How do your reactions shape the way others see your faith? In this episode of Reactions Speak Louder, we explore what it means to trust God in the moments that test us most.

Listen in and be encouraged to live in a way that reflects something greater than yourself.

Our reactions reveal more about us than we might think. In this message, we begin a new series exploring what it means to respond in unexpected ways—underreacting with grace instead of overreacting in frustration. Jesus shows us that even the smallest reaction can become an opportunity to point others toward Him.

Tune in and be challenged to rethink how you respond in everyday life.

We all long to belong. God designed us for community, and both Scripture and modern
research affirm that the people we walk with shape the people we become. Solomon
wrote, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools su8ers harm” (Proverbs 13:20). Science now echoes this truth: our proximity to others directly influences our choices, habits, and even our long-term well-being.
David’s greatest failure came when he isolated himself and stayed behind in Jerusalem
instead of being with his men (2 Samuel 11:1). Imagine how diGerent his story might have
been if he had spent more evenings with Nathan. Healthy friendships don’t just happen —
they’re created when we intentionally place ourselves in environments like groups and
serving teams where wise, godly friendships can grow.

Prioritizing the needs of a community of people above ourselves moves us toward the interdependence we need.

In the beginning, there was a problem mentioned even before the first sin was committed. And it’s a problem that still gets in the way of developing thriving friendships.

Even when our words are accidental, they can still hurt someone.

The source of words determines the weight of them. Remember who you are and what you represent to the person on the other side of you.

We’ve all heard the adage that actions speak louder than words. But the words we’ve heard have shaped us and the words we speak have the power to shape others. And some words weigh more than others.

One of two powerful forces helps guide us. For you, which one is it?

We all need help, and there is a way to get access to the same helper Jesus relied on.
