FOUNT

In this message, we look at 2 Corinthians 3:16–18 and the process of being transformed into the likeness of Christ. In a culture that values quick results and visible success, following Jesus often feels slower and more difficult than we expect. Through Paul's words, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is actively at work in us, shaping our lives from one degree of glory to another. Even in seasons of pressure, anxiety, weakness, or grief, God meets us in the process and uses those moments to form us more deeply into the image of Christ.

In this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey explores the story of Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21 and the powerful name she gives God: El Roi, the God who sees me. In the middle of the desert, overlooked and running from pain, Hagar encounters a God who finds her, sees her, and hears her. This message reminds us that God is not distant from our suffering or unaware of our story. He meets us in our hardest moments, opens our eyes to His provision, and invites us to see Jesus, the living water who is with us even when we feel unseen.

Pastor Josh explores the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 and what faith looks like when we don't know what to do. Faced with overwhelming opposition, the king turns first to honest prayer: "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You." This message invites us to admit what we cannot control, fix our eyes on God, and let praise declare where our trust truly rests. When we place the full weight of our lives on Him, we discover the battle was never ours to fight alone.|

Pastor Josh Kelsey explores God's sovereignty through Isaiah 46:9–10. Sovereignty isn't a picture of a distant King controlling from afar, it's the love of a Father who carries His people home. Sovereignty Is Not God's Power Over You, It Is God's Promise to You. The God who declares the end from the beginning is the same God who says, "I have made you, I will carry you, I will sustain you." Because He is sovereign, nothing in your story is wasted, and nothing can separate you from His purpose.

In this message, Brittany reminds us that being a disciple of Jesus means choosing a different way of living in the world. One of those ways is to move and live at the pace of prayer. As we build rhythms that are slow, intentional, and unhurried, we begin to stay connected to Jesus, aware of His presence, and aligned with what He is doing in our lives. The pace of prayer helps shapes who we become and how we experience God.

In this message, Pastor Kevin shares how faith grows when we release control and learn to trust God in every season. God is inviting us to rediscover who He really is, the God of the impossible, not limited by our understanding or circumstances. As we encounter Him, our response is not to control or figure everything out, but to repent, trust, and step into a deeper relationship with Him. What feels impossible may actually be an invitation to let go, trust God more fully, and believe that nothing is too wonderful for Him.

What does it really look like to grow into leadership? In this episode, Mike and Tabi Oaks share their journey, how God shaped them over time, stretched their capacity, and formed their character along the way.

Through honest stories and practical insight, they unpack the lessons they've learned about humility, faithfulness, and trusting God in every season. This conversation will encourage you to embrace your process, stay planted where God has you, and step confidently into the leadership He's calling you to.

Georgie Kelsey and Josh Kelsey from FOUNT Church NYC present: Message by Kevin Meyers In Genesis 46, God reveals His perfect plan to establish His people by bringing them down to Egypt. God's perfect plan often runs counter to human reasoning. Pastor Kevin reminds us that we can find hope in any circumstance that feels like an "Egypt," because God strengthens us in our weakness. We are not formed by the plans we fully understand, but by His nearness in every circumstance. Through every trial, He gives us faith to keep walking and is continually shaping us into His image.
