    Stay Curious | Chris Conrad

    Ever wonder what’s really going on inside your soul?Sometimes our outward reactions—whether it's an explosion of road rage or a sudden burst of frustration—are just surface symptoms of a deeper, underlying issue. In this message, "Getting Curious," Chris Conrad challenges us to look beneath the surface of our behaviors, fears, and habits to discover what is driving them.Just like a physical condition can cause mixed-up signals in our bodies, our spiritual lives can get their wires crossed. Through the lives of Moses and Simon the Sorcerer, we see how unaddressed internal struggles can limit how fully God can use us. But the good news? A loving Heavenly Father isn't looking to condemn you—He is inviting you to get curious about your soul so the Holy Spirit can bring true healing.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

    The Map to True Masculinity | Jason Holdridge

    Has society—and even the church—accidentally traded masculine strength for passivity?In this powerful Father’s Day message, we dive deep into "Peter’s Masculine Pilgrimage" to discover what true, God-honoring masculinity looks like. Pulling insights from John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, we explore how Jesus didn't call "nice guys" to follow Him; He called messy, passionate, and forceful men to lay hold of the Kingdom of Heaven.By looking at the life of the Apostle Peter, we trace the map that every man must walk—from ambition and brokenness to becoming deep, Spirit-filled, and truly courageous.If you are a man looking for a second chance, or if you're tired of trying to just be a "good boy," this message is for you.📖 Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 50:20Matthew 11:12Matthew 4:18-20 (The Ambitious Man)Matthew 14:28-31 (The Passionate Man)Matthew 16:21-23 (The Adversarial Man)Matthew 18:21-22 (The Bitter Man)Matthew 19:27-30 (The Conditional Man)Matthew 26:33-35 (The Inflated Man)John 18:10-11 (The Reactive Man)Luke 22:54 (The Distant Man)Luke 22:56-63 (The Broken Man)John 21:15-17 (The Deep Man)Acts 4:8-13 (The Spirit-Filled & Courageous Man)1 Peter 5:6-8 (The Humble Man)"The most critical need of the church at this moment is men—bold men, good men, free men." — A.

    How the Enemy Baits You (And How to Stand Firm) | Jon Bell

    Are you being set up? In this week of our series, "Encounters with Jesus," we dive into Matthew 4 to look at the infamous showdown between Jesus and the devil in the wilderness. Often, we think temptation is just about breaking rules—but it’s actually a calculated attack on our identity. When you are hungry, tired, and isolated, you become a sitting duck for the enemy. Through the three specific traps laid for Jesus, we discover the exact blueprint the enemy uses against us today: the temptation to be satisfied, the temptation to be awesome, and the temptation to be powerful. If the enemy wanted to catch you, what bait would he use? Watch to learn how to identify the triggers, illusions, and rationalizations of temptation, and how to stand firm on the truth of God's Word. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages to help you grow in your faith 💬 We’d love to hear from you! Where do you need God’s strength the most today? Let us know in the comments below. --- SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: • Matthew 4:1-11 • 1 John 2:15-17 • Luke 4:13

    Why Jesus Refused to Throw the Stone | Ryan Kresge

    In this message, we dive into one of the most dramatic, publicly charged encounters in all of the Gospels: The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1–11).When the self-righteous religious leaders tried to use a woman's shame as a weapon to trap Jesus, He flipped the script. Instead of throwing a stone, He stooped to her level, silenced her accusers, and offered her something completely unexpected: scandalous grace paired with a call to holiness.If you are carrying a label the world gave you—"damaged," "failure," "not good enough"—this video is a reminder that the enemy wants to condemn you, but Jesus wants to consecrate you.Key Takeaways from This Message:The Trap of Self-Righteousness: Why it’s so easy to become an expert at spotting other people's brokenness to avoid dealing with our own.Condemnation vs. Consecration: Condemnation says you are what you did and labels you unfit for use. Consecration says you belong to God and you are deeply valuable.Grace First, Freedom Next: Why trying to "white-knuckle" holiness without first experiencing real grace will only turn you into a Pharisee.Scripture References:John 7:53–8:11Philippians 2:6-8Matthew 5:27-291 Corinthians 6:18Romans 8:1-2Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

    How Jesus Treats Kids | Jason Holdridge

    You can tell a lot about a leader by the way they treat children. In a culture that often views kids as a distraction or a "chore," Jesus did something radical: He stopped His mission, rebuked His disciples, and placed children at the very top of the social ladder.In this message, we dive into Mark 10 and Matthew 18 to discover why Jesus fiercely protected and cherished the next generation. Churches rarely die first in the sanctuary—they begin to die in the nursery. That's why we don't just offer childcare; we provide soul-care. We aren't babysitting youngsters; we are shepherding future adults.If you've ever wondered what makes a church truly "alive," it starts with a messy, loud, and beautiful investment in our kids.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

    Christianity Isn't Cool (And Why That's A Good Thing) | Jon Bell

    We spend so much time trying to make Christianity look cool, composed, and comfortable. But what if following Jesus was never meant to be cool? What if it’s supposed to be raw, disruptive, and a little bit "weird" to the culture around us? In this message, we look at a shocking encounter in Luke 7 between Jesus, a self-righteous Pharisee named Simon, and a broken woman with an alabaster jar. While Simon cares about keeping up appearances and judging from the sidelines, this woman loses all composure to worship at the feet of Jesus. If you've been exhausted by the pressure of keeping up a perfect narrative, playing the comparison game, or hiding behind religious labels, this message is for you. It’s time to stop talking to ourselves and start listening to what Jesus wants to say to us.

    Would Jesus Even Recognize the Modern Church? | Jason Holdridge

    Have you ever looked at something modern and thought, "This is nothing like I remember it"? From the changing landscape of sports and culture to the way we experience community, things look vastly different than they used to. But what if Jesus looked at the modern Western church and said the exact same thing? In this message, we are stripping away the overproduced, auto-tuned, and filtered layers of modern religion to look at the raw, wild origins of the faith in John 1. Before there were "churchgoers," "attenders," or even the word "Christian," there was a viral, organic movement of discipleship fueled by curiosity, proximity, and simple invitation. Key Takeaways & Scripture References The Shift in Terms: In the New Testament, "Disciple" is used 263 times, while "Christian" is only used 3 times. Today, our usage is completely flipped. Proximity over Programs: Jesus didn't invite people to an office or a weekly service; He invited them to see where He was staying and to spend the day with Him. Scripture Mentioned: John 1:35-51, Acts 17:32-34, 1 Corinthians 11:1, 2 Timothy 3:10 Reflection Questions - You might identify as a believer or a Christian, but are you a disciple and a follower? - Who is in your discipleship "downline"? - Who are you bringing along with you? - Are you developing the skill of asking great questions and speaking identity into the people around you?

    Surrendering Your Children To God | Heidi Holdridge

    What was it like to be the mother of the Messiah? In this special Mother’s Day message, we kick off our new series, "Encounters with Jesus," by looking at the four pivotal moments between Jesus and His mother, Mary. From the anxiety of losing a twelve-year-old in Jerusalem to the heartbreak at the foot of the cross, we explore how Mary had to constantly surrender her will to God’s greater plan.Join us as we walk through these four life-changing encounters:The Temple (Luke 2): Dealing with the anxiety of a "missing" child and realizing His Father’s house comes first.The Wedding at Cana (John 2): Learning to trust His timing and His methods—even when the "wine" runs out.The Crowd at Capernaum (Mark 3): Navigating the seasons where family dynamics shift and God’s kingdom takes priority.The Cross (John 19): The ultimate act of surrender and the beautiful compassion of a Son who provides for His mother until the very end.[Key Scripture References]Luke 2:41-52 (Jesus at 12 years old)John 2:1-11 (The First Miracle)Mark 3:20-35 (Jesus’ Family and True Kinship)John 19:26-27 (Jesus at the Cross)Deuteronomy 6:5-9Psalm 103:8"Mary didn’t apply for the position of 'Mother of the Messiah.' She was chosen for it. She had to surrender countless times—her will, her protective nature, and eventually, her Son. Her story is a reminder that even when we don't understand His ways, we can always trust His heart."If this message encouraged you today, please like this video, subscribe to our channel, and share it with a mom who needs to hear this reminder of God's compassion.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome
