What happens when you feel broken beyond repair? When you’re convinced you’re too cracked, too compromised, too unusable for God’s purposes?    Dexter Jakes takes us to Jeremiah 18 to reveal what God actually does with broken vessels.

Why does it feel like you’re fighting battles you can’t seem to win?    In “The Victory Zone,” Touré Roberts reveals one of life’s most-valuable lessons: The greatest battles in life aren’t fought in the natural — they’re won in the spirit.

Warfare isn’t bad news if you understand that victory is already secure.    Touré Roberts unpacks a truth from Romans 5:1-5 that will fundamentally shift how you approach every battle. The real damage isn’t the opposition itself. It’s the distraction. The enemy’s strategy is to pull you away from your purpose, your identity, and your authority...

What happens when God interrupts the course of your life?    This week’s Walk It Out Wednesday explores Acts 9 and Saul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “How did I get here?”    Many times, we don’t recognize we’re in a battle until something has already been lost — a relationship, our peace, or our sense of purpose and direction. But spiritual warfare isn’t an event that suddenly begins. It’s the reality we’ve been living in all a...

Pressure isn’t a sign you’re off track; it’s God breaking up the ground so your harvest can grow.     In this panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson take us through Acts 6-10, revealing what real growth looks like when the foundation is tested.  They challenge the myth that titles produce work, exp...

Pain may be loud, but it doesn’t get the final word.     In “Help Is on the Way,” Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that God never asks us to ignore our pain, but He invites us to bring it into His presence. Gratitude and grief can exist in the same heart, and trusting God in the process is how we walk through it with Him.    In Jo...

Sometimes we’re surrounded by so much noise, fear, and pressure that we don’t hear heaven’s sound.    But God is still speaking.    This Walk It Out Wednesday conversation continues unpacking “The Great Gathering” and the power of Pentecost, exploring how the Holy Spirit gives us boldness, breakthrough, and the strength to...

Some seasons feel scattered. But on Pentecost Sunday, Bishop T.D.

How do you respond when God starts removing what used to comfort you?    In this message, Touré Roberts walks through John 15 and reframes what it really means to be pruned. Because what looks like loss is actually development.    God isn’t removing things to harm you. He’s cutting away what you don’t need so you can become who ...

Jakes, Touré unpacks what it truly means to know God in the middle of the unknown. From the “Be Still and Know” principle to how God strips and reveals Himself slowly — th...

We talk about the cross, the resurrection, and the blood of Jesus … But how does it actually apply to your life? Can it help overcome fear when fear’s holding you back?

In this Walk It Out Wednesday conversation, we continue our journey on the road to Pentecost — breaking down how what happened after the resurrection impacts yo...

What do you do when everything around you seems to tell you nothing good is coming? News cycles filled with uncertainty. Personal setbacks. Moments that don’t make sense. And yet God’s word still stands, telling us: Something good is about to happen. Touré Roberts unpacks the deeper truth behind Jeremiah 29:11 — one of scripture’s most well-known promises. It wasn’t spoken in comfort — it was spok...

Are you holding on to a recent failure? Peter was too. He went back to fishing — back to what was familiar — because he thought his time with Jesus was over.
