  • Finding Hope in Hard Places (Guest Speakers)
    Life doesn’t always make sense, and neither does suffering—but Job’s story proves that faith isn’t about having answers, it’s about trusting God through the chaos. He lost everything, faced bad advice, and still held on. When we stop trying to control the unknown and surrender to God, we realize He’s been in control all along. Even when we can’t see Him working, He never abandons us. (Talk by Don Baker)

  • What's in your hand? (Resilient)
    Life is a fight, and the battles feel endless. But what if the breakthrough isn’t about holding on tighter—but letting go? In Exodus 17, Moses’ staff was just a stick until God used it. The same is true for what’s in your hands—your time, gifts, and resources. Victory comes when we surrender what we have to God and trust Him with the outcome. And like Moses needed Aaron and Hur to hold him up, we’re not meant to stand alone. So, what’s in your hands—and will you trust God with it? (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • The Suffering That Saved Us (Guest Speakers)
    Isaiah 53 foretells the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus, written 700 years before His crucifixion. Many people misunderstand Christ’s purpose, much like the Jewish people who expected a warrior king but received a suffering servant. Jesus took on unimaginable pain, rejection, and humiliation to bear our sins, fulfilling God’s plan for salvation. His suffering was not an accident but an intentional act of love, bringing healing and restoration to all who believe in Him. Even now, Jesus intercedes for us, offering redemption to those who turn to Him. (Talk by Don Baker)

  • Still Standing (Resilient)
    We all know what it feels like to be pulled in different directions—pressures from work, family, society, or even our own expectations. It’s easy to feel like we’re being swept away. But the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3 reminds us that standing firm in faith is possible, even when the pressure is intense. They didn’t bend to the culture around them, and their trust in God became a testimony. Today, we can do the same. Whatever pressures you’re facing—busyness, peer pressure, self-doubt—God gives you the strength to stand firm. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • I Built a Boat (Resilient)
    We’re all building something—intentionally or not. When life gets hard, we’re tempted to abandon what matters most to build distractions or walls for protection. Opposition and discouragement often stop us from dreaming, working, praying, and believing. But God calls us to keep building what matters to Him. Let’s look back with gratitude and lean into the future with faith, knowing what we’re building together is worth the effort. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Just Stay (Resilient)
    Sometimes you just need to stay long enough to see what God will do. Don’t grow weary—breakthrough often comes right after we’re tempted to quit. Keep seeking God, and in His perfect timing, we’ll step into the victory He has for us. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Propped Up By Prayer (Resilient)
    Sometimes the solution is simple—yet also the best, the most powerful, and the hardest. We tend to overcomplicate things, letting awkwardness or discomfort hold us back. But if you’re wondering, “What should I do?” the simplest answer is prayer. It was Daniel’s first move—and his most important one—because if life was too big for him, it wasn’t too big for God. He prayed like everything depended on God showing up…because it did. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Un-Snappable (Resilient)
    Pressure will reveal a lot about you. It separates the real from the fake. It reveals who you really are, your character and what you really believe about life, yourself and God. We try to deflect, stall or squirm our way out of pressure often relying on things that will inevitably let us down to see us through. Instead our faith could just prepare us to stand under pressure. Daniel was prepared, so in the life or death pressure of a moment he was able to respond with wisdom and tact. Practice small steps of courage. In those tough moments take a second to be still and know that God is still God. You will not be snapped. God can do for you what you can't. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Because We Win (Resilient)
    Resilient faith is a confident faith. Sure, it sounds crazy to celebrate the win early, but maybe that's our problem - we don't live like the victory is already ours. If you belong to Jesus, you’ve already won - Romans says we're more than conquerors. So walk in that victory, not with arrogance but with deep confidence. Declare the truth, defeat the lies, and live like you're on the winning side. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

  • Unshakable Faith (Resilient)
    Resilient faith is so needed — a faith built on the right foundation, strong enough for the storms life throws at us. Daniel faced exhausting, terrible circumstances, but he knew what God had for him and how God directed him. So when everything went sideways, he was still standing - unshakable. In Matthew 7, Jesus shows us how to build a faith like that: it's tested, tried, and comes from not just hearing but doing what He says. Is your faith resilient? What have you been building your life on? (Talk by Joshua Ott)
