Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit the "spiritual" mold? Whether it’s the music you listen to, the tattoos on your skin, or just the way you process your emotions, many of us have felt the sting of religious judgment. We’ve all seen it: the "Super Spiritual" facade that prioritizes outward performance over inward heart transformation.In this series opener, Pastor Homer dives into the messy reality of authentic spirituality. Using powerful personal stories—from a bizarre "deliverance" session in a college dorm to a heartbreaking encounter at a church altar—we explore how God often works outside the boxes of our expectations.In this episode, we discuss:Why inward conviction always outweighs outward religious expression.The danger of "The Performance Trap" and how it breeds hypocrisy.The story of Rahab: How God uses the "mismatched" to save nations.How to stop judging others by your "measure of faith" and start leading with grace.If you’ve ever felt like a "mismatch" in church, this message is a reminder that God isn’t looking for a perfect religious show—He’s looking for a surrendered heart.—To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch

We’re often told that "taking a leap of faith" means closing our eyes and hoping for the best. But what if the most fearless thing you can do is actually open them?In Part 4 of our Fearless series, we’re dismantling the myth of blind faith. Using the story of Nehemiah—a man who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in just 52 days after 140 years of ruin—we explore why preparation isn't a lack of trust in God, but a demonstration of how seriously we take our calling.In this episode, we discuss:The Holy Irritation: How to identify the "burden" on your heart that points to your purpose.Sanctified Imagination: Why planning for the "what if" is an act of worship.The Paradox of Anxiety: Why feeling terrified doesn't mean you're failing; it means you're moving.The Focused "No": How to protect your calling from the "good" distractions that stop the "great" work.If you’ve been waiting for the fear to leave before you take your next step, this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like your faith was eroding simply because of time and silence? We often start a season full of confidence, only to have it crumble when we don’t see immediate validation.In this message, we’re diving deep into the tension of the 'unanswered' prayer. Using the story of Peter on the water and Samuel in the Tabernacle, we explore why God’s silence isn't a sign of His absence, but an invitation to a deeper frequency. I’m sharing a personal, raw look into a recent season of my own ministry where 'getting ghosted' by a situation led to a profound realization about the futility of worry.If you’re tired of having a funeral for dreams that aren't even dead, and you’re ready to trade your 'Plan B' for a step of radical faith, this conversation is for you. It’s time to stop waiting for the storm to stop and start walking on the water.—To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch

Is Your Relationship with God Toxic?In a culture that has "Americanized" the Gospel, have we traded holy reverence for casual entitlement? In Part 2 of the "Fearless" series, we explore the thin line between being honest with God and being irreverent toward Him. We often claim to want a "relationship, not a religion," yet we frequently treat God with less respect than we give to our bosses, our donors, or even our neighbors.This message challenges us to re-examine our hearts. Are we offering God our best, or just our "begrudging leftovers"? Join us as we learn how to move from an arrogant fearlessness to a holy awe—realizing that true spiritual power is found not when we make God small, but when we finally recognize how big He truly is.—To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch

Why Your Plans are Making You AnxiousAre you actually living in the best season of your life right now and just too stressed to notice?Most of us have a "mental map" for how our lives are supposed to go. We tell ourselves that if we’re good people and work hard, things should stay on track. But what happens when the plan falls apart? Usually, we spiral. We hide behind locked doors of anxiety, or we try to fight our way out of situations that are completely out of our hands.Stop letting fear talk you out of your future.

We’ve all heard the phrase “just trust God,” but in the middle of We’ve been told that surrender is a white flag—a passive, quiet state of waiting for God to move. But what if surrender is actually a sprint? In the final installment of our "Surrender" series, we’re deconstructing the "polite" version of faith and replacing it with something more daring.From the "wrestling mat" of spiritual discipline to the "supernatural second wind" of racing against horses, we explore why you don’t need a "middleman" to access God’s power. If you’ve felt stuck in spiritual paralysis or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode is your starting line.

We’ve all heard the phrase “just trust God,” but in the middle of a crisis, that can feel more like a dismissal than a solution. Does trusting God mean we have to pretend we aren’t hurting? Does it mean we stop taking responsibility for our lives?In the third installment of our "Surrender" series, we’re stripping away the religious clichés to look at the raw, biblical reality of what it means to live a life of trust. From the "tear bottle" of Psalm 56 to the wide-open freedom of the Garden of Eden, we explore:The Sanctity of Grief: Why God doesn't want you to "get over it," but rather wants to meet you in it.Tests vs. Temptations: How to discern if your struggle is a setup for failure or a strengthening of your faith.The Mystery of the Will: How to stop living in "decision paralysis" and start walking in the "permissive will" and freedom God designed for you.If you’ve ever felt like your faith was a tightrope you were bound to fall off of, this episode is for you.

Why does spiritual growth feel so inconsistent? Why do we pray for change but end up repeating the same patterns?In Part 1 of the new series Surrender, we explore what true surrender actually looks like. Using the imagery of a seed, we unpack the process of being buried, breaking through, and blossoming into the life God designed for us.Jesus said that unless a seed dies, it remains alone. And unless we remain connected to Him, we cannot bear fruit. So what needs to be buried in your life? What soil have you planted yourself in? And are you truly remaining connected to Christ?If you’re tired of emotional moments that don’t lead to lasting transformation, this message will challenge you to move from inspiration to intentional surrender.Growth doesn’t happen by adding more spiritual activity. It happens when we let go, accept what we truly need, and stay connected to the source of life.It’s time to surrender.

Eight years ago, Gravetop Church launched with 18 people in a living room and a simple decision to obey God. No building. No large team. No perfect plan. Just willingness.In this 8-year anniversary message, Pastor Homer shares the journey of how one decision led to salvations, baptisms, leadership development, outreach, recovery ministry, and a growing church community in San Antonio. Through Acts 6 and the story of Stephen, we see how even “small” roles can make an extraordinary impact when surrendered to God.This message highlights leadership, church growth, obedience, calling, and the power of a willing heart. If you’ve ever wondered whether your role matters or whether your small step of faith could make a difference, this message is for you.You don’t need perfection.

Revelation isn’t just about the future—it’s about the present.In this message, we slow down and listen to the letters written to the seven churches in Revelation. Instead of rushing through symbols or getting lost in speculation, we focus on patterns: how Jesus speaks, what He affirms, what He corrects, and why it all matters today.Each letter reveals a different side of Jesus, not because He changes, but because He meets people exactly where they are. Whether you’re feeling faithful, tired, drifting, or unsure, these letters remind us that Jesus sees, knows, and invites us closer.This conversation isn’t about fear or confusion. It’s about clarity, honesty, and learning how to hear Jesus clearly in the season you’re in right now.—To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch

Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books in the Bible—and often one of the most avoided. In this episode, we kick off the series Understanding Revelation by slowing things down and learning how to read the book the way it was meant to be read.

This message isn’t about fear, predictions, or charts—it’s about clarity, humility, and keeping Jesus at the center of the story.—To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch

What does it actually mean to put God first—not just in belief, but in real life?In this message, we walk through three defining truths that reshape how we see faith: the Greatest Commandment, the Great Commission, and the Greatest Relationship. This isn’t about religious performance, personal improvement, or checking spiritual boxes. It’s about love that shows up in action, obedience that doesn’t wait for qualification, and a relationship with Jesus that goes deeper than familiarity. If your faith has felt distant, stalled, or overly complicated, this conversation is an invitation to reconnect your soul to what truly matters—and to step into the life and purpose God intended all along.—To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch

What does it actually look like to put God first when life is busy, exhausting, and inconvenient?In this message, we explore the idea that spiritual growth isn’t about intensity or hype—it’s about effort, consistency, and availability. Through real-life stories and Scripture, this message challenges the belief that faith should be easy or effortless and instead invites us into a faith that shows up, sacrifices comfort, and offers what we already have.We look at the danger of complacency, the power of consistency, and why small, faithful actions often carry more weight than big intentions.

As a new year begins, many of us focus on changing habits, setting goals, and fixing what feels out of alignment. But what if the real issue isn’t discipline—it’s direction? In this message, we explore what it actually means to put God first, not in theory, but at the heart level. Using the story of King Asa, we look at how faith can quietly drift, how self-reliance often replaces trust, and why the choices we make under pressure reveal what we truly stand on.
