It Starts With Me

Fatherhood That Flourishes

As we continue our Habits of the Household series, we turn our attention to the biblical calling of fatherhood. In this message from Psalm 128, we explore God's vision for flourishing fathers and flourishing families, discovering how a father's walk with Jesus shapes the home, influences the next generation, and leaves a lasting legacy of faith. Whether you're a dad, hope to be one someday, or simply want to know your Heavenly Father more deeply, this message offers encouragement and practical wisdom for every household.

I Get It From My Mama

Motherhood is one of the most powerful forms of discipleship. In this message from our Habits of the Household series, Emily Woodard shares from 2 Timothy 1 and explores four characteristics of a life that influences others for Christ: compassion, connection, calling, and contending. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, mentor, or simply someone seeking to make disciples, this message will encourage you to faithfully pass on your faith to the next generation.

Patterns of Godly Parenting

Today we begin the parenting portion of our Habits of the Household series as we explore what it means to build a home shaped by the principles of God. Looking at Proverbs 3, we discover three patterns that can transform the way we lead our families: trusting God, fearing God, and honoring God. Whether you're raising young children, parenting teenagers, influencing grandchildren, or simply seeking to create a Christ-centered home, this message offers practical wisdom and encouragement for every stage of life.

Interview on Marriage

This week in Habits of the Household, Pastor Mike sits down with Darin and Shannon White for an honest and hope-filled conversation about marriage after 32 years together. From early expectations and painful seasons to rebuilding trust, communication, parenting, and keeping Christ at the center, this interview offers practical wisdom and real encouragement for every stage of marriage. Whether your marriage feels strong, strained, or somewhere in between, this conversation is a reminder that with God’s help, healthy marriages are built one intentional choice at a time.

A Martha Marriage

In this message from Habits of the Household, we explore how the health of a marriage is deeply connected to the presence of God. Looking at the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, we discover how easy it is for our relationships to become consumed by schedules, responsibilities, distractions, and the endless demands of life—while quietly neglecting what matters most. If marriage was designed by God to be spiritual, what happens when we drain the spirituality from it? This message challenges couples to identify the signs of a “Martha marriage,” reclaim godly priorities, and choose the presence of Jesus over the pressure of busyness—because good marriages can survive, but great marriages are built in the presence of God.
