If you've been sensing a shift but not sure what to do next, this message was for you. Pastor Rich shared how we can position ourselves for Kairos moments. These are divine, God-appointed windows of time where things align, accelerate, and move forward in ways only He can orchestrate. Here are four ways we're learning to stay in position: Be still — Stop striving. Let your heart slow down and recognize that He is near. Stand firm — Hold on to truth, walk in obedience, and stay grounded in faith. Know He is with you — Even in the battle or the unknown, He hasn't left your side. Praise and give thanks — Worship keeps us aligned and opens the door to more. Take time this week to ask God what positioning looks like for you in this season.

The COVID lockdowns pulled back the curtain on every level of our society. We quickly found out who has the courage to stand on principle and who caved to the tyrannical forces of power. In a deeper way, we came to see what our leaders, friends, and family really valued. The results were deeply troubling. For many of us, our faith is our core strength and motivator. It shapes our every action and inaction. As faith is our guide, we need our pastors, our shepherds, to be courageous in the face of the prowling wolves. Unfortunately, we saw a lot of pastors and priests waver in the face of authoritarian policies. In the wake of the lockdowns, there's been a quiet reshuffling as Christians seek out shepherds they can trust to stand strong. As such, the question of whether someone should find another church has become increasingly prevalent. Pastor Rich Lusk discusses this issue with Bryan Dawson, helping listeners evaluate and discern whether they should stay or find a new church home. It's not an easy or light decision and, thankfully, Pastor Lusk gives some great tips and questions we should all consider.

In the message, "THE ANOINTED ONE," Pastor Rich Whitter walks through Hebrews 1:9–14, lifting our eyes to the unmatched authority and majesty of Jesus Christ. The writer of Hebrews paints a clear picture—Jesus is not just greater than the angels, He is enthroned above them, anointed with the oil of joy, and reigning forever with unshakable power.Pastor Rich emphasizes the eternal nature of Christ's kingdom, His love for righteousness, and the significance of His divine identity. While angels are ministering spirits, Jesus is the Anointed One—the Son, the Savior, and the seated King. The passage calls us to see Jesus for who He truly is: exalted, victorious, and worthy of our full surrender.We hope this message leads you to worship with greater awe, reminding you that Jesus is not one among many—He stands alone. He is the Anointed One, and His throne endures forever.

In the message, "LOCK IN," Pastor Rich Whitter dives into Hebrews 2:1–3, issuing a sobering and urgent call to pay close attention to what we've heard so that we don't drift. This passage challenges believers to remain spiritually anchored, especially in a world full of distractions, compromise, and spiritual drift.Pastor Rich emphasizes that salvation is not something we can afford to take lightly. If the Old Testament message came with consequences, how much more must we respond to the message confirmed by Christ Himself? The text warns us: the danger isn't always rebellion it's neglect.This message urges you to lock in your focus, your faith, and your commitment to the gospel. Don't drift from what God has spoken. Instead, let this be a wake-up call to stay grounded in the truth, anchored in grace, and fully attentive to the voice of Jesus.

In the message, "Perspective," Pastor Rich Whitter unpacks Hebrews 2:5–10, offering a powerful reminder that what we see isn't always the full story. This passage lifts our eyes from the chaos of the present and anchors us in the eternal plan of God—one where Jesus reigns, even when it feels like everything is out of control.Pastor Rich points to the tension in the text: “At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see Jesus…” In moments of confusion, suffering, or unanswered questions, this is the shift we need—a kingdom perspective. Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering, is the lens through which we view our trials, our purpose, and our future.This message calls you to trade panic for perspective. To fix your eyes on the One who endured the cross for you. He's not distant—He stepped into our suffering to lead many sons and daughters to glory. Let this be your reminder: even when you don't see it all, you can still see Jesus. And that changes everything.
