Have you ever found yourself doing all the "right" things in your faith, yet still feeling completely disconnected, dry, or even doubting your own salvation? In this kickoff message of our new series, "Submerged," we are going into the deep water to unpack what it truly means to be saved, stay saved, and feel saved. We break down the stark difference between a checklist religio...

Isolation is the playground of relapse—not just in recovery, but in our faith, our marriages, and our families. In the finale of our "Faith & Family" series, we are pulling back the curtain on a modern cultural epidemic: the conditioning to isolate and normalize loneliness. We’ve traded deep, soul-level community for shallow digital interactions, and it’s leaving our faith dry and ap...

Whether we like it or not, our children are our ultimate "mini-mes"—catching our habits, our words, and our faith in the quiet, unfiltered moments of everyday life. In Part 3 of the Faith & Family series, we are tearing down the legalistic checklists and diving into the raw, beautiful, and sometimes exhausting reality of parenting. From a childhood memory of getting lost off a school...

So many relationships don’t end because of a massive, explosive crisis—they fall apart slowly, an inch at a time, through simple, quiet neglect. It’s an emotional erosion that happens so gradually you don't even notice the ground shifting beneath your feet until the dam suddenly breaks. In Part 2 of the Faith & Family series, we are tearing down the scripts, expectations, and communication...

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right but still running on pure survival mode? You’ve got the job, the family, the routine—but underneath the surface, you’re hitting a wall. In this episode, we are kicking off a brand-new series talking about the one thing that dictates nearly every decision you make and every relationship you build: your core identity. Most of us treat our happiness like a...

In the finale of our "Super Spiritual" series, we are pulling back the layers on the single most destructive root behind toxic religious environments: Pride. It is easy to spot blatant dysfunction from a distance, but what happens when pride wraps itself in a holy costume? In this episode, I share a couple of deeply personal stories from my early days in ministry—from a bizarre, high-con...

Have you ever questioned why you believe what you believe, or have you simply accepted things because they’ve been normalized around you? In Part 3 of the "Super Spiritual" series, we are pulling back the mask on psychological conditioning and modern brainwashing operating under the guise of extra-holy performance. Through the lens of an aggressive, real-world encounter and a deep dive i...

In part two of the "Super Spiritual" series, we pull back the curtain on the "anointing" culture that often masks toxic human ego. Why is it that some of the most "spiritual" environments can become the most controlling? From personal stories of leadership abuse to a deep dive into the historical crisis of the Artemis cult in Ephesus, we explore how Scripture is frequ...

Mother’s Day can be a day of immense joy, but for many, it carries a heavy array of emotions—longing, loss, or the weight of a complicated past. In this special episode, Lauren shares a vulnerable look into her own journey through the seasons of waiting, the pain of miscarriage, and the ultimate restoration of motherhood. But this isn’t just a message for mothers; it’s a message for the human soul...

Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit the "spiritual" mold? Whether it’s the music you listen to, the tattoos on your skin, or just the way you process your emotions, many of us have felt the sting of religious judgment. We’ve all seen it: the "Super Spiritual" facade that prioritizes outward performance over inward heart transformation. In this series opener, Pastor Homer div...

We’re often told that "taking a leap of faith" means closing our eyes and hoping for the best. But what if the most fearless thing you can do is actually open them? In Part 4 of our Fearless series, we’re dismantling the myth of blind faith. Using the story of Nehemiah—a man who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in just 52 days after 140 years of ruin—we explore why preparation isn't a...

Have you ever felt like your faith was eroding simply because of time and silence? We often start a season full of confidence, only to have it crumble when we don’t see immediate validation. In this message, we’re diving deep into the tension of the 'unanswered' prayer. Using the story of Peter on the water and Samuel in the Tabernacle, we explore why God’s silence isn't a sign of His...

Is Your Relationship with God Toxic? In a culture that has "Americanized" the Gospel, have we traded holy reverence for casual entitlement? In Part 2 of the "Fearless" series, we explore the thin line between being honest with God and being irreverent toward Him. We often claim to want a "relationship, not a religion," yet we frequently treat God with less respect than we give to our bosses, our d...

Why Your Plans are Making You Anxious Are you actually living in the best season of your life right now and just too stressed to notice? Most of us have a "mental map" for how our lives are supposed to go. We tell ourselves that if we’re good people and work hard, things should stay on track. But what happens when the plan falls apart? Usually, we spiral. We hide behind locked doors of a...

Have you ever felt like you’re being buried by life? Between the messy house, the "failed" projects, and the weight of seasons that feel more like dirt than daylight, it’s easy to feel forgotten. But what if you aren’t being buried—what if you’re being planted ? Whether you’re holding a coffee-stained Bible, mourning a dream, or struggling to find the confidence to try again after a &quo...

We’ve all heard the phrase “just trust God,” but in the middle of We’ve been told that surrender is a white flag—a passive, quiet state of waiting for God to move. But what if surrender is actually a sprint? In the final installment of our "Surrender" series, we’re deconstructing the "polite" version of faith and replacing it with something more daring. From the "wrestling...

We’ve all heard the phrase “just trust God,” but in the middle of a crisis, that can feel more like a dismissal than a solution. Does trusting God mean we have to pretend we aren’t hurting? Does it mean we stop taking responsibility for our lives? In the third installment of our "Surrender" series, we’re stripping away the religious clichés to look at the raw, biblical reality of what it...

Ever felt like you were "doing faith wrong" because you didn't fit the mold? In Part 2 of our "Surrender" series, we’re looking at why your spiritual journey is uniquely yours. From the confusion of old-school religious rules to the freedom of hearing God’s voice for yourself, we explore what it actually means to "stretch." It’s not about checking off a religious checklist; it’s about becoming a v...

Why does spiritual growth feel so inconsistent? Why do we pray for change but end up repeating the same patterns? In Part 1 of the new series Surrender , we explore what true surrender actually looks like. Using the imagery of a seed, we unpack the process of being buried, breaking through, and blossoming into the life God designed for us. Jesus said that unless a seed dies, it remains alone. And...

Topics covered: • The Four Horsemen of Revelation • The Beast and anti-Christ explained • The mark of the be...

Eight years ago, Gravetop Church launched with 18 people in a living room and a simple decision to obey God. No building. No large team. No perfect plan. Just willingness. In this 8-year anniversary message, Pastor Homer shares the journey of how one decision led to salvations, baptisms, leadership development, outreach, recovery ministry, and a growing church community in San Antonio. Through Act...

Revelation isn’t just about the future—it’s about the present. In this message, we slow down and listen to the letters written to the seven churches in Revelation. Instead of rushing through symbols or getting lost in speculation, we focus on patterns: how Jesus speaks, what He affirms, what He corrects, and why it all matters today. Each letter reveals a different side of Jesus, not because He ch...

Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books in the Bible—and often one of the most avoided. In this episode, we kick off the series Understanding Revelation by slowing things down and learning how to read the book the way it was meant to be read. We talk about why prophecy isn’t always straightforward, how symbolic visions work, why Revelation moves back and forth instead of in a straight ti...

What does it actually mean to put God first—not just in belief, but in real life? In this message, we walk through three defining truths that reshape how we see faith: the Greatest Commandment , the Great Commission , and the Greatest Relationship . This isn’t about religious performance, personal improvement, or checking spiritual boxes. It’s about love that shows up in action, obedience that doe...
