Episode 031 - Prayer Changes Everything

Prayer is one of the most misunderstood disciplines in Christianity. Many believers reserve prayer for emergencies while neglecting the daily relationship God desires. In this message, Pastor Devin challenges the modern mindset that prayer is optional and reminds us that prayer is where strength, power, wisdom, direction, and spiritual growth are found. Through Scripture, examples from Jesus, Paul, Daniel, and the disciples, this message explores why prayer matters, how prayer builds the spirit man, why some battles require prayer and fasting, and how a life surrendered to God's will opens the door to greater levels of His power and presence.

Episode 030 | God is the Source

Part four of Coaching Kids focuses on helping children discover how God uniquely wired them. This message challenges parents to stop forcing kids into predetermined molds and instead become pioneers, helping them discover their gifts, talents, strengths, and calling. God is the source of every ability, every talent, and every opportunity, and parenting is the process of helping children discover what He has already placed inside them. This teaching also tackles one of the biggest lies in modern culture: that a person's value comes from what they do. Instead, believers are called to anchor their self-worth in God while developing their work worth through training, discipline, and growth. It's a practical message about competence, purpose, perseverance, and giving God glory for every success.

From friendships and gratitude to social media, compassion, words, and inner circles, this teaching gets deeply practical about how parents shape the way children think about people, relationships, and community.

This message is a direct call for parents and grandparents to become intentional with their time, their talk, and the truth they build into their children.

What does it actually mean for a child to “win” in life?

Through Deuteronomy chapter six, this message challenges parents and grandparents to become intentional with their time, their talk, and the truth they impress upon the next generation.
