The Breakdown | The Trophy Lied To You

The Breakdown | The Trophy Lied To You

What are you giving your life to—and will it still matter years from now? This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down the message "The Trophy Lied To You," rooted in John 13, John 13:34–35, and 1 John 4:10–11, 19. Their conversation explores the pursuit of success, recognition, and achievement, and why so many of the things people spend their lives chasing fail to deliver lasting significance. Looking at Jesus washing His disciples' feet, they discuss how love is more than an emotion—it is a decision to move toward people. They also unpack what it means to live for something that outlasts accomplishments, awards, and personal success. If you've ever wondered whether you're investing your life in what truly matters, this conversation will challenge you to rethink success and embrace the kind of love Jesus modeled.

The Trophy Lied To You

Remember that trophy in that one box in the attic? What was it for? Do you remember? In "The Trophy Lied To You," Pastor James encourages us to consider not giving our lives to things that someone will one day say, "What was this all about?" We want our lives to count, to ache for something more, and Jesus demonstrates in John 13 that love is the decision to move towards people, not merely an emotion.

The Breakdown | Who Told You That Was Your Title?

Who are you allowing to title your story? This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "Who Told You That Was Your Title?" rooted in Genesis 45:1–13 and 2 Corinthians 1:3–4. They talk about how Joseph could have defined himself by what happened to him—rejected, forgotten, or betrayed—but instead chose to see God's hand at work through the pain. Together, they unpack how past wounds, failures, and labels can shape the way we see ourselves, and why God's perspective is greater than the titles others place on us. What if the hardest chapters of your story are not your identity, but part of how God is preparing you to help others? If you've been carrying a label that God never gave you, this conversation will help you see your story through the lens of His faithfulness and purpose.
