You are not just a normal human being — you are a new creation, fused to the risen Christ. In this powerful message, Cecily Feldman shares from decades of ministry experience and personal breakthrough to unpack what it truly means to be united with Christ — and why that changes absolutely everything about how you live, work, relate, and face hardship.

In this episode, you'll discover:
• The difference between an Old Testament mindset (chasing the next conference or meeting for God's presence) and a post-resurrection mindset rooted in who you already are in Christ
• What it means to be a new creation — a new species of humanity, spiritually alive and cemented to the King of Kings by the Holy Spirit
• Why you are never alone and can never be separated from God's love — no matter what you're walking through
• How to hear God's voice and move in step with Him like a three-legged race — together, not solo
• How Paul's trials in 2 Corinthians reveal the secret to relying on resurrection power instead of your own strength

This message is for anyone who has ever felt distant from God, spiritually dry, or like faith is just something you do on Sunday. There is more — and it starts with knowing who you are.

Your wounds don't get to name you — and they never will. In this powerful message, Pete Campbell opens up about his own scars (yes, including a pretty gnarly saw accident) to remind us that the painful chapters of our lives were never meant to become the title of our story.

Drawing from Isaiah 43, here's what Pete unpacks in Wounded But Not Defined:

🔹 Wounds don't get to name you. Rejection, failure, abandonment — they all whisper lies. But God called you by name before He called you to anything else.

🔹 Wounds don't get to isolate you. God never promised a pain-free life. He promised something better — His presence through every fire and every flood.

🔹 Wounds don't get to stop you. God doesn't wait until your story is spotless to use you. He steps into the mess and says, you're still mine.

🔹 Wounds don't get the final say. Isaiah 43:18-19 says it plainly — God is already doing something new. Don't let yesterday's pain keep you from today's invitation.

If you've been carrying a wound no one can see, this message is for you. We'd love to walk with you in community — visit us at c3oc.com to find a Sunday service, connect with a group, and discover what it looks like to live healed, whole, and on purpose.

What does God actually measure when He looks at your life? Not your followers. Not your income. Not your title. In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Pringle unpacks the Parable of the Talents and challenges us to pursue the only words that will truly matter in the end: "Well done, good and faithful servant."

In "The Measure That Matters," Pastor Joseph walks through three defining qualities of a true disciple of Christ:

1. The Measure of Character — Goodness isn't about comfort or success. It's about being conformed into the likeness of Jesus, especially through the hard seasons. God doesn't waste your suffering — He redeems it.

2. The Measure of Stewardship — Every gift, relationship, opportunity, and resource has been entrusted to you by God. Faith that never moves is faith that's buried. Don't bury your talent — dig it up and put it to work for His kingdom.

3. The Measure of Lordship — Calling Jesus "Lord" means more than a Sunday confession. It means surrendering every area of your life — your marriage, finances, ambitions, and language — to the One who gave His life for yours.

This message will shift what you're living for and remind you that you are being shaped into someone right now — the question is, who?

Pastor Joseph Pringle unpacks Haggai 1:7-8, challenging us to examine whether we're building our own kingdom or God's. Through three movements, go up, bring wood, and build the house, he calls us to surrender our gifts, time, and energy to what truly matters. Scriptures: Haggai 1:2-8

True freedom in Christ isn't just a moment of deliverance, it's a transformation of how we think, speak, and see ourselves. Pastor Phil Pringle reveals how renewing your mind with God's Word is the key to lasting liberty. Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 3:17, John 8:31, John 8:36

Hearing God's Word is just the starting line. Pastor Joseph Pringle unpacks James 1 to show that real faith leaves visible evidence, in how we speak, how we treat people, and what shapes our values. The measure of our encounter with Scripture isn't what we remember, it's what remains. Scriptures: James 1:22, James 1:23-25, James 1:26-27, Romans 10:17, Romans 12:2

What does it actually mean to receive the Word of God? Not just hear it. Not just know it. But truly let it take root and transform your life from the inside out. In this message, Pastor Joseph Pringle unpacks James 1:19-21 and shows us that a faith that changes everything starts with a heart that's humble enough to actually receive it.

In this episode, you'll discover:

🎯 Why hearing and receiving are not the same thing — and why the condition of your heart determines whether God's Word actually lands in your life.

👂 How to create the conditions to hear God — the posture of being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger isn't just good relationship advice. It's the key to spiritual transformation.

🌱 What's blocking the Word from taking root — bitterness, pride, offense, and hidden compromise compete for the soil of your heart. James says: don't manage it, put it away.

💪 The power of the implanted Word — not the admired Word, not the memorized Word, but the Word that goes deep, takes root, and produces real fruit in your life.

This message is for anyone ready to stop consuming faith and start living it.

What happens when the church stops singing solo and starts singing in harmony? In this powerful message, Brandon Cole unpacks one of the most underrated forces in the Kingdom of God — unity. Not the kind that papers over differences, but the kind that brings together diverse voices, gifts, and personalities into something so beautiful it becomes a testament to the glory of God.

In this episode, you'll discover:

🌱 Your origin story starts in a garden — Genesis 2 reminds us that from the very beginning, God designed both shape and spirit to work together. A church without the breath of God is just a form. Don't settle for form.

🎶 Unity sounds like harmony, not a solo — Psalm 133 paints a stunning picture of what happens when brothers and sisters dwell together in agreement: anointing flows, refreshing comes, and God commands the blessing.

🙏 The "suddenly" moments are born in the "continually" seasons — Acts 1:14 shows us the disciples were continually united in prayer before the rushing wind of Acts 2 ever showed up. The breakthrough you're waiting for may be one consistent prayer meeting away.

🤝 Your gifting isn't just for you — The fruit of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, the overflow of life — all of it is meant to pour out onto the people around you.

🏙️ You've been placed with purpose — Like Adam in the garden, you didn't choose your city by accident. Orange County is your assignment. Work it. Watch over it. Cultivate it.

If this message stirred something in you, we would love to have you join us in person. Come experience the harmony for yourself. Find all the details at c3oc.com — we can't wait to worship with you.

What if prayer could be your gateway to heaven's power? In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Pringle reveals prayer as more than just talking to God—it's a supernatural gateway that connects earth to heaven and releases angelic activity on your behalf.

Discover how Jacob's ladder in Genesis shows us the mechanics of prayer, why private prayer with God builds unshakeable confidence, and how praying Scripture activates heaven's response in your life. Pastor Joseph teaches that when we pray God's Word, we become the prophets of our own lives, declaring His promises over our situations.

Key insights include: understanding prayer as a gateway between realms, the importance of knowing God through His Word, developing a personal history with God through consistent prayer, and practical ways to pray Scripture over your challenges. Whether you're facing giants or everyday struggles, this message will equip you to build the kind of prayer life that moves mountains.

Life has a way of hitting us with unexpected challenges that leave us completely overwhelmed. When you don't know what to do, God doesn't leave you helpless—He invites you to ask Him for wisdom.

In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Pringle explores how trials expose our need for divine wisdom and reveals three key truths: Ask God for wisdom—He gives generously without reproach to anyone who seeks Him. Turn supposing into faith—stop wavering and approach God with confident expectation. Stop living divided—a double-minded heart leads to an unstable life driven by circumstances rather than anchored in truth.

Drawing from David's example in the midst of overwhelming opposition, this message challenges us to seek first the kingdom of God and find our refuge in His presence. When enemies surround you and you feel completely overwhelmed, the house of God becomes your shelter where your head is lifted above every challenge.
