  • A Seat at the Table
    As we finish our series on "Killing the King" we are reminded that there isn't room for us to have any king other than King Jesus at the head of our table. In this episode, Travis talks about how Jesus invites everyone to have a seat at His table—no matter who they are or where they've been. Using the last supper and the rag tag bunch that had a seat at Jesus' table, he shows how God's love is open to all. It’s a reminder that we’re not gatekeepers—we’re inviters.

  • Killing the King - Pt. 4 (Being in Control)
    This week, Travis continues the Killing the King series with a powerful message from Daniel 4 on The King of Being in Control. We look at the life of King Nebuchadnezzar—arguably the most powerful man on earth at the time—and watch what happens when pride convinces him that he's untouchable.
    But the real danger isn’t ancient—it’s internal. Most of us aren’t ruling empires, but we’re still trying to run the show in our own lives. This message confronts the illusion of control, the weight of pride, and the freedom found when we finally lift our eyes to heaven and surrender.
    As Travis reminds us: “You’ll trust God with your eternity—because you have no better option. But faith is trusting Him now, while your hands still work and your voice still has a say.”

  • Killing the King - Pt. 3 (Being Right)
    In Part 3 of our Killing the King series, Travis unpacks the third face of pride—The King of Being Right. Drawing from James 1:19–21 and 4:6, this message challenges our obsession with winning arguments and proving our point, especially in marriage, leadership, and faith conversations. With insight from relational research, cultural trends, and a few painfully funny personal stories, we’re reminded that being right doesn’t make us righteous. Jesus didn’t come to be right—He came to make things right. And He’s still inviting us to lay down our pride and walk in humility.

  • Killing the King - Pt. 2 (Feeling Good)
    Last week we began our series titled "Killing the King." This series of talks is designed to identify and tackle the problem of pride. Last week we discussed the face of Pride we call 'Looking Good.' This week we talk about the face of pride we like to call 'Feeling Good.' This face of pride may seem harmless, enjoyable, and even sometimes justified but when we allow feeling good to become the basis of our decision-making we could be in jeopardy of trading out what God will provide for what brings instant gratification.

  • Killing the King - Pt. 1 (Looking Good)
    In today's episode we begin a new 4 week series about "Killing the King."
    With the headlines on the news, and the rhetoric being passed around the political system we may be tempted to think of an individual or a group when we mention "The King." Instead of looking at an individual, in this series we are looking at Pride, which often acts as a king in our life and tries to dictate our every move.

  • Dangerous and Good (Father's Day 2025)
    On one of the most culturally overlooked Sundays of the year, Pastor Travis delivers a powerful message to the men of Wilderness Church—calling them to become the kind of men who are dangerous in all the right ways and good in all the ways that matter.
    Rooted in Exodus 20:5–6, 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, and Psalm 133:1, this message speaks to men across every generation—especially those carrying a father wound or wondering if it's too late to change their story.
    From generational legacy to spiritual surrender to brotherhood through shared experience, Travis invites every man to follow the ultimate model of strength and sacrifice—Jesus.
    This is more than a Father's Day sermon. It's a call to become who you were made to be.

  • Don't Waste your Summer
    In this summer kickoff message, Travis challenges us to resist spiritual drift and embrace the margin of the season with purpose. Drawing from Ephesians 5:15–17, we’re reminded to live wisely, make the most of every opportunity, and stay spiritually engaged even when schedules loosen. With stories, Scripture, and practical application, this message invites us to rest with purpose, reinvest in relationships, refocus spiritually, and respond to the everyday opportunities God places in our path. Don’t just enjoy this summer—steward it.

  • Lord and Savior - Jarrod Hill
    We often recognize or know people by their attributes or our limited experiences with them. The same is true for our relationship with God. We read about, hear about, and sing about the different attributes of God but what about the wholeness of who He is? What about the person of Jesus and the characteristics of god that He holds? In this talk Jarrod Hill emphasizes how we can often fixate on Jesus as our Savior and forget to let Him lead our life as Lord.

  • Telling your Story (With Special Guest Yogi)
    No matter what your life has looked like, if you are a born again believer in Jesus you have a story to tell. Often times we believe the lie that our story isn't useful, but no matter what your journey to faith looks like God can use the story that He's given you to encourage or convict others.
    In this episode you will hear from our dear friend Yogi Dalge. Yogi was born in Ethiopia and realized at a young age that he would be disabled. As Yogi shares His story it is evident that God worked continuously in His life.

  • Intentional Legacy
    On this Mother’s Day, Travis unpacks the power of legacy—not just for moms, but for anyone who wants to live a life that points others to Jesus. Drawing from the story of Timothy and the quiet faithfulness of his mother and grandmother, we’re reminded that legacy is not built through fame, but through everyday faith. Whether you’re a parent, mentor, or spiritual leader, your life leaves a mark—and God promises that the seeds you plant today will produce fruit in His time.
