Why does prayer often feel like a religious duty to trudge through rather than a delight to be enjoyed? As we step into 2026, Kaj invites us to move beyond strategies and methods to explore the essential heart posture of prayer.

Drawing on Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, this message explores how to transition from a transactional ritual to a deep, intimate encounter with God. Learn the three vital shifts in our perspective: moving from performance to presence, from control to trust, and from transaction to formation. Discover how to bring your authentic, "unfiltered" self before a Father who already knows what you need and delights in your voice. Whether you are an experienced prayer warrior or someone who feels you're "not very good at praying," this episode is a call to fall in love with simply spending time with your God.

Is God’s love something we only experience when we’re at our best, or does it meet us in the middle of our messes? In this final message of our Advent series, Kaj explores the theme of Love, not as a virtue we manufacture, but as a reality we experience within a relationship with God.

Discover why love is the "flame beneath the candles" of hope, peace, and joy, and how it often arrives in the most unexpected ways. We dive into the birth narrative in the book of Luke to see how God’s expansive love reached an elderly couple carrying a lifetime of disappointment, a young girl in a small town, and shepherds on the margins of society. Whether you’re feeling weary, overlooked, or simply caught in the holiday rush, this message is an invitation to slow down and let the "heartbeat of the gospel" transform your story this Christmas

Is the spiritual discipline of fasting a burden to be endured, or a feast to be enjoyed? In this message, Jason explores the profound purpose of fasting, shifting our focus from what we give up to what we gain in Christ.

Discover how fasting serves as a necessary "assault on comfort," helping us to subdue the flesh and sharpen our spiritual senses to hear the voice of God more clearly. Drawing on the biblical examples of the Israelites in the wilderness and Jesus' temptation, we learn that fasting is a powerful declaration that we do not live by bread alone, but by the very Word of God. This episode is an invitation to prepare your heart for a season of prayer and to experience the "spiritual gluttony" of feeding on the fullness of God's presence.

Prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given us, a way to communicate with a power that can alter the world in a moment. In this episode, Jason explores the profound mystery and power of prayer through the lens of Daniel chapter six.

Drawing on the miraculous true story of Brother Yoon and his pursuit of a Bible in Maoist China, the message illustrates that prayer has the power to change history and even the most desperate circumstances. We also look at the life of Daniel, a man who "prayed hard" even while living in exile and facing the threat of the lions' den.

Whether you feel like a "diehard Christian" or you’re struggling with a "comparison game" in your faith, this message is a vital reminder that your Heavenly Father simply wants to hear your voice. Discover how to share your deepest longings, grief, and joys with the Creator of the universe and why your prayers can truly change the future.

When we expect God to arrive with overwhelming force or magnificent power, the Christmas story offers a beautiful surprise: He comes gently.

In this Christmas message, Corey explores the arrival of the "gentle light" through the lens of Luke 2. While the radiant light that appeared to the shepherds was sudden and disorienting, it ultimately led them not to a magnificent throne, but to a fragile, humble baby.

Discover the significance of a God who meets us in our fragility—soothing us before He changes us and comforting us before He confronts us. This episode is a call for the church to embrace the "ministry of slowing down," learning to arrive gently in each other's lives and becoming a tender presence for those in their deepest night.

Is true contentment the result of having everything you need, or of knowing how to live without it?

In the final message of our series on Philippians, Mike dives into Philippians 4:10-20 to reveal the powerful secret to contentment, where Paul learned the ability to thrive regardless of circumstances.

The message breaks down contentment not as a passive feeling, but as a deliberate, spiritual skill learned through a relationship with Christ. Learn how to live in the abundance of Christ, trusting the promise that God will supply every one of your needs according to His riches in glory.

Is weakness holding you back from God, or is it the very thing He wants to use?

In this message, Kaj challenges the cultural belief that we must be strong and put-together, asserting that in God's kingdom, "weak is the way."

Diving into 2 Corinthians 4, the message explores the beautiful truth that we are "jars of clay" carrying the "treasure" of Christ's presence. Discover how your brokenness, pain, and failures are not obstacles but the very cracks that allow God’s all-surpassing power to shine through you to the world. Learn practical ways to embrace your weakness through confession, community, and service, and find hope in the promise: "My power is made perfect in weakness."

The Christian life is meant to be lived externally!

In the powerful Part 2 of our message on Spiritual Formation, Kaj Wigtson dives into John 13:12-17 to explore the movement from being loved by Jesus to loving others.

Discover why you cannot separate Jesus as Savior from Jesus as Lord (Master), and how surrendering your desire for control is the key to true obedience. This is a call to let your inner transformation overflow into outward action for the sake of others, moving from sitting in the chair to picking up the towel, and practicing modern-day "foot washing" through simple, unglamorous acts of service and love.

How do you know you are truly obeying God?

In this powerful message on discernment, Catherine opens with a personal story of conflict in ministry and the scripture that changed everything: "Woe to you when all speak well of you."

Diving into Luke 6:17-38, we explore Jesus' "constitution" for His new community. Learn why the path to God's kingdom involves loving your enemies, extending radical forgiveness, and actively removing the social barriers that divide people. This message challenges us to stop relying on social approval and equips us with practical lessons on how to grow in discernment, ensuring our lives reflect the true, barrier-removing, generous heart of God.

Is the peace you’re looking for just an escape from conflict, or something far greater? In this message, part nine of our series on Philippians, Mike dives into Philippians 4:2-9 to uncover the power of a name: Yahweh Shalom, the God of Peace.

He contrasts the limited, modern view of peace with the profound Hebrew concept of Shalom—wholeness, restoration, and thriving. Learn why the God of Peace is "on the offense" and how you can apply the practical steps Paul gives to overcome worry: rejoicing in the Lord always, calling on the strong name of the Lord, and focusing your thoughts on what is true. Discover how the daily practice of prayer and thanksgiving leads to the peace of God that will guard your heart and mind.
