What if your darkest valley is actually the birthplace of your greatest victory? In Part 5 of our powerful journey through Psalm 23, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a soul-stirring message that takes us deep into one of the most battlefield-ready verses in the Bible: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me…” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV). Drawing from personal stories and biblical depth, Pastor Travis brings to life the raw reality of valley seasons—places of heartbreak, loss, fear, and uncertainty—and reveals how God's presence, provision, preparation, and protection are most alive in those very moments. You'll walk through the ancient terrain of Wadi Qelt, the literal Valley of the Shadow of Death, and discover that valleys aren't destinations—they're passageways. This isn't just a sermon. It's a declaration for every weary soul: You're not stuck. You're not alone. You're being shaped for victory. From David slaying giants in the Valley of Elah, to dry bones rising in Ezekiel's vision, to Jesus calling Himself the Light that shatters shadows—this message will help you see that your valley is not the end. It's the beginning of your breakthrough. Stop cursing your valley. Start claiming your destiny. You are just passing through... and victory is waiting on the other side.

Have you ever felt so tired that even sleep can't fix it? A weariness that goes beyond your body, deep into your soul? This message is for every person carrying silent weight, fighting silent battles, and feeling like they're running on empty. In Part 2 of the Psalm 23 Collection, Pastor Travis Hearn preaches a word straight to the exhausted, overwhelmed, and soul-weary. It's not just that you're tired—it's that you're soul tired. But there's hope. There's healing. And there's rest—not the kind found in a nap or a vacation, but the kind only found in the presence of Jesus. Unpack Psalm 23:2 like never before: “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” This isn't poetry—it's a prescription. When your soul is collapsing under pressure, God doesn't push you harder—He gently leads you to peace. This message explores how God restores the exhausted, how He leads with purpose, patience, and presence, and why rest is one of the most spiritual things you can do. If you're in a cave season, hiding like Elijah, God isn't done with you. The cave is not your coffin—it's your classroom. Get ready to come out different. Refreshed. Redeemed. Restored. Because when the Shepherd leads you beside still waters—you're not just surviving... You're healing. You're hydrating. You're home.

Is AI taking over the craft of coding? Many engineers now face an identity crisis.In the episode, Distinguished Engineer Annie Vella discusses her research on AI's impact on software development. She explores the “software engineering identity crisis” as the craft of coding becomes automated. Annie warns that the seductive speed of AI tools can lead to lower quality and delivery instability, a trend supported by reports from DORA and GitClear. She also cautions that over-reliance on AI prevents engineers from gaining the hands-on experience needed for deep skill acquisition.Key topics discussed:How AI is reshaping the software development lifecycleThe software engineer's professional identity crisisThe real danger of over-relying on AI toolsHow to balance the seduction of speed with long-term qualityCrucial advice for junior engineers entering the industryWhy leaders must shift focus from speed to qualityThe idea of treating AI as a team member instead of just a tool  Timestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:32) AI Impact on Career and Software Engineering(00:07:00) The Future of AI-Driven Software Engineering(00:14:29) The Shift in the Role of Software Engineer(00:22:13) When Writing Code is Not the Bottleneck Anymore(00:32:04) The Danger of Over-Reliance on AI(00:38:51) The Software Engineering Identity Crisis(00:48:09) Advice for Junior Engineers in This Challenging Time(00:53:34) The Shift in the Role of Engineering Management(00:59:46) You Are Not Alone(01:00:50) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Annie Vella's BioAnnie Vella is a Distinguished Engineer at Westpac NZ with two decades of experience in software engineering and technical leadership across various industries and countries.Vella has returned to an engineering role after a period in management and is also a part-time Master's student at the University of Auckland, researching the impact of AI on software engineering.
