In this message, we are smashing the "perfect illusions" of modern Christianity. So many believers feel like they are constantly on God’s chopping block, living in fear that their struggles are a sign of failure rather than what they truly are: the refining fire of God.​We often treat our faith like "high-performance spiritual athletics," racing toward a finish line of perfection that doesn't exist on this side of heaven. In doing so, we miss the joy of the journey and the beauty of the Holy Spirit’s slow, deliberate work within us. Now is the time to start moving away from "spiritual performance" toward the authentic, refining fire of God. This is a shift many believers are desperate for. Essentially moving from a veneer of perfection to a vessel of glory. So much wisdom and deep things of God are being tragically missed in lieu of religous burn-out methods that have only served to exhast everyone.​If you feel broken, weary, or like you’re constantly failing the "perfection test," this word is for you. God isn't looking for a polished facade; He is looking for a heart willing to walk through the fire to become like pure gold.​"But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."— Job 23:10. “We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.”― Oswald Chambers

In a world defined by uncertainty and shifting shadows, where can we find a firm place to stand?​In this message, we dive deep into the sovereignty of God—the truth that nothing escapes His eye and nothing moves without His permission. We explore why believing God’s Word is the highest honor we can give Him, and how total abandonment to Jesus Christ transforms our fear into unshakeable peace.In this video, we discuss:​Prophetic Preparation: Recognizing the signs of the times without losing our peace.​The Power of the Word: Why standing on His promises is our greatest strength.​Holy Patience: Giving God the room to move and answer prayers in His own unique style.​Our Divine Identity: Living as vessels of love and care under the Father’s faithful protection.​If you are feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world, let this message remind you that you are a child of God, held by a King who is in total sovereign control.

With the world in turmoil and hearts failing for fear of what is coming upon the earth, it can be difficult to find a firm place to stand. In this message, we share a raw and honest reflection on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ in the midst of deep trials, losses, and dark nights.​Through decades of experience, we have found that while our circumstances may change, God never does. We are not speaking from a place of ease, but from the heat of the fire, where Jesus has proven Himself more than faithful. We look at the promise of John 16:33, where Christ warns us of tribulation but commands us to be of "good cheer" because He has overcome the world.This video is an exaltation of the Lord’s immutable character. It is a reminder that God uses our hardest seasons to develop a peaceable assurance that cannot be shaken by the news or the economy. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or weary, let this testimony encourage you. He has carried us through every war and every storm, and He will surely carry you too.

For many, the weeks between Hanukkah and Christmas are filled with festive lights and celebration—but for many others, it is the heaviest, most emotional time of the year.

​In this message, we reflect on a tragic moment that occurred on the first day of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach, Australia. What was meant to be a day of joy and community became a day of mourning due to an unthinkable act of violence. It serves as a stark reminder that even in seasons of celebration, darkness can feel overwhelming. ​

But the story doesn't end in the dark. ​

We discuss why the "darkest evil" cannot extinguish the Light that entered our world. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Light of the whole world—the richest gift ever given and the true Hope for every person, regardless of their circumstances. If you are struggling to find joy this season, this message is for you. ​

In this video, we cover: ​The reality of "holiday grief" and emotional weight. ​Honoring those lost at Bondi Beach. ​How the Light of Christ offers a hope that the world cannot take away.

We want to hear from you: If you are walking through a "dark night" this holiday season, please know you are not alone. Whether you are mourning a loss, feeling the weight of the world, or simply need someone to stand in faith with you, we invite you to reach out.

Subscribe: Join our community for more messages of hope and truth. ​Share this video: You never know who in your circle is struggling in silence today. ​

A Closing Prayer for the Season: ​"Lord, we lift up every heart reading this or watching this message. We especially remember those affected by the tragedy at Bondi Beach—families whose lives were changed on a day meant for light. We acknowledge that for many, this season feels more like a shadow than a celebration. We ask that Your Presence would meet them in the quiet, heavy moments. We thank You that Jesus is the Light that the darkness cannot overcome. We pray that Your peace, which passes all understanding, would guard our hearts and minds. May the Hope of the World shine brightly in our lives today. Amen."

“You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.” ― Henry Drummond

Where The Wounds Were is the raw, unforgettable memoir of Amy Musfeldt, a woman who spent her childhood in a desperate search for belonging. Growing up feeling forgotten, unloved and utterly unseen.

Amy's deep need for attention drew her down a treacherous path. From the unstable environment of her early life to the revolving door of foster care homes. Amy sought acceptance everywhere.

She chased validation as an aspiring model, only to find herself drawn into the seductive promises of the New Age movement. Her search for spiritual fulfillment quickly plunged her deeper still into the occult, leading to darkness and spiritual bondage.

In this powerful testimony, Amy openly shares the truth of her darkest moments and the breathtaking moment she was powerfully saved by encountering the true, unconditional love of Christ.

Where The Wounds Were is a story of radical redemption, proving that no matter how deep the wounds, complete healing and an eternal home can be found.

"There is a way out. There is someone who sees you. His name is Jesus. And even though I didn't know Him yet, He was already reaching for me."

In modern times, the simple act of giving has become confused, complicated, and even feared. Jesus admonished us to give, but today, many are held back by the fear of what it will financially cost them, while others feel they have nothing to give.

This has created a spiritual drought in the Church—a great lack of selfless generosity. ​Much of giving has been grossly distorted and monetized by a post-modern gospel, a far cry from the overflowing mercy and community found a century ago.

This video cuts through the confusion to reveal the original, ceaseless flow of Christian generosity.

We are vessels of mercy. We receive mercy from God, and that divine love is meant to flow continually through us to others. ​Thanksgiving is for only for one day, but our lives are meant for every day giving until the end of our lives.

​Giving is not an obligation; it is our greatest living purpose. As John 3:16 declares, God gave us the greatest gift of His Son Jesus because He so loved the world.

It's time to stop hoarding and start pouring out. Give yourself away in the love streams of Jesus, quenching the thirst of those who are desperate, lonely, and afraid. ​ In this video, we dive into: ​The true meaning of Jesus's command to give. ​How the modern "monetized gospel" has ruined true generosity. ​

The antidote: Living as a vessel of ceaseless mercy. ​Why the fear of financial loss is misplaced. ​The power of giving what you think you don't have. ​Join the conversation in the comments! What does true, Christ-centered giving look like in your life?

"The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become."

- Hudson Taylor, Missionary to China ​

Knowing the history of the property, I spent the days leading up to our stay in dedicated prayer, spiritually cleansing the grounds before we even arrived.​What followed was a raw and terrifying re-awakening to the undeniable reality of the spirit world. We experienced firsthand the presence of volatile spirits, encountering genuine mischief and hatred that they manifested directly toward us. This wasn't a movie—it was a real spiritual attack in a truly haunted place.​But this message is not about fear. It's about victory. This trip solidified the truth: we have absolute power over and against the powers of Satan's kingdom through Christ. This is proof that the long, faithful prayers you've fought for decades are guaranteed to result in guaranteed victory.

Felt the crushing weight of fear or the temptation to hide and give up? ​In this powerful message, we dive into Luke 13:31-33, where Jesus is warned that the "fox-king" Herod wants to kill him.

Instead of running, Jesus delivers a stunning, confident reply that reveals the true heart of our mission.​The devil tries to use threats, fear, and intimidation to get us to hide and kill off our joy, courage, and faith. But we are called to the Spirit of Life! Discover how to stand firm, complete your mission, and run the race with full confidence, even when the enemy tries to tell you to quit.

Jesus Himself will see to it that you will finish your race with great joy, and powerful victory, you can rely on it. You can rely on Him."Satan is not particular what lie he tells you; one will work as powerfully as another if he can get you to believe it."

The passing of NFL star Marshawn Kneeland by suicide is not just a sports story; it's a massive wake-up call for our society." The Core Problem - Speed vs. Humanity​We live in a fast-paced world—fast careers, fast scrolling, fast judgments, fast religion.

Dak Prescott, who is also on the Cowboys, revealed that Marshawn had privately talked to him about "Ending the pain," and said "he was smiling for the cameras, but he was hurting inside." Dak Prescott further said, "I thought he was just tired. I did not realize he was saying goodbye."​What if the simple act of slowing down could make an eternal difference? What if in slowing down you give the Holy Spirit a chance to move in you, to see through God's eyes something deeper? What if the greatest power you possess is right here... in your mouth?
