Roots of Faith

Listening for Pain vs. Listening for Debate Points

Have you ever walked away from a conversation knowing you ‘won’ the argument—but lost the person? Jesus never called us to score debate points—He called us to be salt in a world that’s rotting from the inside out. Today, we’re diving into what it means to hear the pain behind the words, to enter the hurt instead of avoiding the mess, and to minister in meekness rather than muscle. It’s time to trade quick comebacks for compassionate listening—and discover how Christ’s way changes hearts, starting with ours.

The Seed of the Word for the Soil of the Heart

What kind of soil is your heart? In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ Parable of the Sower and explore how the Word of God transforms lives—but only when the heart is ready to receive it. Discover how to break up hard ground, remove distractions, and cultivate a life that bears lasting spiritual fruit.

When Stones Must Speak

What does your silence say about your faith? In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Ken Gimmi opens Luke 19:36-40 to reflect on the triumphal entry of Jesus and the voices that praised Him—or remained silent. Explore the call to a living, speaking faith that testifies to the work and wonder of Christ in your life. Don’t let a stone out-praise you!

When the Walls Are Down

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, How did it get this broken? In today’s episode of Roots of Faith, we step into Nehemiah’s story and uncover deep spiritual truth for women who feel like they’re picking up pieces—of faith, family, or purpose. Just like Nehemiah didn’t start with a blueprint but with a burden, we too are called to rebuild where God has placed us. This episode challenges us to offer more than lip service—to offer our lives as living sacrifices, wholly and pleasing to God. If you’re in a season of reflection, or wondering what’s next, this message will stir your heart toward faithful service and spiritual renewal.

Prayer in the Midst of Brokenness

In this soul-stirring episode of Roots of Faith, we turn to Nehemiah’s response to brokenness and disgrace—not with outrage or action first, but with relentless, Spirit-led prayer. As we examine Nehemiah 1, we see how a heart broken over the testimony of God leads to revival, not shame. What breaks your heart today? The condition of the church? Your family? The world? God’s call is not to apathy or outrage, but to confession, intercession, and worshipful prayer. Discover how true restoration begins on our knees, with hearts fully surrendered to the God who does not change and who still restores.
