Episode 1

In this episode of the Connect the Kingdom podcast, we launch a new sermon series, Holy Ground, with a challenging question: What if the ordinary places of your life could become sacred? Drawing from the story of the burning bush, this message invites you to see how God meets us in unexpected places and calls us to claim ground we may have overlooked or given up.

You’ll hear a compelling call to stake out Holy Ground in your heart, home, and everyday life by drawing near to God and inviting Him into every space. If you're at all excited about expanding God's Kingdom in your life, this episode will stir your faith and encourage you to stake out Holy Ground for God.

What if the reason you’re craving more of God isn’t because He’s withholding—but because there’s no room left to pour? In this powerful, one-time message, guest speaker Chris Fox, Community Care Pastor at Connect Church, challenges us to pause, look back, and recognize God’s fingerprints all over our past year. Drawing from Scripture, story, and a vivid illustration you won’t forget, he reveals how remembering God’s faithfulness doesn’t create nostalgia—it ignites faith for what’s next.

This isn’t a New Year’s hype message, it’s a heart-level call to revival. It’s Time for Overflow confronts capped lives, full calendars, closed Bibles, and tight fists, and invites us to bring God empty jars with no lids. If you’re tired of spiritual leftovers and hungry for more of God’s presence, peace, and purpose, this episode will stir you to make room and expect overflow.

Episode 3

What if the Christmas story is hiding far more wonder than we’ve ever imagined? In this final episode of Best Kept Secret, we uncover how God didn’t just announce the birth of Jesus through angels and prophets, but He has written the story of His unfailing love in the Heavens. Who were the Magi really? Why were they willing to travel distant lands, bring such generous gifts, and why were they seeking this baby-King of the Jews? This episode will stretch your imagination, strengthen your faith, and leave you in awe of a God. Don’t miss the powerful conclusion to the series and discover why this truly is God’s best kept secret.

Episode 2:

What if your nativity has been lying to you? In Episode 2 of  Best Kept Secret, we uncover the hidden mysteries away in a manger.  Every detail of Jesus’ birth was a divine breadcrumb, quietly preaching the Gospel on the very first Christmas night.
This episode reveals the gift within the gift: Immanuel, God with us. If Christmas has ever felt familiar or predictable, this message will shift your perspective and restore the wonder. As told to the shepherds, once you see "the sign", you’ll never see the Christmas story the same way again.

Episode 1:

What if Christmas is more than a story you already know? What if it’s the greatest mystery ever hidden—on purpose? In Episode 1 of the Best Kept Secret series, Pastor Trent opens the map and shows how God has been leaving clues all along. From buried treasure stories to ancient prophecies, from “X marks the spot” to Christ Himself, this message reveals how heaven hid the truth in plain sight.

With staggering prophetic odds, hidden genealogies, and a secret Savior, this episode will stretch your wonder and deepen your awe. Why does God keep secrets? Who are they for—and who are they kept from? And how does Jesus stand at the center of it all?

Week 4: In this week’s episode we uncover a truth that’s both simple and deeply challenging: God has prepared the table… but are you missing the main dish? This message calls you to recognize how often you settle for “the food of our fancy” while the Bread of Life sits at the center of the table, waiting to satisfy you. You’ll hear why Jesus isn’t an add-on, a side item, or a spiritual appetizer—He is the main meal. The main thing. The very core of your existence.
Have you allowed convenience, busyness, and comfort to replace intimacy, dependence, and hunger for Jesus? This episode will stir you, challenge you, and remind you of the invitation set before you every single day: the Main Dish right in front of you.
