  • When hope feel too risky

    If you feel caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure which way to step and afraid to hope in case you are disappointed again, this message from 2 Kings 7 is for you. AJ follows four men with leprosy who had only a mustard seed of faith and a tiny bit more hope in one direction, and shows how God met them as they moved, turned an empty enemy camp into provision, and gave them good news too good to keep. The invitation is simple: remember what God has done, take the small step toward hope, and share the life you find, rather than waiting in despair or doubt.

  • The valley that becomes a spring

    Ever felt stuck on the road to something you can't make happen but really long for? You're not alone, and the psalmist knows that place well. Exploring Psalm 84, Alyn shows how God blesses us while we are still on the journey, not only when we arrive, turning our dry Valley of Baca into springs and pools and leading us from strength to strength as we keep trusting him.

  • Life with the Holy Spirit

    AJ teaches on living every day with the Holy Spirit as a real Person, not just a power: our Helper, Teacher, Reminder, and the Spirit of adoption who means we're never orphans. Mixing John 14 with honest stories from her own life, including her struggle to let herself have needs, she invites us to stop doing everything alone and pray a simple prayer: "Holy Spirit, my answer is yes."

  • The responsibility of blessing

    Does tithing actually work? Is teaching about God's desire to bless us dangerously close to the prosperity gospel? And why does Jesus talk so much about money when there are more important spiritual matters?

    In this final episode of More Than Enough, Alyn tackles some of the most challenging questions surrounding God's blessing, generosity, and financial stewardship. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, he explores the dangers of prosperity, why our relationship with money reveals so much about our hearts, and what Jesus really meant when He told us to seek first the Kingdom of God. Plus, a live Q&A explores some difficult questions about wealth, injustice, and the responsibility that comes with abundance.

  • The multiplication principle

    What if the path to having more than enough begins with giving something away?

    In the feeding of the 5,000, Jesus takes what seems hopelessly insufficient, blesses it, gives it away, and somehow there is more left over than there was to begin with.

    In part three of More Than Enough, Alyn explores the biblical connection between blessing, obedience and generosity, and why God so often invites us to give when it seems least convenient. Through Scripture and personal stories, we’ll discover what can happen when we put what we have into God’s hands, trust Him with it, and become people who are increasingly free from the fear of lack.

    Because you can’t outgive God, but it sure is fun trying.

  • The firstfruits principle

    In part two of our series on blessing, Alyn unpacks the second trait he sees in people who walk in unusual blessing: they honor God first with their wealth. Starting in Proverbs 3, Alyn explores the principle of "the first belongs to God". If last week settled that God wants to bless you, this week is about positioning yourself to receive it.

  • What do you believe about blessing?

    What do you actually believe about the blessing of God? In part one of this three-part series, Alyn lays the biblical foundation for understanding God as a Father who desires to bless His people, not simply for their own benefit, but so they can become a blessing to others. Walking through Psalm 67, Psalm 128, 2 Corinthians 9, and other passages, he explores how experiences of lack, fear, shame, and inherited assumptions can shape what we believe God wants for us. Before talking about tithing, giving, or generosity, this message asks a more fundamental question: do we really believe that God is good, abundant, and committed to our flourishing?

  • God made you on purpose

    What if becoming more like Jesus doesn’t mean becoming less like yourself? In this deeply personal message, AJ shares her own journey of recovering parts of herself she had learned to hide or diminish, and explores what Scripture says about the people God created us to be. Through Psalm 139, the woman with the issue of blood, the body of Christ, and the story of Peter, she shows how God knows us completely, made us intentionally, and transforms us without erasing our personalities, gifts, passions, or uniqueness. Healing and maturity aren’t about becoming someone else; they’re about becoming more fully who God created us to be, surrendered to Him. God’s goal isn’t uniformity, but unity: a body filled with very different people becoming more like Jesus while becoming more fully themselves.

  • Life with The Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit isn’t meant to be a theological idea we believe in from a distance. He is God with us, living in us, teaching us, reminding us of Jesus’ words, revealing what’s on God’s heart, guiding us in everyday life, shaping us to become more like Jesus, and filling us with love, joy, peace, and hope. In this message, Alyn explores some of the surprisingly practical ways the Holy Spirit works and invites us to move beyond simply knowing about Him to learning how to recognize, trust, and respond to His presence in our daily lives.

  • Stop listening to yourself

    Jesus said that what we say flows from what is in our hearts. In this message, Alyn explores the connection between our thoughts, beliefs, and words, why our words have genuine power without becoming magical formulas, and how Jesus Himself responded to temptation with Scripture. When our thoughts turn toward fear, discouragement, or despair, sometimes we need to stop listening to ourselves and start preaching the truth of God’s Word to ourselves.
