Our beliefs define our reality . Bad beliefs lead to bad thoughts, bad feelings, and bad behavior. Fortunately, that system also works in reverse. When our beliefs align with the Truth, good things happen almost automatically. The question is " Do our beliefs produce behavior that looks like Jesus? " Today Danny Hochstatter compares and contrasts important beliefs about God. If you enjoy...

We have heard a lot of things said about God but not all of them are true. We need to look carefully at these claims because an incorrect belief about God may be greatly affecting our relationship with Him or our overall wellbeing. Today Danny & Natalie take a closer look at some of these claims. If you enjoyed this message, please review and share this message with someone who needs it. Conne...

Ephesians 4 lays out the 5 crucial functions that a body must perform in order to demonstrate the fullness of Jesus Christ and His ministry on the earth. We believe each person is built to excel at 1 or 2 of these fivefold assignments and we know that we are all to be equipped in each area. Today Danny Hochstatter shares what the church can truly become when these 5 functions are all active! If yo...

Are you doing what you were MADE to do or just what you were TOLD to do? Just because we can do something doesn't mean we were designed to do it. Discovering our design will help us function more effortlessly in our life and help us be of more service to those around us. Today Danny Hochstatter plays around with this concept.

God has made this world to work together in a systematic way. Many of God's blessings are random but rather the result of someone tapping into God's systems of blessing and acting in accordance with His design.

Life can be heavy but what is heaviest to you may be light for someone else. How can we use our strengths to help others while also allowing others to help life what is heavy for us?

We create the future we see in our minds. When we ask God what Heaven looks like in our lives and our communities, He will give us a clear Vision of what we are to build and once we see it in our minds, it's just a matter of time and effort before it becomes our reality.

“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things ,  42  but ONE THING is necessary.  Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her. ” (Luke 10:41-42). We get so busy with so many things that we think are important but, in doing so, we miss the one thing that actually matters the most. MORE does not mean BETTER. I don't want to be BUSY, I want to be FRUI...

What is the difference between the Soul and the Spirit? And while the Bible seems to care more about our spiritual life than our physical one, what role does that Body play in a balanced, healthy life? Today Danny, Natalie, and Andrew discuss these 3 components in the context of personal wellbeing. If you enjoyed this message, please review and share this message with someone who needs it.

Heaven was giddy with uncontainable excitement just before Jesus was born! Angels and forces conspired to ensure that Jesus was revealed. I would like to propose that Heaven is just as giddy to see Jesus Christ revealed in each of us as well. Whether it was in a manger all those years ago OR in simply your mind, your heart, or your behavior, all of Heaven loses their minds at the thought of seeing...

Whatever we focus on will grow in our hearts and minds. When we focus on the GOOD in the people around us, we honor the gold that has been placed within them and it grows. When we focus on the BAD in people, we only grow in our awareness of those bad things. What if honor is the key to turning our hearts towards those that we view as wrong or 'less-than' in our lives? Today Natalie Hochsta...

"The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is not so wonderful for many. While family is a HUGE blessing, it can be tough. How do we connect with our families intentionally, improve our relationships, and maintain peace in our homes this Christmas? Today Joe Barlow shares what he has learned as the 10th or 14 kids and a father of 7 about keeping peace in the home. If you enjoyed this message,...

We don't pray to change God's mind, we pray to change our own. Prayer is simply conversation with God but there are several layers of deep revelation to be found within the act of prayer. This message is an attempt to bring light to a few facets of this transformative, life-giving, and powerful practice. Today Danny Hochstatter gets us fired up about prayer! If you enjoyed this message, pl...

Jesus did not begin His ministry or perform any miracles until he received the Holy Spirit. If Jesus didn't do His work until He had the Holy Spirit, neither should we! Water Baptism is a public display of our choice to follow Jesus, but being Baptized in the Spirit, in fire, that is when the Holy Spirit doesn't just live in you, it begins to flow through you and out to the world! Today Na...

Any living thing that ONLY receives dies. Any living thing that ONLY gives dies. We are meant to be in a constant rhythm of giving and receiving. One without the other leads to death. We are the salt of the earth but when too much salt is concentrated in one place, we become bitter and lifeless. This is what happens in the Dead Sea. Despite receiving Millions of fresh water every day, without an o...

If your faith feels lifeless then we are missing what faith is all about! God wants to breathe fresh life back into your relationship with Him. Revival is simply means bringing something back life beginning in ourselves, then our families, then our community, then the world. Jesus is alive and active! Come to Him and receive new life in abundance and then share it with all who are willing to liste...

In John 15:7, Jesus says "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." So what does it mean to abide? What do we desire? And will it really be done? What if God wants us to be asking for more than we think. What if our humility is hindering God's generosity? Today Joe Cirafici challenges us all to believe that God is bett...

God is always speaking but are we always listening? What are the different means and mechanisms by which we hear Him? God longs for us to draw near and develop a relationship with Him but how do we do that practically? Today Natalie Hochstatter invites us to communicate with God more intimately.

We all understand the feeling of being " Not Enough ." Not smart enough, wealthy enough, good enough, etc. But when Paul asked God to remove his weakness, God responded by saying "My grace is enough for you." (2 Cor 12:9). How does God's grace close the gap on where we lack and make it into "enough?" What if it's within our weakness that the grace of God works...

Jesus prays in John 17 that we would be ONE but in Genesis 11, the people at the tower of Babel WERE one and God dispersed them. Maybe not all "Oneness" is created equal. What then does true "Oneness" look like in the Kingdom of Heaven? Today Vito LoCascio paints a picture of true unity amongst believers. If you enjoyed this message, please review and share this message with so...

We all make mistakes, but how do we respond to them in our relationships? Do we demand repayment and punishment, like the Law, or do we extend grace and allow our love to make room for shared imperfection? Jesus taught us a whole new way to respond to people who miss the mark AND His sacrifice enables us to do the same. Today Danny & Natalie talk about how grace empowers and transforms our rel...

Grace has the power to change things but what is it exactly? It's a gift, it's a force, it's a mindset, and it's a catalyst. When we receive a gift we don't deserve, we are moved to live a life worthy of the price that was paid for it. This is why Jesus died for us. The only one who was truly worthy gave up his life for the unworthy so that the unworthy may become worthy. Today...

God is always presenting us with incredible opportunities to participate in His work but if we're not listening, we'll miss it. When we keep an ear turned toward heaven, moment-to-moment, then when He speaks, we can respond and be ready to see what God wants to do right here, right now. Today Joe Barlow shares a legacy of Holy Spirit-inspired miraculous moments. If you enjoyed this message...
