In this first message of our Christmas series Why So Merry?, we look at Mary’s moment in Luke 1 when she felt confused and disturbed. Christmas is full of lights, food, movies, and all the things we enjoy, but it is also full of real life. Some are celebrating while others are carrying grief, tension, anxiety, or unanswered questions. Pastor Josh shows how Mary teaches us to respond to God instead of reacting to everything around us. Even when life feels messy or unclear, God is present and moving.

So many people are carrying silent questions in their hearts and hoping someone can help them sort it out. In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, we sit down to answer the real questions you sent in. These are not surface level questions. These are the ones about mentorship, self worth, loving yourself, parenting through depression, navigating ultimatums, and figuring out the line between faith and wisdom. It gets honest fast, it gets deep fast, and yet it stays grounded in the kind of hope only Jesus brings.

This Sunday at Church on the Rock, we step back into an honest and life-giving conversation between Lead Pastor Josh Hersey and Founding Pastor Tom Outley. Last week we looked at how the church began, and today we focus on something just as important, the heart Pastor Tom carried for the next generation. Pastor Josh shares how Pastor Tom saw potential long before anyone else did and how he created space for young leaders to learn, grow, and discover their calling. The stories are real, personal, and full of the kind of wisdom that comes from decades of serving the Lord with a willing heart.

This conversation dives deep into one of the most uncomfortable and most important parts of discipleship. We get gut honest about generosity, talk through what the Bible actually says about tithing and giving, and unpack why money has such a strong pull on our hearts. You will hear practical stories, real teaching, and the kind of clarity that is hard to give on a Sunday morning. We walk through Malachi 3, Matthew 6, and the difference between returning our tithe and offering our generosity, while also breaking down the misconceptions that keep people stuck.

What happens when a Sunday sermon turns into a sit down conversation between a Lead Pastor and the man who started it all? Today’s service at Church on the Rock looks a little different in the best way. Join Lead Pastor Josh Hersey and Founding Pastor Tom Outley for a powerful and personal conversation filmed right from our podcast studio. Pastor Tom shares his raw salvation story, the miracles behind how Church on the Rock began, and the quiet steps of obedience that shaped thirty three years of ministry. You will hear about barroom days, radical transformation, revivals, deliverance, the early Bible studies that sparked a church, and the faith journey that carried us from a crowded living room to our current property. It is history told through testimony, humor, grit, and the unmistakable faithfulness of God.

This conversation is more than a look back. It is an invitation to recognize the same God working in your story today. Whether you are new to Church on the Rock or have been part of the family for years, this episode will ground you in the legacy we stand on and inspire you to keep taking steps toward the will of God for your life. Pastor Josh and Pastor Tom talk about hearing God’s voice, resisting temptation, finding mentors, walking with humility, and trusting God when the road ahead feels bigger than you are. Settle in, open your heart, and let God meet you in the testimony of how our church began.

Finding a church is one of the biggest spiritual decisions you can make. It’s not just about where the coffee is good or the worship feels right, but where God is calling you to plant your life and your family. In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Trevor and Pastor Josh talk about what it really means to find and follow the mission of a church instead of shopping for one that fits your preferences.

They unpack how to know when it’s time to stay or move on, what spiritual order looks like, and how healthy authority helps us grow in faith. If you’ve ever wondered where you belong or how to know when God is calling you to submit and serve, this one’s for you.

When we talk about generosity, it’s never just about money. It’s about trust. In this message, Pastor Josh teaches how returning the tithe and giving offerings are not transactions but transformations. We don’t give to get; we give because everything already belongs to God. Psalm 24 says, “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” When we see ourselves not as owners but as stewards, it changes how we live, how we lead, and how we love.

This final message in the Lead Me series calls us to walk generously, trusting God with what we have and believing His way is always better than ours. Whether you’re stepping into tithing for the first time or being stretched to give above and beyond, this is a moment to let faith lead you forward. God’s will is good, His path is firm footing, and His promise is sure: when we return to Him what is His, there will always be bread in His house and stories of changed lives to tell.

If you have ever felt the tension of doing what God asks when it does not make sense, or if you have wondered whether the cost of obedience is truly worth it, this conversation will speak to you. You will see that the road of humility and faith always leads to life, and that even the small acts of obedience you think no one sees are building something eternal.

When Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” He wasn’t talking about money, He was talking about order. In this message, Pastor Josh Hersey walks through what it means to walk orderly in every area of life, especially in how we handle what God’s given us. From Mark 12 to Matthew 6, from creation to Cain and Abel, we see a clear pattern: God is first, God went first, and God requires first. When we put Him in His rightful place, everything else finds its rhythm again.

This teaching challenges us to see giving not as a transaction but as transformation. It’s a conversation about trust, not totals. When we bring our first and our best to God, we’re declaring that our peace, security, and satisfaction don’t come from things, they come from Him. Whether you’re new to faith or have walked with Jesus for years, this message will stir your heart to reorder your life around what matters most.
