Pastor Geoff sits down with Phil Joel - longtime Newsboys bassist and vocalist, founder of Zealand, and author of "Redwoods and Whales" - for stories and a conversation about why God is drawn to humility: a ring hidden in underground tunnels, the story behind "End of the World," and the song Phil wrote for the Trail of Death documentary.

Hard Work | I Want Greener Grass - Week 1 | June 28, 2026

Unexpected Question | Plot Twist - Week 6 | June 21, 2026

Case File 6: Detective's Log Some questions don't just stop you cold - they shake the whole case wide open. In the final chapter of Plot Twist, Pastor Geoff Eckart takes us to the darkest crime scene in history: the cross. And there, in his greatest moment of suffering, Jesus utters something nobody saw coming - "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" It doesn't add up. Not on the surface. But dig deeper and the evidence points to something written a thousand years earlier - a Psalm so precise in its detail, so uncanny in its parallels, it could only have one author. The clues were there all along. We just had to know where to look. Then the case takes another turn. It's Father's Day, and every man in the room gets a new assignment. Geoff's father-in-law takes the stand with a piece that'll stop you in your tracks. And when the dust settles, there's a challenge on the table for every man willing to pick it up: eleven ways to become the courageous man God put you here to be. Two messages. One unforgettable morning.   Case Closed. --------------------------------------------- Daybreak | June 21, 2026 Plot Twist | Week 6 Unexpected Question | Geoff Eckart ----------------------------------------------- 0:00 – Intro & Father's Day Welcome 4:08 – Week 6 of Plot Twist: Series Overview 6:32 – Jesus on the Cross — Matthew 27 8:00 – Psalm 22 Parallels to the Crucifixion 11:18 – A Song on His Lips: What Jesus' Words Really Mean 12:26 – Father's Day Reflection & Jerry Brecheisen Introduction 14:14 – Jerry Brecheisen Reads "I Am a Grandpa" 17:16 – Prayer Over Fathers 19:47 – 11 Ways to Become a Courageous Man 20:43 – #1: Trust God More Than Yourself 21:17 – #2: Treat Women with Respect 22:15 – #3: Don't Quit Once You Start 24:28 – #4: Be Honest with Someone About Who You Really Are 25:10 – #5: Go to Church Every Week 29:10 – #6: Identify Fear and Refuse to Give In 29:43 – #7: Base Your Life on Choices, Not Feelings 30:32 – #8: Learn from Another Man Who Loves God 31:02 – #9: Work Hard 31:19 – #10: Take Care of Your Body 31:52 – #11: Never Make Excuses 32:43 – Closing Challenge & Prayer ------------------------------------------------ Scripture Referenced: Matthew 27.46 Psalm 22.1 Psalm 22.7 Psalm 22.14-15 Psalm 22.16 Psalm 22.17-18 Psalm 22.31 John 19.28 Proverbs 3.5-6 ------------------------------------------------ #DaybreakChurch #GeoffEckart #PlotTwist #Jesus #UnexpectedQuestion #FathersDay #Psalm22 #ChurchOnline

Unexpected Anger | Plot Twist - Week 5 | June 14, 2026

The Chosen clip featured in this message is from Season 5, Episode 2. Watch The Chosen here: https://watch.thechosen.tv/seasons/season-5 Case File 5: Detective's Log The temple was supposed to be sacred ground. But somebody had turned it into a racket. In week five of Plot Twist, Pastor Geoff Eckart pulls back the curtain on one of the most explosive moments in Scripture - a scene so raw, so unexpected, it shows up in all four Gospels. Jesus walked into the temple courts that day and didn't like what He found. Tables flipped. Coins scattered. Doves flying. And a city that should have known better. But this wasn't just a man losing His temper. This was something calculated. Something righteous. Something that had been building since before the foundation of the world. The question isn't whether Jesus got angry. The question is what are you doing with your anger? --------------------------------------------- Daybreak | June 14, 2026 Plot Twist | Week 5 Unexpected Anger | Geoff Eckart ----------------------------------------------- 0:00 – What Annoys You? 4:17 – Prayer for NTS & Summer Camps 6:28 – The Temple Cleansing 9:48 – What Made Jesus So Angry? 11:17 – Jesus Wept First: Compassion Before Action 13:40 – Seeing Deeper Than the Surface 15:25 – The Court of the Gentiles & the Extortion System 17:25 – Four Stages of Anger 20:11 – Godly Anger vs. Human Anger: Jesus Had a Plan 23:45 – A House of Prayer for All Nations 25:09 – Called to Be Bridge Builders, Not Bridge Blockers 29:13 – Closing Prayer ------------------------------------------------ Scripture Referenced: Matthew 21.12–13 Mark 11.15–18 Luke 19.41–46 John 2.13–16 Isaiah 56.6–7 Exodus 19.3–6 ------------------------------------------------ #DaybreakChurch #GeoffEckart #PlotTwist #Jesus #UnexpectedAnger #TheChosen
