Pastor Todd Grant joins us from Watts Powerhouse Church to share a powerful message about how God used a very, very broken down Samaritan woman to tell others about Him. Sometimes, we throw up our arms and say, “God can't use me. I don't know the Bible well enough. I am not mature enough in my faith. I haven't been walking with Jesus long enough.” The woman at the well didn't have any of those qualifications. She didn't know the Bible. She wasn't mature in her faith. She hadn't been walking with Jesus. She was a broken woman, but a broken woman who had been healed by Jesus. And she couldn't help but run into town and tell everyone about Him. She said, “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” And they went out of the town and found Jesus. “And many,” said, John, “believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony.” If God can use her, then God can use us. He can use our words to being hope and encouragement to so many in the inner city who are hurting. He can use you to wrap your arms around a little boy who has lost family member after family member. He can use you to tutor a little boy or a little girl. He can use you to speak life into a woman or a man who has experienced disappointment after disappointment. He can use you to be a friend to so many who have felt passed on by and rejected and discriminated against. He can use you to tell others about Jesus and how He knows all about them, but He still loves them.

September 21st, 2025 | Standalone | 1 Peter 4:12-16What does it truly cost to follow Jesus in 2025 America? In this timely and convicting message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz addresses the increasing hostility toward biblical truth and the growing price of public faithfulness. Sparked by the shocking and controversial death of Charlie Kirk—an unapologetic follower of Christ and defender of a biblical worldview—this sermon is a call to wake up, stand firm, and prepare for what lies ahead.Rooted in 1 Peter 4:12–16, Pastor Todd unpacks:Why persecution shouldn't surprise believersHow suffering refines the ChurchThe collapse of cultural Christianity in the WestThe urgency to raise a generation ready to stand for truthWhat bold, Spirit-filled witness looks like in a hostile cultureThis episode is more than a response to a cultural moment—it's a rallying cry for the Church to embrace the cost of true discipleship. As Pastor Todd reminds us: “This isn't just a defining moment. It's a refining one.”“Do not be surprised at the fiery trial...”“If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed...”“I am not ashamed of the Gospel...”The time for passive Christianity is over. This is the moment to stand with conviction, courage, and clarity—no matter the cost.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

10am 2 Timothy 4

Daniel 2 reveals God's sovereignty over all earthly kingdoms through Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a statue representing four successive empires. When faced with an impossible demand to reveal and interpret the king's dream, Daniel seeks God in prayer with his friends. God reveals both the dream and its meaning, showing how all human kingdoms will eventually fall while God's kingdom, represented by a stone that becomes a mountain, will endure forever. This narrative challenges us to place our ultimate allegiance in God's eternal kingdom rather than temporary earthly powers, finding courage to live as citizens of heaven even while serving faithfully in this world.https://www.ankenyfree.church

09.21.25 | "GOD, GIVE US MEN!" | PASTOR TODD SMITH

How Do You Respond When Life Doesn't Make Sense? Every believer faces moments when God seems silent, when prayers appear unanswered, and when suffering feels unbearable. The question isn't whether you'll encounter these trials—it's how you'll respond when your faith is tested in the furnace of real-world pain. For serious Christians, understanding the biblical approach to suffering isn't optional; it's essential for spiritual maturity and authentic discipleship. In this sermon, Pastor Todd examines the profound truth behind the timeless phrase "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die," exploring how genuine faith requires us to entrust our deepest struggles to God's sovereign plan. Drawing from the compelling account of Jochebed's impossible choice with baby Moses and Jesus' perfect example of surrendering to the Father's will, this message reveals why suffering is part of our calling as believers and how Christ conquered the world through apparent defeat. Pastor Todd addresses the critical difference between temporary earthly pain and eternal perspective, showing how even when we feel troubled, unsettled, or filled with doubt, we can follow Jesus' example rather than be overwhelmed by the spirit of this age or intimidated by the ruler of this age. This isn't merely inspirational content—it's foundational truth that every faithful believer must understand to navigate life's inevitable storms with biblical wisdom and unshakeable hope. Don't miss this essential teaching that will transform how you view your current struggles and equip you to entrust even your most painful circumstances to the One who judges justly.

09.17.25 | MIDWEEK SERVICE | PASTOR TODD SMITH

Living faithfully in a challenging world requires wisdom from biblical examples like Daniel. When taken into Babylonian captivity, Daniel faced systematic attempts to change his identity, beliefs, and lifestyle. Yet he strategically maintained his convictions while still functioning within the system he couldn't escape. He identified non-negotiables, respectfully proposed alternatives, and trusted God with the results. Today, we face similar pressures to assimilate to cultural values at odds with our faith. By being intentional about what forms our thinking, identifying our non-negotiables, and looking for strategic alternatives, we can maintain our integrity while still engaging effectively with the world around us.https://www.ankenyfree.church

September 14th, 2025 | Fortify | Joshua 24:14-15In Week 5 of our Fortify series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz brings a passionate message on the importance of generational faithfulness. From Joshua 24, we see a clear challenge: every family must choose whom they will serve — and that choice echoes for generations.With deep conviction, Pastor Todd calls parents, grandparents, and church leaders to draw a line in the sand: Resolve to follow Jesus no matter what Remove every idol that competes for His place Respond to the Gospel with awe and devotionDiscover how to create a home environment where God's vision shapes your parenting, His Word is the authority, and His people are central to your life. This is more than a call to commitment — it's a call to legacy.Plus, hear the moving story behind the hymn “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” — a powerful reminder of what unwavering faith can inspire.“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

09.14.25 | A SNAKE IN THE YARD | PASTOR TODD SMITH

Do you find yourself with an inexplicable sense that something isn't right in our world today? That deep, spiritual unrest that goes beyond the headlines and current events—that unsettling feeling in your spirit that signals something profound is shifting? For serious Christians walking faithfully in these last days, understanding the source of this spiritual disturbance and responding biblically is not optional—it's essential for effective Kingdom living. In this critical teaching, Pastor Todd exposes the spiritual dynamics behind the growing darkness we're witnessing and provides the biblical framework every believer needs to navigate these troubled times with confidence and purpose. You'll discover why Jesus himself experienced being troubled in heart, how the ruler of this age is intensifying his assault as his time grows short, and the three non-negotiable responses that separate mature believers from those who are overwhelmed by doubt and fear. This isn't about managing anxiety—it's about understanding the spiritual warfare of our generation and following Jesus' example when our hearts are troubled by the spirit of this age. Every faithful Christian must grasp these biblical principles to remain steadfast and effective in ministry during these unprecedented times. Don't allow doubt to rob you of the peace and power Christ has provided—learn to respond as Jesus did when the darkness presses in.

Have You Been In A Season Of Waiting? To support this broadcast and ministry: www.toddcoonato.com/give On this powerful episode of The Todd Coconato Show, Pastor Todd unpacks the purpose behind life's waiting seasons.

The Allure of the Lying Spirit of This Age — What You Need to Know About the Antichrist Spirit To help us and to fund this operation and what Pastor Todd talked about today, please go to www.toddcoconato.com/give. For our website: www.pastortodd.org.   Today's Todd Coconato Show may be one of the most important shows you've ever listened to. We are diving into the truth about the Antichrist spirit—its strategies, its deception, and its dangerous allure in this age. You're going to hear information here that you won't hear anywhere else. Make sure you tune in today, invite a friend, and prepare your heart, because this is a message that every believer needs right now.

The final chapter of Acts shows Paul under house arrest in Rome, yet still boldly proclaiming the gospel without hindrance. This seemingly abrupt ending powerfully illustrates the central message: nothing can stop God's mission. Despite facing persecution, imprisonment, shipwrecks, and countless other obstacles throughout his ministry, Paul continued to share the message of Christ. This truth gives us both hope that God's purposes will prevail despite opposition and boldness to speak with clarity and confidence. The greatest hindrance many face today isn't persecution but distraction from comfortable lives pulling focus away from God's mission.https://www.ankenyfree.church

The Violent Take It By Force

August 31st, 2025 | Fortify | 1 Peter 3:1-6What does true, lasting beauty look like in a world that only sees the surface? In this bold and grace-filled message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues the Fortify series by unpacking the call to biblical womanhood from 1 Peter 3.With clarity and conviction, Pastor Todd explores how women of God reflect His image through humble submission, gospel-centered conduct, and a deep focus on inner beauty—what Scripture calls precious in God's sight.

8.31.25 | THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT | PASTOR TODD SMITH

Many Christians confidently declare "Come Lord Jesus" without truly examining their spiritual preparedness for His return. While statistics reveal that over 1,500 Old Testament passages and 330 New Testament verses address Christ's Second Coming—with Jesus Himself mentioning it 21 times—the sobering reality is that religious leaders in Jesus' time completely missed His first coming despite clear prophetic indicators. This comprehensive teaching exposes the critical gap between casual expectation and genuine readiness, challenging serious believers to honestly assess their spiritual condition as we approach the end times. Pastor Todd delivers an authoritative examination of the five non-negotiable characteristics that distinguish truly prepared believers from those who will be caught unprepared. Drawing from extensive biblical analysis of Luke 12 and supporting scriptures, this episode provides essential knowledge for faithful Christians who refuse to be among those who miss the signs of the times. Rather than sensational speculation, this teaching offers scripturally-grounded insights into what genuine spiritual alertness looks like in practice, how to discern and walk in God's perfect will, and why proper alignment with divine purposes supersedes even family loyalties. These foundational principles aren't merely theological concepts—they're practical spiritual disciplines that serious believers must cultivate now, before the trumpet sounds. Every faithful Christian needs this essential framework for evaluating their true readiness and developing the characteristics that will distinguish the prepared from the unprepared in the last days.

In today's episode, Pastor Todd shares from our Sunday morning service (8/17/25) about the way oppressive spirits operate and how we as believers are to respond to them. Things will try and come against you, no matter who you are. However, as believers we have the AUTHORITY of Jesus on the inside of us and do not have to bend and bow to these oppressive spirits.

How Do I Find God's Peace? To help support this broadcast, please go to www.pastortodd.org In a world filled with anxiety, uncertainty, and constant noise, so many people are asking the same question: How do I find God's peace? The Bible makes it clear that true peace doesn't come from circumstances or the world—it comes from Jesus Himself. In today's broadcast, Pastor Todd unpacks powerful scriptures that show how we can experience the kind of peace that passes all understanding, the peace that guards our hearts and minds through Christ. You'll learn why peace begins with reconciliation to God, how prayer and trust unlock His presence in the middle of life's storms, and why obedience and surrender open the door to lasting peace. This is a message that will encourage, equip, and remind you that God has already made a way for you to walk in peace no matter what you're facing. Don't miss this important broadcast!

August 24th, 2025 | Fortify | 1 Corinthians 16:13-14In this bold message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues the Fortify series with a deep dive into what it truly means to "act like men." In a culture that's confused about masculinity, Pastor Todd brings clarity through Scripture, calling men to embrace biblical manhood rooted in responsibility, strength, humility, and love.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we explore four key commands that define godly manhood: Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be strong, and let all you do be done in love. This message isn't just for men—it's for women who want to pray for their husbands, raise godly sons, and recognize the traits of a man worth marrying.This isn't a call to passivity or domination—it's a call to Christlike leadership. Men who follow Jesus don't just flex muscles—they carry burdens, lead with integrity, and love sacrificially.It's time to stop settling for cultural manhood and start pursuing the kind of strength that changes generations.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠
