Ever feel like you just can’t take any more? ✋

Maybe you’re in what we call the "Practical Wilderness." You’ve burned the plow, you’re trying to follow God, but everything feels bone-dry. The car breaks, the kids are struggling, and the "rain" just isn't falling.

This week, we’re learning from the Prophet Elisha that only God can send the water, but sometimes He asks YOU to dig the ditch.

Faith doesn’t deny that the ground is dry; faith decides to believe what God SAYS over what you SEE. If you’re waiting on a "Suddenly" from God, it’s time to grab your shovel and start worshiping in the middle of your desert! 🏜️✨

Join the Conversation: What is one "ditch" you are digging this week? Is it a ditch of prayer? A ditch of kindness in your marriage? A ditch of trust in your finances? Let us know in the comments so the team can pray with you! 👇

Did you know your relationship status (whether you’re a newlywed like Burch, single, or married for decades) is actually a "movie trailer" for the greatest love story ever told?

In this episode of Heartfelt's Pastor Corner, Pastor Tom Roepke joins co-hosts Burch and Elisa on Heartfelt Mornings and dives into The Mystery of the Mirror.

We’re exploring Ephesians 5 and 1 Kings 19 to see why Jesus "burned the plow" of Heaven to commit to you.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just "dating" God—wondering if He’s going to break up with you over your "spiritual morning breath"—this conversation is for you.

You'll want to listen to the first 60 seconds again and hear a familiar voice for a thoughtful reflection from the Bible...(hint...MZ)

Most of us spend our lives plowing the "12th row"—doing the same chores, facing the same dirt, and following a routine that feels smaller than our spirit. We want More, but we’re afraid to let go of the handles of the plow.

Today, we launch our new series, ELISHA: Burn the Script. We’re looking at how an ordinary guy behind an oxen team became a history-maker by destroying his "Plan B."

Listen to this if you’re ready to:

✅ Break the cycle of spiritual stagnation.

✅ Identify the "safety nets" holding you back from your calling.

✅ Start a 40-day journey toward a more passionate, purposeful life.

💬 Join the Conversation: What is one "habit" or "script" you feel like you need to let go of this year? Let us know in the comments!

If our recent series on Habits was the classroom, Lent is the field test.

#Lent2026 #PracticallyPastoring #BibleReview #DallasWillard #SpiritualHabits #PastorTom

Visit our website: www.lindenroad.church

Welcome to church! Today we are wrapping up our "HABITS: Running the Race" series on this Super Sunday.

While the rest of the world is focused on the "Big Game," we are focusing on the "Big Victory" already won for us by Jesus.

Pastor Tom explores the final habit: Sacraments. We’ll look at the beautiful meaning behind Baptism and Communion—what the Presbyterian tradition calls the "outward sign of an inward work"—and how these practices keep us connected to Christ and each other.

🍞 COMMUNION NOTICE: We will be sharing in a "Victory Meal" together later in the service. Please take a moment now to prepare a piece of bread (or a cracker) and some juice (or water) so you can join us from your home! Family-Friendly Communion: A special time to remember our baptism and honor Jesus’ sacrifice.

What does it take to run the spiritual race well?

In Week 4 of our HABITS series, we're looking at the discipline of an athlete versus the discipline of a disciple.

Big Idea: Church involvement means working together to put others first.

Using the testimony of former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bradie James and the blueprint of the early church in Acts 2, we explore why "hanging out" as a church is about much more than just a weekly meeting—it’s about a world-changing lifestyle of generosity and fellowship.

How many miles does your thumb travel every day? 📱

We spend hours scrolling through feeds that leave us feeling empty, yet we struggle to find five minutes for the Book that offers life.

Lean On Me: Why Even the Pros Need Accountability | H.A.B.I.T.S. (Week 2)

Description: "I run with purpose in every step." — 1 Corinthians 9:26

Welcome to Week 2 of our series, H.A.B.I.T.S.

This week we dive into the power of Accountability. We often think of accountability as a "policing" tool, but the Bible shows us it's actually a "healing" tool. In this message, we explore: How NFL stars use the YouVersion Bible App (along with its 1 billion+ global users) to stay disciplined.

Why "sharing our burdens" is the only way to build a foundation that lasts (1 Corinthians 3:11-15).

Practical ways to start a "Plan with Friends" and use the "Talk It Over" feature to grow together.
