Stay Curious | Chris Conrad

Ever wonder what’s really going on inside your soul?Sometimes our outward reactions—whether it's an explosion of road rage or a sudden burst of frustration—are just surface symptoms of a deeper, underlying issue. In this message, "Getting Curious," Chris Conrad challenges us to look beneath the surface of our behaviors, fears, and habits to discover what is driving them.Just like a physical condition can cause mixed-up signals in our bodies, our spiritual lives can get their wires crossed. Through the lives of Moses and Simon the Sorcerer, we see how unaddressed internal struggles can limit how fully God can use us. But the good news? A loving Heavenly Father isn't looking to condemn you—He is inviting you to get curious about your soul so the Holy Spirit can bring true healing.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

The Map to True Masculinity | Jason Holdridge

Has society—and even the church—accidentally traded masculine strength for passivity?In this powerful Father’s Day message, we dive deep into "Peter’s Masculine Pilgrimage" to discover what true, God-honoring masculinity looks like. Pulling insights from John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, we explore how Jesus didn't call "nice guys" to follow Him; He called messy, passionate, and forceful men to lay hold of the Kingdom of Heaven.By looking at the life of the Apostle Peter, we trace the map that every man must walk—from ambition and brokenness to becoming deep, Spirit-filled, and truly courageous.If you are a man looking for a second chance, or if you're tired of trying to just be a "good boy," this message is for you.📖 Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 50:20Matthew 11:12Matthew 4:18-20 (The Ambitious Man)Matthew 14:28-31 (The Passionate Man)Matthew 16:21-23 (The Adversarial Man)Matthew 18:21-22 (The Bitter Man)Matthew 19:27-30 (The Conditional Man)Matthew 26:33-35 (The Inflated Man)John 18:10-11 (The Reactive Man)Luke 22:54 (The Distant Man)Luke 22:56-63 (The Broken Man)John 21:15-17 (The Deep Man)Acts 4:8-13 (The Spirit-Filled & Courageous Man)1 Peter 5:6-8 (The Humble Man)"The most critical need of the church at this moment is men—bold men, good men, free men." — A.

How the Enemy Baits You (And How to Stand Firm) | Jon Bell

Are you being set up? In this week of our series, "Encounters with Jesus," we dive into Matthew 4 to look at the infamous showdown between Jesus and the devil in the wilderness. Often, we think temptation is just about breaking rules—but it’s actually a calculated attack on our identity. When you are hungry, tired, and isolated, you become a sitting duck for the enemy. Through the three specific traps laid for Jesus, we discover the exact blueprint the enemy uses against us today: the temptation to be satisfied, the temptation to be awesome, and the temptation to be powerful. If the enemy wanted to catch you, what bait would he use? Watch to learn how to identify the triggers, illusions, and rationalizations of temptation, and how to stand firm on the truth of God's Word. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages to help you grow in your faith 💬 We’d love to hear from you!

Why Jesus Refused to Throw the Stone | Ryan Kresge

In this message, we dive into one of the most dramatic, publicly charged encounters in all of the Gospels: The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1–11).When the self-righteous religious leaders tried to use a woman's shame as a weapon to trap Jesus, He flipped the script. Instead of throwing a stone, He stooped to her level, silenced her accusers, and offered her something completely unexpected: scandalous grace paired with a call to holiness.If you are carrying a label the world gave you—"damaged," "failure," "not good enough"—this video is a reminder that the enemy wants to condemn you, but Jesus wants to consecrate you.Key Takeaways from This Message:The Trap of Self-Righteousness: Why it’s so easy to become an expert at spotting other people's brokenness to avoid dealing with our own.Condemnation vs. Consecration: Condemnation says you are what you did and labels you unfit for use. Consecration says you belong to God and you are deeply valuable.Grace First, Freedom Next: Why trying to "white-knuckle" holiness without first experiencing real grace will only turn you into a Pharisee.Scripture References:John 7:53–8:11Philippians 2:6-8Matthew 5:27-291 Corinthians 6:18Romans 8:1-2Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

How Jesus Treats Kids | Jason Holdridge

You can tell a lot about a leader by the way they treat children. In a culture that often views kids as a distraction or a "chore," Jesus did something radical: He stopped His mission, rebuked His disciples, and placed children at the very top of the social ladder.In this message, we dive into Mark 10 and Matthew 18 to discover why Jesus fiercely protected and cherished the next generation. Churches rarely die first in the sanctuary—they begin to die in the nursery. That's why we don't just offer childcare; we provide soul-care. We aren't babysitting youngsters; we are shepherding future adults.If you've ever wondered what makes a church truly "alive," it starts with a messy, loud, and beautiful investment in our kids.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome
