From the very beginning, humanity has believed a dangerous lie—the idea that someone else has to make us feel whole, loved, or worthy. The “Make Me” Myth says, “You have to make me happy, make me better, make me feel valuable.” But when we depend on people to do what only God can do, we end up disappointed, disconnected, and drained. In this eye-opening message, we’ll look back to the Garden of Eden to uncover how that lie first took root, and how it still affects the way we interact with other people’s souls today. Our relationships were never meant to carry the full weight of our identity—they’re meant to reflect the love of the One who already made us complete.

What do you do when your emotions are heavy, your heart is tired, and you’re just trying to “feel better”? In 2 Samuel 21:10, we see Rizpah, a mother who sat on the rock day and night, grieving but refusing to give up. Her story is raw, emotional, and powerful—showing us what it looks like to hold on to faith even when our hearts are breaking. This message speaks directly to the struggle of emotional exhaustion and the desire to find peace again. God doesn’t ignore your pain—He meets you in it, and restores strength to your soul.

Your thoughts shape your life. Left unchecked, toxic thinking can pull you away from God’s truth, distort your perspective, and keep you stuck in defeat. But God’s Word shows us how to take control of our minds and walk in freedom. In 2 Corinthians 10:3, Paul reminds us that though we live in the world, our weapons are not of the world—we have divine power to demolish strongholds in our thinking. And in Matthew 16:22, Peter’s misguided thoughts show how even good intentions can become toxic when they’re not aligned with God’s plan.

When was the last time you checked in on your soul? In Luke 10:38, Martha was busy and distracted while Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet. And in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Paul prays for our whole spirit, soul, and body to be kept blameless. Together, these verses remind us that what happens in our soul shapes everything about our lives. In this message, we’ll learn how to trace the trouble in our soul—identifying where worry, restlessness, or brokenness have taken root—and how to invite God’s healing presence into those deep places. Your soul matters to God. Don’t ignore the trouble—trace it back, bring it to Him, and let Him make you whole again.

Not every battle you face is visible. The Bible reminds us in 2 Timothy 3:1-8 that in the last days, dangerous times will come—filled with deception, pride, and spiritual opposition. These aren’t just surface-level struggles; they reveal the work of an unseen enemy trying to pull us away from God’s truth. In this eye-opening message, we’ll uncover the tactics of the unseen enemy and learn how to stand firm in faith, resist deception, and walk in victory through Christ.
