Donny and Dave share how they feel about the different seasons and the fertilization of soil for surrender.

In this powerful message, Pastor Donny Challenges us to examine our spiritual state through the lens of light and darkness. Drawing from Ephesians 5:8-14, we're reminded that as believers, we're not just in the light - we are light in the Lord. This shift in identity is crucial; it's not about behavior modification, but living out our new nature in Christ. The fruit of this light - goodness, righteousness, and truth - should naturally flow from our lives. However, we're cautioned against spiritual sleep, which can lead to gradual drift from God. The call to 'wake up' is urgent, reminding us that renewal begins with exposing the darkness in our lives to God's purifying light. This message challenges us to consider: Are we truly awake spiritually? Are we allowing Christ's light to shine on every area of our lives? It's a powerful reminder that in Christ, we have the power to step out of darkness and into His marvelous light.

In this episode, Dave interviews Nick Campbell (Worship Pastor) and Jake Wilbert (Hospitality Director) about how the teams are preparing for Renew, how God is calling them to postures of surrender, thinking of the "staying power" of how God is working, and remembering that this is just the beginning, not a finish line.

In this episode, Dave interviews Worship Leader, Music Director, and close friend, Jon Miller, about how God is moving in his life, calling him into deeper places of intimacy, and walking away from things once considered "liberties" but turned out to be standing in the way of something more wonderful.

In the first of five episodes centered on powerful passages of scripture, we look at Ezekiel 37, the story of God using His prophet Ezekiel to raise bones up to life and call the breath of the Lord to enter their lungs. This isn't just a story from the OT to make us say Oooo and Ahhh... this is a reminder that God can breathe life into what seems long gone. If you have ever felt weary, exhausted, dried up and cast aside... this episode is for you.

In today's episode, Dave and TJ talk about fasting leading up to the Renew Conference and how we need Jesus more than we need anything we ask Him to do.

We're challenged to examine our approach to prayer and fasting. The parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18:9-14 serves as a stark reminder that God values humility over self-righteousness. We're encouraged to reflect on our own attitudes: do we approach God with a list of our accomplishments, or do we come before Him with a humble heart? The imagery of the baseball bat used for different purposes brilliantly illustrates how our intentions matter more than our actions. As we prepare for times of prayer and fasting, let's remember that it's not about impressing God or others, but about seeking a deeper connection with our Creator. The message urges us to approach God with a broken and contrite heart, recognizing our need for His mercy and grace. This shift in perspective can transform our spiritual lives, moving us from self-reliance to complete dependence on God's love and forgiveness.

Dave interviews our Executive Pastor of Operations, David Haynes, about what it means to prepare our hearts for the Renew Conference. Together they realize John 3 has been on both of their hearts as the Lord is moving throughout our church.
