Walk This Way — Pastor Jason Burns The biggest spiritual battles are often won or lost in the small, unseen decisions we make each day. Discover how walking with the Holy Spirit transforms our desires, shapes our character, and produces fruit that only God can grow.

The Jordan was at flood stage when the priests waded in — before the water moved. Obedience came first. Click here to read the sermon “Walk This Way” Joshua 3:1–4; 3:14–16; 4:18–24 It's such a treat to be back with you. My name is Rob Stone. If we haven't met yet, it's so good to be with you. This is my second of what will be three weeks preaching for you here at Yates Baptist Church. And we are in a series we started last week called Onward: Moving Toward the Uncharted. Onward, moving toward the uncharted. And of course we're walking through the book of Joshua. The book of Joshua is one of my favorite books of the Bible, because Joshua finds a people in the middle of a dramatic change, a dramatic shift. The people of Israel, if you follow from the book of Exodus, have been set free from their captivity, from their slavery in Egypt, but they have spent the better part of the last forty years wandering in the wilderness. They essentially lose a generation in the wilderness. But God is raising up a generation that's going to lead them into the promised land. So after the death of Moses, Joshua finds himself tasked with leading the people of Israel into the promised land. They're going to cross the Jordan River and make their way into Israel. I'm very excited about where we are today, because last week we discovered the what. Last week, we discovered the what: that God has called Joshua to lead the people into the promised land, and He made a lot of promises. We saw that Joshua will only inherit what he inhabits — Joshua will only inherit what he inhabits, which is another way of saying God's promise to Joshua is that every place the sole of his foot treads, God has given to him (cf. Josh 1:3, HCSB) [see "A New Dawn, A New Day," July 12, 2026]. And we talked about last week how that can be a promise, but it's not just a promise — it's a principle. And a principle is a promise that is user dependent. It's a promise that depends on whether or not you live it out, because God's promise to Joshua is a promise that depends on Joshua's action. Joshua has to take steps of obedience in order to receive the blessing that comes with God's promise. But if Joshua keeps his feet planted exactly as they are, if Joshua is not willing to be obedient, then the promise becomes a curse for him. Joshua has to take action. Joshua has to take steps of obedience. And I believe that is what God has called us to as well, because as we talked about last week, I believe God has not brought us this far just to bring us this far. There is more to go. There is further to go. And I believe, by God's power, that the best is yet to come. So before we jump into the second week of the series — looking not just at the what, but the how — because the what is great, but a what without a how leaves us all feeling a little confused. It leaves us lacking clarity, especially if we don't know how to get where we're going. Now, we live in 2026, and I have my phone right here — it has some points of the sermon that I'm going to cover. How many of you have your phones with you? Raise your hand if you have your phone, lift it up high. There we go. We are a smartphone people. Okay, let's try it this way — just for my own interest: if you're an iPhone user, raise your hand. Okay. If you use anything else, raise your hand. [Laughter.] Look at you. Come on now — a bunch of green dots showing up in the group texts. "So-and-so reacted to a photo." We can see it now, all you green-dot people, you non-iPhone users in the room. But here's why I mention it: a smartphone is beautiful, especially if you are lost. And really, with a smartphone, how could you ever truly be lost? But I want you to journey with me back to 2001 — December of 2001. I'm a college student at the University of Central Florida. I'm from Florida, by the way — I don't know if there are any other Floridians in the room. Come on, Sunshine State, look how far we've made it. I was a junior at the University of Central Florida, working with a campus ministry called Campus Crusade for Christ that now goes by Cru. Cru has Christmas Conference every year — our big regional conference. Because I was a student in the Southeast, Christmas Conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia. And there are lots of things to love about Atlanta, Georgia — Waffle House, Chick-fil-A, it's all wonderful, I appreciate it. But here's the thing I can't stand about Atlanta: driving in Atlanta is awful. Amen? Around the city of Atlanta is a circle, the perimeter, if you will, and it is a ten-lane highway that just forms a circle all around the city. And depending on where you get on this circle, the directions you're following make no sense, because there's an inner circle and an outer circle. Here I am in Atlanta before the invention of the iPhone. I want you to remember back in the days of a road atlas — you're pulling it out, maybe you've got it hidden in a map somewhere, and you pull that map out and try to figure out, as you're driving, where you're going. None of it is safe. We're going to our service project — how many of our youth went to Passport, by the way? Raise your hand if you were at Passport last week. Come on, vámonos, I love it, great job. So here's the thing: we're doing our service project as part of this conference, and we're headed into a place in Atlanta, and my friend who lives in Atlanta is like, "I know exactly how to get there." And then he proceeded to tell me — and if you don't live in a city, someone telling you the roads and the various points along the way isn't really helpful. So I do what dumb young men do: I go, "Got it. Gotcha. Totally see you there." And I take off, and I'm getting on I-285, this giant thing that goes around the city. I hop on I-285, and I know I need to go two exits west of where we are on the northern part of this highway. So I follow the sign that says west. But the west sign takes me in the opposite direction, because it's telling me where I'm ultimately trying to end up — not where I'm immediately going. Again, a highway that makes no sense. The fine folks of Atlanta, Georgia need to get their stuff figured out. But I turn the wrong way, and now I spend the next hour just looping around the city, seeing all the sights all the way around Atlanta. Finally, someone in my car has a cell phone — I don't own a cell phone yet, this is 2001, this is pre–cell phone days for me. Someone in the car has a cell phone: "Where are you all at?" "We're still on 285, looking for the exit." We eventually make our way there. This time, as we're going back to the hotel from the service project, I didn't just listen to what my friend told me when he told me how to get back. I said, "You go first, and I will follow you." We got back to the hotel in about five minutes. Now, there are wives in the room being very sweet about not elbowing your husbands right now — I appreciate that, I'm grateful for that — because if I had been married at that point, my wife would have said, "Hey, you don't know where you're going. How about you follow someone who does?" You don't know how to get there — why don't you follow someone who knows how to get there? I knew the what. I knew what we were going to do. I just didn't know how to get there, and I thought I could just figure it out. And of course I didn't, because you can't just figure out everything. Sometimes the only way to learn is to watch someone who knows what they're doing, who knows how to do it. And so here we are in week two of the sermon series Onward, with a message I have titled "Walk This Way." Because just like Joshua and the people of Israel, and just like us today, we need to know not just where we're going — we need to know how to get there. And so this is what we find as we open up Joshua chapter three and Joshua chapter four. We're not going to read the entirety of the two chapters — we're going to read some selections of Scripture from these two chapters. But beginning in Joshua chapter three, verse one — this is Joshua 3:1–4: Joshua started early the next morning and left the Acacia Grove with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan and stayed there before crossing. After three days the officers went through the camp and commanded the people, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God carried by the Levitical priests, you must break camp and follow it. But keep a distance of about a thousand yards between yourselves and the ark. Don't go near it, so that you can see the way to go, for you haven't traveled this way before." (Josh 3:1–4, HCSB) I love how practical this section of Scripture is. It's this beautiful thing — it's Joshua saying, "Hey, we're going to follow the ark. We're going to follow God. We're going to follow God where He is leading us, but we're going to let God lead the way. We're not going to jump ahead of God," because sometimes in our lives we try to jump ahead of God's will, and we find ourselves not in the place we wanted to be. Amen? Sometimes we go, "I know what God wants for me," and we find ourselves in a place we never thought we would be — in a circumstance we never imagined we would be in. And here's Joshua, and he's saying, "Come on, we're all going to be ready. You're going to get ready to follow." And the reason you're going to follow is because you don't know where we're going — you've never been there before. There's a French philosopher who said these beautiful words: "If we want to reach new lands, we must be willing to lose sight of the shore.”1 I don't know how many of you have maybe been out on a cruise ship — have you been out on the water? There's something terrifying that happens when you get out in the ocean, and suddenly you look around, three hundred sixty degrees, everywhere you look all you see is horizon. That's a scary spot to be, because if all you have is horizon, you don't really know where you are, you don't really know where you're going. For Joshua, he's saying, look, so much of our wandering, so much of the place we've been stuck in for the last forty years, is because we didn't know how to get out of it. We didn't know how to take the next step. We didn't know how to move forward. And here's Joshua saying: we're going to follow God, and God is going to lead us into a new place. But in order for God to lead us to a new place, we're going to have to walk in a brand-new way. We're going to have to go to a place we have never been before. To put it another way: if we want to reach new lands, we must follow a new path. Church, I want you to hear me when I say this. If we want to reach new lands, if we want to be in a new place, if we want to go where we have not been before, then we're going to have to take a brand-new path to get there. Because all the paths that are familiar to us, all the ways that are known to us, all the directions we are comfortable with, just lead us to the places we've already been. If we want to reach new lands, we've got to follow a brand-new path. We've got to be willing to do some new things and move in a new direction. And if we're honest — new is scary. New is scary, and let's be real: I'm in my forties now, I have three kids, I have teenagers at home. New isn't just scary — new feels sometimes a little irresponsible, because I've got people who are counting on me, I've got kids I'm trying to pay for college for. The older I get, new feels like more and more of a risk. So the older we get, new seems to be a bridge just too far. But God didn't bring us this far just to take us this far — which means it's time for us to get used to new. It's time to get comfortable with new. It's time to get comfortable with the risks that come with new, because we want to reach new lands, and you only reach new lands by following a new path. We're going to skip ahead to verse fourteen — this is Joshua 3:14–16: When the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of the people. Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge and the water flowing downstream stood still, rising up in a mass that extended as far as Adam, a city next to Zarethan. (Josh 3:14–16, HCSB) I want you to track what's happening here. There has been a command from Joshua to the officers for what all the people are going to do: hey, we're going to follow a new path, we're going to go a new direction. And the people are being obedient — the people are saying, "I'm ready, we are ready." They have broken camp. The people are leading. The priests carrying the ark step their feet in the water, and the water stops. Now, here's something to know: the Jordan River is not a large river. If you look at pictures of the Jordan, through most of the year it's about the width of this stage — so crossing it through most of the year is not really a huge deal, especially this far south, because once you get this far south, this is the lowest-lying region on planet Earth. The Dead Sea is just south of here. But it's flood season, so we're not talking about just crossing the stage — we're talking about a flood. In October 2024 (sic) [Hurricane Helene's catastrophic inland flooding in Western North Carolina occurred primarily September 26–28], Hurricane Helene came through Western Carolina and dumped an amount of rain the region had not seen in nearly a hundred years. What happened to all the rivers there? They immediately flooded. The problem is, in any mountainous terrain, you build roads next to rivers, because rivers do what water often does — they follow the path of least resistance. If you're engineering roads, you also want to follow the path of least resistance; otherwise, you're going to spend tons of time, energy, and resources cutting roads into a mountain. So when these rivers flooded, it didn't just flood the rivers — it flooded the roads, it flooded the homes, it flooded the businesses. Suddenly you have this whole area of Western North Carolina destroyed essentially by rain, by floodwaters overflowing these rivers, and you become acutely aware of how powerful floodwaters can be. So we get this detail — this is what the Jordan River was like as they're getting ready to cross. Now again, we've got to be comfortable with new, we've got to get comfortable with the risk associated with new, because let's be honest — if any of us was part of the team with Joshua that day, wouldn't we go, "You know, Joshua, if we could just chill here for another three months, this crossing would be much easier. Joshua, you've picked the worst time to do this — these are flooding rivers. We've waited forty years to do this; another two weeks ain't gonna kill us." That's what, let's be honest, that's what we would say if we were with Joshua that day. But we get this detail, and the reason we get this detail is to understand the power of what comes next: "But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge, and the water flowing downstream stood still." Now, what does this immediately remind you of? [A member of the congregation responds.] Q: And what's your name? A: Gail. Y'all give it up for Gail — Gail had the right answer, come on, that's right. This is the same group of people who, forty years earlier, was fleeing Pharaoh and the Egyptian army, and they get to the Red Sea, and what happens when they get to the water (cf. Exod 14:21–22)? Here they are — an entire race of people, an entire ethnicity of people, fleeing their enslavers, and they get to a body of water they cannot cross. It looks like it's over. It looks like this is the end of the story. Surely the people in that moment are terrified for their lives. But God tells Moses to stand up, and what happens to the waters? They part. Now here we are, forty years later, Joshua leading the people to cross the river — a much smaller body of water, but still a significant body of water in flood season — and the priests are carrying the ark, and their feet hit the water, and when their feet hit the water, a wall of water stands. I don't know about you, but when I am afraid, nothing comforts me faster than remembering how God has rescued me before. The older we get, the harder new becomes. But the older we get, the more testimony we have in our rearview mirror. The older we get, the more we have seen, time and time again: "I didn't think there was a way out. I didn't think there was any hope in this situation, and God came through." How many of us — the greatest testimony of our life is something we would have never asked for, something we would have dreaded if someone said it was coming, and yet we can look back on that season and go, "God, thank You. Thank You for bringing me to it, and thank You for bringing me through it. God, thank You, because now I know what You're capable of." There's this beautiful thing that happens before the people step into a new land, before they take this new path to their new destination, to their new future: before any of that happens, God reminds them of His past faithfulness. Church, we need our memories of God's past faithfulness. We need our memories of God's past faithfulness. We need that. [Addressing the media team.] This is the time for that slide to move on — thank you. We need our memories of God's past faithfulness. We need it. Every one of those stories you have — those stories we call your testimony — every one of those stories of God's past faithfulness, we need them. We need every one. We need the stories from the previous generations of God's faithfulness. If you were lucky enough to grow up with a mother and a father who worship the Lord, then you have generations of past faithfulness to talk about. Some of you in this room know what it's like to have generations and generations go before you, and you can tell the story of God's past faithfulness to those generations. And when you hear the stories of God's past faithfulness, it should not lead you to be afraid. It should not leave you suddenly more conservative in your decision-making. The more you are aware of God's past faithfulness, the more boldness you should have to take steps down a new path to a brand-new destination — because God has proven it time and time again, in your own story, in the story of your family before you, in the story of the generations that have gone before. God has been faithful time and time again, and He's not about to quit right now. He's not about to stop! This should be so encouraging for us, church, because seeing this story is the reminder that God is always true to His promise — He is faithful yesterday, today, and forever. So church, when we find ourselves at a crossroads where we've got to pick — hey, are we going to do the same thing we've always done and end up in the same place we've always been, or are we going to do something brand new? Are we going to have enough faith to take a new path to a new destination? If you're struggling with that today, if you're like me, if you're someone who — the older you get, the more you struggle with that kind of decision — I want to encourage you to take a moment today and just remember God's past faithfulness. I want you to remember the ways God showed up time and time again when people were willing to trust Him enough to follow a new path to a new destination. Joshua and the people of Israel, the twelve tribes of Israel, make their way across the river. Historians disagree on the predicted size of the nation of Israel at this time, but somewhere between eighty thousand and two hundred fifty thousand people is what we're talking about, and they have made the journey across the river. Now, moving across a river, especially when it's dry because the water has stopped, doesn't take forever — but when you've got that many people, it takes a while. It takes a while, and I wonder how many people got to the river, saw the water standing still, and still rushed, still ran — "Hey, it's been hours now, it was good for that tribe and that tribe, but I'd better get working fast, I'd better run my way across this river." The people of Israel make their way to the other side. And before they get out of the river entirely, Joshua orders each tribe to choose one person and send that person back to the riverbed to pull a rock out of the dry place they have crossed on. Joshua orders the people to go back, take twelve rocks, and bring those rocks to the west side of the river. They've crossed from the east side to the west side, and here they are on the west side, and they stack up these twelve stones as a monument. And the monument was not to an event. The monument was not to a thing that happened. The monument was about God's faithfulness. When we turn to Joshua 4:18–24, this is what we read: When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant came up from the middle of the Jordan and their feet stepped out onto solid ground, the waters of the Jordan resumed their course, flowing over all the banks as before. The people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and camped at Gilgal, on the eastern limits of Jericho. Then Joshua set up in Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan, and he said this to the Israelites: "In the future, when your children ask their fathers, 'What is the meaning of these stones?' you should tell your children, 'Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.' For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over. This is so that all the people of the earth may know that the Lord's hand is mighty, and so that you may always fear the Lord your God." (Josh 4:18–24, HCSB) I want to stop here for a second. Look at the Scripture — "This is so." Now, last week we opened up and talked about the what: it's God coming to Joshua — "Joshua, you're going to lead the people into the promised land, into the land I am giving them as an inheritance. You're going to do it, Joshua." There's the what. We started this week looking at the how: here's how we're going to do it. We don't know the way, so we're following God, and God is going to lead us on a new path to a brand-new land. So we've got the what and the how. But as Simon Sinek would say, the most important thing in your life is not the what or the how — the most important thing in your life is the why. Why are you being faithful? Why are you here in church this morning? Why do you give? Why do you sacrifice? Why do you do the right thing when no one is watching, when no one will ever know if you didn't? What's your why? I love that Joshua hears from the Lord — this is the why: "so that all the people of the earth may know that the Lord's hand is mighty, and so that you may always fear the Lord your God." There's a lie we can get sucked into if we're not careful — the lie that everything God has done in the Old Testament is about giving one ethnicity a place to call home. I want you to know that what God is doing in the Old Testament is so much bigger and so much greater than that, because what Joshua is doing is not about a people receiving this plot of land — it's about the whole earth knowing that the Lord's hand is mighty, and so that we may always have fear of the Lord our God, which is what Solomon will say is wisdom (cf. Prov 9:10, HCSB). God's why in getting a group of less than a quarter million people from one side of the river to the next, God's why in what He's going to do next week as we look at the Battle of Jericho, God's why in everything that happens in the rest of the Old Testament is the same: that all the earth may know the Lord and have wisdom, because the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. God's why is that the whole earth would know Him and have wisdom. I wonder today for us — we've got a called business meeting right after the church service. There's a lot going on at Yates Baptist Church, and let's be honest, I think there's still some confusion. But what I want to let you know is this: if we focus too much on this, we'll miss the whole story, we'll miss the bigger picture, we'll miss what God has come to do. And what I want to let you know is this: everything God has done in your life, everything God has done in this church, everything God has done in every church that has ever been, has been the same as God's why in Joshua chapter four — that the whole world would know Him and walk in wisdom. God's why is that the whole earth would know Him and walk in wisdom. And I wonder today, if that became your why — if that became your why, that everything you did was so that people could know God and walk in wisdom — how would it change things? How would it change your life? How would it change your choices? How would it change your community? How would God bring dead things to life all around you if we adopted that as our why? I love that Joshua gives the why to the people this way — he says, "In the future, when your children ask you." Do you see what's happening? It's Joshua saying, right now, I want you to prepare yourselves to remember, prepare yourselves to remember what God has done, because the day is coming where the next generation is going to ask you what this means, and you go, "I'm so glad you've asked" — because my why, my motivating factor in my whole life, has been to tell you this story. Let me tell you about my God, and let me give you all you need to begin walking in wisdom. So church, we've celebrated two weeks in a row of children and teenagers spending time in camp, spending formative time in community, hearing more about the God we worship. You've got to be a part of it — you've gotten to be a part of it already, in the last two weeks. In the future, when your children ask, you've been able to send your children to places where all they've done is learn about who God is and how to walk in wisdom. So church, today — are you prepared? Are you prepared to remember what God is about to do? Because the testimony of God's might and His work is not just a story for yesterday — that's a story for today. Tomorrow, you have no idea what God might do. You have no idea what God might do. So the question for each and every one of us: are we prepared to remember what God is about to do — what has not yet come to fruition, but which we see by faith and not by sight (cf. 2 Cor 5:7, HCSB)? I believe that's our why, and I believe if it becomes your why, it just might change the whole world. Let me pray for us. Heavenly Father, we love You, we praise You, God. We are people who have testimony, who have story after story of how You have been good, how You have been faithful, how You have delivered us when there seemed to be no other way. And so God, we are asking the same right now, and we are believing by faith, not by sight, that You are about to do a new thing. Would You give us the obedience? Would You give us the courage? Would You give us the boldness to follow You on a new path to a brand-new future? And would You prepare our hearts now to remember what You're about to do, so that as generations come, we can declare Your faithfulness to each and every generation. God, would You help us to live with a why like Yours, like Joshua's? Would You help us to live with a why that says everything I do is so that the whole world will know Jesus and walk in the wisdom His Holy Spirit provides? Jesus, we pray this in Your name. Amen. Endnote 1 This is a summary of the French novelist and essayist André Gide's words as they appear in dialogue near the end of his novel Les Faux-monnayeurs (The Counterfeiters), spoken between the characters Édouard and Bernard. The standard English rendering, from Dorothy Bussy's translation, reads: "One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore." The French original reads: "On ne découvre pas de terre nouvelle sans consentir à perdre de vue, d'abord et longtemps, tout rivage." Works Cited Gide, André. Les Faux-monnayeurs.

In Walk This Way, we explore one of the clearest pictures of the Gospel found in Ephesians 2:1–10. Paul reminds us that we all begin in the same place—dead in our sin, unable to save ourselves or earn God's favor. But because of His rich mercy and great love, God stepped into our hopelessness and made us alive with Christ. Salvation is entirely a gift of grace, received through faith.This message unpacks three life-changing truths for every believer: We are Saved by Grace through Faith, Seated by Grace through Faith, and Shaped by Grace through Faith. Through Christ, we are not only forgiven but given a new identity, a new position, and a new purpose. We are raised with Him, seated with Him in victory, and formed into His workmanship to live lives that reflect His glory.The Gospel doesn't simply rescue us from our old life—it transforms the way we walk every day. Grace changes our identity, empowers our obedience, and sends us into the world as ambassadors of Christ. If you've ever wondered what it truly means to live the Christian life, this message is an invitation to stop striving, receive God's grace, and walk in the new life He has prepared for you.

Motion Church | Walk, Week 2: "Walk This Way... At a Different Pace" What does it look like to walk through life with both purpose and compassion — at the same time? Continuing the Walk series, this week picks up right where we left off with Jacob, who "wrestled with God and he didn't kill me." That encounter left him with a limp — and a completely different way of walking through life. "Jacob had an experience with God, and he walked differently after that experience." This week we dig into two seemingly opposite ideas: walking at a pace of purpose, and walking at a pace of compassion. Can you really hold both? Looking at Jesus and the woman with the issue of blood, the answer is yes — Jesus was fully on mission, yet "he was walking at a pace of compassion," stopping in the middle of a crowd for the one person who needed him. On purpose: "Your purpose is found in the person who was willing to give his life up for you on the cross and then expects you to go and do the same." Walking out that purpose isn't complicated — it's about living a life that honors God, as Romans 12 puts it, presenting your life as "a living and holy sacrifice... which is your spiritual service of worship." As Paul writes in Ephesians 4, we're called to "walk worthy of the calling with which you were called." On compassion: that limp Jacob carried wasn't for show — "he didn't limp because it was stylistic… he limped because he was hurt." And that's the point. Our own limp — our past, our pain, the moment God met us and changed everything — isn't meant to make us look down on people still walking where we used to walk. Instead, "your limp is a reminder of where you've been, and that you should have compassion for people who are walking like you used to walk." Also in this episode: a celebration of what God's been doing at Motion Church — Palm Sunday, Easter, and 23 baptisms in one week. "Can we never take that lightly?" So — let's walk this way: at a pace of passion, and a pace of purpose, simultaneously. "At the end of the day, people are our mission."

Sermon, 05/10/2026: Walk This Way... Prepared By Peace

Teacher: Kelin JonesSeries: Walk This Way: The Book of Ephesians

Darryl "DMC" McDaniels teams with Public Enemy alumni Brian Hardgroove and DJ Johnny Juice to form the new hip-hop supergroup FREEDOM, dropping their new single "I'm On Your Side" tomorrow. They also praise each other's greatest hits from Run-DMC's "It's Like That," "Rock Box," "King of Rock," "It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way" to Public Enemy's "Rebel Without a Pause," "Bring the Noise," "Don't Believe the Hype," "Fight the Power" and "Shut Em Down." (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

The legend himself Jack Douglas (1945-2026) shares stories from five decades of rock history — from producing John Lennon's final album to the memories Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, The Who, and his recent production of Silverplanes. Topics Include: Jack Douglas joins Nate from a snowy driveway, cigar in hand. Silverplanes' debut album Airbus is finally releasing after years of delays. Jack met Silverplanes' Aaron Smart through his college-age son. Aaron turned out to own the Sunset Boulevard studio Jack had worked in. Jeff Emerick mixed the album shortly before his sudden death in 2018. The pandemic added two more years of delay to the release. Jack and Aaron are now label partners with New York real estate billionaire Douglas Durst. Their label operates 50/50 with artists — no standard royalty deals. Signed artists include Robin Taylor Zander and the Detroit Youth Choir. Jack builds songs from a single acoustic guitar performance first. Aerosmith was different — built from the band groove up, lyrics last. Walk This Way had no lyric until a Young Frankenstein gag unlocked it. Jack started his career as a TV composer while janitoring at Record Plant. He worked on sessions that became The Who's Who's Next. Kit Lambert and Keith Moon were both, politely, out of their minds. Jack survived eccentric clients by being reliably sober and crazy simultaneously. John Lennon was the easiest artist Jack ever worked with. John would say: "I'm the artist, you're the producer — let's work like that." Jack engineered Imagine and stayed close to Lennon through the Lost Weekend years. He was in and out of the Fame sessions with Lennon and Bowie. John told Bowie: "I'm writing you the best hit you'll ever have." John knew about — and liked — Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together." George Martin gave Jack a flat in Kensington and a Morgan sportscar. Jack helped produce Ringo's "Grow Old With Me," hiding Here Comes the Sun in the strings. Double Fantasy was secretly recorded at Hit Factory, too far west for fans. John wanted a middle-of-the-road record aimed at people aged 28 to 40. Earl Slick was kept from rehearsals deliberately — a wildcard for fresh solos. Rick Nielsen discovered John's Shea Stadium Rickenbacker with the setlist still taped on. Rick later gifted John a custom all-white Rickenbacker, model 001, never cashed his check. Cheap Trick's "I'm Losing You" session was thrilling but too edgy for the album. Jack hid microphones throughout the sessions, gifting John cassettes on his birthday. Jack destroyed the tape of the last day — John had sworn him to secrecy. After John's murder, Jack and Yoko listened to vault tapes alone until dawn. Yoko later sued Jack; Phil Spector's incoherent testimony and a wig mishap followed. Jann Wenner called Jack a nobody — until Jack's lawyer read Wenner's own book aloud. The jury was out ten minutes. Jack won millions. The 2010 Stripped Down version was mixed in the exact same Record Plant room. Live at Budokan was actually Osaka — Budokan tapes were too poorly recorded. Jack rebuilt the Osaka drum kit using speaker-driven bass frequencies and filtered signals. Aerosmith's Live Bootleg was sent back to Sony unchanged after Jack faked a remix session.

May 10, 2026 — This Morning Senior Pastor Rob Ginter preached a sermon “Don’t Walk This Way” Ephesians 4: 17-24

Teacher: Ken DillardSeries: Walk This Way: The Book of Ephesians

You may think you're being a good Christian because you're trying to imitate God. But are you doing it because you adore him? In this message from the “Love Incorruptible” series, Pastor J.D. shows us why, when we experience the beauty of the gospel, we are compelled to walk in love, light, and wisdom—not in order to become a child of God but because as his beloved children, we can't help but want to be like him.

Sermon, 05/03/2026: Walk This Way...Credited As Righteousness

Teacher: Ken DillardSeries: Walk This Way: The Book of Ephesians

Jesus came to bring freedom to the oppressed, and the life He offers is not a sprint but a daily walk of faith where we are continually shaped and restored as we follow Him. Pastor Dino Rizzo reminds us that when we walk in His Spirit, stay aware of the hurting around us, and embrace our unique calling, God prepares and sends us through the process.

In this sermon series Level up Pastors encourages us to level up our walk with God.
