In this episode of Monday Morning Faith, Donny and Dave talk about Donny's upcoming mission trip to NYC and making room in our lives for deeper trust in the Lord.

In this powerful exploration of fasting, we're reminded that it's not about what we give up, but who we're going after. The message draws from Jesus' teachings in Matthew 6 and the prophet Joel's call to 'return to me with all your heart.' We learn that fasting isn't a religious performance or a way to manipulate God, but a declaration of our dependence on Him. It's about creating space in our lives to hear God's voice more clearly. The parallel between physical hunger and spiritual longing is beautifully drawn, encouraging us to hunger for righteousness and God's presence. This message challenges us to examine what might be dulling our appetite for God and invites us to fast not just from food, but from anything that distracts us from our Creator. As we fast, we're not just emptying our hands, but reaching for something greater – a deeper intimacy with God.

In this episode, Donny and Dave talk about what is really keeping you from joining your church family on a Sunday morning and Who to look to for our daily bread.

In this exploration of the Lord's Prayer, Pastor Donny dives deep into the heart of what it means to truly depend on God. The central message revolves around Matthew 6:11-15, where Jesus teaches us to pray for our daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil. This isn't just a ritual; it's a radical reorientation of our hearts. We're challenged to see prayer not as a last resort, but as our first response - a daily act of surrender and warfare against spiritual complacency. The imagery of manna in the wilderness reminds us that God's provision is fresh every morning, teaching us to trust Him day by day. Perhaps most striking is the parallel drawn between receiving forgiveness and extending it to others. We're reminded that the gospel isn't just vertical (between us and God) but horizontal too, transforming how we relate to those around us. Donny's message speaks directly to our tendency towards self-reliance and unforgiveness, urging us to embrace a lifestyle of humility and grace that reflects the very heart of Christ.

In today's episode of Monday Morning Faith, Donny and Dave talk about traffic patterns as the beginning of another school year draws closer and how to find the balance between having reverence for God and knowing Him as our Heavenly Father.

The focus is on Matthew 6:9-10, where Jesus teaches us how to pray. We're reminded that prayer isn't about impressing God or rattling off a list of wants, but about aligning our hearts with His will. The phrase 'Our Father in heaven' invites us into an intimate relationship with the Almighty Creator, balancing reverence with closeness. 'Hallowed be your name' calls us to prioritize God's glory over our needs. This shift in perspective can transform our prayer life from self-centered requests to God-centered worship. As we contemplate this, we're encouraged to start our prayers with adoration and acknowledgment of God's holiness, setting the tone for a deeper, more meaningful connection with our Heavenly Father.

In this episode of Monday Morning Faith, Donny and Dave recap GatHER and talk about how to value the relationship more than micromanaging the method of spending time with God.

The message centers on Matthew 6:5-8, where Jesus contrasts performative prayer with intimate communion with God. We're challenged to move beyond the 'spiritual megaphone' of public displays and enter the 'secret place' where real transformation occurs. This isn't about geography, but intentionality - creating a sacred space in our hearts where we meet God as Father. The parallel drawn between a child seeking comfort after a bad day and our approach to prayer is particularly poignant. It reminds us that prayer isn't about impressing God or others, but about vulnerable, honest connection. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our own prayer lives. Are we praying for applause or intimacy? The message urges us to embrace the gospel truth that we don't pray to earn God's approval, but because Jesus has already secured it for us.

In this episode of Monday Morning Faith, Donny and Dave walk through whether he's afraid AI is going to take his job or not and then transition to talking through Matthew 6 and what being rewarded in Heaven will be like.
