Are you feeling spiritually dull, lacking sharpness in your life? Pastor Mike draws from the tale of the young versus the older lumberjack to illustrate the significance of a sharpened ax. This message serves as a reminder: it's time to get your edge back! The pathway to staying sharp this year lies in the practice of prayer and fasting. This sermon delves into techniques for regaining your edge: embracing food exit, engaging with the Father, forfeiting entertainment, and directing our focus toward the eternal. Welcome to your best year yet!

Merry Christmas, TC Nation! This week, we wrap up our series-within-a-series, End In Triumph, with Pastor Mike, who invites us to revisit the story of Christmas with a new lens that God is with us even in our mess. Pastor Mike teaches us three key things from the Christmas story: Triumph is usually wrapped in trauma, favor can be wrapped in foolishness, and promises can be wrapped in pain. Christmas is the beginning of evidence that Christ is willing to do anything to get us back. If you need an encouraging word this Christmas, this message is for you!

In Week 9 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed series, we revisit session 5 of VIIID conference, where Tye Tribett takes a Master class approach on bondage, warning us to be cautious of what we take in during moments of vulnerability, for during these times the enemy will use deception as a tactic toward your desires. Prayer is essential to become acquainted with the right voice to guide you in helpless times. Are there moods, spirits, and ideas you've accepted that God needs to check? We encourage you to bring them before God, not by your might or your power, but by God's Spirit in which deliverance comes.

What does the Bible say about counseling? In Week 7 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed, Pastor Mike sat down with part of his community counsel to help us remove the scare from counseling and remind us that it is SAFE. This dynamic panel walked us through the scriptures, taught us about the different types of counsel, and shared their experience with licensed therapy. Counseling is not just to get rid of trauma but it allows you to uncover your God-given treasure. Pastor Mike leaves us with a call to action to attend at least 3 counseling sessions by the end of April 2024. Will you accept the challenge to go from trauma to triumph?
