Active Faith | DCIO | Summer Kickoff 2026

Showing up is a start. But it's not enough. James 1:22-25 makes it clear — a faith that just listens and never acts is a faith that's fooling itself. In this talk we get honest about the difference between consuming content and actually changing, and what it looks like to build a faith that doesn't just show up on Sunday but works all week long.

You’re Not Far from God… You Just Stopped Listening | Tuned In

Ever feel like God is distant… silent… or just not responding?In Week 3 of Tuned In, we explore a powerful truth:👉 Maybe it’s not that God stopped speaking—maybe we stopped listening.Through Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 26, we discover that prayer isn’t about getting what we want—it’s about staying aligned with God’s voice.If prayer has ever felt frustrating, confusing, or one-sided… this message is for you.

How Do You Hear God’s Voice? | Tuned In | Week 1

There are a lot of voices competing for our attention every day — friends, social media, school, culture, and expectations about the future. But what about God? Does God still speak today? And if He does, how do we recognize His voice? In Week 1 of our Tuned In series, we explore the clearest place God speaks to us: Scripture. The Bible isn’t just an ancient book — it’s living and active, helping us understand God’s character, align our lives with His will, and grow in relationship with Him. If you’ve ever wondered whether God is silent, distant, or hard to hear, this message is for you.

God of the Mountain

Mountains and valleys come and go—but what happens when the things we trust fail us?In this message from Elijah’s story on Mount Carmel, we explore divided loyalty, silence as a decision, and why we need someone who can do what no one else can.

DCIO | Winter Games | (UN)SEEN Wk2

It’s a lot more motivating to be honest and have strong moral principles when we know people are watching. I mean, who doesn't love a little pat on the back when someone sees us doing the right thing?  But integrity—real integrity—is doing the right thing when no one is watching. We want that kind of life for our students and for ourselves. That’s why we’re kicking off the new year at IO with a message series called (Un)seen.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll be asking ourselves, Who do I want to be this year? We’ll talk about why integrity matters, how we can know what is true and right, and how Jesus makes it possible for us to walk with integrity.
