In this powerful teaching from New Beginnings Live, we explore The Power of Letting Go, a call to freedom rooted in Hebrews 12:1 and the truth that you cannot run your race well while carrying what God never asked you to hold.

Many believers want freedom but struggle with surrender. This episode confronts the hidden weights that slow us down, fear, pride, unforgiveness, control, and familiar dysfunction, and reveals why letting go is not weakness, but worship. Through Scripture, practical insight, and the ultimate example of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, we see that victory often begins in private surrender long before it appears in public breakthrough.

You’ll be challenged to examine what you’re holding onto, why it’s so hard to release it, and how unreleased weight eventually becomes a stronghold. With vivid illustrations and a clear spiritual call, this message reminds us that clenched fists can’t receive new grace, and that open hands lead to renewed strength, peace, and momentum in God.

If you’re feeling stuck, weighed down, or struggling to move forward in faith, this episode will challenge you to lay it aside, trust God’s sovereignty, and run free into the next season He has prepared for you.

Let it go.
Lay it aside.
And run.

Christmas is often wrapped in lights, music, and smiling face, but the first Christmas didn’t happen in the spotlight. It happened in the shadows.

In this special New Beginnings Live episode, Pastor Tom Sears takes us back to the raw reality of the first Christmas, a world marked by oppression, silence, fear, and waiting, and reveals a powerful truth: Jesus didn’t arrive when everything was right; He arrived when everything was broken.

Drawing from John 1:5, Isaiah 9:2, and Luke 2, this message explores:

• Why God sent His Son into darkness, not decoration
• Why the first announcement of Jesus went to overlooked shepherds
• Why the Savior was placed in a manger instead of a palace
• How Christmas is the beginning of God’s rescue mission, not the end of the story

If you’re carrying heaviness this season, feeling unseen, or wrestling with questions of faith, this message is for you.

Darkness is not a disqualifier for God’s presenc, it's often where He shows up first.

Light has come. The question is: what will you do with it?
