Send us Fan Mail A giant doesn’t just show up to fight you, it shows up to talk you into fear. We walk through 1 Samuel 17 and get painfully practical about the “Goliaths” we face today: addiction, anxiety, shame, broken habits, spiritual attacks, and the quiet lies that say you’re not enough. When Israel keeps staring at the size of the problem, they forget the size of their God, and they start r...

Send us Fan Mail A lot of men carry the same fear in silence: “I’m the only one struggling.” Ground Zero exists to prove that lie wrong. We gathered around the table with four leaders from Christ Family Outreach Church in Amelia, Virginia to talk about what happens when men show up hungry, put down the mask, and choose brotherhood. We dig into why a monthly men’s meeting can become a catalyst for...

Send us Fan Mail You can’t live on “I don’t know” forever. Pastor Lee Day sits down again with CFO Church men’s leader Frankie Brown for part two, and we land on a hard but freeing line from Joshua 24: choose this day whom you will serve. Not next week. Not after things calm down. Right now. We talk honestly about why a culture full of options can still produce people who feel stuck, lukewarm, and...

Send us Fan Mail Comfort doesn’t always mean you’re safe, sometimes it means you’re drifting. Pastor Lee Day sits down with men’s leader Frankie Brown to open Jeremiah 2 and ask a question God still asks today: what did you find in Him that made you walk away? We talk honestly about how “following what is worthless makes us worthless” in the sense that our attachments shape our fruit, our focus, a...

Send us Fan Mail How close to God do you actually want to be? That question sits at the center of this message as we open Psalm 105:1–4 and slow down on two repeated commands that can reshape a daily walk with Jesus: seek the Lord and His strength, and seek His presence continually. We talk plainly about what “diligently seek God” looks like when it moves from church language to real habits like w...

Send us Fan Mail One question can expose a divided heart: who will you serve right now? We open 1 Kings 18 at Mount Carmel where Elijah confronts a nation stuck between the Lord and Baal, and we let that same challenge land in our modern lives. When pressure hits, comfort calls, and culture makes idols feel normal, a halfhearted faith starts to limp. We talk plainly about how anything can become a...

Send us Fan Mail Fear, suffering, anxiety, temptation, and spiritual pressure are real and they don’t politely wait for Sunday to pass. We lean into a simple but demanding posture that helps us stand firm when life gets loud: BOW. It’s an acronym we keep coming back to because it works in the middle of the struggle, not just after the victory: Believe, Obey, Worship. We start in 1 Peter 5:6-11, wh...

Send us Fan Mail Everything can look “normal” on the outside while your heart is carrying fear, shame, or the quiet thought that you’ve gone too far to change. I open Luke 2 and make one clear claim that cuts through all of that: because Jesus came, everything changed and that includes you and me. We start at the manger and the angel’s announcement of “good news of great joy” for all people. That...

Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how fear tries to set the rules? We take you straight to the front line where strategy decides outcomes long before the first swing. Pastor Lee unpacks a practical, Scripture-rooted battle plan built on prayer, worship, the Word of God, and the full armor described in Ephesians 6—so you stop reacting to pressure and start standing with purpose. We trace the standoff in...

Send us Fan Mail What if the strongest move you can make today is to let go? We walk through Matthew 15:29–31 and watch the crowds bring the lame, the blind, the crippled, and the mute to Jesus—and we see what happens when needs meet His feet. The scene is not sanitized or safe. It’s raw humanity colliding with divine mercy, and it challenges our instinct to tidy our lives before we ask for help....

Send us Fan Mail Feel like you did the right things and still got hit hard? We walk through 2 Chronicles 32 and watch Hezekiah face a brutal Assyrian siege right after a season of faithfulness. The story resets our expectations about trials and shows how real hope is built: prepare with wisdom, pray with honesty, and trust God for what your strength can’t touch. We start with the myth that obedien...

Send us Fan Mail What if “ready” isn’t a feeling you chase but a fact you live from? We open Scripture to Mark 6, Matthew 28, Luke 9, and Matthew 17 to show why Jesus’ authority changes how we move through the world—lighter, bolder, and filled with purpose. The twelve were sent with almost nothing but returned with stories of healing and deliverance. That same pattern holds for us today: travel li...

Send us Fan Mail What if the one thing you can’t fix is the very thing God is using to set you free? We walk through Naaman’s story in 2 Kings 5 and uncover how a celebrated commander with a hidden wound meets a simple, humbling command—and finds more than a cure. From the first moments, we center on Hebrews 4:12 and the living power of Scripture to expose motives, comfort anxious hearts, and resh...

Send us Fan Mail What if the God who spoke light from nothing is ready to speak into your life today? We open Scripture at Genesis 1 and trace that first dawn to the light Christ brings into ordinary lives, making a bold claim: God does not need your “ingredients” to begin a new work. When the Spirit hovered over the deep, order and life followed; when the Spirit moves in us, hope and power rise w...

Send us Fan Mail Manasseh was just twelve years of age when he took the throne.  He became wrapped up in idolatry and a broken life when he finally cried for help. Discover how grace pursues people who should know better but run anyway. The story moves from high places and pagan altars to iron hooks and chains, then to a humbled prayer that God not only hears but answers with restoration. We share...

Send us Fan Mail We open Jeremiah 17 and sit with a surprising pairing: the steady tree planted by water and the sobering truth that the heart is deceitful and sick. That tension becomes our on-ramp to a deeper kind of trust—surrendering to God’s will. From there, we get honest about spiritual clutter. God doesn’t approve when we shove bitterness, envy, and old grudges into the closet. He searches...

Send us Fan Mail Ever wonder what actually makes someone leave family, routine, and comfort to serve in another country? Pastor Lee sits down with Ava and Martin, two missionaries with United in Christ ministry, for a candid, hope-filled conversation about calling, obedience, and the surprising power of simple presence. We talk about how children’s ministry opens doors to entire families, why disc...

Send us Fan Mail What if the person you’re ready to write off becomes tomorrow’s testimony? We sit with the sting of rejection in Luke 9—when a Samaritan village shuts its doors and the disciples reach for the quickest solution: burn it all down. Then we follow the long arc of grace to Acts 8, where the same ground hosts a move of God, and John returns not with wrath, but with open hands and a pra...

Send us Fan Mail A steady heart can stand in the hottest fire. We open Jude 17–23 and Ephesians 6:10–13 to draw a clear map for real-world perseverance: put on the full armor of God, name the true enemy, and move toward the lost with mercy that refuses to quit. This isn’t a pep talk about trying harder; it’s a field guide for relying on the Spirit when the battle feels personal, the doubts get lou...

Send us Fan Mail A husband and wife trace their separate descents into drugs, alcohol, abuse, and shame—and the moments where surrender to Jesus turned survival into purpose.  Charlie and Taylor share how recovery, church, and service keep their marriage steady and their faith alive. • childhood divorce, trauma and early rebellion • eighth grade weed and alcohol leading to harder drugs • blackouts...

Send us Fan Mail What truly controls your choices—stress, pride, fear, or the love of Christ? Pastor Lee opens 2 Corinthians 5:14–15 with a simple but life-altering claim: Jesus died for all, so those who live no longer live for themselves. From that anchor, we walk through what it means to let Christ’s love hold first place in our hearts and habits, shaping every response at home, at work, and in...

Send us Fan Mail We share Paul Butler’s journey from a pastor’s son to a bold witness who led a Christian metal band into bars and biker hangouts, then chose family over the spotlight. The throughline is simple: a father’s love, a mother’s support, and a life tuned to the Holy Spirit. • early memories of a father’s steadfast love • moving for a blind father’s training and starting over • raised in...
