenting, you're forging a permission slip." - "Repentance is the difference between death and life." - "Don't stop throwing the rope, even if the person won't take it." Reflection Question Are you struggling to get out of the gully, or have you started decorating it? And is there someone in your life who needs you to throw them a rope right now? Tune in to hear the full story of Eddie, Ray, Cecil, and the legendary "Bless This Mess" license plate sign - and why struggle is actually a sign of spiritual life.

2nd Samuel Series Message: 13 Episode: 3 of 3 Broadcast: July 09, 2026 Key Verses: 2nd Samuel 12:13-25 In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz concludes "The Anatomy of a Fall" series with a message titled "The Confession," teaching through 2 Samuel 12:13–25. After being confronted by Nathan, David responds with genuine repentance, confessing his sin before the Lord and experiencing both God's forgiveness and the lasting consequences of his choices. This deeply moving passage reveals the mercy of God toward the truly repentant, demonstrating that while sin carries consequences, God's grace is greater than our failures. Through David's brokenness, mourning, worship, and renewed hope, we see a powerful picture of restoration that ultimately points to God's redemptive plan. Pastor Michael unpacks these timeless truths to encourage believers to respond quickly to God's conviction, trust in His unfailing mercy, and find hope even after failure. This encouraging teaching will help equip you to walk through life as a Christian with humility, confidence in God's forgiveness, and a deeper understanding of how to apply His truth to your everyday life.

Learn more about overcoming hopelessness: https://curtlandry.com/hopedeferredHas delayed hope made your heart feel sick?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael dive deep into the personal, refining, and soul-wearying experience of hope deferred—hope that is delayed or postponed. Waiting can be painful, but it is not punishment or abandonment. It's an intentional opportunity to grow in wisdom and favor with God, just as Jesus did. It stretches us to be transparent about our frustration and cry out to Jesus with our questions, to come to know Him and be known by Him in greater ways. God is always after your heart, and when you invite Him into your sorrow and longing, you will find peace that comes through hope anchored in Him, rather than an outcome. Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they discuss the potential for waiting seasons to transform and refine your character and how they bring greater spiritual maturity, giving you a front-row seat to experience the wisdom of God's perfect timing. #HopeDeferred #SeasonOfWaiting #WaitingOnGod #FaithJourney #SpiritualGrowth #CurtLandryPodcast #OvercomingDiscouragement #ChristianPodcast

The Beggar, The Boss, and The Bold Speaker: Pastor Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 5:14-15 1 John Series, Part 22 Episode Summary Returning to the 1 John series, Pastor Michael uses an original skit about three siblings trying to ask their Dad for a puppy to illustrate three very different approaches to prayer. Are you a Beggar - too timid to bother God? A Boss - trying to manipulate or demand your way? Or Bold - a child who trusts a loving Father to hear and answer wisely? John gives us a better way to pray. Key Points - Our confidence in prayer is not based on who we are, but on Who God Is - Believers are not beggars at the door - we are children of the household, with a claim rooted in The Blood of Christ - Praying "according to His will" means trusting God more than we trust ourselves - The problem is wanting the promises of prayer without the surrender of prayer - God hears, God cares, and God will act - we can pray with boldness AND trust Main Takeaway Pray like a bold child asking a loving Father. Not with the timidity of a beggar who fears being turned away, and not with the arrogance of a boss who demands his own way. Come honestly, come confidently, and trust that a Father Who loves you will do what is best - even when the answer is not what you expected. Memorable Quotes - "Your confidence for prayer is not based on who you are. It is based on Who God Is." - "A kid doesn't have to make an appointment to ask Dad a question." - "Prayer is not me taking the throne; it's me coming boldly to the throne." - "It's a problem when we want the promises of prayer without the surrender of prayer." - "The beggar is afraid God will not listen. The boss is angry if God does not obey. But the bold child has learned something better." - "If my Father hears me, I am not forgotten. If my Father loves me, I am not unsafe. If my Father is wise, His Answer is better than anything I can ask for." Reflection Question When you pray, which are you most like - Bex the Beggar, Boz the Boss, or Bo the Bold? What would it look like to bring your requests to God with confidence and trust this week? Tune in to hear the hilarious skit featuring three siblings hoping for a dog, and the legendary fate of Mister Nibbles the hamster - and discover what it really means to pray like a bold child asking a loving Father.

Fruit of the Root, 5 of 8 from July 5, 2026 “God's unbelievable kindness reshapes our belief to make us kind.” Galatians 5 & Titus 3 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon teaches that Biblical kindness is an active, Spirit-produced way of moving toward others to serve them, flowing out of a deep awareness of God's overwhelming kindness to us in Christ when we were still selfish and enslaved to sin. Pastor Michael calls believers to let this kindness reshape their lives—showing love, setting healthy boundaries without becoming doormats or divisive—and to see such transformed kindness as evidence of the Holy Spirit's work, not their own effort.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt is joined by Pastor Michael to break down the much-debated topic of women in ministry leadership roles, what the Bible teaches, and why out-of-context scriptures have caused centuries of confusion and misunderstanding.When we look at the significant and strategic roles women play throughout the Bible, from Deborah to Esther to Mary Magdalene, we see God's heart for women to have an equal part in building God's Kingdom through their voice and leadership. Acts 2:17-18 declares that both sons and daughters will prophesy, which involves edifying, teaching, and declaring God's truths. 1 Timothy 2:12 and 1 Corinthians 14 address specific local issues regarding order in worship services with new converts, and are not reflective of a universal protocol for all time.The Holy Spirit can move and speak just as powerfully through a woman as through a man, and the Body of Messiah is stronger when men and women partner together in humility under God's authority.Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they unpack misinterpreted passages with grace and clarity, and encourage women to operate in their spiritual gifts without being limited by societal or denominational labels.#WomenInMinistry #WomenLeaders #biblicalteaching #ChristianPodcast

Michael Miano grew up with nothing — a mother addicted to drugs a father who wasn't in the picture and a childhood spent bouncing between family homes. He found the family he was looking for in the Gangster Disciples and quickly rose to becoming a recruiter for one of America's most notorious street gangs. In and out of jail from a young age — an attempted firebombing in New York finally put him away for 3 years.

Michael Miano grew up with nothing — a mother addicted to drugs a father who wasn't in the picture and a childhood spent bouncing between family homes. He found the family he was looking for in the Gangster Disciples and quickly rose to becoming a recruiter for one of America's most notorious street gangs. In and out of jail from a young age — an attempted firebombing in New York finally put him away for 3 years. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Pastor Michael Miano tells the complete story of how prison became the turning point that changed everything — how he found his life's purpose behind bars and what it took to build a completely new life on the other side.

2nd Samuel Series Message: 11 Episode: 1 of 3 Broadcast: June 29, 2026 Key Verses: 2nd Samuel 11:6-27 In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz continues the series "The Anatomy of a Fall" with a message titled "The Cover Up," teaching through 2 Samuel 11:6–27. After David's sin with Bathsheba, his attempts to conceal his actions only lead to deeper deception, manipulation, and devastating consequences. This sobering passage reveals how unchecked sin can grow when we try to hide it instead of bringing it into the light through confession and repentance. Pastor Michael unpacks the tragic progression of David's choices, reminding us that while we may be able to fool others, nothing is hidden from the Lord. This powerful teaching will help equip you to walk through life as a Christian with honesty and humility, encouraging you to turn to God's grace rather than covering your failures, and to faithfully apply His truth to your everyday life. Welcome to Walk in Truth! These are the Bible teachings of Pastor Michael Lantz. Equipping you to reach out with God's truth to all people. And how to apply that truth to today's issues, trends, and culture. Leave your question or comment contact@walkintruth.com
Unsinkable Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Matthew 14:22-33 Episode Summary Fresh off Vacation Bible School week, Pastor Michael uses the scientific principle of buoyancy to explore what happens when life pulls us under. Through the story of Peter walking on water - and beginning to sink - we discover that Jesus doesn't wait for us to have it together before reaching out His hand. When we're sinking, all we need are three words: "Lord, save me!" Key Points - The Disciples were in a storm because they obeyed Jesus - the presence of a storm doesn't mean the absence of God - Peter is the only person besides Jesus to ever walk on water, but fear shifted his focus from Christ to chaos - Fear doesn't drown us all at once - it steals our focus one wave and one "what if" at a time - Jesus reached out immediately when Peter cried out - not after Peter proved himself worthy - Jesus never asked us to save ourselves. He asked us to trust Him. Main Takeaway Jesus saves sinking people. Not the ones who have it all figured out. Not the ones whose faith never wavers. People whose faith is struggling, who are exhausted, who don't know what to do next. When you're sinking, don't wait for the right words or the right moment - cry out: "Lord, save me!" Memorable Quotes - "Jesus saves sinking people." - "The presence of a storm doesn't mean the absence of God. Just because the wind is against you doesn't mean God Is against you." - "If Jesus calls you, He'll carry you. If He commands you, He'll keep you." - "Fear doesn't have to drown you all at once. It just has to steal your focus. One wave at a time. One 'what if' at a time." - "We spend so much of our lives trying harder, working harder, holding on tighter. But eventually it all runs out. And we learn the truth - Jesus never asked us to save ourselves." - "When my heart changed, my situation changed." Reflection Question Are you trying to save yourself before crying out to Jesus? What would it look like to stop waiting and simply say, "Lord, save me"? Tune in to hear Pastor Michael's vulnerable account of a year of chest pains, muscle spasms, and a left eyelid impersonating a grasshopper - and how crying out to Jesus changed everything.
