Weekend Messages from Jacob's Well

The Biggest Risk

We've talked about risky behaviors, unhealthy comforts, and the wisdom of taking a break. But this weekend, Pastor Paul challenges us to consider the biggest risk of all: forgetting Jesus while pursuing everything else we think will make us whole.

Numb

What are you turning to when life gets hard—and what might it be costing you? This weekend, Paul explores how many of us use things like gambling, technology, cannabis, shopping, or other habits to numb pain, only to discover we're also numbing ourselves to joy, relationships, growth, and God.

I'm Taking A Break

This week in Risky, Pastor Paul challenges us to consider what might happen if we simply took a break. Together with UW–Eau Claire behavioral neuroscientist Dr. Doug Matthews, we'll explore how wisdom, habits, and the choices we make can either move us toward greater freedom—or quietly take more from us than we realize.

Choices & Consequences

A powerful message about the choices that shape us, the things that quietly control us, and the hope of finding a different way forward. Through raw honesty and scripture, Perry Polnaszek invites us to wrestle with what’s really driving our lives.

Dopamine Dilemma

Pastor Paul opens our new series Risky with a personal message about alcohol, dopamine, addiction, and the subtle ways risky behaviors can begin to master our lives. We’re invited to ask not just “Is it allowed?” but “Is it wise?” and discover what it looks like to live whole, healthy, and truly free in Christ.
