    The Story Behind the Worship

    In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Josh sits down with longtime friend and Church on the Rock Worship Director Jeremy Dowler for a conversation that spans decades of friendship, faith, music, mistakes, restoration, and the presence of God. They go all the way back to growing up around Trinity Chapel and the early days of Church on the Rock, learning music before YouTube tutorials and Planning Center, late night worship sessions, old school worship culture, Delirious?, youth ministry, basketball stories, and the people who gave them opportunities long before they were ready. Jeremy also opens up about a season when he walked away from church and felt like the prodigal son, the moment he realized he wanted to come back to his Father’s house, the restoration that followed, and why those experiences now shape the way he leads worship and pours into the next generation. Then the conversation turns toward music itself. From the structure of scales and chords to tension and release, Jeremy explains why music continually reminds him of God and why worship is about far more than playing the right songs. It is about serving the body of Christ, creating space for people to encounter God, and joining together as the church to make much of Him.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    The Movement | Pastor Josh Hersey | Walk This Way

    What does it actually mean to be the church, not simply attend church? In Week 1 of Walk This Way, Pastor Josh Hersey looks at the movement Jesus started through His followers and what it means for us to live as part of that movement today. Beginning with Jesus and Peter at Caesarea Philippi in Matthew 16, we see the power of Peter’s declaration that Jesus is the Messiah and Jesus’ promise to build His church, the ekklesia, a people called out by God and sent back into the world with the hope of the gospel.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    What Are You Really Trusting God With?

    What does the way we handle money and possessions reveal about our relationship with God? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh talks honestly about biblical stewardship, generosity, tithing, and the difference between seeing ourselves as owners versus stewards of what God has placed in our hands. The conversation explores why generosity is ultimately a heart issue, what it means to give God our first and our best, and how trusting God with our resources can become part of bearing His image in the world. They also dig into some of the questions Christians regularly ask about money and faith: Is tithing still biblical for Christians today? What does the Bible teach about first fruits and generosity? How should a Christian think about possessions, scarcity, abundance, budgeting, and giving to the local church? From Malachi 3 and Matthew 25 to practical stories of missions, benevolence, food pantries, and personal obedience, this conversation challenges us to search Scripture for ourselves and consider what God may want to do through what He has already entrusted to us.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    Our Possessions | Pastor Josh Hersey | In His Image

    What does the Bible really say about money, possessions, generosity, and stewardship? In the final message of In His Image, Pastor Josh Hersey explores what it means to follow Jesus with everything God has entrusted to us. Through 1 Timothy 6, Psalm 24, Cain and Abel, the rich young ruler, and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, we see that God is not asking us to reject the things we have. He is inviting us to make sure our possessions never have us. The shift from ownership to stewardship changes the way we view our money, resources, generosity, security, and ultimately our relationship with God. Where our treasure goes, our heart follows. So what are we looking to money and possessions to provide that only Jesus can truly give? Comfort, recognition, experiences, influence, independence, security, pleasure, and control can all feel like life, but they cannot give us the life that is truly life. This message challenges us to live with open hands, trust God instead of our circumstances, and remember that everything we have is from Him, through Him, and for Him.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    You Become Who You’re Around

    The people around you matter more than you may realize. In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh talks about why God never designed us to follow Jesus alone, how relationships shape the people we become, and why choosing the right community is such an important part of discipleship. They unpack everything from isolation, vulnerability, friendship, boundaries, and finding your people to mentors, peers, apprentices, accountability, and having people in your life who love you enough to encourage you and correct you. If you have ever struggled to find meaningful friendships, wondered whether certain relationships are helping or hurting you, or wanted to become more intentional about who has influence in your life, this conversation is for you.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    Our People | Pastor Josh Hersey | In His Image

    Who you do life with is shaping who you are becoming. In “Our People,” part of the In His Image series, Pastor Josh Hersey unpacks what the Bible says about friendships, Christian community, church attendance, spiritual influence, and why following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. From Genesis 2:18 and Proverbs 13:20 to 1 Corinthians 12, this message asks a simple but important question: Are the people around you helping you become more like Jesus? Pastor Josh explores how to walk with the wise, recognize when a relationship is pulling you away from God, receive correction from people who genuinely love you, find your place in the body of Christ, and choose unity over personal preference. He also talks practically about groups, serving, church connection, and Jesus’ words in John 13:34–35 that our love for one another would show the world that we are His disciples.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    Are Your Passions From God?

    What are you naturally good at? What makes you come alive? What breaks your heart enough that you feel like you have to do something about it? Those things may be pointing toward something deeper about the way God designed you. In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh continues the *In His Image* conversation by looking at our passions, gifts, hobbies, abilities, and desires, and asking how they can become ways we reflect the image of God in everyday life. They also dig into an important tension: not every desire should lead us. How can we tell the difference between something God has wired into us and something that has been distorted by selfishness, culture, or sin? From careers and hobbies to leadership, ministry, family, and even the moments that drain us, this conversation explores how to keep Jesus first, recognize the gifts already in our hands, and understand why following God's design will sometimes require sacrifice instead of simply doing what feels good.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    Our Passions | Pastor Josh Hersey | In His Image

    God did not make you randomly. He formed you with intention, wired you with a temperament, personality, interests, and passions, and through the Holy Spirit has given you gifts meant to bless the people around you. In this message from In His Image, Pastor Josh Hersey explores what Scripture says about being made on purpose for a purpose, how to separate God given design from character flaws that still need growth, and why understanding who God made you to be is part of learning to bear His image well. Walking through Genesis 2, Psalm 139, 2 Peter 1, Romans 12, and 1 Corinthians 10, Josh unpacks identity in Christ, spiritual gifts, Christian purpose, serving others, and the lies that try to pull us away from who God says we are. If you have ever wondered what you are passionate about, what your gifts are, or how God wants to use the way He wired you, this message gives you three simple questions to consider: What excites you? What fills you up? What breaks your heart?   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.
