What if the very thing you’re trying to avoid is the thing that could change you the most?
In this message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown talks about how life’s storms — the setbacks, fears, and moments that feel out of control — often hold the key to growth. Through one of the most famous stories ever told, we see what it means to find courage when you’re scared, strength when you’re sinking, and peace when everything feels uncertain.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in life’s chaos, this message will help you see that you’re not alone — and that what looks like the end might actually be the beginning of something new.

What if you already have what you’ve been praying for?
In this message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown shares powerful moments and stories that challenge how we see scarcity, purpose, and gratitude. When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, it’s easy to think we’re missing something — time, money, clarity, peace. But what if what you already have is exactly what you need?
Through real stories of compassion, pain, and unexpected provision, this talk explores how perspective can turn “not enough” into abundance, and how giving, trust, and gratitude can change everything about how we live.

We love stories that tie up neatly — the music swells, the hero wins, the credits roll. But life doesn’t always play out like that. Sometimes things break, people disappoint, and endings don’t come with closure.
In this message, Pastor Fredo Ramos explores one of the most unsettling stories in history — a story full of regret, compromise, and pain. Through the lives of Herod, John the Baptist, and those left grieving, we discover uncomfortable but hopeful truths about our choices, our conscience, and what to do when the story doesn’t resolve the way we hoped.

Most of us spend our lives trying to stay in control — of our plans, emotions, and outcomes. But what if the key to a stronger, more centered life isn’t control… it’s surrender?
In this week’s talk, Melody Workman challenges the idea that winning always means getting your way. Through real-life wisdom and timeless principles, she shows how releasing control can create clarity, purpose, and a deeper sense of peace.

What if the small, unnoticed things in your life are actually the most powerful? In this message, Pastor Fredo Ramos explores how big change often starts in the smallest ways—like a mustard seed that eventually grows into a tree. Using stories, analogies, and even Pixar’s Up, you’ll discover why the little choices, daily habits, and seemingly insignificant moments may matter more than you think. If you’ve ever wondered where meaning and growth really come from, this message might just shift how you see your own life.

Pastor Claude Hickman returns with a message that asks a bold question: What’s the difference between a life that fades out and a life that multiplies 100x? Drawing from everyday experiences and practical lessons, Claude explores how distractions, shallow roots, and short-term comfort can hold us back from the life we’re meant to live.
This week’s talk is an invitation to stop settling for “good enough” and start building something that lasts—something far bigger than just us.

There’s more to Jesus than most people think—and it might not be what you expect.
This week, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown reveals three powerful but often-overlooked truths about Jesus: why his miracles didn’t always have the impact you'd expect, how he was more than just a teacher or prophet, and the kind of people he was most drawn to.
Whether you’re exploring faith, walking through doubt, or just curious—this message gives you space to reflect, ask better questions, and take a real look at what Jesus was all about.

Ever had that moment where you ask yourself, “Am I crazy? Is any of this real?” We all wrestle with questions—about life, meaning, and whether there’s more going on than what we see. Doubt isn’t a glitch in your system, it’s part of being human. In this video, we talk honestly about what to do when your expectations don’t match your reality, and how doubt might actually be pointing you toward something deeper.
