Our final episode features Abby Dias and Caleb Raby reflecting on what it means to follow Jesus through the valley. Suffering exposes what we trust, strips away our illusions of control, and forms us in ways comfort cannot. Yet the valley is not evidence that God has abandoned us. Jesus entered suffering Himself, meets us there, and uses even what we would never choose to make us more like Him. As we keep walking, asking, grieving, and trusting, we discover the deepest truth of God Has More: He is the more.

Vision Series: The Valley

September 27, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Psalm 23:4

In the final week of the God Has More vision series, RD McClenagan turns to the valley of suffering, grief, and loss, reminding us that hardship is not separate from the Christian life but often the place where what we truly believe about God is revealed. Drawing from Psalm 23, he emphasizes that our hope in the valley is not found in understanding every “why,” but in the promise that God is with us, a truth ultimately demonstrated through Jesus, who entered into our suffering and bore the cross for us. Though suffering can expose our lack of control and challenge the things we have built our identity upon, God does not waste the valley, but can use it to refine us, deepen our dependence on Him, and make us more like Christ. Through Vince and Karen Johnson’s testimony of losing their son, we are shown how God can bring healing, purpose, and even beauty from places of profound brokenness. Ultimately, we are encouraged to keep walking when the valley comes, and trust that the God who restores and makes all things new is faithfully at work even when we cannot yet see what He is doing.

Week Seven - Sacrificial Mission

This week, Betsy Brooks and Kyle Landis join RD exploring what it looks like to live for the sake of others. Following Jesus is not meant to turn us inward or make us comfortable. As we grow in Christ, His love moves us outward toward the people and places He has put in front of us. Sacrificial mission is not about adding more to an already full life or earning God’s favor. It is the natural response to the grace we have already received, opening our hands, our time, our resources, and our lives to join God in His work of renewal.

Vision Series: Sacrificial Mission

September 20, 2026 • RD McClenagan • John 20:21

This Sunday, RD McClenagan continues the vision series God Has More by focusing on sacrificial mission—the call to live not for ourselves, but for the sake of others. Throughout Scripture, God blesses and transforms His people in order to send them out, as seen in Abraham’s call to leave what was familiar and become a blessing to all nations. As followers of Jesus, we are called to live as ambassadors of His kingdom, bringing salt and light into the places God has already placed us through generosity, hospitality, evangelism, justice, mercy, work, and service. Rather than withdrawing from the world or simply blending into it, we are are invited to seek the flourishing of our communities and live with gospel intentionality in our neighborhoods, workplaces, churches, and relationships. Ultimately, sacrificial mission is sustained by the love of Christ, who gave Himself for us, so that through the power of God we can pour out our lives and bring His life and renewal into the broken and barren places around us.

This episode features Krista Elmore and Will Odom exploring the ongoing work of the gospel in our lives and in the world around us. The gospel is not simply the starting point of the Christian life; it is the good news that continually renews every part of it. In Christ, our identity is received rather than achieved, freeing us from both the pressure to prove ourselves and the need to define ourselves. As the gospel becomes the lens through which we see our lives, the Holy Spirit continues to reshape us through repentance, confession, and deeper dependence on Jesus, then sends us into the world to participate in His work of bringing renewal to every person and place.

Vision Series: Gospel Renewal

September 13, 2026 • RD McClenagan • John 20:21

In this week of the God Has More vision series, RD McClenagan introduces Fellowship’s value of gospel renewal by challenging believers to see the gospel as far bigger than a one-time message that brings salvation—it is the truth and power that continually transforms every part of the Christian life. Using Paul’s confrontation of Peter in Galatians 2, RD shows how even mature believers can live out of step with the gospel when fear, approval, performance, or other idols become more real to them than their identity and acceptance in Christ. The fullness of the gospel reminds believers that in Christ they are justified, regenerated, sanctified, adopted, and continually being transformed by the Holy Spirit, giving them a secure foundation that does not depend on their behavior, circumstances, or the approval of others. Gospel renewal happens as Christians continually preach the gospel to themselves, behold Christ, confess and put sin to death, and intentionally apply gospel truth to the specific places in their lives where they are tempted to look elsewhere for security or worth. Rather than moving on from the gospel, believers are invited to move more deeply into it, discovering throughout their lives just how great, beautiful, and sufficient God’s saving work in Christ has always been.

Week Five - Prayer & Pursuit 

This episode features Spencer Garland, Mindy Allen, and Emmaline Bartlett sharing from their own journeys of prayer and pursuing God. Prayer is more than asking God for an outcome; it is an invitation to know Him, depend on Him, and continually reorient our lives around His presence. A life of prayer requires both boldness and surrender, choosing to ask, seek, and knock even when desire is weak or answers do not come quickly. As we keep returning to God, prayer becomes less transactional and more relational, forming us through both answered and unanswered prayers as we learn to pursue Him for who He is.

Vision Series: Prayer & Pursuit

September 6, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Psalm 63:1–3

In the fifth week of the vision series God Has More, RD McClenagan introduces Fellowship’s value of being a people of prayer and pursuit, emphasizing that prayer is central to growing as mature disciples of Jesus. Prayer allows believers to encounter God, call on Him to fulfill the promises of His Word, and approach Him confidently as a loving Father who welcomes His children to come honestly in weariness, fear, grief, and need. RD encourages believers to develop a practical rhythm of prayer through adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication, while also remembering that the goal is not a perfect system but simply learning to make prayer our first response. Because Jesus is continually interceding for His people, believers can pray with confidence and persistence, continuing to ask, seek, and knock even when answers do not come immediately. Ultimately, Fellowship is called to become a church increasingly marked by hunger for God’s presence and dependence on His power, trusting that whether the need is great or small, our instinct should be to “just pray.”

Week Four - Theological Integration

This episode features Greg Pinkner and Sarah Scott exploring what it means for theology to shape the whole of our lives. Theology is not reserved for classrooms or scholars. What we believe about God shapes how we understand ourselves, walk through suffering, make decisions, and live every part of our lives. Theological integration brings together right thinking and right living, allowing the truth of who God is to move from our minds into our hearts and ultimately into our actions. As we know God more deeply through His Word, theology becomes more than information. It becomes an invitation to love Him, become more like Him, and live in response to who He is.

Today's episode ties with the sermon from August 30 called “Theological Integration.”

Vision Series: Theological Integration

August 30, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Romans 12:2

In the fourth week of our vision series God Has More, RD McClenagan introduces Fellowship’s value of theological integration—the conviction that what we believe about God should shape how we think, feel, and live. Because everyone has beliefs about God that influence their lives, mature discipleship requires holding together sound doctrine, transformed affections, and faithful action rather than separating what we know from how we live. Drawing from Paul’s instruction to Timothy to watch both his life and doctrine closely, RD encourages believers to spend time prayerfully reflecting on God’s Word and depending on the Holy Spirit so that truth moves beyond information and becomes deeply rooted in the heart. True theological integration means allowing what we know to be true about God to shape our everyday responses while embracing the whole counsel of God rather than emphasizing only the parts of the Christian life we naturally gravitate toward. Ultimately, growing in theology should lead us toward greater humility, love for God and neighbor, the fruit of the Spirit, worship, and increasing Christlikeness as our lives become more consistent with the truths we profess.
