Descripción

Have you ever noticed how much work goes into making a moment feel magical? From the carefully designed world of Disney to the warm smile of a greeter at your church door, someone always prepared the way before you arrived. In this week's message, we explore one of the most clarifying ideas in all of Scripture — that our deepest purpose isn't just to find Jesus ourselves, but to clear the path so others can find and follow Him too. Drawing from Luke 3, we look at the life of John the Baptist — a man who wasn't famous, wasn't a headliner, but whose singular mission was to remove every obstacle standing between people and Jesus. Filled-in valleys. Leveled mountains. Straightened roads. All so that all people could see the salvation of God. That's still the heart of the church today. Whether you're serving behind a soundboard, leading a small group, welcoming a nervous first-time guest, or investing in the next generation through Kids' Ministry — you are preparing the way. And it matters more than you know. In this episode, you'll be encouraged to: * Discover the powerful purpose behind every role in the church * Identify the barriers — personal and communal — that make Jesus harder to find * Take a practical next step toward living on mission right where you are Following Jesus isn't always easy. But finding Him should be. Let's do the work together.

When Now Invades the Future

You're living in someone else's answer to prayer right now. The inheritance somebody left. The sacrifice somebody made. The well somebody dug. You didn't earn it — you just showed up and started drawing from it. And here's the question that should keep you up at night: What are you digging for somebody who hasn't shown up yet? Every choice you make right now is quietly invading someone's future. That's not a concept. That's a reality. And it raises a pretty important question: What are you paying the price for today that future generations will still be drawing from? In this episode, we dig into John 4 and the story of the woman at the well — a tired Savior, a broken woman, and a well dug nearly 2,000 years before that moment by a man named Jacob who had no idea what God was setting up. Jacob just had a need. God had a legacy in mind. We're not just talking about buying land or putting up a building. We're talking about doing the kind of hard work — the hand-dug, no-guarantees, nobody-pats-you-on-the-back kind of work — so that people who haven't even been born yet can encounter Jesus in a real and life-changing way.

Forgotten God - Who's Guiding You?

A good guide makes all the difference. When Jason went deer hunting with a guide, he expected a doe — and ended up with a 140-class buck. The right guide put him in a better place than he ever would've found on his own. In this final episode of our current series, we're asking the question that shapes everything else: Who — or what — is guiding your life? Your emotions? Your desires? The world's opinion? Or the Holy Spirit? Drawing from Galatians 5, Jason walks through one of the most honest and uncomfortable assessment tools in all of Scripture. Paul lays it out plainly — the works of the flesh versus the fruit of the Spirit — and it doesn't take long to see which list is doing the guiding in your life. The good news? The Spirit doesn't ask you to will yourself into a better version of you. He simply invites you to spend time with Him. If life feels like a fight right now, this episode is for you. And if it doesn't feel like a fight at all — this episode might be especially for you.

Forgotten God - Mind Games

The further you go, the louder the voices get. In team roping, the first round feels good — calm, confident, competing like you belong. But when the pressure hits and the money's on the line? That's when the mind games start. I can't. I'm a fraud. I'm not good enough. I'm about to get exposed. Sound familiar? Those aren't just roping problems. That's the enemy's playbook — and he's running it in every area of your life. In this episode of Forgotten God, we're talking about one of the most overlooked things the Holy Spirit actually does for us — He changes the way we think. We dig into Romans 8 and get honest about the thought patterns keeping us stuck. The lies we've believed so long they feel like truth. The rules we keep trying to follow that only make things worse. The sins we've justified because it's just the way we're wired — or at least that's what we keep telling ourselves. Here's the reality: you are not a victim of what's in your head. You are controlled by what you give control to. And the Holy Spirit came to change exactly that — breaking sin's power by giving us a completely new way to think. You're one new thought pattern away from a new life. This conversation is for anyone fighting a failing marriage, struggling as a parent, losing the battle with a sin that won't quit, or just tired of believing a lie. The Spirit is ready to expose what's false and replace it with what's true. Are you ready to let Him?

Forgotten God - Power Up

We've all felt it — the moments in life where we're running on empty. The marriage that's struggling. The parenting season that has you wondering if you're doing it right. The temptation you keep losing to. The hurt you just can't shake. What if Jesus already gave you exactly what you need to face all of it? This week, we're diving into one of the most overlooked gifts in the Christian life: the power of the Holy Spirit. Like a power-up in your favorite video game — the super mushroom that helps you grow, the shield that protects you, the fire flower that burns up what's trying to destroy you — the Holy Spirit is God's provision for every challenge we face. We'll walk through the story of Pentecost in Acts 2, discover how God's promise in Ezekiel 36 points to something He always planned to give us, and learn why Acts 1:8 changes everything about how we live, love, and serve. The power isn't just for miracles. It's for your marriage. Your kids. Your career. The person who hurt you. The bitterness you're carrying. The fear that has you stuck. God put His Spirit in you so you don't have to do this life alone — and this episode is a reminder not to forget the greatest source of power you have. Ready to power up? Let's go.

Forgotten God

You remember God the Father. You know Jesus. But when was the last time you woke up and said, "Holy Spirit, lead my life today"? The Holy Spirit is the most overlooked person of the Trinity — and He may be the most essential gift Jesus ever prayed for you to have. In this message, we dig into what Jesus himself said about the Spirit: why He came, what He does, and why the enemy works so hard to make Him seem strange or unnecessary. The truth is, the same Spirit that brought order to chaos in Genesis is ready to lead you through whatever chaos you're facing right now. You were never meant to do this life on your own power. If you've been drifting, striving, or just feeling stuck — this one's for you. It's time to stop ignoring the greatest source of everything you need to navigate this life for Jesus.
