Only the Cross can make bitter waters pure again. In this message, Pastor Jasmine Weiler continues our Summer of Prayer series, walking through the Lord's Prayer and landing on one of its hardest lines: "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." Discover the four lies that keep us from forgiving, why forgiveness is about your relationship with God — not the person who hurt you — and how unforgiveness can quietly turn into bitterness if left unaddressed.

In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to bring supplication to God, drawing from Matthew 6 and Exodus 16. He unpacks how the Lord's Prayer moves from acknowledging who God is, to praying His will be done, to finally bringing our requests before Him as our daily bread. Pastor Sean challenges believers to stop questioning whether they deserve God's provision and to start asking like a beloved son or daughter, because a good father always wants to meet the needs of his children.

Hear Pastor Matt Wakefield teach us about God's deliverance from evil and how to resist temptation from the devil through a life of prayer!

Basically, God was saying: "Get rid of your baggage. You've been carrying it for way too long."

Host Heather Schott and co-host Jasmine Weiler sit down with Pastor Will Ford — prayer warrior, author, and lead pastor of Mercy Culture East Fort Worth — to tell the story of a 250-year-old cast iron kettle. Will's enslaved ancestors in Louisiana would flip it upside down on the cabin floor and pray under it for freedom, muffling their voices so they wouldn't be caught crying out to God. Generations later, those prayers were answered — and the story only gets more miraculous from there.

As America marks its 250th anniversary and a season of Jubilee, this is a call back to the one weapon the Church keeps leaving on the table: prayer. Will's family story is now being made into a feature film, The Dream King.

Lead Campus Pastor Dehavilland Ford teaches that the Lord's Prayer is more than a model to recite—it is an invitation to honor God's name, represent His kingdom, and partner with His purposes on the earth. He reveals that every prayer offered in faith is gathered before God's throne, encouraging believers to live as carriers of God's name and to approach Him with confidence as sons and daughters. Pastor Dehavilland challenges the church to reject the enemy's accusations, embrace a lifestyle of prayer, and faithfully hallow God's name until His kingdom comes in fullness.

Forgiveness does not mean the wound never happened, trust must immediately be restored, or reconciliation is guaranteed. It means surrendering the debt to God and refusing to let offense or bitterness keep you in bondage. Learn how to forgive quickly, keep forgiving when the pain remains, ask the Holy Spirit for help, and allow the process of forgiveness to make you more like Jesus.

Dr. Michael Brown teaches on the power of intercession — prayer that presses in and stands in the gap for others. From the Hebrew word maphgia to the example of Jesus, Paul, and the Holy Spirit's groanings within us, he unpacks what it means to identify with those we're praying for, carry the weight of their need, and contend in authority for breakthrough.

Pastor Landon Schott sits down with Pastor Martin Sedra for a conversation most churches won't have — and every believer needs to hear.

This episode traces the historical spread of Islam across nations and empires, exposing patterns of conquest the West has largely forgotten.

Together, they connect the dots between ancient conquest and what's happening in America right now — and why the Church can no longer afford to be uninformed.

This isn't a conversation about fear. It's a call to discernment, courage, and clarity in a culture that's forgotten both its history and its God.

In this powerful Summer of Prayer message, Matt Lockett and Pastor Will Ford unpack John 17 and the prayer of Jesus: that His Church would be one so the world would believe. Through the story of a 250-year-old prayer kettle, generational prayer, forgiveness, revival, justice, and the call to stand in the gap, this message invites the Church to become the answer to Jesus’ prayer.
