What if the miracle of following Jesus isn’t just about life after death but about life before it?

In a world obsessed with what happens after we die, Jesus turns the question around and asks how we’re really living before we die. In this message from John 6, Pastor Trevor Hersey shows how the feeding of the five thousand reveals the way Jesus invites us to live through generosity, serving, and witnessing. When we live at His pace and under His yoke, the ordinary moments of life start to look a lot like miracles.

What do you do when you have prayed, believed, and kept showing up, but it still feels like you are losing? In this message, Pastor Trevor looks at the story of David and Goliath from a different angle. Instead of focusing on David’s victory, he looks at the Israelite soldiers who stood on the field day after day hearing the same taunts. For forty days, fear owned their mornings and evenings. But on day forty-one, God sent provision, presence, and victory walking toward them in the form of a shepherd boy carrying bread and cheese.

This message is for anyone who feels stuck in a season of forty, where life feels like constant testing, pruning, and process. You will see how God restores rhythm, brings provision for now and for what is ahead, and reminds us that He still wins every battle. Do not quit in your forty. Your forty-one is already on the way.

What’s the loudest voice in your head right now? For some, it’s brutal words like You’re worthless. You’ll never be enough. You don’t deserve love. For others, it’s lighter mantras like Just keep swimming. Do the next right thing. Progress, not perfection. But here’s the truth, whatever you keep repeating to yourself is shaping your life more than you realize. Studies say most of our daily thoughts lean negative, which means many of us are speaking defeat over our lives before we even face the battles outside of us.

In this message, we’re unpacking the difference between negative talk, good mantras, and the very best confessions of faith. We’ll step into real stories from scripture — David staring down Goliath, Hannah waiting in heartbreak, Job suffering without answers, and Jesus resisting temptation—and discover how their words became weapons of victory. You can survive by repeating mantras, or you can live by clinging to God’s promises. The question is, which confession will you hold onto?

Life’s storms aren’t just bad weather, they’re moments that test our faith, challenge our peace, and make us wonder why a good God would allow suffering at all. In this message, Trevor dives into one of the most dramatic storm stories in the Bible (Acts 27), where Paul finds himself shipwrecked, but not abandoned. You’ll see how God’s presence, the unseen spiritual realm, and a single word from Him can change everything. Whether you’re barely holding on or clinging to just a piece of hope.

We’ll talk about angels in the night, why suffering still happens, and how to hold fast to God’s promises when nothing makes sense. If you’ve ever asked, “Where is God in all this?”— this will speak right to your heart.

Life throws a lot our way, but what do you do when it throws you difficult people? Not just hard conversations or awkward coworkers… we’re talking about the ones who drain you, disrespect you, and derail your peace. In this honest, heartfelt, and hilariously real episode, Trevor takes us through what it means to handle difficult people, not with fake smiles or easy clichés, but with the actual power of the Holy Spirit. From power cords and vacuums to sanders and jigsaws, the spiritual toolbox gets put to work as we confront the tension between boundaries and forgiveness, grace and truth.

If you’ve ever muttered “I’m fine” while plotting a passive-aggressive social media post — or wanted to pray David’s psalms over your enemies — this episode is for you. We’re diving into 1 John 2, Romans 5, Galatians 5, and the rhythms of Jesus himself to discover how discipleship shows up in our responses. Spoiler: you won’t fix them. But you can be formed in the process. Get ready to laugh, cringe, repent, and maybe even start praying for that one person you swore you never would.

Life can leave marks — some visible, some hidden deep beneath the surface. But God doesn’t just offer survival; He offers healing. In this message, we explore how to use the spiritual tools God has given us to walk through pain, disappointment, and unexpected seasons with faith that actually restores. Whether you’re battling heartache, burnout, or wounds no one else sees, this is for you. Jesus doesn’t just patch things up—He makes all things new. There’s a toolbox of hope, presence, and healing in His hands… and He’s placed it in yours too.

Life doesn’t warn you before it throws a curveball. One day it’s a flat tire, the next it’s a medical diagnosis or a quiet ache of loneliness you can’t quite name. But as followers of Jesus, we don’t just react — we respond. And not in our own strength either. God has already placed everything we need in our hands. This message unpacks the spiritual tools He’s given us to navigate anxiety, defeat, distance from God, and even sickness, so we can build something eternal, even when life feels unstable.

With humor, raw honesty, and biblical insight, we’ll show you what it looks like to reach for your spiritual toolbox — vise grips of faith, levels of peace, stud finders of remembrance, and drywall anchors of fresh connection. If this summer hasn’t gone as planned, don’t count it out. God’s still good. And this can still be your Best Summer Yet.
