348: The Blueprint and the Pen (Hannah)
Hannah shares from eight and a half years of chronic illness and nervous system dysregulation, and what she learned sitting at Jesus' feet like Mary instead of striving like Martha. She shows that God's answer to chaos is order, and the byproduct is peace (Genesis 1). Many of us carry hidden...
-
347: Do You Know Who You Are (Moises)
Paul says all creation is groaning, waiting for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed: not created, but revealed, because what God placed inside us is waiting to come out. This message walks through Romans 8 and the fall in Genesis to show what was lost when humanity stopped stewarding the...
-
346: His Ways, Not Just His Acts (Wade)
There´s a difference between watching what God does and knowing how He walks. Anchored in Psalm 103:7 - He made known His ways to Moses and His acts to the children of Israel - this Gateway Church message calls us past spectator faith into a living pursuit of God´s ways. Through fasting and...
-
345: Worship That Wins the Battle (Wade)
What if God isn´t coming to rescue a defeated church, but to meet a people already living in victory? In this message, we dig into dominion theology-not as a license to control others, but as the confidence that Jesus has given us authority over our own spirit, so joy can be our default setting....
-
344: We Reign Above It All (Wade)
Sometimes the "usual" keeps us from recognizing what God is doing right now - just like Nazareth when Jesus opened Isaiah and declared the Scripture fulfilled that day. In this Gateway Church message, we´re challenged to fight the good fight of faith when fear tries to hijack our health…

343: Abide. Speak. Overcome (Wade)
There's a battle most people never realize they're losing - not because they're living in obvious sin, but because of what they're speaking out loud every day. Rooted in John 15 and Colossians 2, this conversation explores what it actually means to abide in Christ - and why that one thing is the...
-
342: One Pursuit - To Know Him (Wade)
Nobody's life is perfect - and it was never supposed to be. Underneath the highlight reel, everyone carries the same quiet battle: the thoughts that shape every other part of life. What if the fight isn't really about a dozen scattered struggles, but one - a single, simplifying pursuit that…
more -
341: Whole Armor - Suited Up (Wade)
What keeps a fighter in the fight when the battle gets long? The answer isn't willpower - it's an atmosphere of grace that flooded the earth the moment Jesus cried "It is finished" and the temple curtain split in two. That grace is the constant supply line, healing every wound and carrying you...
-
340: The Branch of Praise (Ned)
There's a lion that roars against you - but there's another lion who wants to roar through you. In this message, Ned traces a 3,000-year thread from David's tabernacle of praise through the prophecy of Amos all the way to today, making the case that we are living in the very moment those ancient...
-
339: Whole Armor - Sword of the Spirit (Wade)
There's a difference between reading words on a page and having them cut straight into your soul - and once you've felt that difference, you can't unfeel it. What happens when someone stands in the middle of unbearable grief with nothing to offer but a battered kind of faith? What does it…
more -
338: Whole Armor - Helmet of Salvation Part 2 (Wade)
What if the armor of God isn't something you put on from the outside, but something that becomes part of how you think? Drawing from 1 Corinthians 2 and Ephesians, this conversation explores what it actually means to be spiritually alive - and why that's the only way the helmet of salvation makes...
-
337: Whole Armor - Helmet of Salvation Part 1 (Wade)
Of all the pieces of spiritual armor described in Ephesians 6, the helmet of salvation may be the one most people are walking around without - and the one they need most. When life delivers its hardest blows - loss, grief, disease, financial collapse, relentless anxiety - it's not your...
-
336: God Has Already Done It (Wade)
What if everything you've been waiting for God to do - He's already done it? The promises, the power, the healing, the freedom - Scripture says it's all been given, and receiving it isn't a matter of waiting but of choosing. Rooted in 2 Peter 1 and 2 Corinthians 10, there's a hard and hopeful…
more -
335: America 250 - Freedom to Choose (Wade)
The 250th anniversary of America's founding raises a question most people are afraid to honestly answer: what actually made this nation great — and what keeps it that way? The answer isn't found in political parties, military power, or government programs, but in something far more personal. From...
-
334: Whole Armor - Stand (Wade)
Before you can wield the armor of God, you have to know where you're standing - and most believers don't. This week's message cuts straight to the heart of why so many Christians feel spiritually defeated: not because they lack knowledge about the armor, but because they haven't yet taken their...
-
333: Dominion Starts With Family (Hannah)
What if the key to walking in the authority God has given you isn't doing more - but first becoming more? Tracing the dominion mandate from the Garden of Eden through the Great Commission, this teaching reveals how God has always worked through family rather than lone individuals to extend His...
-
332: Whole Armor - Shield Part 3 (Wade)
Most believers know they're in a spiritual battle - but far fewer understand the difference between having power and walking in authority, and that gap may be costing them everything. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and the Great Commission, this teaching makes the case that the authority Christ…
more -
331: Whole Armor - In Formation (Dan)
What if there's a piece of spiritual armor that's easy to miss entirely? This continues a deep dive into Ephesians 6, but shifts the focus from individual pieces of gear to two questions easy to miss in the original Greek: who are you suiting up with, and what role does prayer actually play?...
-
330: Whole Armor - Shield Part 2 (Wade)
What happens when an accusation hits its mark-and you find it coming out of your own mouth instead of being deflected? Continuing through Ephesians 6, this conversation digs into the shield of faith, the piece of armor designed to extinguish every flaming arrow the enemy throws-doubt, shame,...
-
329: Whole Armor - Shield Part 1 (Wade)
The enemy isn't taking days off - and neither should your armor. Drawing from Ephesians 6, this digs into what it actually means to take up the Shield of Faith, and why so many believers are taking hit after hit without ever realizing they have a weapon that can stop every single flaming arrow....
-
328: Whole Armor - Protected Feet (Wade)
There's a spiritual battle intensifying around you, and the question isn't whether it's coming - it's whether you'll be ready when it arrives. Ephesians 6 commands believers to take up the whole armor of God, not as a suggestion, but as a necessity, and one often-overlooked piece is the footwear:...
-
327: Whole Armor - Breastplate (Wade)
Every person alive will face an "evil day" - a moment when human strength simply isn't enough. The question isn't if that day is coming, but whether you'll be ready when it arrives. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and the unlikely courage of a shepherd boy named David, this episode unpacks what it…
more -
326: Spirit to Spirit (Joel)
There's a moment when two believers cross paths unexpectedly — at a hardware store, in a hallway, on an ordinary Tuesday — and something undeniable passes between them. It's not chemistry, it's not coincidence, and it's not just good community. What if that "spark" is actually the Spirit of God...
-
325: Whole Armor - Belt of Truth (Wade)
God's plan for your life was written before you took your first breath - but that doesn't mean you get to coast. There is no middle ground in this life: you are either actively pursuing alignment with God's design or drifting into something far less. The world around us is in open spiritual...
-
324: God's Plan, Your Plan (Wade)
There is a battle happening around you right now whether you acknowledge it or not - and you don't get the option to sit it out. The enemy of your soul is not a concept or a metaphor; he is actively looking for any position of influence in your life, exploiting fear, addiction, and unbelief to...
-
323: Easter 2026 - A Living Hope (Wade)
What if everything you've been told about God is wrong? So many carry a picture of a harsh, unreachable God - one who demands perfection before he'll accept you - but is that actually true? Drawing from 1 Peter 1:3-5, this Easter reflection unpacks what it really means to be "born again" - not…
more -
322: The Unseen (Wade)
Is there more happening around you than what your five senses can detect? There is a spiritual world in constant conflict - and whether you realize it or not, you are already in the middle of it. Drawing from the story of Elisha's servant in 2 Kings 6 and the angel's delayed arrival in Daniel 10,...
-
321: A People Set Apart (Hannah)
What does it actually mean to be a citizen of God's kingdom - not just saved, but transformed? What if the comfortable, familiar version of faith you've settled into is actually a kind of captivity? Drawing on the stories of Daniel, Joseph, and the woman with the issue of blood, this episode...
-
320: Cleanse the Leper (Moises)
What if Jesus meant it literally when he commanded his followers to heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and raise the dead? In Matthew 10, Jesus sends out his disciples with specific instructions - and the authority to back them up - raising the question of whether that same power and commission still...
-
318: The Owner of the Field (Ned)
What if everything you’ve been holding onto — the guilt, the shame, the diagnosis, the depression — was never actually yours to carry? Drawing from the parable of the hidden treasure in Matthew 13, this episode explores a radical reinterpretation: God is the one who found the field, bought it at…
more -
319: When God Says Wait (Tori)
What do you do when you've surrendered everything to God — and then He seems to take it all anyway? Tori shares how a single year stripped her of her health, her job, her church community, and the man she loved, forcing her to confront a question she'd never truly had to answer: do I actually...
-
317: Obedience From The Inside (Dan)
What if every time you've chosen your own way over God's, you were actually making a theological statement — one that goes all the way back to the Garden? The real reason most believers struggle to obey isn't lack of willpower or discipline — it's a trust problem rooted in two ancient lies that…
more -
316: Dangerous Comfort (Wade)
What if the biggest stronghold in your life isn't out there somewhere — but sitting quietly inside your own thinking? There's an invisible structure of spiritual forces, both light and dark, and when you begin to understand that prayer doesn't just reach God but actually mobilizes armies on your...
-
315: Called, Chosen, But Faithful? (Wade)
What if believing all the right things still leaves you standing on the sidelines? There's a critical difference between knowing about something and actually committing to follow — and that gap is where most people get stuck. Why do so many settle for belief without ever stepping into the...
-
314: Stop Wishing, Start Following (Wade)
What if the biggest obstacle to spiritual growth isn't doubt — but laziness? Most people stop at belief and desire, but what does it actually look like to move beyond wishing into real, daily commitment? Could the way you sleep, eat, and spend your time be quietly disqualifying you from the very...
-
313: Physical Discipleship (Wade)
What if the very feelings you trust most are the ones leading you off course? Pilots flying through storms must ignore their physical sensations and trust their instruments alone—because what feels true can kill you. The same principle applies when anxiety, fear, or circumstances threaten to spin...
-
312: FOF - Faith over Fear (Wade)
What if the very feelings you trust most are the ones leading you off course? Pilots flying through storms must ignore their physical sensations and trust their instruments alone—because what feels true can kill you. The same principle applies when anxiety, fear, or circumstances threaten to spin...
-
311: Connection Before Correction (Wade)
What if everything you thought about spiritual growth was backwards? Can transformation happen through relationship rather than regulation? This episode challenges the assumption that cleaning up your life comes before connecting with God, exploring why authentic discipleship starts with…
more -
309: From Follower To Disciple (Wade)
What happens when the faith you've been living on isn't actually yours? Many people spend years operating on borrowed belief—following a parent's conviction, a mentor's testimony, or a leader's passion—without ever developing their own relationship with God. But what does it take to move from...
-
310: Your Plan or His (Wade)
What if the anxiety consuming your life exists because you're working the wrong plan? This message reveals why so many people struggle with peace despite their best efforts to maintain control over circumstances, relationships, and outcomes. Could the breakthrough you need be found in the reality...
-
308: Dominion and the Battle (Wade)
What happens when deliverance doesn't feel complete? Exploring a powerful vision of the body of Christ as thousands of individual pictures forming one beautiful portrait, this discussion challenges the belief that freedom means never facing spiritual battles again. Why does thanksgiving matter...
-
307: Weakness Becomes Strength (Wade)
What if everything you've been taught about strength is actually working against you? We live in a culture obsessed with projecting power and having it all together—but what happens when anxiety grips your chest at 2 AM and you can't make it stop? This episode explores the counterintuitive idea...
-
306: Magnify God Daily (Dave)
What does it truly mean to magnify God in your life—and why does it matter when everything falls apart? This exploration examines how biblical figures like Elisha and David faced impossible situations with unshakeable confidence because they had magnified God far beyond Sunday worship into their...
-
305: A Door For Him (Dan)
What if the Christian life was never meant to be passive consumption, but active distribution? This exploration challenges the gap between having spiritual gifts and actually using them, asking why so many believers sit on a toolbox of supernatural power they've never opened. Can you demonstrate...
-
304: The Battle for Your Soul (Wade)
What if the guilt you're carrying was never yours to bear? This teaching explores the invisible spiritual warfare happening all around us and reveals why so many remain trapped in anxiety and condemnation despite their best efforts to break free. Can the blood of Christ truly erase every wrong...
-
303: Forward Giving - Forgiving (Wade)
What's keeping you from experiencing the abundant life promised in Scripture? Could unforgiveness—either toward others or yourself—be the invisible chain holding you back? This exploration of costly grace reveals why some people feel emotionally stuck despite believing in Christ. Drawing from the...
-
302: Cheap Grace, Costly Grace (Wade)
Is it possible that many believers have settled for something less than what God offers? What does it truly mean to move beyond simply believing into actively following? Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's concept of "cheap grace," this exploration challenges the difference between easy believism...
-
301: What's In Your Hand (Wade)
Why does God sometimes allow influential voices to be silenced through martyrdom, and what purpose does it serve in the kingdom? When Jesus fed thousands with just five loaves and two fish, did He really perform the miracle alone, or did the crowd participate in the multiplication as bread passed...
-
300: Obedience Training (Alyssa)
What does a literal "obedience training" sign at a doggy daycare have to do with spiritual awakening? Discover a journey from being a perfectionist Ivy League student who always felt "second place" to learning that true obedience isn't about performing for approval—it's about trust. Why would...
