    2026 Senior Testimonies | The Collective

    Our 2026 graduated Seniors open up about their personal testimonies, sharing powerful stories of how faith and fellowship carried them through life’s darkest moments. From navigating childhood adversity and the sudden loss of a family home to surviving deep battles with mental health, depression, and the devastating grief of losing a loved one, each speaker reflects on their journey from brokenness to restoration. They candidly discuss the traps of performative religion, the pain of feeling abandoned by God, and the ultimate turning points where they consciously chose to commit their lives to Christ. Woven through every story is a profound gratitude for the DBC community, serving as a powerful reminder of how surrounding oneself with a godly family can bring light, purpose, and healing to the most overwhelming situations.

    When Good News Doesn't Feel Good | Brian Smith | Wednesday Night Worship

    Brian Smith addresses the misconception that the Gospel is a burdensome or oppressive list of rules, noting that many people today view faith as harmful or restrictive. Drawing from Colossians 2, Brian explains that the true gospel is actually "good news" that offers freedom from man-made traditions, religious performance, and the weight of sin. He highlights the "glorious exchange" where Jesus takes on human brokenness and shame in exchange for his righteousness, emphasizing that salvation is a gift to be received rather than a status to be earned. Ultimately, Brian encourages students to "preach the gospel to themselves" daily to combat feelings of inadequacy and to fearlessly share this message of freedom with others, reminding them that they don't have to be perfect to point people toward a perfect Savior.

    Hide And Seek: Genesis 1-2 | Brian Smith

    In this message, Pastor Brian Smith addresses middle school students about the innate human tendency to hide our struggles, sins, and shame from those who love us. Drawing from the story of his daughter playing hide-and-seek and the biblical account of Adam and Eve in Genesis, he explains that while sin and shame naturally drive us into isolation and "church masks," this darkness only allows our pain to grow. He emphasizes that just as God sought out Adam and Eve in the garden despite their disobedience, He continues to actively pursue every individual today, regardless of their mistakes. Ultimately, Pastor Smith challenges the students to reject a life of hiding and instead choose "life over death" by being honest with their families, leaders, and a God who desires to replace their shame with the grace and forgiveness found in Jesus.

    The Comparison Trap and How to Get Out | Brian Smith

    In the Wednesday Night Worship with the Students, Brian begins drawing from the wisdom of Solomon in Ecclesiastes and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew, Brian explains that constantly measuring ourselves against others is as futile as "chasing the wind" and serves only to fuel anxiety and fear. He argues that comparison robs us of joy and prevents us from becoming who God created us to be, emphasizing that our value is already secure because we matter to God regardless of how we "stack up" to our peers. To break free from this cycle, Brian provides a three-step practical application: call out the comparison when it rises, cut it out to avoid the path of anxiety, and change your focus toward God’s love and the abundant life Jesus promises.

    Esther: For Such A Time As This | Annoura Wagemann

    In a heartfelt message to her middle school students, Annoura shares her personal journey of overcoming the fear of public speaking by drawing inspiration from the biblical story of Esther. Initially ecstatic about the opportunity to help her peers, Annoura admits she nearly quit due to intense anxiety and the pressure to say something meaningful as the deadline approached. She explains how she found courage in Esther, who risked her life to save her people, specifically reflecting on the message that she may have been placed in her current position "for such a time as this." Ultimately, She encourages everyone to embrace their own "big scary things," trusting that God will use their bravery and obedience to impact others even when they feel unqualified or afraid.

    Living The Double Life of Approval | Jimmy Carter | The Collective Night

    For The Collective Night, Jimmy shares his personal journey of faith, reflecting on his struggle with living a "double life" between his church community and his social circles during high school. He highlights his greatest regret: lying to a younger student of a different ethnicity who asked him to a dance because he was more concerned with his reputation among his peers than with being a "light" as a brother in Christ. Using his "life verse," Ephesians 2:10, Jimmy emphasizes that every person is God’s masterpiece and challenges the students to consider whether they are living to please themselves, others, or Jesus. He concludes by urging the group to go "all in" with their faith and to use their influence to value and treasure those around them rather than succumbing to the pressure of social approval.

    Radical Life: Week 4 | Derrick Milner | Wednesday Night Worship

    In week 4 of the "Radical Life" series, Derrick shares a teaching from the book of Mark, focusing on the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 to illustrate the difference between a "faith of convenience" and a "faith of necessity." He describes how Jesus and his disciples were exhausted and seeking rest, yet when faced with a large, hungry crowd, Jesus chose compassion over comfort. Derrick challenges the middle schoolers to stop taking the easy way out or waiting for "convenient" moments to share their faith, noting that miracles happen when we move beyond minimal effort to do what is necessary for others. By highlighting that Jesus gave His entire life rather than the bare minimum, Derrick encourages the students to live a life defined by spiritual necessity, even when it is uncomfortable or exhausting.
