Faith Beyond Sunday 08.10.2026 25minFaith was never meant to stay inside the walls of a church. What you believe shapes the way you live, work, lead, serve, and engage with the people and world around you. The challenge is learning to live those convictions publicly without losing humility, grace, or love along the way. Following Jesus means becoming salt and light wherever you are—and allowing your life as well as your words to reflect what you believe. -
Truth In The Public Square 07.10.2026 24minSome beliefs become so familiar that we stop questioning them. But when an idea shapes the way we think about morality, freedom, and public life, it deserves a closer look. Rather than simply accepting what the culture around us says, faith calls us to examine what we believe and recognize the difference between truth and deception. The beliefs we build our lives on matter because they eventually shape how we live. -
Personal Responsibility 06.10.2026 24minLife is tough, unfair, and full of challenges—but you were made to overcome. In this powerful message, Dr. Ben Young dives into John 10:10, showing how resurrecting personal responsibility can transform your life, even in the hardest seasons. If you’re ready to stop blaming and start living the life God intended for you, this broadcast will fire you up. Don’t miss it! -
Unmasking Evil In Today’s World 05.10.2026 25minFear about the future. Toxic thoughts that won’t go away. Guilt from the past that keeps resurfacing. Life can feel like a battle from several directions at once, but God doesn’t leave us defenseless. The armor of God reminds us that our greatest strength isn’t found in trying harder—it begins with knowing who we are in Christ and trusting that He will see us through. -
The Strategies Of Satan 02.10.2026 25minIt’s one thing to regret something you’ve done. It’s another to let that regret shape the way you see yourself. When mistakes become labels, it’s easy to start hiding, striving, and wondering whether you’ll ever truly measure up. But God’s grace speaks a stronger word: you don’t have to justify yourself or build a perfect record to be accepted by Him. Your confidence can rest in Jesus rather than your ability to get everything right. -
Deliver Us From Evil 01.10.2026 25minStanding for what you believe can become difficult when your convictions run against the prevailing culture. The temptation may be to stay quiet, compromise, or view the people who disagree with you as the enemy. But Scripture points toward a deeper battle and a different response: put on the armor of God, recognize deception, and remain grounded in truth. Courage doesn’t require fear of the future—it grows from confidence that God remains present no matter what changes around us. -
Faith and Reason 30.09.2026 24minFaith and reason are often treated like opposites, as though becoming more thoughtful means becoming less faithful. But some of life’s biggest questions require more than choosing between your head and your heart. Jesus invites us to love God with all that we are—including our minds, questions, trust, and desires. An authentic faith doesn’t have to be afraid of honest questions; it can become stronger through the search for truth. -
More Than Positive Thinking 29.09.2026 24minHave you ever wondered if you have enough faith? It’s easy to assume that real faith means having no doubts, feeling completely certain, or believing strongly enough to get the outcome you want. But authentic faith isn’t about manufacturing certainty or convincing God to follow our plans. It’s learning to trust Him through uncertainty, unanswered questions, changing circumstances, and outcomes we cannot control. -
The Enemy’s Greatest Strategy 28.09.2026 25minIt’s easy to recognize evil when it makes headlines. It’s much harder to recognize the subtle ways it works its way into our own thoughts, choices, and relationships. Temptation rarely announces itself—it persuades, rationalizes, and tells us the consequences won’t be that serious. Examining the voices shaping our decisions can help reveal the places where we may be deceiving ourselves and point us toward a better way forward. -
Growing Faith 25.09.2026 25minSometimes the hardest part of faith isn't believing—it's trusting God when the answers don't come. In those moments, it's easy to feel alone. See why some of the strongest faith is formed not by having every answer, but by continuing to walk with God through the questions. -
Choosing Greatness 24.09.2026 25minSometimes the strongest things we can do begin by setting something aside. Throughout Scripture, people fasted in seasons of uncertainty, grief, and preparation—not to change God, but to let God change them. Whether you're seeking wisdom, direction, or a renewed hunger for Him, this ancient practice still has the power to shape our lives today. -
Refocusing Your Heart 23.09.2026 25minYour mind is always meditating on something. A worry, a regret, an insecurity, or a voice telling you that you’re not enough can quietly play on repeat until it begins shaping the way you live. Christian meditation offers a different rhythm: slow down, sit with God’s Word, and allow His truth to sink deeper than the noise. When truth becomes more than something you read and begins taking root in your heart, it can transform the way you think, feel, and live. -
Listening To Silence 22.09.2026 24minSome of the loudest distractions in life don't come from the world around us—they come from the pace we've learned to live. God offers a different rhythm, one shaped by stillness, prayer, and His presence. When we make space to listen, we begin to recognize the Father's voice above all the competing voices around us. -
Certain Givens 21.09.2026 24minLife doesn't always make sense in the moment. Disappointments, unanswered questions, and unexpected detours can leave us wondering how the pieces fit together. See how God works through every season to reveal His purpose, strengthen our faith, and remind us that He never loses sight of the bigger picture. -
Stress and Worry 18.09.2026 24minStress, worry, and anxiety can quietly take over before we even realize it. In this message, Ben Young looks at Jesus' Parable of the Sower and shows how the pressures of everyday life can crowd out our peace. Discover how Jesus invites us to stop carrying everything on our own and find rest, freedom, and lasting peace in Him. -
Rocky 17.09.2026 25minLife can feel like one test after another. A difficult diagnosis. Financial uncertainty. Relationship struggles. Temptation that won't go away. Grief that refuses to leave. In this message from Luke 8, discover how God uses life's tests to reveal the depth of our roots and grow our faith. Jesus' Parable of the Sower reminds us that trials don't create our roots—they reveal them. -
Dealing With Rejection 16.09.2026 25minWhy do we resist the very things we need most? We know what helps us grow. We know what brings freedom. Yet we often push away good advice, sabotage healthy habits, and resist the changes we desperately need. In Luke 8, Jesus tells the Parable of the Sower and reveals why some hearts receive truth while others reject it. Through a simple story about seed and soil, He exposes one of the deepest realities of the human heart—and shows how lasting transformation begins. -
Healing Your View of God 15.09.2026 25minThere is a massive issue that can cause people to reject God and prevent them from connecting with Him. It happens when we take the negative, destructive attributes of our earthly father and project them onto the Heavenly Father. We need a breakthrough of God's grace and the Father-heart of God to show us who He really is and allow us to take that next step of healing and intimacy with Him. -
Defined By The Father 14.09.2026 25minWe have a deep need to have a connection with our father. They define us and give us our identity. When we don't have a good father or no father, we look for someone or something to give us that sense of Identity and affirmation. Christ came to connect us to God the Father Almighty so that regardless of our family of origin, God can speak to us in that place of fatherly connection. -
Building An Invincible Life 11.09.2026 25minDeath can come at any time and rip future chapters out of someone's life. When we embrace that reality rather than denying it, it can give us the passion to make better choices in our life right now. Though Christ had to die for us, His resurrection proves we do not have to fear death or the future because we know Who has won the ultimate victory and empowers us today.
