CLATV Outcomes

Dr. Tiffany Schatz of the Christian Medical and Dental Association addresses some sticky medical ethics issues such as the merging of human and animal DNA, plus how medically-assisted suicide is growing globally.  Where's the line between unnecessarily extending life (futile care) and actively assisting suicide or killing someone?  Plus, have we as parents and our society made kids sports activities something that compromises both their physical and mental health?  Robbie Gallaty, author of "Wait/Hear," encourages us amid our frenetic lives to be silent before God and listen more.

What if the very thing you've been going through is setting the stage for God to open doors you never thought possible?

WHEN YOUR PRAISE IS LOUDER THAN YOUR PAIN, DOORS WILL FLY OPEN IN YOUR FAVOR!

In this powerful third installment of the Season of Doors series, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez delivers a faith-igniting message from Acts 16, where Paul and Silas found themselves beaten, wounded, chained, and imprisoned—but refused to let their circumstances silence their praise!

At midnight, when everything around them seemed hopeless, they began to pray and sing hymns to God. And suddenly, heaven responded! An earthquake shook the prison's foundations, every door flew open, and every prisoner's chains fell off.

Their praise didn't follow their breakthrough. Their praise PRECEDED their breakthrough!

Through this powerful biblical account, Pastor Sam reveals that praise isn't about your circumstances, your emotions, or even your current condition. It's about knowing that Jesus Christ is worthy of worship, even in your darkest hour.

Discover how praising God in the middle of your pain can transform your perspective, how worshiping through your wounds can strengthen your faith, and why the shaking you're experiencing may be God disconnecting you from everything that has been holding you back.

GOD IS NOT SHAKING YOU—HE'S SHAKING EVERYTHING AROUND YOU TO SET YOU FREE!

But the revelation doesn't stop with open doors! When Paul and Silas praised God, everyone around them experienced freedom. Their testimony led the jailer and his entire household to salvation, proving that your praise has the power to impact more than just your own life.

Whether you're believing for a breakthrough in your health, finances, relationships, family, or spiritual walk, this message will challenge you to stop waiting for your circumstances to change before giving God glory.

Don't wait for the doors to open before you praise. PRAISE HIM UNTIL THE DOORS OPEN!

Your midnight hour is not the end of your story. Your wounds do not disqualify you from your calling. And your praise may become the testimony that leads someone else to freedom!

GET READY FOR SUDDENLY! GET READY FOR THE SHAKING! GET READY FOR OPEN DOORS!

Acts 16:22–34 — Paul and Silas worship in prison, an earthquake opens the doors, chains fall off, and the jailer's household receives salvation.

Acts 16:25–26 — Midnight praise precedes a sudden earthquake and supernatural freedom.

Acts 16:31 — Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.

Luke 7:47 — Great forgiveness produces great love.

Psalm 22:3 — God is enthroned upon the praises of His people.

Psalm 126:5–6 — Those who sow in tears will reap with joy.

Psalm 150:6 — Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Haggai 2:6–7 — God shakes the heavens and earth and fills His house with glory.

Romans 1:16 — The gospel is the power of God for salvation.

When Your Praise Is Louder Than Your Pain, Doors Fly Open! Paul and Silas were beaten, bleeding, and imprisoned, yet they refused to stop worshiping. Their physical circumstances didn't determine their spiritual response. Praise God even when your situation hasn't changed.

Your Worship Must Run Deeper Than Your Wounds! You don't have to wait until you're healed, restored, or delivered to worship. The depth of your worship can exceed the depth of your wounds because God's worthiness is greater than your suffering.

Praise Is Proof of Forgiveness, Harvest, and Life! Every time you praise, you testify that you've been forgiven through Jesus Christ, that the tears you've sown are not forgotten, and that you're still alive to giv

A leader's metrics can be strong and their mission moving forward while their soul quietly erodes underneath — and most leaders miss it until it becomes a crisis. This conversation with Mindy Caliguire, co-founder and CEO of Soul Care, unpacks why external success so often hides internal depletion, what the early warning signs actually look like, and what it means to lead from overflow instead of constantly recovering to baseline.

You'll Gain Insight On:

• The warning signs of soul depletion most leaders miss or ignore
• Why mission drive and soul care aren't meant to be opposing forces
• The difference between resting enough to function and leading from overflow
• A simple framework — a page, a person, a plan — for taking action

We're in week two of our Wayfinding series on discerning God's will, and this week we're talking about something I've been thinking about a lot lately, partly because I spent three days hiking alone in the Santa Cruz Mountains before stepping into this new season of ministry. We're talking about terrain, and what the mountains and valleys of your life are actually trying to teach you.

Here's the first thing I want us to hold onto: we should expect both. Psalm 126 gives us this soaring, almost disbelieving joy: "When the Lord restored our fortunes, we were like those who dreamed." And Psalm 13 gives us the raw lament, "How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?" Those two psalms sit just pages apart, and that's not an accident. That's the reality of life. Mountains and valleys, abundance and loss, seasons that surprise us with joy and seasons that bring us to our knees.

The question for those of us in a season of discernment is: what is the terrain trying to clarify? And here's what I've found to be true: when we're wandering, when a decision hasn't come, when the direction still isn't clear, it often means God is still purifying our destination. He's showing us all the other things we're quietly serving alongside Him.

Because here's the thing about discernment that I really need us to understand. Discernment isn't about choosing between right and wrong. That's just obedience. Discernment is about choosing between good things, and knowing which good thing points you most directly toward your highest calling, which is serving God wholeheartedly. When serving God becomes the actual destination, everything else, your career, your relationships, your money, your time, becomes a means to that end. Not the end itself. And the moment any of those things becomes an end in itself, it becomes an idol.

I know that's rigorous. I know it's uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable for me too. But this is where the terrain does its work, because it's only possible to hear from God clearly when we're willing to live in the reality of our actual condition. Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount with Blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are those who mourn, blessed are the meek. He's not describing a special category of people. He's describing all of us, and saying that the ones who experience my blessing are the ones willing to live in the truth of that.

So this week, the invitation is simple but not easy: listen. Listen to God through His Word, through wise counsel, through what He's already done in your life. And stay in the uncomfortable zone of waiting, knowing that God is good and His hands are full of abundance.

Reflection Questions

1. What season are you in right now, a mountain, a valley, or somewhere in between?
2. Are there any good things in your life that have quietly become conditions you've placed on following God?
3. What would it look like this week to listen to God more intentionally, through His Word, through counsel, through silence?
