Fixate PHX

What is sustaining you? What do you put into your heart and soul that strengthens you to run the race in front of you? We have to find the nourishment in which the spiritual practical needs we have are assessed in the personhood of Christ. What you consume is what sustains. Be proactive in knowing what you are consuming.

Let's face it, we have good intentions, yet they can somehow still result in bad outcomes. We must renew our mind and commune with the Father daily or we will do and become the very things we hate. What are you doing to have good intentions and good outcomes? How do you live out God's intent for you? If you don't know where to start, you're listening to the right thing :)

Repentance at it's core is you saying that the Gospel is worth the behavior being changed. Repentance is a habit of commitment to your mind being changed. When you change your mind of living in this world you start to see a world that is not of it. Repentance is a gift of awareness. WORSHIP. PRAYER. REPENTANCE. REDUNDANTLY.

Do you have a habit of sharing your faith in your day to day life? We need to make sure that the great commission is not the great omission in our walk with Him. The crowd/society will always be an obstacle that will validate why you think you can't. We have a great opportunity for the purity of the Gospel to shine through. Community is the mission. The mission is community.

Due to technical difficulties the first few minutes of the message are not included . When God comes to prune our lives, it is intentional. He invites us to greater fruit by the removal of the things that don't produce it. Wounded sons and daughters make bitter mothers and fathers. Fight for healing. We were born again, not born against. Fight for peace. The cross comes before the crown. Fight aga...

There are things in your life you will sacrifice anything for, is scripture one of them? Are you willing to change your behaviors, do you change your theology so your behavior feels better? When we do not understand or teach the Bible FULLY we allow culture to fill in the gaps, creating room for people to create offshoot religions and speculations of what the Bible really says. We will be people w...

When the whole of us, is consumed with the whole of Him, we can become holy as He is holy. May we read the Bible hungry to rid ourselves of the spiritual ignorance that robs us of deeper intimacy in Him. We choose the Bible, for it is the way forward and it points to Him. May His words be the words we speak, know, become and utter when there are no words left to say. There are so many competing vo...

"Speak, your servant is listening" May our prayer life not be one that only consists of emergency, consumeristic, comfort driven prayers, but prayers of practicality, power and communion with the Father. We look through the lens of 1 Samuel 3:1-20, as we go deeper into what it means to walk in the wholisitc habit of prayer. The enemy is okay with you praying comfortable prayers, but if your prayer...

How aware of God, are you? Do you care to know Him more? What if you could view prayer as a moment of intimacy, experiencing Heaven on earth? There are many opinions and lenses we can look through when it comes to "how to pray", but listen and learn with us as we implement how Jesus commands us to pray in Matthew 6:6-12. May we be a contemplative people, who hear and do.

Do you holistically follow Him in every aspect of your life? Entirely. Fully. Completely. Totally. Absolutely. Thoroughly. Join us in this collection of messages, as we learn to live a WHOLY life, walking always with the Father.

Christ came for all by showing He came from all. Have you ever read the Bible and come across a long list of names and get slightly confused and a little overwhelmed? We understand. But trust us, these names have much greater meaning than you may have once thought or understood. The genealogy we find at the very start of the New Testament in Matthew 1 sets the table for who Jesus is, where He came...

Remaining steadfast, looks like facing adversity we didn't see coming, and NOT having an identity crisis. Remaining steadfast means filtering your response behaviors through God, and through past provision. Remaining steadfast means preparing for the times when we will be tempted to believe that we are not seen or loved by God. Be encouraged to live a life of steadfastness, in constant pursuit of...

When the thoughts of ' I'm not good enough.' 'I have no future.' 'No one loves or accepts me for who I am.' are believed, it is hard to have a seat at the table of victory when we have a defeated mindset. Listen along, as we learn how to sit at a the Kings table, even with a limp, through the lens of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel.

Sustainability is not what you do when things are good, it’s who you are when things are bad. In the purification process, the value of what’s being purified increases. We pray you are encouraged, challenged and strengthened as we talk about how to sustain when you know there will be pain.

Do you believe that God is your sustainer? How do you model sustainability in your life? Do you live a life that is prepared to brightly burn through the dark days? A life that doesn't lead to being burn out and run down, but one that is holistically healthy. May we not live a life of hyper productivity that leads to barely functioning, in the pursuit of proving ourselves. There is a fullness and...

If you have depth and sacrifice without discipline, you’ll have burnout. If you have discipline and sacrifice without depth, you’ll have legalism. May we live a life of sustainability, through the pursuits of depth in the Spirit, discipline in the ways of Jesus, and a lifestyle of healthy sacrifice in the example of which our Savior set. Fixate is a place in which Heaven touches earth and turns ou...

When we are rooted in the wholeness of the Spirit, sacrifice gets the world's attention. Generosity, sacrifice, giving..all words that may instantly cause your walls to go up, and at time, for valid reasons. Join us in this conversation of understanding the Biblical posture of generosity, how the church has gotten in wrong and what we can do going forward. Sometimes our anything doesn't feel like...

When you have depth and discipline you understand that sacrifice is an example we set that shows who is above us. Maybe the word "sacrifice" makes you cringe, or causes your walls to go up, but journey with us as we unfold what sacrifice has become and what it biblically means for all of us. Sacrifice is dirty humility and messy compassion. We do what is beneath us, to show Who is above us. Compas...

Biblical rest is a redefining of God as the Creator and producer. We learn in Hebrews, that we have a call to be diligent to enter into rest. Being rootless, enflames restlessness. Self help theology, apart from God, can not restore and revive humanity. As you listen to this podcast, allow yourself to go into a time of honest reflection. Our heart is for every believer to find true rest that susta...

Do you think of the Sanctuary as a place of refuge, abiding, covering or safety? Did you know that Jesus' first words recorded in Scripture were regarding His need to be found in the church, consumed with all things God? Disciplines of the Sanctuary must be in place so when the devastation of detours happen in life, we aren't taken out. We continue our walk through the Formation of the Fixated, by...

Depth is being rooted in Scripture and Spirit. Let's walk and learn together in what it looks like to be formed by the Father as we are fixated on Him. When things don't dictate depth, do you have depth? Jesus today we come before you, and ask for renewed perspective on desolate seasons. Father would you give us depth, to withstand what feels like fighting for breath, as the waves churn around us....

This week we spent some time talking about being formed by DEPTH with the Father. We long for the depths of God, the depth of relationship that only comes from intentional time spent with Him. A depth that reshapes and reforms us into His image and likeness. We don't long to just "get" from Him, but to gain the things of Him. Let us, together, return to the times of refreshing that He has for us....

Restoring us back to what brings peace to our souls, not just peace to our circumstances. Scripture reference: Judges 4:17-22 key points : you don't have to be somebody, to be somebody - faith and obedience practiced and lived out is what makes you somebody when we profess Lordship, He confronts other places that hold that Lordship. being a follower of Christ is not just faith and action and obedi...
