In this powerful and transparent conversation, Dr. Travis and Jackie Greene are joined by Laura and Carl Lentz to discuss their newly released book, Overcoming Infidelity, and the difficult journey of healing, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust. Together, they unpack the cost of compromise, the idols that can lead to destruction, the importance of accountability, and what it truly takes to move for...

Being empty doesn't mean you're powerless. Sometimes, it's the very place where God reveals His power. In "The Power of Empty," Ezekiel Azonwu takes us through Luke 4:1–12, where Jesus faces temptation in the wilderness after 40 days of fasting. Through this powerful message, Ezekiel challenges us to examine what we're feeding, what we're depending on, and what i...

Rooted in 1 Kings 13:1 and the encounter that follows between the man of God and King Jeroboam, “Don’t Take the Bait” explores three baits offered by the king: intimidation, invitation, and incentive. We are challenged in this message to recognize the pressure to trade our convictions for comfort, acceptance, or personal gain. Exposure is uncomfortable, but recognizing the bait is the first step t...

The devil isn't after first place. He's after SHARED SPACE. In this powerful message, "There's More Behind the Door," we are reminded that the enemy doesn't have to take God's place in your life if he can convince you to make room for him alongside God. We are also challenged to examine the doors we've left open, the things we've allowed access to our l...

What if the blessing you've been praying for isn't in a new place, but in a different position? In this powerful message rooted in John 21, Dr. Joel Tudman reminds us that God doesn't always have to change your environment to change your outcome. Sometimes, the breakthrough you've been waiting for requires you to trust His voice, shift your perspective, and obey His instruction...

In “The Danger in Drifting,” Pastor Jamal Hegwood challenges us to pay attention to the areas of our lives where we’ve become comfortable, distracted, or disconnected.  What you tolerate today can determine where you end up tomorrow, and sometimes the greatest danger is that you never noticed you were drifting in the first place. This message is a call to wake up, check your position, and intentio...

What are you seeing, and is your vision coming from God? Rooted in 1 Samuel 3:1, this message challenges us to examine what shapes our perspective, make room for God’s Word, and seek His vision for our lives. Watch "There's Something In My Eyes" and ask yourself: what might change if you began to see your life through the lens of what God has spoken?

In this message, we are reminded that it’s possible to hold the Bible in one hand while still holding habits in the other. We can know the Word, attend church, and speak the language of faith while still clinging to patterns, attachments, and behaviors that compete with who God has called us to become. This message challenges us to examine what we have normalized, release what no longer belongs in...

In “The Danger of a Down Shift,” we’re challenged to examine four areas that can quietly pull us away from total dependence on God: Source — What am I relying on? Sight — What am I looking at? Strategy — What is my plan? Strength — What actually has the capacity to hold me? In Isaiah 31:1–4, the people of God looked to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, chariots, human strength, and what they cou...

What do you do when you’re caught between the shift you’re believing for and the hard place you’re currently facing? Rooted in 2 Kings 20, Pastor Jamal Hegwood reminds us in this message that when Hezekiah received a difficult report, he turned his face to the wall and prayed.  Sometimes you have to turn away from the noise, the opinions, and what your circumstances are saying so you can turn towa...

Sometimes we want God to change everything overnight, but what if the process is part of the promise? In Exodus 23, God tells His people that He would not drive everything out all at once, but “little by little” until they were strong enough to possess the land. In “Take Your Time on Me,” we are reminded that God’s timing isn’t punishment, it’s preparation.  Little by little, God is preparing you...

You can’t step into a new season operating from an old version of yourself.  In this message, Pastor Mike Todd challenges us to recognize when God is upgrading us for where He’s taking us.  The shift may require new courage, new thinking, new obedience, and a willingness to release what worked in the last season. Watch the full message and ask yourself: What old version of me can’t come with me in...

MAKE BETTER DECISIONS | Bishop S.Y. Younger Your decisions have destinations. In this powerful and heavily prophetic message, Bishop S.Y. Younger teaches from Genesis 13:11 –12, using the story of Lot to reveal how the decisions we make today can determine where we find ourselves tomorrow. God never intended for us to navigate life using our own wisdom alone. Through the Holy Spirit, we have acces...

What are you willing to trade for temporary relief? In Genesis 25, Esau exchanged his birthright for a bowl of stew. What looked like a simple moment of hunger became a costly decision that reminds us: you’re worth more than temporary pleasure. In “Protect the Promise,” we’re challenged to guard our purity, resist compromise, and recognize that holiness isn’t God keeping something from us—it’s God...

🥪 What if your greatest breakthrough is hidden inside your everyday obedience? 👀 Before David ever defeated a giant... he carried a lunchbox. 🎒 While everyone else saw an ordinary assignment, God was preparing an extraordinary king. 👑 Every hidden season, every heavy burden, every long walk, and every act of obedience was shaping David for a moment he never saw coming. Maybe you feel overlooke...

What if the greatest battle of your life isn't against your circumstances—but against the labels you've believed about yourself? In this powerful message from Genesis 32:27–28 , we journey through Jacob's life-changing encounter with God and discover that a good name is worth fighting for . Before God changed Jacob's future, He confronted Jacob's identity. Through honesty,...

What if the greatest battle you're fighting isn't around you... but coming out of your own mouth? This week, we're confronting one of the most overlooked spiritual disciplines: the words we speak. Every conversation is an opportunity to come into agreement with God's promise—or with the enemy's lie. Your words aren't empty. They're forming atmospheres. They'...

Some of us don't struggle because God has been unfaithful—we struggle because life has taught us not to trust. In this message, Pastor Jamal Hegwood invites us back to the heart of Proverbs 3:5–6, reminding us that trusting God isn't passive; it's surrender. As we learn to trust His heart, His voice, and His design, we discover the freedom that comes from living according to His pla...

What if God's first plan for changing the world wasn't government, church, or even a nation? It was family. In this powerful message, we journey through the life of Abraham to discover that family has always been God's strategy for discipleship, legacy, and transformation. No matter your season of life—single, married, a parent, grandparent, teenager, or young adult—this message wil...

What if your greatest breakthrough isn’t in front of you… but underneath the boat? In this powerful message, Pastor Travis Greene teaches from Luke 5 and reminds us that even when we don’t see results, God is still working. Just because your nets seem empty doesn’t mean Heaven is inactive. God is preparing blessings, opportunities, and breakthrough beneath the surface. If you’ve been waiting, pray...

How did you make it through everything that tried to take you out? In this powerful message, we're reminded that God's protection, grace, and faithfulness have carried us through every challenge, setback, disappointment, and battle. What should have broken you didn't. What should have stopped you couldn't. Through every storm, God made a way for you to survive—and not just surv...

What if the very thing you see as failure is actually creating room for God to do something greater? In this powerful message from the Netflex and Chill series, Pastor Jamal delivers a life-changing word titled “Space Maker,” challenging us to stop viewing our empty places as evidence of God’s absence and start seeing them as opportunities for His presence. Using Luke 5 and the story of Simon Pete...

What if the very thing God promised you is too heavy to carry alone? In “No Help, No Harvest,” we dive into Luke 5:7 and uncover a powerful truth: some blessings will break your nets if you refuse partnership. After a night of failure, Simon Peter obeys Jesus and experiences a miracle so overwhelming that he has to shout for help before he loses the harvest. This message confronts isolation, ego,...

Your net can only hold what it's been prepared to carry. Before Jesus called fishermen to catch people, He found them washing their nets after a disappointing night. Yet what felt like failure was actually preparation for one of the greatest invitations ever given: "From now on, you will fish for people." Before God changes your assignment, He often repairs your net. 📍 Forward City...

In this powerful message from the “Netflix & Chill” series, we dive into Luke 5 and the moment Simon Peter’s nets began to break under the weight of the blessing God released. Through this story, we’re challenged to confront the habits, mindsets, memories, and methods that can no longer carry where God is taking us.
