  • Measured Faith (Nameless Faith)
    Jesus isn’t impressed by big numbers or loud moments—He notices trust and surrender. In a temple culture where giving had become a show, a poor widow quietly drops in two tiny coins—everything she had—and Jesus calls it “more.” Her story flips our idea of value and success, challenging us to loosen our grip on control, comfort, and security. God’s math is different: He weighs trust and multiplies surrender. Even small, hidden acts of faith can move big things when placed in His hands. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Breakthrough Faith (Nameless Faith)
    Real change rarely happens solo. When a paralyzed man couldn’t reach Jesus on his own, four friends carried him, climbed a roof, ripped it open, and lowered him down. Jesus saw their faith, forgave him, and healed him. Stop living on islands—surround yourself with “crazy good friends,” and be that kind of friend for others. Breakthrough faith moves, carries, creates new paths when doors are blocked, and celebrates loudly when God comes through. It’s practical, gritty, and deeply communal. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Persistent Faith (Nameless Faith)
    When life feels unfair and your prayers hit a wall, what do you do? We dig into the story of a mom who refused to give up when everything went quiet. She doesn’t have all the right words or background—just raw desperation and stubborn faith. Jesus doesn’t shame her; He pushes her deeper until her belief becomes real, not borrowed. It’s a story about holding on when you want to walk away, trusting that even a tiny bit of hope—a “crumb”—can change everything. When life goes silent, don’t shut down. Lean in. Keep asking. Let the pressure forge something real inside you. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Desperate Faith (Nameless Faith)
    The “bleeding woman” in Mark 5:25–34—a nameless person with twelve years of pain, medical dead ends, financial strain, and social isolation—reaches for Jesus in desperate faith and is instantly healed. Jesus stops, draws her into the open, and calls her “Daughter,” showing that He doesn’t just fix problems; He restores identity. Real faith moves before the miracle, refuses to be defined by circumstances, pursues Jesus, and believes God can do immeasurably more—right in the middle of our mess. (Talk by Josh Daubert)

  • Not a Long Shot (Nameless Faith)
    Kicking off “Nameless Faith,” we zoom in on the Roman centurion — a man whose name we don’t get, but whose faith amazed Jesus. He’d tried everything, hit a wall, and still believed Jesus could heal from a distance with just a word. That’s the heart of real faith: not treating Jesus as a helpful teacher when life wobbles, but trusting Him as Lord with actual authority. Your past, your drift, your distance—none of it disqualifies you. God’s word won’t fail. Learn His promises, trust them in your situation, and let your faith outlive your name. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Designed to Do: Living on Purpose (On Purpose)
    Life on “autopilot” makes us drift, so 1 Peter 4:7–11 calls us to live on purpose: serve with urgency because time is short, serve with love that shows up in actions, serve through the gifts and passions God already put in you, and serve for one reason—to point people to Jesus. We weren’t designed to warm the bench but to do good that helps others and glorifies God. So ask what you’re doing for God and for people—then do it today, not someday. (Talk by Josh Daubert)

  • It's about saying yes...Baptism Sunday (Baptism)
    Baptism Sunday is all about saying “yes” to God’s invitation and celebrating new life. Acts 8 shows us that God always moves first—pursuing, stirring, and setting things in motion. Our role? Simply respond. Sometimes faith is slow and steady, sometimes it’s a bold leap, but baptism is the moment to go public and declare, “I belong to Jesus.” It’s not about perfection, it’s about taking the next step—and cheering on others who do the same. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Turning Off Autopilot (On Purpose)
    We were built to belong. Stuff, status, and busyness can’t replace people. Real community makes us stronger, helps us grow, and holds us up when life gets heavy—like a braided cord that won’t snap under pressure. The challenge? Get off autopilot, find your people, and be that person for someone else. (Talk by Josh Daubert)

  • For When I'm Getting Lost (Soul Reset)
    Our lives are cluttered tables—piled with stuff that never really satisfies. Fasting clears the space so God can fill it. It’s not ‘if’ but ‘when’ you fast—Jesus expected it to be part of our rhythm of soul care. We’ll try all kinds of diets to fix our bodies; why not fast to strengthen our souls? (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • More Than Words (Soul Reset)
    Just like muscles need steady nutrition to grow strong, our souls need the steady intake of God’s Word. A Sunday “shake” isn’t enough to face life’s pressure and lies. Jesus Himself relied on Scripture when He was weak and tempted, showing us that truth is more powerful than opinion, feelings, or the voices around us. The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s alive, active, and meant to fuel, guide, and strengthen us every single day. If Jesus needed it, so do we. Don’t just sip once in a while—make God’s Word part of your daily rhythm. (Talk by Joshua Ott)
