In this message, AJ takes us on a journey to the potter’s house, drawing inspiration from the Old Testament passages that vividly illustrate God as the Potter and us as the clay.

Through the process of making pottery, we see a beautiful parallel to our lives with God—how He shapes, molds, and sometimes reshapes us for His purposes. This sermon is an invitation to trust the Potter’s hand, even in seasons that feel messy or uncertain, knowing that His plans are always for our good.

Did you know our judgments of others can have a way of turning back on us—and sometimes in surprising ways?

Do you ever feel trapped in a cycle that just won’t change—whether it’s in your job, relationships, or even church?

In this episode, we’re diving into the 2024 election through a different lens. Rather than get tangled up in the usual political debates, we’re anchoring ourselves in the words of Paul who warns against foolish and ignorant arguments and calls us to a posture of patience, gentleness, and truth.

Alyn helps us explore three big ideas: first, we'll look at the election from a biblical and eternal perspective. Then, we’ll take a closer look at the two major parties. Do they share any values with the kingdom of God, or are they on a different path entirely? And finally, we’ll explore how religious and political spirits work to disrupt peace and cloud judgment.

Whether you’re fed up, fogged up, or fired up by the election season, this episode will help you step back, dig deeper, and find peace and perspective in the bigger story God is writing for America.
