In Week 5 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy unpacks Romans 8:26-30 as we see that living in the Spirit is a both/and experience: being filled with the Spirit and being formed by the Spirit. We cover three things: the prayer, the promise, and the pathway. Tap to read Pastor Jeri...

You’ve been adopted by God. Willfully chosen. Pursued across the world. And you’re also walking through something hard right now. Both of those things are true — and Paul says they’re not in conflict. In Week 4 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday works through Romans 8:15–25 and unpacks three pillars of life in the Spirit — adoption, affliction, and assurance. He shares the st...

Ten years ago, Pastor Jerimy and Shannon Kanaday moved their family to Spring Hill, Tennessee with no building, no seats, and no certainty — just a call from God to pioneer something new. Today Christ Chapel celebrated Vision Sunday — and the vision isn’t just for the next year. It’s for the next decade. Drawing from Matthew 25 and the parable of the talents, Pastor Jerimy unpacks what it means to...

Sin is like a squatter in the home of your heart. And after a while, when you let a squatter stay long enough — it gains legal access. In Week 3 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday works through Romans 8:9–14 and delivers one of the most honest messages in the series. If we’re going to have life in the Spirit, our flesh has to die. And most of us don’t know how much flesh we h...

In Week 2 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday works through Romans 8:1–8 and lands on one of the most practical — and most overlooked — truths in the Christian life: life in the Spirit is traveled on the road of the mind.

You probably own a Bible. Maybe more than one. You might have a Bible app on your phone and a framed scripture on your wall. But are you actually in a relationship with God's word — or just familiar with it?

The church isn't a building or a...

You are not a one-dimensional person. And God doesn't want to heal just one part of you. In this week of Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday builds a fully integrated model for health from Mark 12:30 — love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength — and shows how each dimension maps directly to a different area of health that God cares about...

What if your number one goal in life, your number one need in life, and God's number one purpose for your life were all the same thing?

You spend more of your life working than almost anything else. So what does God actually think about your job — and what does He want for you in it?

In Week 2 of Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life, Pastor Jerimy unpacks what it actually means to have a relationship with the person of the Holy Spirit — not just a theology of Him, but a living, ongoi...

In the introduction to our brand new series — Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life — Pastor Jerimy Kanaday opens with one of the most striking images from C.S. Lewis: God as a master builder, not renovating a cottage, but constructing a palace. And He inten...

Peter had fished all night and caught nothing. His nets were clean. He was done. And then Jesus climbed into his boat and said — go back out. In this guest message at Christ Chapel, Pastor Rusty unpacks Luke 5:1–11 and the two words that changed Peter's life forever: "If you say so." In the Greek, that phrase means nevertheless — in spite of what I've tried, in spite of what I&#3...

In this special sermon at Christ Chapel, Pastor Rusty Nelson unpacks one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Offense is inevitable — but what you do with it changes everything. In Week 5 of Project 31: The Road to Wisdom, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday teaches that an offense to our heart can lead to a stronghold in our minds.

In Week 4 of Project 31: The Road to Wisdom, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday teaches that our kingdom finds its clearest expression in three domains: our mind (directed attention), our moments (time), and our money (financial resources). All three are areas where we have agency — and all three reveal who our true Lor...

This Father's Day, Pastor Shannon Kanaday explores three dimensions of God revealed through Jesus's teaching on prayer in Luke 11 and 18, showing that how we approach God as Father, Friend, and Judge shapes the depth of relationship we experience with Him, and that knowing Him in each role unlocks intimacy, intercession, and confident standing against the enemy's accusations.
