In this message from Colossians 1:10-14, Pastor Bruce Mulford unpacks how believers are called not just to be saved, but to walk in a way that reflects Christ through bearing fruit, growing in a deeper knowledge of God, being strengthened by His power, and living with a heart of gratitude. This sermon is a powerful reminder that we have been rescued, redeemed, and reconciled for a purpose, and challenges us to live in a way that truly reflects all that Christ has done for us.

What are you doing with the burdens you’re carrying right now? In this message from Galatians 6:1-5, Dr. Tom Cheyney walks through the reality that not every burden is meant to be handled the same way. Some are meant to be shared with others in love, some must be personally shouldered with responsibility, and others are meant to be surrendered fully to the Lord. This sermon speaks directly to the weight many believers feel and offers clear, biblical direction on how to care for others while also trusting God with what only He can carry, reminding us that we were never meant to walk through life alone.

Grief can feel like a storm—especially for children and families who don’t know where to turn. In this episode of Vitality Conversations, Rana sits down with her longtime friend Tamari Miller, a grief-support leader with over 25 years of experience, to talk about hope, healing, and why community matters after loss.

Tamari shares the heart behind her new nonprofit, The Umbrella Project—a mobile grief support program created to remove barriers like transportation, cost, and awareness so families can access support right in their own communities. Together, Rana and Tamari discuss why grief is a journey (not an incident), how play helps children process trauma, and why caregivers need support too.

You’ll also hear the powerful meaning behind the name Umbrella Project: something that covers you in the storm so you can keep walking forward—one step at a time.

This conversation is for anyone navigating loss, supporting a grieving family, or looking for practical ways to bring comfort, dignity, and hope in the middle of heartbreak.

In this message, Pastor Paul Dillow challenges believers to go the “second mile” — not out of obligation, but out of obedience to Jesus. Scripture reminds us that real impact happens when we go beyond what’s expected and reflect Christ in our everyday actions, attitudes, and relationships.

Whether you’re strong in prayer or struggling to stay faithful, this message will encourage you to seek God with confidence and expectation.

Is AI something to fear…or a tool you can use wisely with your family and faith? In this episode of Vitality Conversations, Rana sits down with career coach and leadership facilitator Debbie Goldbarth to unpack what artificial intelligence really is and how it’s already woven into our everyday lives—from maps and search engines to Canva, Planning Center, and more. 

Together they talk about why AI is “just a tool,” how to steward it like any other technology, and the ethical guardrails believers can use to stay grounded in God’s truth. Debbie walks through the A.B.I.D.E. framework—Accountability, Bias awareness, Image of God, Dependence on God, and Edification—to help you filter how you and your kids engage with AI for school, work, creativity, and even fun family nights. 

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, curious, or a little nervous about AI, this life-giving conversation will help you move from fear to discernment—so you can stay relevant to today’s culture without compromising your values, and keep living on mission in a digital world. 

Are you living with the expectation that something greater is ahead? In this message, Pastor Paul Dillow walks through Genesis 24 to remind us that God is always at work preparing His people—calling hearts, guiding steps, and inviting a willing response as we learn what it means to be ready for the wedding He has promised.
