The Truth Behind The Sermon episodes

  • The Long Way Home

    In this week’s episode Pastor Perry, Chaston, Tray, and guest Ryan O’Kelly start with laughter over favorite road-trip snacks before diving into Exodus 13:17–22, exploring why God sometimes takes us the long way around.

    Ryan shares a powerful personal testimony about walking through a cancer diagnosis and how God has shown His faithfulness even on unexpected roads. Together, the team reflects on how God uses detours to form His people turning slaves into soldiers, and the wilderness into a workshop of faith.

    They also unpack the story of Joseph’s bones, showing how God always finishes what He starts and how our lives, like Joseph’s, can become a “sermon in motion” that points others to Jesus.

    This episode is a heartfelt reminder that even when life doesn’t follow the shortest route, God’s way is always the best way shaping us, strengthening us, and guiding us home.

  • The First Belongs to God

    In this week’s episode Pastor Perry, Ryan, Chaston, and Tray kick things off with laughter and some unexpected talents from beatboxing to Mario Kart victories before diving deep into Exodus 13 and what it means that “the first belongs to God.”

    Together, they unpack how redemption began with Jesus Himself the spotless Lamb who redeemed the unclean and what that teaches us about faith, giving, and divine order. The conversation turns personal as they discuss why blessing is linked to putting God first, how giving is really a response to redemption, and why generosity is less about money and more about trusting God’s worthiness.

    This episode beautifully ties ancient truth to modern life reminding every believer that when we put God first, in every area, we open the door for His presence and blessing to shape everything else.

    Tray, Pastor Perry, Pastor Ryan, and new Worship Pastor Chaston share honest stories about trusting God when life doesn’t make sense from unexpected career moves to seasons of waiting and transformation. Together, they explore how God doesn’t just lead us forward; He changes our identity and calls us His own.

    This episode reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about self-improvement or control. It’s about surrender, trust, and transformation as we let the Lord lead the way home.
