Pastor Oliver Denlinger teaches on the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an essential part of the gospel.

What impact does confession have on my life?

The Bible tells us to confess our sins to God and to one another in order to receive forgiveness, healing, cleansing, and wholeness. Yet, confession feels hard. Many of us have been hurt and condemned when we confessed. This misrepresents God's heart. He invites us to confess our sins because he knows that what we've done is not who we are, and he loves us enough to set us free. How would your life change if you started to agree with God's truth over your life? Join Heidi Zimmerman and Cheryl Pfautz as they discuss the power of confession to genuinely change our lives.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman teaches on the power of confession to unlock healing and breakthrough in our lives.

After receiving deliverance, how do I steward that freedom every day?

When God heals our hearts and delivers us from oppression, he gives beauty in places of ashes, joy in place of mourning, righteousness in place of sin. He makes us mighty so we can advance his kingdom. Part of stepping into that call is learning to steward our freedom every day. Join Matt Swords and Kevin Eshleman as they discuss the daily practices that help us live in the freedom Jesus purchased for us.

Guest speaker Jake Kail teaches us that trauma can open us up to demonic oppression, but Jesus can set us free.

How do I break agreement with demonic influence in my life?

The Holy Spirit empowers us to live free from demonic oppression. Yet we all experience attacks from the enemy, who wants to deceive us into agreeing with his lies. The good news is, evil spirits have no authority over believers in Jesus, and when we can recognize their attack, we can break their influence. What does that look like practically? Join Emily Given and Matt Swords as they discuss how to walk that out in our daily lives.

Guest speaker William Wood teaches on recognizing the influence of evil spirits in our lives so that we can be free.

Why should I seek the Lord for more?God calls us to seek him--to set our focus on him, listen for his voice, and rest in his presence. This requires us to intentionally create margin in our lives for him. Often, this is not easy or comfortable. Our lives are very full, and change feels hard. Perhaps we wonder, Why does this matter so much? What will I gain by seeking the Lord in this way? Join Jim Ehrman and Heidi Zimmerman as they talk about what happens when we invite God's greater work in our lives.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman invites us to respond to God's call to focus, listen, and rest in this special season of grace.

How can you share your faith naturally and impactfully?

We all know sharing our faith is important, yet many of us feel very intimidated about doing it. We struggle to know the right words or to find a natural, non-awkward way to bring it up. But God asks us to share his good news as an overflow of our identity in him. Join Jim Ehrman and David Burr as they discuss practical ways to share the gospel that are genuine and natural, as well as effective.
