WEEK 9: TRIGGERED // ANGER DANGER: WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW IS HURTING YOU   // PASTOR TIM ROSS
The anger you refuse to deal with will become the crash-out you never saw coming. Anger isn’t the issue, unprocessed anger is. In Week 9 of our Triggered Series, Pastor Tim Ross helps us understand what anger really is, why God designed it, and how it can turn dangerous when we don’t deal with it honestly. Whether you’re someone who explodes like Moses or implodes like the older brother, this message shows you how anger shows up in your body, what it’s trying to tell you, and how Jesus models a healthy way to express it. You don’t have to let anger rewrite your story. If you’re ready to name it, process it, and let Jesus lead you through it, this message will help you deal with your anger before your anger deals with you.

WEEK 6: TRIGGERED // CAN I STILL COME HOME? // PASTOR CHARLES METCALF
We’ve learned how to recognize our triggers before a crash out, but what happens when the crash already happened? After a crash out, we have two options: experience shame or experience grace. In Week 6 of the Triggered Series, Pastor Charles Metcalf breaks down the difference between conviction and condemnation and how each impacts our connection with God. While condemnation says you are your mistake, conviction reminds you there’s more for you beyond your mistakes. If you’ve crashed out, know that God is ready and happy to welcome you home. We pray this message helps you acknowledge what happened, admit what occurred, and accept the grace Jesus freely offers.

Every vehicle needs fuel or a charge to keep going—and as believers, we need to be continually refueled by the Holy Spirit to keep walking in faith. After an incredible Faith in the Fire V4 Conference, Pastor Tim Ross wrapped up the weekend with a powerful reminder that we aren’t flashlights—we’re flames! Through V4 Conference, we learned how to face fires that feel unfair to running boldly into the ones God calls us to. This message will help you stay on fire by staying filled with the Holy Spirit. We pray it reignites your flame and stirs a fresh hunger for more of Him.

WEEK 3: TRIGGERED // KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN: INCREASING THE WINDOW OF TOLERANCE // PASTOR MICHAEL TODD
We will never work on what we never recognize is an issue. Unaddressed triggers lead to a crash out.  In Week 3 of Triggered Pastor Michael Todd, we discovered that we all have a window of tolerance which is a zone that we can optimally function in when we manage our emotions properly.  Opposition and challenges keep our window of tolerance open. Opposition is not our enemy, it’s our authenticator! When we expand our relationship with discomfort, we grow in emotional maturity and increase our capacity to love, endure, and live like Christ.

Ephesians 4:1-4 NLT
Malachi 3:10 NLT
Galatians 6:1-3 NLT

Is your lack of emotional capacity shrinking your calling?There are people you are called to reach, but if your emotional capacity doesn’t make room for their differences, faults, and issues, you could be forfeiting your calling. In Week 2 of Triggered, Pastor Michael illustrated the need for believers to expand their emotional capacity so we can truly care for others and not be triggered by trivial things or personal pet peeves. Our goal is to grow in emotional maturity and make space for the people God has called us to. Remember: your triggers and your emotional capacity are calling you daily. Your capacity is your call!

We all have triggers rooted in trauma. When our triggers are unaddressed, they usually lead to a crash out. As Pastor returns from his sabbatical for  Week 1 of the Triggered: Finding Christ in the Crash Out sermon series, he shows us how our triggers are an invitation by God to transformation. In a world that has become great at confessing our issues, we must be ready to change them as well. We pray this message causes you to not fall for the traps of your triggers but lean into the transformation from your traumas.
