Jesus talked about a faith that can "move mountains," but not even his disciples were able to have this faith; at least not at first. 

Scripture says that a boy was tormented by seizures, and his dad asked Jesus's disciples for help. They tried, but they couldn't help the boy. Desperate, the dad brought his child to Jesus, and in a moment, Jesus rebuked the evil spirit that was tormenting the boy. The disciples were puzzled. How come they couldn't do anything about it? It seemed so easy to Jesus!

Why would the same Jesus that said the problem was "little faith" say that the secret to moving mountains is faith the size of a mustard seed–a really small seed?

Pastor JD explores this Scripture and brings context to the effect a Christian life can have on a person through Faith in God.

Have you ever felt like you should be grateful for something, but you really weren't? There is a disconnect between what you know you should be grateful for and how you actually feel. What do you do? To you pretend? Do you say it until it's true? How can you overcome this dissonance?

Pastors JD and Alini Müller sit down for a conversation on the root of gratitude and belonging.

There is a common thread that runs across our major decisions and engagements. It's a vital part of belonging. This thread everyone of us desires in relationships, health, and our careers. This common thread is longevity.

When it comes to the good things in life, we all desire longevity. 

For meaningful things are going to last in our lives we need true belonging.

In this message Pastor JD explores the definition and importance of true belonging when it comes to our relationship with others, and more importantly, our relationship with God.

Everything that is alive on earth maintains its life through life-giving partnerships. From trees, to vegetation, to animals and humans. We are all interconnected.

What does that mean to you? How does that affect your life and your perspective?

We are told that maturity means to "make it on our own". But that undermines a most vital element in our growth and development: life-giving partnerships.

In this message, Pastor JD will encourage you to change your perspective, and embrace true belonging.

How would you define success?

Achievement? Relationships? Growth? Status? Stability?

We all chase success to some degree, but sometimes we forget that success is not the ultimate goal of any of us. Success is a means to an end, and I will venture to say that your end is belonging. That's what we all ultimately want. 

In this message, Pastor JD will share the "Master's Secret" of true belonging.

We hope this message blesses you and helps you live better!

What if God guaranteed what He promised?

Shame. How do you get rid of it?

Most of us carry it so close, hide it so well, no one knows it's there. But it is, reframing our mind, accusing our soul, and filtering our decision making. 

How to get rid of shame? That's the topic of today's message. 

We hope this message blesses you and helps you live better.
