When You're Anxious or Afraid (Full Sermon)

Going Deeper: When You're Anxious and Affraid (with Austin Payne)

When fear and anxiety feel overwhelming, Psalm 46 reminds us that God is not distant from our trouble—He is present in the middle of it. This message looks at what it means to bring our fear honestly before God and discover that peace comes not from control, but from knowing Him in the shaking. Anxiety is not the opposite of faith; it is often exactly where faith begins.

When You're Anxious or Afraid (Full Sermon)

Anxiety is not a sign of weak faith. Psalm 46 points us to a God who is a present help, not a distant solution — and invites us into a stillness that is trust, not denial. Fear is not the absence of faith; it is often the starting point. Psalm 91 does not minimize danger–it places the fearful in the shelter of the God who promises to be with us. Honest to God Lens: God is not a distant solution — He is a present help, and that changes everything. From our "Honest To God" series • Austin Payne

Going Deeper: When You Want to Pretend (with Danny Strange)

In this episode, we continue our Honest to God series with Psalm 62 and the reminder that God is our rock when life feels unstable. We talk about what it means to stop pretending we’re fine, honestly pour out our hearts to God, and speak His promises back to our souls when fear and anxiety take hold. When everything around us is shaking, we can run to the rock, stand firm on the rock, and find refuge in Christ.

When You Want to Pretend (Full Sermon)

God has never asked for our polished performance — He asks for our hearts. This week opens everything: honest prayer is not a crisis of faith, it is the doorway the entire Psalms hold open.

Going Deeper: Restoration (with Ryan Suzuki)

In this episode of the 3Crosses Podcast, we unpack James 5:19–20 and the danger of slowly wandering from the truth, exploring how even small “1 degree” drifts can eventually lead us far from God and His people. We talk about what it looks like to lovingly pursue those who are wandering, following the example of Jesus, the Good Shepherd who never stops going after the lost. As we wrap up our James series and look ahead to Psalms, this conversation reminds us that living a single-minded life is not just personal — it’s about pursuing and protecting one another in community.
