    Two Miles of Ditch | Pastor Josh Hersey | From the Vine

    What if the Christian life was never meant to be powered by trying harder? In this message, Pastor Josh opens the series From the Vine by walking through John 15 and the words of Jesus, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” Too often, we make the goal of faith about producing fruit, fixing ourselves, proving ourselves, or showing God we are doing enough. But Jesus points us to something deeper and better. The focus is not striving for fruit. The focus is remaining in Him. Using the picture of two miles of ditch for every mile of road, this message explores how followers of Jesus can drift into either rebellion or religion, while Jesus keeps inviting us back to the road of relationship. If you have ever felt stuck between doing whatever you want and trying to earn God’s approval, this message is an invitation to come back to the Vine, learn the voice of the Good Shepherd, and ask the simple prayer that can reshape everything: teach me to abide.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Can You Honor Someone You Do Not Respect?

    Why is authority such a struggle for so many of us? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh unpacks one of the most uncomfortable but important conversations for modern Christians: honor, submission, difficult leaders, and what Jesus actually modeled for us. From corrupt governments to frustrating bosses, from military stories to real life church leadership, this conversation gets painfully honest about our resistance to being told what to do and why it reveals more about our heart than we think. This is not a conversation about blindly following abusive leadership. It is a deep look at what Scripture teaches about authority, discipleship, pride, freedom, and honoring people even when we disagree with them. There is humor, real stories, Taco Bell debates, boat talk, and some moments that will genuinely challenge the way you see Jesus and your own life. If you have ever wrestled with authority, church hurt, difficult bosses, or rebellion in your own heart, this episode is for you.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Who’s the Boss | Pastor Josh Hersey | Behind Closed Doors

    This message gets into one of the hardest parts of following Jesus that nobody really likes talking about: authority, honor, humility, and what our faith looks like behind closed doors. It is easy to love the parts of Jesus that feel comforting and inspiring. It is a lot harder when His words start touching our pride, our reactions, our attitude toward people over us, and the quiet compromises we justify when nobody else sees them. This sermon walks through what Scripture says about submission, leadership, rebellion, integrity, and the kind of hidden character that actually shapes our lives more than public moments ever will. Through stories, honest tension, humor, and some deeply personal moments, this message challenges the idea that discipleship is only about what happens on a stage or inside a church service. Sometimes the clearest picture of who is really leading our life shows up in how we treat a boss we dislike, a parent we push against, authority we disagree with, or the conversations we have when nobody is watching. If Jesus really is Lord, then that reality eventually reaches every corner of our lives, even the uncomfortable ones.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Strengthened for the Journey | Pastor Juan Sanchez | Behind Closed Doors

    Most of what shapes your life will never be seen. It happens in quiet decisions, private battles, and moments where you choose God without an audience. This message walks through the life of Timothy and the kind of strength God builds behind closed doors, the kind that does not come from a perfect background but from surrender, obedience, and being formed in hidden places. If you have ever wrestled with insecurity, felt overlooked, or wondered if your story disqualifies you, this will meet you right there. What God is doing in secret is not wasted. It is preparing you to live with purpose, to invest in others, and to bring Him honor in ways that go far beyond what people see.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Are You Hearing God or Just Your Own Thoughts?

    In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, we step into the real questions people actually wrestle with but don’t always say out loud. What does it look like to hear God clearly without second guessing yourself? What do you do when God feels quiet, or when you’ve prayed for something and it didn’t happen the way you hoped? This conversation stays grounded in Scripture but speaks directly to everyday life, helping you navigate faith when it feels confusing, heavy, or uncertain. We also unpack the difference between conviction and shame, why following Jesus still takes effort even though it’s built on grace, and how to stay steady when you’re tempted to shut down. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing this right or just trying to figure out your next step with God, this is an honest and practical place to start.   Did you accept Christ today?

    I Am Strong | Pastor Josh Hersey | Behind Closed Doors

    What you do in private is shaping who you become in public. In this message from the Behind Closed Doors series, we take an honest look at the hidden places of our lives. Those places where integrity is formed, where compromise starts, and where real discipleship actually happens. Using stories like Joseph’s quiet obedience and David’s hidden failure, this message challenges the idea of strength and exposes the danger of trying to do life in our own effort. If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you are in public and who you are when no one is watching, this will hit home. Real strength is not found in image or effort, but in surrender, humility, and a life aligned with Jesus.   Did you accept Christ today?

    You’re Not Crazy… This Is Why Your Faith Feels Dry

    Most people don’t say it out loud, but a lot of days with Jesus just feel… normal. No big moments, no emotional highs, just life. In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, we get honest about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus when no one’s around and nothing feels “spiritual.” From navigating dry seasons to dealing with repeated struggles, this conversation gets real about faith in everyday life. We also dig into the deeper question many people wrestle with: why do I keep going back to the same habits even when I want to change? This episode unpacks the difference between trying harder and actually walking with Jesus, what it means to live with a “Christ filter,” and how real growth happens in the ordinary moments behind closed doors.   Did you accept Christ today?

    Hannah | Cynthia Evans | Behind Closed Doors

    There is a version of our life that everyone sees, and then there is the version that plays out behind closed doors. The quiet moments, the hidden battles, the prayers whispered when nobody else is around. In this message from our Behind Closed Doors series, we walk through the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel and see what it looks like to trust God in private pain, to stay faithful when nothing seems to change, and to keep showing up in prayer year after year. Her story reminds us that what happens in secret is not wasted, it is where God is shaping something deeper than we can see. This message is an honest look at how we honor God not just in public, but in our love, our life, and our everyday lifestyle. It speaks to anyone who feels like they are carrying something heavy at home, in their mind, or in their heart. If you have ever wondered if God sees you in those hidden places, this will meet you right there and remind you that He does, and He is still working.   Did you accept Christ today?
