In one of the rawest psalms, David cries out for mercy after his greatest failure. If God could forgive him at rock bottom, maybe He can show mercy to you in your worst moments too. In this message, we explore how God’s mercy meets us in our sin, frees us to be honest, creates something new in us, and turns our mess into a testimony of His grace.

New semester. Same Jesus. In the kickoff of our Psalms series at YA, Curtis unpacks Psalm 19 and reminds us that God reveals Himself through His world and His Word so we can trust Him in every season. Life may change, emotions may rise and fall, but God’s voice is steady—and His Word revives, guides and anchors us.

Have you ever just wanted to quit? Maybe it’s a relationship, your Bible reading habit, a job or even your walk with God. Why do we get weary? Why do we give up when things get hard or when we don't see results?

Join us, as we dive into Galatians 6 with Pastor Abe Miller from Eden Church and explore how Paul challenges us to keep going—to walk in the Spirit, love others well and not grow tired in doing good. What does it mean to gently restore someone who’s struggling? How do we carry one another’s burdens without becoming prideful or self-righteous? And when the harvest feels far off, how do we keep sowing seeds of faith?

In this YA message, Pastor Jerrod Leonard dives into Galatians 5 with a powerful call to live in true freedom—not the kind that indulges the flesh, but the kind that comes from walking by the Spirit. What does real freedom look like in your life? Are you settling for instant gratification or pursuing the life God has called you to? Jerrod shares parts of his own story, challenges us to examine ours and reminds us that freedom in Christ leads to lasting fruit.

What does it mean to be truly free? In this episode, we dive into Galatians 3 & 4 ,with Colton Willey, to explore how the Gospel offers a freedom unlike anything the world promises. While culture defines freedom as living without constraints, Scripture shows us that true freedom is found in knowing Christ, being adopted into God’s family and resting in His promises. But here’s the paradox—real freedom comes not from self-reliance but from joyful submission to Christ. Join us as we continue to unpack why Jesus + Nothing = Everything, how legalism enslaves and what it means to walk in the Spirit. Are you truly free?

@saylorville_ya

Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of trying harder, failing, and feeling unworthy? In this episode, we unpack the rest of Galatians 3 with Andrew Bush, the High School Director at Saylorville Church, and see Paul’s bold contrast between the Law and the Promise in. The Law was never meant to save us—it was meant to show us our need for Jesus. So what does it really mean to be a child of God? To be clothed with Christ? To be an heir of His promise? And if we are heirs of the promise, are we also living out His purpose? Join us as we explore what it means to truly rest in the gospel and walk in the identity God has given us.

Have you ever felt like you needed to do more to earn God’s love? Like being a good Christian depended on your effort? In this episode, we dive into Galatians 3 continuing in our YA series No Other Gospel with Colton Willey, our Connections Director, and wrestle with the struggle of adding to the Gospel—something Paul calls foolish and dangerous. Through personal stories, real struggles and biblical truth, we’ll see why Jesus alone is enough and why our daily desperation for Him is the key to true freedom. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to measure up, this episode is for you. Jesus + Nothing = Everything.
