The Impact Church Podcast

Are you struggling to trust God with what comes next? When the future feels uncertain, remembering what God has already done can give you faith to move forward. In this powerful Vision Sunday sermon, discover how to trust God's plan, walk by faith instead of sight, and prepare for the new things He is calling you to do. Through Joshua 3:5 and Habakkuk 2:2–3, learn why God's faithfulness in the past can give you confidence for the future.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church shares the incredible story of God's faithfulness over 16 years of ministry, the miracles that built Impact Church, and a bold new vision for reaching more people with the hope of Jesus. From nearly losing the church building to seeing thousands of lives transformed, Pastor Travis reminds us that the same God who made a way before is still working today.

In this sermon, you'll learn:

How to trust God when you don't know what the future holds

Why remembering past miracles strengthens your faith for what's ahead

What Joshua 3:5 teaches about preparing for God's next move

How to walk by faith and not by sight when the odds seem impossible

Why God's calling often requires courage before you see the outcome

How to recognize God's purpose and take your next step in faith

The Red Sea may be behind you, but the Jordan River is still ahead. The God who brought you this far isn't finished writing your story. What He's already done is worth celebrating. What He's about to do is worth believing for.

Do you feel unqualified, unsure of your purpose, or afraid that God can't use you? The Bible teaches that God doesn't need perfect people—He uses people who are willing to say yes. If you've been wondering how God can use you, this message will help you overcome self-doubt, discover the value of your gifts, and take your next step of faith. Your willingness to serve God could change someone else's life.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church shares “Yes, Lord. Use Me.”, from the Build My Church series, teaching how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things when they make themselves available to Him. Through the stories of Moses, Isaiah, the boy with five loaves and two fish, and Jonah, you'll discover why your obedience matters more than you realize.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

You may not see everything God has planned for your life. You may not know whose future is connected to your obedience. But what feels small in your hands can become something extraordinary in the hands of Jesus. Someone else's breakthrough may be waiting on your yes.

Your yes is bigger than you think.

This sermon shows you how to find your purpose in God’s church and stop living as a spectator in your faith. Using the story of Nehemiah, you’ll discover that God has given every believer a part to build and something in their hands He can use. You don’t have to preach, lead thousands, or have everything figured out to make an eternal difference. You simply have to stop asking, “What can the church do for me?” and start asking, “What can God do through me?”

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how Nehemiah’s rebuilding of Jerusalem reveals what can happen when ordinary people take ownership, use what God has given them, and build together.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

You were never meant to spend your life sitting on the sidelines. There’s a wall with your name on it. There’s a hammer in your hand. Pick it up and build something that will outlive you.

If you feel like giving up because you’re exhausted, discouraged, or overwhelmed, don’t make a permanent decision in a temporary season. The story of Elijah shows that even strong people can reach a point where they feel like they have nothing left. But God met Elijah in his exhaustion, restored his strength, corrected his isolation, and reminded him that his purpose was not finished. This sermon will help you understand how to keep going when you want to quit and trust God when you’re running on empty.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how God responded when Elijah wanted to quit—and what his story reveals about exhaustion, isolation, recovery, perseverance, and continuing in your calling.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

You may be tired, but tired doesn’t mean finished. The cave isn’t your identity, exhaustion doesn’t get to write your ending, and your worst moment doesn’t cancel your calling. What feels like the end may become the place where God restores you and gives you strength to get up again.

What does it really mean to put God first with your money? The Bible teaches that how we handle our finances reveals what we value and trust. In this message, you’ll discover what the Bible says about tithing, why giving God the first matters, and how biblical principles can bring order to your finances and your life. Tithing isn't simply about giving money—it’s about putting God first and allowing Him to shape your heart, priorities, and decisions.

In this sermon at Impact Church, guest speaker Pastor Tauren Wells, pastor of Church of Whitestone in Austin, Texas, teaches how God’s principles, patterns, and promises reveal a different way to approach our money and our lives.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

God doesn’t want to simply be somewhere on your priority list—He wants to be first. When your life is reordered around Him, your money becomes more than something you manage. It becomes an act of worship. The question isn’t only what you’re willing to give, but who sits at the center of everything you have.

📘 Resources & Next Steps

If you feel stuck in negative thoughts, worry, doubt, or old ways of thinking, God can renew your mind and prepare you for something new. The Bible teaches that real transformation begins when you change the way you think and learn to recognize what God is doing now. In this sermon, discover how to renew your mind through five practical, biblical steps: reset, resist, replace, rest, and repeat. You don’t have to keep responding to a new season with an old mindset.

In this sermon, Guest Speaker Montell Jordan teaches how renewing your mind helps you recognize God’s new direction, break old thought patterns, and respond to His voice with faith.

How to renew your mind according to Romans 12:2

God may be doing something new, but a new season can require a new way of thinking. Don’t let yesterday’s pattern become tomorrow’s limitation. Reset. Resist. Replace. Rest. Repeat—and make room for what God wants to do next.

How do you know when you’re chasing the wrong thing? Sometimes the warning signs are right in front of you, but your desire to keep moving forward keeps you from seeing them. In Numbers 22, Balaam was so focused on where he wanted to go that he couldn’t see what God was trying to stop him from doing. This sermon shows you how to recognize God’s warning signs, change direction, and stop fighting battles you were never meant to fight.

In this sermon, Guest Speaker Dr. Scott Williams teaches from the story of Balaam in Numbers 22 and reveals three signs that can help you recognize when you’re chasing the wrong thing.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

You can be so focused on getting where you want to go that you miss what God is trying to show you along the way. Sometimes the obstacle in front of you isn’t keeping you from your breakthrough—it’s keeping you from the wrong destination.

Pain can change the way you walk through life, but it does not have to stop you. If you’re trying to figure out how to keep going when life hurts, Scripture shows that your wounds do not have to define your future. Through the stories of Jacob, Lazarus, and Paul, we see that God can change your weakness into dependence, call you out of what tried to bury you, and give you strength even when the pain does not disappear. Your wounds may change you, but they do not get the final word.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how God meets us in our wounds, frees us from what belongs in the past, and gives us grace to keep walking even when life has changed us.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

You may walk differently after what happened to you. You may still carry the scar. But the wound that changed your walk does not get to decide where your story ends. You’re still here. You’re still moving. And by the grace of God, you’re still walkin’.

Pain can leave wounds that change how you see yourself, your future, and even God. But what hurt you does not have to define you or have the final word. In this message, you’ll learn how God can turn your pain into purpose by redeeming what you’ve been through and using your story to bring hope to someone else. Your scars can become evidence that what tried to break you did not win.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how God can redeem your wounds, transform your pain into purpose, and use the healing you’ve received to help others find hope.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

You survived what was supposed to silence you. Now God can use the very place where you were wounded to bring life to someone else. Don’t waste what God has redeemed. Your wounds don’t get the final word.

Hidden wounds can affect your relationships, your choices, and the way you see yourself—even when no one else knows you’re hurting. In Mark 5, the woman with the issue of blood shows us that healing from hidden wounds begins when we stop hiding and move toward Jesus. God does not ask you to pretend you’re okay or clean yourself up before coming to Him. This sermon will help you confront hidden pain, break the cycle of shame, and take a step toward the healing Jesus offers.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how Jesus responds to our hidden wounds with healing, grace, and a new identity.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why hiding your pain can keep you from healing

You may have learned how to smile while you’re hurting, succeed while you’re struggling, and keep moving while you’re bleeding inside. But you were never meant to make peace with the wounds Jesus came to heal. Your wound may tell you to stay hidden. Jesus says, “Come to Me.”
