Jim reminds us that spiritual maturity isn’t accidental—it’s intentional. Fathers, husbands, leaders: it’s time to stop making excuses and start owning your role. Growth requires leaving behind childish thinking and choosing a life built on love, discipline, and strength. It’s not about guilt. It’s about grace, conviction, and stepping into the life Jesus died to make possible—for you, your family, and everyone counting on you.

What do you do when someone wounds you—and you're left with the fallout?Steven Lee shares a raw, personal story of betrayal and loss, wiring nearly all his savings to a scam artist, and how that wound could have shaped his story. But instead of staying stuck in pain or lashing out in revenge, Steven takes us to the cave with David in 1 Samuel 24, where we learn three ways to respond when life wounds us deeply: Resist the Drift, Respond with Honor, and Release the Outcome to God.This message isn’t just about being hurt. It’s about who we’re becoming in the process. Steven walks through the tension of wanting payback vs. choosing restraint, trusting God even when the outcome doesn’t make sense, and how God uses our lowest moments to build something stronger in us. When pain tries to define us, faith gives us a better script. You don’t have to throw the spear.

Ever feel like your life hasn’t turned out the way you hoped?This message is for anyone living under the weight of unmet expectations. Pastor Ben walks through the pain of disappointment when marriage, parenting, health, or faith just doesn’t pan out, and how it slowly chips away at our resolve. Whether you’ve been let down like Samuel or feel like the disappointment yourself, like David, there’s a way forward that doesn’t end in compromise or giving up. This isn’t about pretending you’re okay, it’s about resilience, redemption, and the raw grace of Jesus.When Samuel was grieving and David was dismissed as a nobody, God wasn’t done. He saw their hearts, and that’s still what He sees today. The same God who anointed the runt of the litter to be king and loved a train wreck like David wants to meet you in your mess. Whether you’ve blown it or been broken, you’re not disqualified. You're a perfect setup for grace. Keep showing up. Don’t quit now.

Grace lives in the places we least expect—right in the middle of our dysfunction.Rahab’s story is proof: God doesn’t wait for perfection, He looks for surrender. Her scarlet cord wasn’t just a rescue sign, it was a declaration: grace is in this house. If you're tired of being stuck in generational brokenness, Rahab’s faith shows the way out. This is a raw, honest call to stop playing it safe, tie your cord, and step boldly into a better legacy.
