Welcome family! This is Pastor Joe Moss II with Make God Famous Church, and I’m so glad you’ve joined us today. We’re in Week 2 of our series God’s Map for Your Life. Last week we talked about roads—the way we travel. This week, we’re stepping into gates—the points of entry.

Jesus said in Matthew 7, ‘Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.’

Today we’re going to talk about the gates in your life—the decisions you face, the authority you give, the protection you need, and how Christ Himself is the true Gate. Don’t just stand near it. Don’t just admire it. Enter it. Let’s get into this word.

Week 1: Roads – God’s Map for Your Life
Description:
Are you on the right road? In this episode, Pastor Joe Moss II of Make God Famous Church begins our series God’s Map for Your Life with a deep look at Roads.

Drawing from John 14:6 and the road to Damascus in Acts 9, Pastor Joe shows how direction shapes destiny, how God interrupts wrong roads to save us, and why following Jesus means more than just traveling—it means choosing the only road that leads to life.

You Can’t Fake Fruit

You can fake hustle. You can fake confidence. You can even fake success for a season. But here’s the truth: you can’t fake fruit. 🍎

In this powerful episode of the Make God Famous Podcast, Pastor Joe Moss II of Make God Famous Church takes us deeper into a simple but unforgettable lesson — one that started with a father–son conversation at the dinner table.

Fruit is the result of your life. It shows up in your habits, your relationships, your leadership, and your impact. Fake fruit might look good from the outside, but it can’t feed anyone. Real fruit — the kind that lasts, nourishes, and points people back to the source — only comes from connection.

Whether you’re:

• An athlete under the spotlight, trying to prove yourself in the big moments,

• A professional grinding to climb the ladder but running on empty,

• A parent trying to balance work, home, and raising kids in a busy world,

• A coach or leader shaping culture and setting the example for others,

• Or a student navigating the pressure of identity and acceptance…

This episode is for you.

Inside, we’ll unpack:
✅ The cultural obsession with “plastic fruit” — appearances, image, and performance.
✅ The 3 marks of real fruit that lasts, feeds others, and reflects your source.
✅ The false sources we often cling to — success, image, applause — and why they always leave us empty.
✅ The real source that produces life for athletes, professionals, leaders, parents, and students alike.
✅ A closing challenge: when life takes a bite out of you, what will it taste?

This isn’t just about church. It’s about real life. Because the truth is, the world doesn’t need more polished performances. It needs people producing fruit that’s real, alive, and life-giving.

👉 Tune in now, and discover how to stay connected to the real source — and live a life that feeds a hungry world.

Your Body Is the Strategy — It’s Not Just a Shell

We’ve been told to “focus on the spirit” and ignore the body… but what if that’s the reason so many of us are living disconnected, depleted, and defeated?

In this powerful live message, Pastor Joe Moss II teaches why your body isn’t just a shell you live in — it’s the strategy God designed for your purpose, your calling, and your ability to impact others.

Your health. Your energy. Your strength.
They’re not optional — they’re spiritual tools.

• Why stewarding your body is spiritual obedience, not vanity

• How neglecting your body affects your purpose, calling, and clarity

• The connection between fitness, faith, and mental toughness

• How to integrate daily habits that align your spirit, soul, and body

• What Scripture really says about treating your body as God’s temple

It’s easy to praise God when life is good — when the door opens, the job comes through, and the blessing shows up. But what about when life says “No”? What about when the pressure feels unbearable and the trial seems too heavy to carry?

In this powerful message, Pastor Joe Moss II of Make God Famous Church unpacks the question: “Where’s the Praise When It Hurts?”

Through a personal story of rejection, the lesson of the tea bag, and the example of Jesus under pressure in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the Cross, this episode will remind you that:

• Pressure doesn’t destroy you — it reveals your purpose.

• Trials are not punishment — they’re preparation.

• Your praise under pressure is proof of your faith.

📖 Scripture Focus: James 1:2–4
🙌 Theme: Count it all joy — even in the fire.

Tune in now and be encouraged to worship not just when it’s easy, but when it’s hardest. Because your praise when it hurts is what makes God famous.

What if the version of you people think they know… isn’t really you at all?
In this powerful message, Pastor Joe Moss unpacks 1 Samuel 17 and shows how God can take you from the background to the battlefield — from overlooked to undeniable.

Just like David, there are seasons when God hides your true identity until the right moment. And when that moment comes, even people who’ve known you for years will have to meet you all over again.

This isn’t just about you — it’s also about Jesus reintroducing Himself to those who’ve only met Him through broken church culture, hypocrisy, and religion without relationship.

Get ready for God to reintroduce you, redefine your future, and renew your faith.

In This Episode:

• Why people may know your face but not your future.

• How God uses defining moments to reintroduce you.

• The overflow blessing when God redefines you.

• Why some people will need to meet you again.

• A compassionate call for those hurt by church to meet the real Jesus.
