    In our final week of This Is Love, Pastors Chris and Kim lean into relationship myths, heart-level truths, and some of the most honest questions we’ve received. Is communication supposed to feel natural?Can trust really be rebuilt?What do you do when someone keeps hurting you?How do you move past “I don’t know”? This conversation is practical, real, and deeply biblical. From boundaries and accountability to rebuilding trust and creating emotional safety, this episode will challenge you to grow individually so your marriage can grow collectively. Love is not performance.Love is partnership.And sometimes love is having the courage to have the hard conversation.

    This Is Love | Wk1: Identity Before Relationship | Pastors Chris & Kim

    We talk about love constantly. But what if we have been starting in the wrong place? In Week One of This Is Love, Pastors Chris and Kim kick off the series by going all the way back to Genesis. Before marriage. Before “one flesh.” Before relationship status. Before any of that… there was identity. You were created in the image of God. Marriage is not what gives you value. Being chosen does not define your worth. Your identity is not determined by a ring, a title, or how someone treats you. In this honest and often humorous opening message, Chris and Kim share their own early expectations about marriage, confront cultural myths like “you complete me,” and unpack what Scripture actually teaches about image-bearing, covenant, and Christ-centered love. You’ll discover: • Why marriage cannot complete you • What “helper” really means in Genesis 2 • The difference between contract and covenant • Why the Gospel reshapes how we love • And why love is not just a feeling, but a posture we choose Whether you’re single, dating, married, or divorced, this message lays the foundation for a healthier, stronger, more Christ-centered understanding of love. Because the real question is not just “What is love?” It’s “How do I love when love is hard?” This is Love. www.thejourneychurch.cc

    A Church That Pleases God -Pastor Lynwood

    This week was special. We gathered with our church family from Hilton Baptist Church for one powerful, united service. Journey Church had the honor of leading worship, and Pastor Lynwood from HBC brought a timely and challenging message. What does a church that truly pleases God look like? Pastor Lynwood walked us through Scripture and helped us see that it is not about preference or performance, but about hearts aligned with Him and lives that reflect Him. www.thejourneychurch.cc

    Memory Markers | Pastor Chris

    What do you do when you need to remember what God has done, tell the story of His faithfulness, and find hope for what’s next? In this special snowed-in online service, Pastor Chris Hoyt unpacks the biblical idea of memory markers moments intentionally marked by God’s people to remember when He showed up. From stone altars in the Old Testament to worship songs that carry us through life’s hardest seasons, this message explores how memory fuels testimony and how testimony builds hope for the future. Whether you’re walking through uncertainty, carrying a song from a past season, or believing God for what’s next, this message will remind you that faith is not just remembered. It’s meant to be projected forward. 👉 Memory protects us when the present gets hard👉 Testimony passes faith to the next generation👉 Hope is remembered faith meeting an uncertain future Wherever you’re listening from, you’re still part of the gathered church. www.thejourneychurch.cc

    Airplane Mode | Wk4: Service | Pastor Rob

    In Week 4 of our Airplane Mode series, Pastor Rob Schwartz challenges us to press pause on self-focus and lean into a life of service. Looking at the life of Jesus, we are reminded that the greatest are not the loudest, the most visible, or the most celebrated, but the ones who are willing to serve. Jesus performed over 30 miracles recorded in the Gospels, and not a single one was done for His own benefit. Every miracle met a need. Every act of power flowed from compassion. In this message, Pastor Rob breaks service down into three simple but challenging steps: See the need See yourself meeting the need Meet the need This message invites us to turn down the noise of self-preservation and turn up the voice of obedience, asking the question: Who can I serve today? If you want a faith that moves beyond intention and into action, this message will encourage, convict, and inspire you to live like Jesus by serving others. Listen now and press airplane mode on distraction so you can step into a life that reflects Christ.

    Airplane Mode | Wk3: Community | Pastor Kim

    In Week 3 of our Airplane Mode series, Pastor Kim Hoyt reminds us that practicing presence does not mean isolating ourselves. Airplane Mode is not about disconnecting from people, it is about disconnecting from the noise so we can reconnect with what matters most. This message is a heartfelt invitation back into church community, even if you have been hurt before. Pastor Kim shares parts of her story and shows how God has consistently used people to bring hope, healing, provision, and direction. From Genesis to Jesus to the early church, community is not a modern church strategy, it is God’s design from the beginning. You will hear why spiritual growth is not meant to happen in isolation, how God often speaks through others, and how community becomes formation, not just attendance. If you have felt alone, weary, or hesitant to trust church again, this message is for you. www.thejourneychurch.cc

    Airplane Mode | Wk2: Scripture | Pastor Chris

    Airplane Mode Week 2: Scripture That Shapes Us In Week 2 of our Airplane Mode series, Pastor Chris Hoyt invites us to slow down and rediscover the purpose and power of Scripture. When we quiet the noise and create space, what does God actually use to shape us? Not trends. Not opinions. Not arguments. God uses His Word, empowered by His Spirit, to form us into Christlike people. This message reframes how we see the Bible. Scripture is holy, inspired, and authoritative, but it is not something we worship. Instead, it faithfully points us to Jesus, trains our thinking, reforms our desires, and invites us into transformation. Pastor Chris also introduces a simple, sustainable way to engage Scripture through the SOAP method, helping us move from information to formation. Prayer slows us down.Scripture shapes us.The Spirit forms us. This is not a January thing. This is a Journey thing.
