Why You Must Marry Breakthrough to Follow-Through | Russell Johnson
At this Sacred Assembly at Grace City Church, Pastor Russell Johnson brings a faith-charged message from Mark 5—Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood—showing how honesty plants the seed of faith, and how Jesus’ authority changes everything. Ask, believe, press in, and don’t let fear set the temperature of your life.

When Heaven Opens a Window | Sacred Assembly
What does it look like to steward a real move of God? In tonight's Sacred Assembly, Pastor Josh McPherson continues to call Grace City into a five-week rhythm of worship, testimony, prayer, and obedience—because revival isn’t a spectacle, it’s the Holy Spirit’s normal work accelerated for purification and preparation. With powerful stories (kids hearing God, radical generosity, and stepping out without a “safety net”), this message invites you into the consecrated-life prayer: Come, Lord—we’re here. Speak, Lord—we’re listening. Move, Lord—we’ll follow.Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.

When the God Who Is Everywhere Decides to Be Somewhere | Russell Johnson

In this fiery message at Grace City Church during Church Camp, Russell Johnson from The Pursuit Church teaches from Acts 10 (Cornelius & Peter) and unpacks the signs of revival. If you’ve been praying for awakening, this is your call to respond—revival starts in a person (IN YOU), and it’s time to raise the sails because the wind has begun to blow.Support the showThanks for listening!

The Life That Pleases God: Faith in Action
What kind of life pleases God? According to Hebrews, it’s a life of faith—and Pastor Josh McPherson makes it plain: faith is obedience. In this message, Pastor Josh calls Grace City Church into a continued season of consecration through prayer and fasting, urging the church to get “off the X” and move with urgent, wholehearted obedience. From Jonathan’s climb toward overwhelming odds (1 Samuel 14) to the fresh hunger God is stirring in our people, this is a rallying cry to become a Jonathan Church—a remnant that runs toward the fight, trusts God for provision, and watches heaven respond.Support the showThanks for listening!

Dwell in the Land God Assigned You | Russell Johnson
In this prophetic message from Genesis 26, Pastor Russell Johnson from The Pursuit Church calls believers to dwell in the land God assigned (not run to “Egypt”), trust the authority of Scripture, sow in faith even in famine, and dig again the wells the enemy tried to cover.

The Five Fleeces & The Vision
In this catalytic message, Pastor Josh McPherson announces an audacious new chapter for Grace City Church: an opportunity to secure and steward 50 acres as a “forward operating base” for the Family Capital of the World—and the long-range vision of launching Vector West University, a four-year Christian institution aimed at forming courageous leaders with sharp minds, warm hearts, and strong bodies. Teaching from 1 Samuel 14, Pastor Josh calls the church to faithful risk, unified action, and dependence on the Lord for supernatural breakthrough, then lays out key prayer “fleeces” and an invitation to keep gathering in worship as God brings revival momentum.Support the showThanks for listening!

“A Submitted Dream Is a Successful Dream” | Nate Schatzline
Texas State Rep and pastor Nate Schatzline calls Grace City to consecration—a fully submitted life and dream that belongs to Jesus, not us. Through stories of family, political battles, and personal freedom, he argues that private holiness fuels public reformation, and that God is looking for believers willing to pay the cost, tear down “Asherah poles,” and say an unapologetic yes to His plans for Washington.Support the showThanks for listening!
