About 45% of your life runs on autopilot.
What if your faith does too?

In “Religion on Repeat,” Pastor Rory explores how easy it is to fall into patterns of spiritual routine without real heart change. Looking at Stephen’s message in Acts 7, this teaching challenges the difference between tradition and truth, behavior and transformation.

You can know all the right things…
Do all the right things…
And still miss what God is doing.

If you’re tired of going through the motions, this episode will help you break the cycle and rediscover a faith that actually changes you.

The Outside Lane | Jesus Over Religion - Week 2

Ever feel like you’re on the outside when it comes to faith?

In this message from Acts of the Apostles 7, we look at Joseph’s story and discover a powerful truth: you can be outside the system and still inside God’s story.

Comparison steals, pressure reveals, but purpose prevails—and through it all, God is with you.

If you’ve been feeling behind or overlooked, this message will help you reframe your season and keep running your race.

What if the biggest barrier between people and God… isn’t sin, but religion?

In this message, Pastor Rory walks through Acts of the Apostles 6–7 and the story of Stephen—the first martyr of the early church—to expose how religion can complicate what Jesus came to simplify.

Religion builds systems.
Jesus brings relationship.

From Abraham in Mesopotamia to the empty tomb, this message shows how God has always been moving toward people—not waiting for them to get it right first.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to clean yourself up before coming to God, this message will reset your perspective.

Key Themes:

• Religion closes doors, but Jesus opens them
• Grace crosses every line and meets you where you are
• Faith requires movement—not just belief
• “It is finished” means the work is already done

This Easter message is a clear invitation: stop jumping through hoops and step into a real relationship with Jesus.

Closer Than You Think | Pastor Rory Chance

Have you ever felt like God was distant… like your prayers weren’t getting through or His presence had faded?

In this message, Pastor Rory challenges the idea of an “intercom God”—a God who is far away and only responds when we say the right words, build the right system, or reach a certain level spiritually.

Looking at Exodus 33, the wilderness journey, and Jacob’s encounter in Genesis 28, we uncover a better, truer picture of who God really is:

— Always present — even when you can’t feel Him
— Always pursuing — even when you feel stuck or unworthy
— Always accessible — closer than a whisper, ready when you call

If you’ve been walking through a dry season, questioning where God is, or wondering if you’ve drifted too far—this message will re-center your perspective and remind you of a foundational truth:

God isn’t somewhere else. He’s already here.

Tune in and rediscover the nearness of God.

Is God really jealous?

In this message, guest speaker, Anahy Saterfiel, confronts a common misconception and uncovers the truth behind God’s “jealousy.” It’s not insecurity—it’s covenant love.

Discover how modern idols quietly compete for your devotion, why we tend to treat God transactionally, and what it looks like to fully trust Him as the one true God.

Have you ever made a deal with God?

Many of us live with an unspoken belief: if I do my part, God will do His. But what happens when life doesn’t turn out the way we expected?

In this message, Pastor Rory challenges the idea of a “Gameshow God” and reframes a deeper truth—God doesn’t exist to serve us; we exist to serve Him.

Discover how to trust God even when:

• His ways don’t make sense

• The problems feel bigger than the promises

• Life doesn’t go as planned

This episode will help you anchor your faith, not in circumstances, but in the unchanging character of God.

Many people don’t reject God — they reject a version of God they were handed.

In Week 2 of Second Hand Savior, Pastor Rory explores how our assumptions about God are often shaped by second-hand experiences rather than Scripture. Looking at Exodus 34, we discover God’s own description of His character: compassionate, faithful, just, patient, and full of unfailing love.

God doesn’t ignore sin — but He isn’t waiting to snap at sinners either. His mercy is deeper than we imagine, and His justice is more loving than we realize.

If you’ve ever struggled with who God really is, this message helps replace distortion with truth and reveals the heart of a Savior who offers real second chances.

Genesis Church | Pastor Rory Chance

In this episode of the Genesis Story Podcast, Rory and Brittani continue the conversation from the Bless This Mess series by talking about the difference between peacekeeping and peacemaking in our families and relationships.

Peacekeeping avoids tension. Peacemaking does the harder work of addressing what’s broken so real healing can happen.

Together they unpack practical ways to bring peace into messy relationships—setting healthy boundaries, having honest conversations, and speaking truth that restores instead of divides. If your family, friendships, or home life feels complicated right now, this conversation offers biblical wisdom and practical steps toward lasting peace.

Second Hand Savior – Week 1: Second Guessing God
Pastor Rory Chance

Have you ever inherited a version of God you didn’t choose?

In week one of Second Hand Savior, Pastor Rory challenges us to examine the beliefs we’ve been handed — from church culture, family experiences, disappointment, or religious tradition — and ask a hard question: What if the God you struggle to serve isn’t God at all, but a secondhand version of Him?

Looking at Israel’s story in Exodus, we see how distance distorts, fear reshapes perception, and hearts manufacture substitutes when relationship is replaced with religion. But God refuses to remain secondhand. In Exodus 34, He speaks for Himself — revealing His true character as compassionate, gracious, and faithful.

This message is an invitation to move from borrowed faith to personal encounter. Stop second guessing God. Come closer. Hear Him for yourself.

Bless This Mess 4 | The Peacemakers

Peace doesn’t just happen. It’s built.

In the final message of Bless This Mess, Rory and Jocelyn unpack the difference between peacekeepers and peacemakers—and why avoiding conflict never produces real peace. Looking at Abraham’s messy family story and Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:9, they show how healthy boundaries, hard conversations, forgiveness, and speaking faith can transform the atmosphere of a home.

If your relationships feel tense, strained, or stuck, this episode will challenge you to stop waiting for peace—and start making it.
