Daybreak Audio Vox

Paul sets a young woman free and ends up beaten and chained in a dungeon. At midnight, he and Silas are singing. 

In week three of Witness, Pastor Geoff walks through Acts 16 and asks a hard question: are you a slave to your circumstances, or a servant of Christ? Eric shares what happened when a Halloween party turned into a spiritual conversation, and Pastor Geoff gives a simple way to start your own.

Paul is mistaken for a god, then stoned, and then he gets up and goes back into the city. What drove Paul to go back? In week two of Witness on Daybreak Audio Vox, Pastor Geoff looks at Acts 14 and asks how much of our lives is led by conviction and how much by emotion. Along the way, staff member Tory Johnson shares how spiritual conversations became part of his everyday rhythm, Matt Lockett tells the story of a friend who shared Jesus with him in an Indiana cornfield, and Pastor Geoff invites us to say yes to an intentional spiritual conversation before November 29.

What kind of person drives toward the storm everyone else is driving away from? In week one of Witness, Pastor Geoff starts with storm chasers and asks what it would look like to be the one who goes in for someone else. Then he walks through Saul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus in Acts 9 - a man who knew the Scriptures inside and out, yet had to ask "Who are you, Lord?" - and shows the difference between knowing about God and knowing him.

Some things have to be buried before you can move forward. In week six of Obsession, Pastor Rachel follows Jacob back to Bethel in Genesis 35, where God calls him to bury his idols under an oak tree and keep the promise he made there. From phones and calendars to money, achievement, and control, we look at the everyday things that quietly take God's place, why we hold onto them, and what it looks like to grieve with hope, pour ourselves out in worship, and end a generational cycle.

Alone at the Jabbok, with his past waiting on the other side, Jacob wrestles with God and walks away with a limp and a new name. In week five of Obsession, Pastor Geoff looks at the most pivotal night in Jacob's life and what happens when we stop trying to manage our own outcomes and trust God with who we are and where our story is going.

Gas prices are up, everything costs more, and people are chasing any shortcut to get ahead - from online gambling to betting on anything. In week four of Obsession, Pastor Geoff continues through the life of Jacob and looks at his growing wealth in Genesis 30 and 31 to show the difference between trusting what we can gain for ourselves and trusting God to provide.

Obsession is a six-week series through the life of Jacob in Genesis - a story about what we chase, why we chase it, and what it costs us when we won't let it go.

Would you notice if a screen started replacing your real relationships? Pastor Geoff opens week three of Obsession with a live conversation with AI, then turns it into a bigger question - what happens when the things we chase (power, acceptance, significance, sex) start making our decisions for us? He walks through one of the messiest family stories in the Bible - Jacob, Laban, Leah, and Rachel in Genesis 29 and 30 - and lands on a choice every one of us has to make: the pain of obsession, or the pain of discipline that actually goes somewhere good.

We chase a lot of things - trends, collections, money, whatever promises to satisfy next. In week two of Obsession, Pastor Geoff picks up Jacob's story in Genesis 28: a man running for his life with a stone for a pillow, and a God who makes promises he hasn't earned. Along the way, Pastor Geoff asks what happens when we try to make a deal with a God who already has everything, and what it looks like to build a house in the middle of hardship.

It's World Impact Sunday at Daybreak - the one Sunday we stop and look at everywhere God is using this church, from a bag of food packed a few miles from here to a well going in on the other side of the world. 

Then Pastor Geoff pulls out a wall of Oreos and uses it to kick off a brand new series: Obsession. Starting in Genesis 25, we meet a man named Jacob whose whole story is a warning about what happens when we chase the wrong things - and a picture of what it looks like to finally have enough.

Aubrie Kimbrough has spent the last year on the road with Claim Your Campus, calling a generation of middle and high schoolers to show up and pray for their schools. But her own story with prayer didn't start with a movement - it started in sixth grade, alone in a hallway, praying by herself while nobody showed up. This week in Mix Tape, Aubrie shares what she's learned about running the race of faith with endurance: how to hydrate your soul, let God set the pace, and keep your eyes on Jesus as the prize - even when prayers go unanswered for years.
