May 27, 2022 11 I Chose You w/ Pastor Barry Edgemon
“Falls happen because we’re fashioned and designed one way but choose to live another, contradicting our original fashion.”
Man has always had the propensity to Fall since the Fall. We’ve made a habit of falling passing the art of Falling down to the third and fourth generations.

May 06, 2022 9 A Picture of Grace w/ Pastor Maury Davis
Maury Davis grew up in some of the most challenging circumstances a young boy should ever have to endure. His early life patterned and shaped a future that would cost Pastor Maury his future and perhaps his life.
The beautiful picture of grace, mercy, redemption, and one faithful man telling the story of Jesus. There's hope and wholeness after the fall and here's one of the best stories you'll ever hear!
ABOUT PASTOR MAURY DAVIS - https://maurydavis.com
In 1991, when Maury and his wife, Gail, answered the call to pioneer a church in Nashville, Tennessee, they arrived in a new state with little other than a call from God, a set of triplets, and an intense work ethic. Rather than pioneering a new start-up church, an unexpected chain of events led to Maury’s election as Senior Pastor of a small, 200-member congregation in the suburbs of the city.
Maury’s unique and personal journey with God has allowed him to experience the full life cycle of a pastor and the deep satisfaction of growing a ministry. His success is a testimony to his belief in and passion for empowering those around him to grow, take ownership, inspire others, and move forward.
Whether through intimate conferences, one-on-one coaching, or consulting relationships, Maury is dedicated to teaching and guiding other ministers to grow their churches. His heart understands that to further the Kingdom, we have to reach people. And that’s what he does, each and every day.
Today, that little 200-member church has grown to over 16,000 congregants that call Cornerstone Church home.

April 15, 2022 7 Dream Again w/ Pastor Kendall Bridges
Pastors Shawn and Sonny are joined by personal hero and long time friend, Pastor Kendall Bridges to discuss his fall and the freedom that came after five years of healing.
The Kendall Bridges story. Success is a deceiver. If we are not careful, we begin to believe that we have arrived because of who we are and what we have done. And it's true.
When we take the glory that belongs to God alone, the casting down begins, and the fall happens. We have two choices, recognize and repent or rebel and remain.
Pastor Kendall's Sermon at Life Church Green Bay - "Dream Again"

About Pastor Kendall Bridges
33 years ago, I stood on the platform of Faith Assembly of God Church in Pasadena, Texas, and said two words that changed everything. “I do.”
When I said “I do” to Starla, I was committing to be faithful to the vows that I made to her that day. Unfortunately, I was not always faithful to those vows, and my lack of commitment brought a lot of pain, hurt, betrayal, and grief. But by the grace of God, we have found healing and restoration through Jesus Christ.
I realize more today than I did 33 years ago that when one says, “I do,” it means that we “keep on doing” each day that we live.
Great marriages, great relationships, and great lives are not an accident. They are products of “doing” the right things.
The word of the day is “I do.”
“You have to do the right things to get results.”
Think of what God did for us by sending Jesus as the sacrifice for our sins and keeps on doing for us today by working all things together for good.
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God…”
In our restoration process, I committed to Starla that I would do whatever it takes to win her trust back. I’m still committed to doing that and will continue “to do” whatever it takes to be the man of God I need to be the most wonderful woman in the world. I love you, Starla, and “I do” all over again.
Stay Free,
Kendall Bridges

April 01, 2022 6 How To Come Back From a Setback w/ Pastor Lee McFarland
Pastor Shawn sits with long time friend, Pastor Lee McFarland. We never know a person's story until we sit with them and hear their story. Listening to them with compassion, kindness, and understanding.
Whether we are entering, in the middle of, or coming to the end of a fall. None of us are immune from a falling, but, we all have the same opportunity to rise after the fall.
Listen to Lee's message from Life Church Green Bay's sanctuary on YouTube

March 25, 2022 5 The Prequel
This week Pastor Shawn preaches on how his fall came about and how he found himself at the lowest point in his life. Everyone falls, but our failure doesn't have to be fatal. It's those who who dust off their pants and pick themselves that write the script on their failure instead of it writing the story on its own. Becoming more compassionate and understanding of human failure will not only set us up to be better stewards of success but also better leaders and Jesus-followers.
