In this episode, guest speaker Devin Sparks brings a raw and unscripted message straight from what God laid on his heart. Starting in Genesis chapter 1, he unpacks how God took something without form, void, and covered in darkness and transformed it into the beauty of all creation — in just one chapter. And he believes God did that intentionally, to show us what He can do in our lives when we let Him in.

But here's the hard part: transformation starts when God says "Let there be light." Unlike the rest of creation, we have the ability to say no. We can choose to stay hidden in the dark rather than let God expose and heal the areas that need His touch.

Devin gets personal about his own battles with bitterness, depression, anxiety, and the painful but freeing process of letting God's light shine into those deep places. He challenges us to stop kicking dirt over the things God is trying to address and instead come honestly and openly before Him — because that's what it really means to "come boldly before the throne."

If you're carrying something heavy today, this message is for you.
