  34. Ryan Oakes's Final Message (2/4)

  35. God's Call // An Update from Ryan Oakes (1/21)

    Ryan shares an important update and a candid reflection on discerning God’s voice in seasons of change. In this episode, Ryan shares how faithfulness in the present, shared peace and godly counsel, and the call to “go and tell” shape the way we follow God’s leading. A timely conversation about...

  36. Courageous Parenting: Tricia Patterson

    It takes courage to build your family God’s way in a world that’s forgotten His blueprint. Tricia Patterson unpacks Psalm 127, reminding us that parents are warriors—called to shape, sharpen, and send out their children like arrows into the world. She encourages us (parents), to build our home…

  37. Student Testimony: Esmi Wilson

  38. Student Testimony: Brady Kidd

  39. The Wrong Kind of Zeal // Zealous Worship Night // Ryan Oakes (12/1)

    In our zeal and excitement, it’s easy for us to want to go and that’s great! Go! Do! Share! Tell! But if we form wrong judgments, we communicate: that your behavior determines God’s love; your performance earns or loses His approval; you need to be good enough before you matter. AND THAT'S NOT...

  40. Waiting on the Lord // Christmas Midweek // Ryan Oakes (HS - 12/3)

    Sometimes, it’s easy to lose sight of how big of a deal Jesus’ birth truly was. I mean sure, we understand its a big deal because of the Gospel, but on this side of the cross, we can miss out on the value of the waiting that had to take place in the hearts of those who came before the birth of...

  41. His Name Shall Be // Everlasting Father // Katie deMasi (MS - 12/3)

    Christmas is easy to celebrate and still miss the point. In this Advent message from Katie, we slow down and look at one of the most surprising titles given to Jesus: Everlasting Father. Long before trees, lights, and traditions, Isaiah promised a child who would carry the very heart of the…

  42. Shalom 2025 – Session 3: The Transformation from the Secret Place, Ryan Oakes

    Time with Jesus transforms ordinary lives into lives that overflow with boldness, purpose, and the presence of Jesus. Acts 3:4 - 4:13 How do the hard parts of your life, the pressure-filled moments reveal what you truly believe? How can abiding in the presence of Jesus change the way you respond…

  43. Shalom 2025 - Session 2: The "How" of the Secret Place, Jordan Greer

    "I am in charge of showing up and making space – God is in charge of transformation" We do apologize for the audio cutting out at the end. Below are the Seven Ways Jesus was Transformed in the Secret Place: Major Decision - Luke 6:12 - Jesus prayed all night before calling His disciples. Rest and...

  44. Shalom 2025 - Session 1: Hide in the Secret Place, Braya Choquette

    Shalom comes from being in the secret place because peace is inseparable from God’s Presence. The secret place is…. How we experience God’s presence. How we engage with the darkness of the world. How we are transformed.

  45. Voices of Fire // Hosea 14 // MaeKayla Effinger (HS - 11/19)

    What Hosea means for us in light of the Gospel: We still repent when we sin, but now we know we are not enslaved to it. We cannot free ourselves from sin, only Jesus can. God remains consistently Just and Merciful.

  46. His Name Shall Be // Our Wonderful Counselor // Nathan Slonaker (MS - 11/19)

    Gen Z is overwhelmed by noise, advice, and pressure from every direction. With so many voices competing for attention, how do you know who to trust? In this message, we looks at Isaiah’s promise that Jesus would be called “Wonderful Counselor”, the one voice wise enough to cut through the chaos....

  47. RENEW 2025 - Session 4: Being Unrivaled Lights for the World - Nathan Slonaker

    In this final session of Renew, we look at what happens when an unrivaled heart begins to shine. After a weekend of naming our idols, laying down our sin, and rediscovering God’s unmatched love, this message calls us to step back into real life as lights who point others to Jesus. Using Jesus’...

  48. RENEW 2025 - Session 3: The Gift of Repentance - Caleb Cervenka

    In session 3 of Renew, we uncover what it really means to return to God with an honest, surrendered heart. Through the story of a young boy who disobeys and finds himself hurting in a muddy sandbox, we get a moving picture of a Father who would rather embrace a messy child than watch a distant…

  49. RENEW 2025 - Session 2: Delight in God is Our Greatest Adventure - Katie deMasi

    In Session 2 of Renew, we explore what happens when idols lose their grip and Jesus takes His rightful place at the center of our hearts. This message unpacks what it means to truly delight in God, not as a duty, but as a deep joy. Through Scripture, personal stories, and the picture of God as…

  50. RENEW 2025 - Session 1: Only Christ Should Be Our Everything - Nathan Slonaker

    In this message from night 1 of our Renew middle school retreat, we explore what it really means for God to have no equal in our lives.
