The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.

Clay Cooney, who leads the young adults ministry at North Point Community Church, explores profound themes of surrender versus survival.

Cooney challenges the survival of the fittest mindset, advocating for a compassionate approach inspired by Jesus. He discusses the transformative power of sacrifice, emphasizing that personal fulfillment comes from serving others, not self-preservation, inviting listeners to rethink what it means to truly live.
