Freedom Church in Williston, ND

A single sentence can follow you for years. We go after why that happens, why we often ration encouragement while letting critique and complaint spill out, and how Scripture treats our words as more than “just speech.” Pastor Jason shares an honest story from his own past, then brings us to Proverbs and Matthew 12: the tongue carries the power of life and death, and what comes out of our mouths re...

Forgiveness is easy to praise and hard to practice, especially when the wound is real, the apology never comes, or the person who hurt you still wants access to your life. We’ve picked up bad ideas about what forgiveness is supposed to look like. “Move on.” “Forget it.” “Stop feeling it.” None of that heals a heart, and none of it matches the way Scripture talks about forgiveness.

We talk about why sin is not a scoreboard but a deforming force that reshapes our desires, habits, and identity. We name four “blockages of the heart” that keep our soul unrestored and our flesh unsurrendered, then ask the Holy Spirit to search us, cleanse us, and make us new. Click here for message notes.

For too many people life with Jesus feels like anything but the "easy yoke" and "light burden" He is inviting us into. Why? Life has a way of feeling heavy when you’re carrying guilt, hiding behind a mask, or trying to build a new life in Jesus on old foundations that were laid when we weren't even thinking about Him.

The most dangerous lie shame tells is that hiding will keep you safe. We start with the Genesis garden, not as a children’s story, but as a blueprint for what still happens in real life: a simple question becomes a slow drift, our own “what makes sense to me” replaces God’s Word as final authority, and suddenly we’re covering up and pulling away from the very God who’s looking for us.

The gap between the life you want and the life you’re living often comes down to one decision: will you follow what makes sense to you, or will you follow Jesus even when it doesn’t?

You can believe in God and still keep Him at arm’s length. That distance feels safe, but it locks you into a life you have to manage alone, with all the anxiety and exhaustion that comes with it. God doesn’t want to be your landlord, showing up only when something breaks. He wants to be your Father, with real relationship and real access to every corner of your life.  Freedom Church is a growing,...

The moment life gets uncertain, we all start doing the same thing: we count. We count money, time, options, wins, losses, and worst case scenarios. But there’s a haunting question underneath all that math: are we counting to be wise, or counting to feel safe? We sit in the tension between my resources and God’s record. Pastor Jason shares real stories from family life and church planting that high...

Monday morning can feel like a countdown to stress, but what if your workplace is actually one of God’s main tools for shaping you? We dig into a surprising framework for a Christian view of work: God isn’t only interested in what you achieve on the job, He’s deeply committed to who you’re becoming through it. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of performance, approval, and exhaustion, this co...

Your body can take a day off and your mind still won’t stop running. We’re chasing something deeper: the kind of rest Jesus calls “rest for your souls,” the settled, quiet strength you can’t buy with a bigger paycheck or a perfect schedule. If you’re carrying the weight of nonstop work, family pressure, and the feeling that you’re always behind, this conversation is for you. We connect the dots be...

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll finally feel satisfied when I get a better job, a bigger paycheck, or more recognition,” this message meets you right there and challenges the assumption. We talk about work satisfaction and vocation in a way that’s grounded in Scripture and real life. Freedom Church is a growing, life-giving, Spirit-filled church in Williston, ND committed to our mission of Reaching...

Work gets the majority of our attention, yet most of us were never taught how to connect our Monday to our faith without either idolizing our career or minimizing it as “just a job.” We pull that tension into the open and talk about calling in a way that’s clear, biblical, and practical for real life. Freedom Church is a growing, life-giving, Spirit-filled church in Williston, ND committed to our...

We challenge the sacred versus secular split and rebuild a biblical theology of work that gives everyday labor real purpose. We trace work back to Genesis, show how the gospel reshapes our motives, and pray for integrity, excellence, and partnership with Jesus in the workplace.  • work taking most of our waking hours yet rarely viewed theologically  • defining work as creative energy from God that...

We talk about the Holy Spirit as God’s real partnership for the hard climb of life, not a last-minute boost we reach for when we’re struggling.

We talk about why real change is not self-reinvention but renewal through the Holy Spirit. We unpack how attention, habits, repentance, and time work together as God forms us into people who actually live what we believe.  • the difference between trying harder and being renewed  • sanctification as working out what God puts within us  • exposure and attention as the hidden forces shaping our live...

If you’ve ever wished you could pick up a red phone and hear God spell out your next step, you’re not alone. We get honest about why “God told me” can sound confident in someone else’s mouth while the rest of us feel stuck in fog, especially when the decision is big: a move, a job change, a family choice, or a conflict you don’t know how to navigate.  

If you’ve ever wondered whether the Holy Spirit is “weird,” only for certain Christians, or mainly about emotional moments, we get it. The way you understand the Holy Spirit will shape whether you keep your distance, chase hype, or actually receive what God is offering.

Parenting can flip from a heartfelt blessing to a pants-related meltdown in under a minute, and that’s not just funny, it’s revealing. Pastor Jason shares a grounded, Bible-based parenting message that starts where most advice doesn’t: our hearts. We dig into why your ability to be led by God directly impacts your ability to lead your children, and why integrity isn’t about being perfect, it’s abo...

Sex is everywhere, yet so many of us feel either confused, pressured, or quietly ashamed. We go straight at the question most people avoid: who has really discipled your beliefs about sex and where did those beliefs come from? We share why Jesus isn’t trying to ruin your life or steal your joy, but to reclaim his voice in an area that shapes your body, your emotions, and your future.

Conflict is guaranteed in every home, but bitterness is not. We dig into a myth that quietly wrecks marriages, parenting, and friendships: the idea that great relationships should just happen naturally. When real life shows up, that expectation turns normal tension into panic, avoidance, or blowups and we start treating conflict like proof something is broken instead of an invitation to grow. Usin...

Your family doesn’t have to implode to be unhealthy. Sometimes it just drifts, one rushed week at a time, until your priorities are out of sync and you’re stuck managing symptoms instead of building something strong. We talk about what it looks like to lead at home with intention, especially when you want a better marriage, healthier kids, and a home culture that can last through every season. We...

This is Week 1 of our new series, A Better Way To Lead At Home. Families don’t usually fall apart in one dramatic moment. More often, they drift through small habits we keep tolerating until they feel normal, then we wake up years later asking, “How did we get here?” We’re kicking off our Family Series by naming that hidden force the Bible calls iniquity: the bent patterns that shape a home, repea...

Failure doesn’t just hurt, it rewrites the story we tell about ourselves. When we blow it, most of us sprint to excuses, image control, or silence. Some of us disappear spiritually while still showing up physically. Others hustle harder, trying to pay God back. That cycle creates a kind of yo-yo faith where we feel close to God only when we feel “good enough.” We go to John 21 and sit with Peter a...

If you’ve ever prayed hard, waited long, and started to wonder whether God is actually coming, John 11 is your story. We open up the Lazarus account and sit in the uncomfortable middle where grief is real, timing feels unfair, and faith is tested by silence. What we find there isn’t a formula for miracles, it’s a Person who steps into the pain and refuses to leave us alone in it. We talk about the...

You can chase spectacular signs and still miss the miracle happening right next to you: a friend who refuses to let you stay stuck. We talk about a quieter kind of God-moment that doesn’t come with special effects, but changes everything through presence, persistence, and love. We name the problem a lot of us feel but rarely admit: spiritual isolation. We’re surrounded by “connection” and still en...
