Faithfulness That Grows | Dream Big | Week 6 15.02.2026 29:35
What if the most dangerous move is playing it safe? We open Matthew 25 and wrestle with the Parable of the Talents as a living blueprint for money, mission, and movement. The thread running through every story and challenge is simple: how you see God shapes what you build. If you believe He’s harsh, you bury. If you know He’s good, you build. From fasting and prayer to a bold vision for community...

Day 9 | Dream Big Devotional | Kayce Eilermann 12.02.2026 8:34
We trace how Romans 10 moves from belief to hearing to telling, and why unity and urgency belong together. Saul’s transformation into Paul, a split church in Rome, and a challenge from an atheist converge to push us past preference and into courageous speech. • reading Romans 10:13–15 and its logic of hearing and belief • Saul’s encounter with Jesus and mission shift to Paul • Rome’s church tensio...
DAY 8 | Dream Big Devotional | Caleb Pellizzer 11.02.2026 7:13
We explore Philippians 4:15–20 to show how generous partnership shapes the giver, why attitude matters in sacrifice, and how God supplies needs far beyond money. Fasting becomes a pathway to new victories, deeper anointing, and relationships that last, with all glory to God. • Philippians’ unique support of Paul’s mission • Fruit credited to the giver, not just the gift • Sacrifice as fragrant off...
DAY 7 | Dream Big Devotional | Mike Pleon 10.02.2026 14:58
We explore John 15 to show why abiding in Jesus is the only way to lasting fruit and joy. We talk about pruning as love, priorities that protect our yes, and how kingdom impact outgrows personal success, then close with a guided prayer. • Jesus as the true vine and the Father as vinedresser • Abiding as continual presence that resources life • The gap between cultural success and eternal longing •...
Day 6 | Dream Big Devotional | Mattea Pellizzer 09.02.2026 11:47
We share encouragement for week one of a 21‑day fast, then walk through 1 Corinthians 3:10–16 to explore building on Christ, resisting comparison, and doing Spirit‑led work that lasts. We close by naming distractions, embracing conviction, and praying for bold obedience. • replacing what you give up with prayer and time with God • reading and unpacking 1 Corinthians 3:10–16 • Christ as the only fo...
Humility | Dream Big | Week 5 08.02.2026 32:56
A king on his deathbed and bridesmaids waiting in the dark ask the same piercing question: are we truly prepared, or do we only look prepared? We open with Hezekiah’s story in 2 Kings 20—his desperate prayer, God’s mercy, and the gut-check that follows when he shows everything to visiting envoys. Isaiah’s warning lands hard: today’s shortcuts become tomorrow’s losses. That moment exposes a mindset...
Day 5 | Dream Big Devotional | Jodi Miller 06.02.2026 9:03
We read Isaiah 9 and trace its promise from a humbled Galilee to Jesus, who brings a great light into real, modern darkness. We talk about spiritual night, Gideon’s odds, and how God places us in our towns to carry hope with courage and clarity. • Isaiah 9 read and unpacked • historical context of Zebulun and Naphtali • modern expressions of darkness and conscience • Jesus as the great light fulfi...
Day 4 | Dream Big Devotional | Shaun Williamson 05.02.2026 9:15
We trace Hebrews 9:1–14 from tabernacle rituals to the finished work of Christ, showing how a cleansed conscience changes worship and service. We ask hard questions about striving, guilt, and the freedom to serve God with joy and access. • structure of the tabernacle and priestly roles • limits of the old covenant and repeated sacrifices • Christ as high priest and the greater tabernacle • once-fo...

Day 1 | Dream Big Devotional | Jamey Bridges 03.02.2026 6:55
We call the church to a 21-day journey of big faith rooted in 2 Chronicles, shifting our focus from control to trust. We point to Solomon’s humility, the true Temple in Jesus, and why every God-sized vision exists to help people encounter God. • grounding vision in God’s greatness not our resources • humility as clarity rather than insecurity • small God small prayers versus bold obedience • build...
Day 2 | Dream Big Devotional | Jodi Miller 03.02.2026 7:41
We trace Stephen’s final message in Acts 7 to ask a simple, hard question: what kind of house are we building for a God who cannot be contained by stone? We challenge one another to give God full access to every room of our inner lives during these twenty-one days. • context from Acts 6–7 and Stephen’s charges • Isaiah’s claim that God transcends temples • Solomon’s confession that heaven cannot c...
Faith | Dream Big | Week 4 01.02.2026 39:57
What if the greater miracle we’re missing is forgiveness—and what if that truth changes how we build, give, serve, and dream? We walk through a candid family conversation about mission, money, and momentum, then lay out why bold obedience matters when comfort begins to cap calling. We start by naming the real barriers: packed parking lots, stretched kids’ spaces, and the limits of three services t...
Invitation Over Condemnation | Dream Big | Week 3 18.01.2026 37:29
Ever felt the weight of religious expectations but missed the warmth of being known by name? We lean into the story of Zacchaeus to show how Jesus flips the script—choosing invitation over condemnation and relationship over performance—and why that shift still disrupts our assumptions today. Grace moves first, and when it does, real change follows without manipulation or pressure. We unpack how cu...

Wendell Lynch | From Addiction To Purpose | This Is Life 12.01.2026 35:12
Wendell sits down with us to trace a jagged path from a strict church upbringing to years lost in addiction, from chasing belonging in all the wrong places to raising his hands in a hallway at home and discovering that surrender is the only kind of strength that holds. What follows is a raw, deeply hopeful conversation about purpose, identity, and the stubborn power of prayer. We talk about how a...
The Path to Flourishing | Dream Big | Week 2 11.01.2026 31:52
Start with a better question than “What’s my plan?” Try this: “Is my relationship with Jesus flourishing?” Everything else—work, money, marriage, even vacations—looks different when your soul moves from dormant to blooming. We explore a clear, four-step path rooted in Ephesians 1 and framed by the vivid image of Death Valley’s rare super bloom. First, know God intimately—beyond Sunday routines and...
A Conversation with Jamey & Kelly | Dream Big | Week 1 06.01.2026 35:59
We look back on 15 years of growth, celebrate 130 baptisms, and lay out a clear vision for 2026 built on family, accountability, and courage. We talk miracles, foster care, crisis care teams, and a dream that’s bigger than any building. • remembering early days and first-parade stories • why baptisms keep the focus on Jesus • growth in leadership through anxiety, miracles and trust • foster care,...

Mike Goodsell | From War To Worship | This is Life 04.01.2026 36:12
A casual holiday opener quickly gives way to one of the most arresting testimonies we’ve hosted: Mike’s path from a fractured childhood and counterfeit models of manhood to the discipline of the military, the shock of Iraq, and a visceral encounter with Christ that ended fence-sitting for good. He takes us through Al Kut under siege, the gnawing fear of not coming home, and the moment a sculptor’s...
Nick Bafaro | From Chaos To Clarity | This Is Life 29.12.2025 36:29
Nick grew up under the weight of fear, traded pain for weed and whiskey, and spiraled into a front-porch fire, a stack of felonies, and 120 days that could have become 10 years. He walked out determined to live, then drifted back into alcohol and cocaine until shame and a father’s stinging letter nearly broke him. Hannah’s steady presence kept him breathing. A friend’s invite got them through the...
Christmas Eve At Life Community: Found, Not Seeking 26.12.2025 28:50
What if the best news of Christmas isn’t that you finally got it together, but that Jesus came for you before you could? We set aside the noise to read John 1 and talk honestly about the gap between our holiday expectations and the reality of frozen cinnamon rolls, missing batteries, and complicated feelings—and why that gap is exactly where grace shines. We walk through the first Christmas as it...
God With Us At Christmas | Christmas Stories | Week 4 21.12.2025 35:22
We trace Isaiah’s promise of Emmanuel through Matthew’s Gospel and show how Jesus’ four names answer fear, division, and doubt during the Christmas season. Presence, not performance, sits at the center: grace given, peace established, and hope made concrete in a person. • Isaiah’s prophecy to a nation in darkness • Emmanuel as the promise of presence • Grace as a gift received not earned • Governm...
