Pastor Andy Wood walks through Mark 2–3 to show how Jesus meets us in our brokenness and brings healing, freedom, and restoration. As Jesus confronts empty religion and restores a man with a shriveled hand, we’re reminded that God never intended us to live under the weight of performance or shame. Instead, He invites us into relationship, rest, and a new way of living shaped by His grace. If you’ve ever felt burdened by striving, stuck in brokenness, or in need of God’s healing touch, this message is a powerful reminder that Jesus still restores what feels ruined and calls us to trust Him with every part of our lives. 

What if right now is exactly when God wants to meet you? In this message from Jesus on the Move, Pastor Andy Wood walks through a moment in Mark's gospel where religious leaders question Jesus about fasting, and Jesus answers with three pictures that still apply today: a wedding worth celebrating, a garment too new to patch, and wine too alive for an old skin. Together they show that God is doing something new, something that can't fit inside old systems or borrowed seasons. You'll explore the difference between chronos, the ordinary clock, and kairos, the divine window of opportunity. Like the sons of Issachar, you're invited to read the season you're in instead of rushing past it. Whatever your stage of life, busy parent, single adult, or grandparent, God has a purpose for you right now. The real question isn't whether He's moving. It's whether you'll make space to see it.

What if the very story you've heard a thousand times is the only thing strong enough to hold your life together? Guest speaker Pastor Jason Parrish, who leads The Well near Salt Lake City, reminds us that the gospel isn't an old idea to outgrow, it's the power that never stops working. Through the story of Lazarus, you'll see that God gets the glory in your hardest moments, that sin leaves us spiritually dead apart from Christ, and that the moment you trust Jesus, your standing before Him instantly changes. You don't have to clean yourself up first. Jesus calls you out of the grave just as you are, then patiently does the work of unwrapping and transforming you. Wherever you are today, take your next step: surrender your life to Jesus and find a small group where you can keep growing.

Jesus reorders our lives room by room, and the last room He asks for is often the hardest to surrender. In this closing message of the Get Growing series, Pastor Andy Wood makes a compelling case that a growing faith will always lead to a generous heart. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9, he reframes the way we think about money: not as something we've earned and choose to share, but as something God entrusted to us and invites us to steward with open hands. God is the giver, the replenisher, and the one who can be trusted when fear tempts us to hold on tight. Generosity isn't an obligation; it's an act of worship, a declaration of trust, and an invitation into the kind of life only God can sustain. Wherever you are in your giving journey, this message will challenge and encourage you to take the next step.

What if the secret to spiritual growth has been right in front of you all along? In this message, Pastor Andy Wood and Dream Team Pastor Jacob Wilson reveal one of the most counterintuitive truths in Scripture: a life of service is the secret accelerator of growth. God didn't just save you from something. He saved you for something. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–10, they explore three reasons to serve: God saves us for service, shapes us for service, and grows us through service, building your character, His Church, and your reach along the way. You have been uniquely formed with specific gifts, passions, abilities, and experiences, and there is a place in the body of Christ that only you can fill. Your purpose isn't just waiting to be discovered. It's waiting to be lived.

Who's speaking into your life? In this message, Pastor Andy Wood introduces the idea of your "wisdom table": the voices, relationships, and content that quietly shape your perspective, your heart, and your destiny. Like a microscopic root pest that destroys a plant from the inside out, bad influences can devastate your faith before you ever notice. Drawing from the lives of King Solomon and King Rehoboam, Pastor Andy shows how even the wisest people can be undone by letting the wrong voices in. This message gives you practical steps to evaluate who's at your table, vet your influences, seek mentors for every area of life, and place King Jesus at the head. Spiritual growth is God's will for you, but the voices you listen to will determine whether you get there.

Why do some people grow more than others? In this first message of our new series, Get Growing, Pastor Andy Wood explores God's design for spiritual growth and why it doesn't happen by accident. Drawing from Jesus' parable of the sower in Mark 4, Pastor Andy walks through four heart conditions that determine how we receive God's Word. A hard heart lets truth get snatched away before it takes root. A shallow heart receives the Word with excitement but has no depth to sustain it. A distracted heart gets crowded out by worry, wealth, and competing desires. But a receptive heart hears the Word, accepts it, applies it, and multiplies it. Growth is God's will for you, but it's not guaranteed. The condition of your heart makes all the difference. This message will challenge you to examine your own heart and take practical steps toward becoming someone who bears lasting fruit for God.

In this special Mother's Day message, Pastor Stacie Wood shares an encouraging word about the most powerful tool we have to influence our families: persevering prayer. Through inspiring stories from church history and her own life, Stacie illustrates the impact of refusing to give up on praying for loved ones. She explores the Hebrew concept of "paga," depicting intercession as boldly bringing the needs of others before God's mercy. Stacie challenges listeners to pray "dangerous" prayers that will set the spiritual trajectory for generations. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or friend, this message will renew your faith and remind you that it's never too late to start contending for God's best for your family. Discover how your prayers are your greatest influence.

What happens when we flip the script and let young people teach us? In this message, Pastor Kurt Johnston explores four powerful lessons from youth in the Bible. Drawing from the stories of Samuel, Esther, the boys who mocked Elisha, and the boy with the loaves and fishes, Pastor Kurt shares practical habits to transform our lives. Learn to "listen up" to God's voice by dialing down the noise, "step up" to protect the vulnerable, "shush up" by pausing to pray before speaking, and "offer up" what you have to join what God is doing. No matter your age, you will be challenged to put these timeless principles into practice. God is always at work, and when we align our lives with His, we can make a lasting impact in the next generation and beyond.

All of us desire peace in our homes, but how can we find it with so many competing priorities? In this message, Pastor Andy Wood explores God's design for bringing lasting peace into our families. Drawing from Psalm 128 and James 3, Pastor Andy shares how to catch God's vision for your home, order your priorities with worship of God as the foundation, and shape daily habits that sow seeds of peace. Learn practical ways to gather around the table, speak affirming words, and root out bitter envy and selfish ambition that destroy relationships. Whether you're single, a young parent, or a grandparent, you'll be encouraged to persevere and trust God for strength. Peace requires willingness to keep sowing in faith, knowing a harvest of righteousness is coming. God has a vision for your home, and there's still time to align your heart with His design.
