NORTH.CHURCH Podcast with Pastor Rodney Fouts

Pastor Jabin Chavez delivered a powerful and faith-filled message centered around the idea of mid-year miracles. Drawing from Habakkuk 3:2 and Joshua 14:12, he challenged the church not to give up on 2025, encouraging everyone to believe that God can still do incredible things in the remaining months of the year. He laid out three commitments to help position ourselves for a move of God: speak words of faith, take steps of faith, and find friends of faith. Pastor Jabin emphasized the importance of aligning our words with God’s promises, obeying God even without all the details, and leaning on godly community in both struggle and success.

In her revival message, Destiny Deas challenged us to stop clinging to the "old impossible" and step into the "new impossible" God is doing. Drawing from Isaiah 43 and Acts 1–2, she emphasized that God’s past miracles are not the pinnacle—He’s always moving forward, inviting us to see, believe, and participate in the next move of His Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to become, the language to connect, and the perspective to perceive—equipping us to reach people, endure challenges, and invest in future generations. Her call was clear: don’t get stuck in disappointment—lean in and receive what God is doing right now. Listen and be challenged.

On night one of Revival, Chet Pete delivered a message entitled, “I’m Going Under,” focused on the power and authority of Jesus. Preaching from Luke 7, he highlighted the faith of the centurion and challenged us to submit to God’s authority—not out of fear, but through trust and love. He encouraged us to go under God's control, cover, and construction, explaining that true transformation happens when we surrender every area of our lives to Him. When Jesus has authority over our lives, nothing under our roof is outside His reach. Listen and be challenged.

Pastor Rodney’s sermon from Psalm 96 calls us to “sing a new song to the Lord”—not just with music, but with renewed hearts, lives of worship, and bold witness. He illustrates how true worship is more than church expression; it's a daily surrender of thoughts, time, talent, treasures, and awe for God. When we live in wonder of who Jesus is, we can’t help but worship passionately, testify boldly, and carry the joy of revival into our everyday lives. Listen and be challenged.

Pastor Samson’s message from Psalm 91 reminded us that while attacks—both seen and unseen—are inevitable, those who dwell in the presence of God can live with unshakable confidence, knowing He is their refuge and protector. Trusting in God doesn’t mean we avoid pain or hardship, but it means we are ultimately victorious through Christ, who has already conquered evil. This kind of trust is rooted not in outcomes, but in intimacy with God—and it invites us to respond by surrendering our burdens and boldly proclaiming our faith. Listen and be challenged.

This week’s message explored how the Psalms speak to every season of life—from joy and clarity to pain and confusion. Nate Stukey challenged us to live with urgency and intentionality, warning against the drift of spiritual procrastination (Psalm 90). Sawyer Wilson called the Church to unity and mission, urging us to trade finger-pointing for gospel-pointing and to live “on earth as it is in heaven” with undivided hearts and a focus on Jesus (Psalm 86, Matthew 6, Revelation 7). Lijo George shared a powerful personal testimony through Psalm 89, encouraging us that faith is holding on to God’s promises—even when it feels like He’s forgotten us. Finally, Kezia Gavrila leaned into the darkness of Psalm 88, reminding us that God is present even in our deepest night, and that faith doesn’t always come with tidy answers. 

Together, these voices reminded us that no matter what season you’re in, there’s a psalm for you—and a God who is faithful through it all.

Pastor Rodney opened our Summer Songs collection of talks by reminding us that true joy isn’t rooted in circumstances, success, or comfort—it’s found in the presence of God. Drawing from Psalm 84, he showed how joy grows when we deeply desire God, dwell in His presence with others, and delight in trusting Him. Even in sorrow or struggle, God’s presence brings strength, refreshment, and lasting joy that the world can’t give—or take away. Listen and be challenged.

Pastor Clint’s message Bold Perseverance is a powerful reminder from Hebrews that we must run our race with endurance, keeping our eyes on Jesus and not returning to old patterns or giving in to spiritual fatigue. He emphasized the importance of daily perseverance, encouragement, and accountability in the face of distraction and difficulty. Ultimately, hope in God’s promises is not wishful thinking, but a steady anchor that fuels our love for others and keeps us spiritually strong until the end. Listen and be challenged.

Today’s message, Bold Wisdom, was a powerful tag-team sermon from four pastors, each bringing a unique lens on what it means to live wisely with boldness. Pastor Rodney introduced the theme by showing how bold wisdom builds, protects, and honors God, rooted in the fear of the Lord. Pastor Christian reminded us that wisdom seeks godly counsel and acts in faith, even with little, as shown through the obedient widow who trusted God with what she had. Pastor Heady emphasized that bold wisdom requires discernment—courageously evaluating what is true and right in a world full of deception. Finally, Pastor Samson closed by anchoring bold wisdom in a holy reverence for God, declaring that the fear of the Lord is both our confidence and our refuge. Listen and be challenged.

In this message on Bold Giving, Pastor Rodney draws from the story of the widow in 1 Kings 17 to show that bold generosity begins not with abundance, but with trust—especially in moments of need. He teaches that putting God first, even with our “little,” opens the door for His miraculous provision. Ultimately, bold giving reflects a grateful, faith-filled heart and positions us to partner with God in ways that not only meet needs but also grow our faith and bless others.
