    SUNDAY - MAY 31, 2026 (SPECIAL GUEST: DUSTIN TUTOR) 2nd Chronicles 7:14

    When life feels heavy and the people we love are hurting, we do not need a shallow pep talk. We need a clear path back to God. With our pastor away due to a death in the family, guest preacher Dustin Tudor brings a message that meets a grieving church with both compassion and honesty, then turns the spotlight where it belongs: on our own hearts.  We walk through 2 Chronicles 7:14 as a practical blueprint for spiritual renewal, Christian repentance, and lasting change. We talk about why it is so easy to become an expert at diagnosing everyone else while ignoring the “beam” in our own eye, and why humility is the first step toward experiencing God’s presence and power. Dustin breaks down what it means to pray as a real conversation, how to seek God’s face instead of only asking for His hand, and why “I’m sorry” is not the same thing as repentance that actually changes direction.  The promise is not hype, it is hope: when God’s people humble themselves, pray, seek Him, and turn from sin, God hears, forgives, and heals. If you feel spiritually dry, stuck in the same cycles, or convicted that you have been coasting, let this message call you back to a hungry faith and a surrendered life.

    SUNDAY - MAY 24, 2026 "Don't Shrink Back" Acts 20:17-38

    Quitting rarely sounds like “I’m done.” Most of the time it whispers, Just slow down. Stay quiet. Don’t rock the boat. From Acts 20:17-38, we listen to Paul look church leaders in the eye and say it twice: “I did not shrink back.” Then we ask the uncomfortable question his life forces on us: what would it take for our faith to have that kind of backbone? We walk through Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders and see what bold Christian witness is actually made of. It starts with humility, the kind that grows the closer you get to God, because you realize you need Him more, not less. It includes tears, not for show, but for real people: those who don’t know Christ and those who are being pulled off course by false stories. And it stays anchored in the unedited message of the gospel: repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul also shows what it means to finish your course when the Holy Spirit has already warned you that suffering is ahead. That leads to direct, practical counsel for the church today: pay attention to your own walk, care for the flock, stay alert for wolves and twisted teaching, and don’t shrink back from helping the weak. If you’re looking for a faith that can stand up under pressure, this one will meet you right where you are.

    SUNDAY - MAY 17, 2026 "Be Comforted" Acts 20:7-16

    A “security blanket” can feel harmless until life hits hard and it doesn’t work anymore. We start with that uncomfortable reality and move straight into Acts 20:7-16, where a tired church in Troas gathers on Sunday, shares a meal, listens to Paul teach late into the night, and then faces a terrifying moment when Eutychus falls from a third-story window and is taken up dead. What follows is more than a shocking Bible story. We trace how God brings real comfort, not the fragile kind we manufacture, but the steady kind anchored in Jesus Christ. We talk about why the early church’s Sunday worship matters, how the resurrection turns ordinary weeks into hope-filled worship, and why breaking bread together keeps the gospel concrete when suffering and fear feel abstract. We also make a practical case for Christian community: God uses the gift of each other to encourage, strengthen, and steady believers who are tempted to pull away. Then we wrestle with God’s power and the question of miracles. God can do whatever He wants, whenever He wants, but chasing signs can leave us disappointed when healing doesn’t come. Scripture is God’s revealed Word that equips us for every good work, and it comforts us with the truth that He is in control. We close with Paul’s planning and that simple phrase “if possible,” learning how to hold our plans with open hands and trust God’s will when life changes fast. If you want biblical comfort, resurrection hope, and practical encouragement for anxiety, grief, and uncertainty, press play.

    SUNDAY - MAY 10, 2026 "The Great Adventure" Acts 20:1-6

    A riot has cooled down in Ephesus, Paul is packing for the road again, and Acts 20:1–6 quietly asks a loud question: what does it look like to live as a witness to the kingdom of God when life feels like a long, unpredictable route? We start with Paul’s “great adventure” toward Rome and notice that his path is anything but direct and that’s where so many of us live too. We walk through three concrete ways Paul bears witness as he travels through Macedonia, Greece, and Philippi. First, he encourages believers with words that heal instead of harm, and we get painfully practical about what our speech is doing to the people around us. Then we look at encouragement through action as Paul delivers a generous collection to the struggling church in Jerusalem, a picture of Christian generosity and church unity that still challenges our comfort. Next, we slow down at one of the hardest parts of discipleship: reconciliation. Using Paul’s relationship with the Corinthians, we see repentance, forgiveness, and restored fellowship as gospel-shaped work, not optional extra credit. Finally, Paul’s Passover celebration points us to Jesus Christ as our Passover Lamb, reminding us how to hold steady in suffering and stay grateful in good seasons.

    SUNDAY - MAY 3, 2026 "The Great Adventure" Joshua

    A lot of us say we want God first, then Monday shows up and something else takes the throne. That’s why Joshua’s words still cut through the noise: “Choose this day whom you will serve.” We step away from Acts for a week to sit in Joshua 24 and hear a leader at the end of his life do the most loving thing he can do for his people, he makes the decision unavoidable. We start by remembering. Joshua points Israel back to the faithfulness of God: deliverance, protection, provision, and patient mercy. We connect that same practice to our lives today, because remembering God’s goodness is not sentimental, it’s spiritual survival. When life is hard, worship and testimony help us see clearly again. Then we get honest about idols. Scripture names false gods in Egypt and in the land, and we name the modern versions that compete for our loyalty: success, comfort, sports schedules, relationships, career, and anything else we quietly treat as ultimate. The message builds to a line-in-the-sand moment, because choosing the Lord in an easy moment trains us to stand firm when the pressure hits. We also share the clearest invitation we can: real life is found in the one true God through Jesus Christ, who took our sin on the cross and rose again.

    MID WEEK MOTIVATION - April 29, 2026 (Grant Stegall)

    Summer hits fast, and if we don’t choose our priorities on purpose, our schedule chooses them for us. We’re wrapping up the Midweek Motivation season from DeSoto Hills Baptist Church with a simple goal: help you step into the coming weeks with clarity, energy, and a mission that doesn’t change when school lets out. We walk through what’s ahead at DeSoto Hills in Subhaven, Mississippi: a midweek reset between semesters, our summer Wednesday night schedule, meals, and Bible study for every age group. We also highlight key dates like May 17 with Hunter Smith’s first Sunday plus a night of worship, then our updated Salute to Summer with water slides, food, and live entertainment, timed earlier so families can actually enjoy it. Vacation Bible School is right around the corner too, and we talk about why it matters and how you can help. Then we zoom out to church life beyond our walls with a behind-the-scenes look at the Southern Baptist Convention, how decisions get made in a bottom-up structure, and what it’s like to hear reports, questions, and even missionary commissioning. We finish with the heartbeat of it all: Acts 1:8 and the call to be witnesses of the kingdom of God, plus Acts 2:42 and a practical challenge to devote ourselves to Scripture and to each other. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share the podcast with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find it. What part of summer do you need to be most intentional about?

    SUNDAY - APRIL 26, 2026 "Disturbances In The Way" Acts 19:21-41

    A calm drive can turn dangerous in a heartbeat, and that is exactly the picture we start with before stepping into Acts 19. We are following Paul in Ephesus as “no little disturbance” erupts around the Way, and the trigger is as revealing as it is familiar: the gospel starts disrupting what people profit from and what they worship. Paul’s plans show his heart for Christian discipleship and church unity. He intends to revisit established churches, strengthen believers, and deliver a monetary gift to the church in Jerusalem, reminding us that the church is one family across cultures and backgrounds. But then the pressure hits. Demetrius, a silversmith who makes shrines to Artemis, rallies others by appealing to greed, then expands his argument into religious outrage and civic pride. The result is a city in confusion, a theater packed with shouting, and a crowd that drowns out reason with a two-hour chant. What steadies us is the reminder that God is still in control. The crowd is loud, but it is not sovereign. God restrains the chaos through a city official, and we see again that the kingdom of Christ advances not through violence or force, but through the power of the gospel changing hearts, renouncing idolatry, and reshaping lives. We close with a simple challenge: keep bearing witness to Jesus when disturbances rise, and come to Christ in faith and repentance when the disturbance is in us.

    MID WEEK MOTIVATION - April 22, 2026 (Laura Ullrich)

    Popcorn, chocolate chip cookies, trophies, and tiny cars flying down a track might sound like pure fun and games and it is but it’s also a snapshot of why church community matters. We’re sharing the latest from DeSoto Hills Baptist Church in DeSoto County, Mississippi, starting with the final night of spring Wednesday programming, the one week pause, and what to expect as our summer schedule begins. If you’re trying to plan family routines around church events, these date driven updates make it easy to stay connected without feeling overwhelmed.  The biggest spotlight goes to our third annual DeSoto Hills Grand Prix. We walk through who can participate (preschool through sixth grade), what kids are racing (Hot Wheels for the little ones, Lego derby cars for grades 1–6), how to register at DeSotoHills.com, and why the one hour test day is a must if you want to check speed and weight before race night. We also break down the awards, from design trophies to speed divisions and the grand champion trophy everyone wants, plus the simple details that make the night welcoming for the whole family.  We also preview what’s ahead, including graduation recognition, a night of worship, and a first look at Vacation Bible School. VBS registration opens May 1, and we’re leaning into an Ireland themed week rooted in Psalm 23 and the life of David, with T shirts and a big volunteer effort behind the scenes. Then we shift gears into a Midweek Moment on springtime newness, noticing God in gardens and birds, and letting Isaiah 42:10 remind us to praise the Creator with our whole lives.  Subscribe for more Midweek Motivation, share this with a friend in South Mississippi, and leave a review so more families can find us. What’s one small part of creation that helps you slow down and thank God?
