    Where Legacy is Formed feat. Renee Thrift | In Between

    Legacy is not just something you leave; it is something you live. In this episode, we step away from a traditional sermon for a special Mother's Day panel titled "Where Legacy Is Formed." Renee Thrift (wife of Lead Pastor Rodney Thrift) sits down with her adult children—Hannah, Aaron, and Emily—and spiritual daughter Kaitlyn to discuss the reality of passing down faith. In this episode, you will hear: Defining Legacy: Why legacy is more about a foundation of faith than money or property. The "Small" Moments: The panel shares the everyday experiences—like seeing parents tithe when things were tight or pray when things were hard—that shaped them more than any "big" event. Owning the Faith: A candid look at when faith stopped being their parents' and started being their own. The Future of Faith: What this next generation is most intentional about passing on to their own children. If you’ve ever wondered if your "small" daily efforts for God matter, this episode is the encouragement you need. Your everyday response to life is your family's greatest legacy.

    Then & Now | In Between

    The "In Between" is the season between what was and what will be, where God is actively shaping who you are becoming. In this episode, Pastor Rodney Thrift kicks off our brand-new series, In Between, with a powerful message titled "Then and Now." Most of us hate the middle. We want to get through the transition as quickly as possible, but Pastor Rodney reminds us that formation always happens before fulfillment. In this episode, you will discover: The Definition of the Middle: Why the "In Between" is where your past ends and your future begins. The Silent Work of God: Why a lack of visible movement doesn't mean a lack of divine activity. The 13-Year Rule: How Joseph and Paul spent over a decade in preparation before stepping into their ultimate purpose. Adapt, Grow, Become: Three practical keys to navigating your current season without running back to the past. You aren't stuck; you are being prepared for what’s next. Soul Tattoo: The in-between isn’t a pause in God’s plan, it’s part of it. Connect With Us:This message is from Pastor Rodney Thrift at Destination Church in Blackshear, GA.

    Living Empowered | Beyond the Veil

    What we allow, we empower. In this episode, Pastor Rodney Thrift continues our eye-opening series, Beyond the Veil, with a practical guide to Living Empowered. If you feel constantly harassed by the enemy or bogged down by spiritual heaviness, it might not be a lack of authority—it might be an open door. In this episode, you will discover: The Power of Surrender: Why authority actually begins with submission to God. Closing the Doors: How unforgiveness, hidden sin, and lies act as open doors for the enemy (and how to shut them). Confronting the Enemy: Why we are not called to ignore or fear the enemy, but to stand and resist. The Daily Rhythm: A simple, 3-step daily habit (Morning Surrender, Midday Check, Evening Declaration) to keep you spiritually clean and bold. You don’t fight for victory, you fight from it. Soul Tattoo: I live empowered when I stay surrendered, close doors, and stand in authority. Connect With Us:This message is from Pastor Rodney Thrift at Destination Church in Blackshear, GA.

    Spiritual Authority | Beyond the Veil

    We don't fight for authority, we fight from authority. In this episode, Pastor Rodney Thrift continues our Beyond the Veil series with a challenging and equipping message on Spiritual Authority.

The Badge Analogy: How believers walk in "delegated authority" by being seated with Christ in heavenly places. Activation: Why authority isn't just received—it must be activated through obedience, bold prayer, and speaking truth.

    The Unseen Realm | Beyond the Veil

    Just because you cannot see it does not mean it is not happening. In this episode, Pastor Rodney Thrift continues our Beyond the Veil series with an eye-opening message on The Unseen Realm.

Many of life's visible battles have invisible origins!

    Forged in Our Marriage | Pastor Rodney & Renee Thrift

    You didn't marry a perfect person; you married a person you will need to forgive. In this powerful episode, Pastor Rodney and Renee Thrift take the stage together to talk about what it looks like to be Forged in Our Marriage. Many people walk away from their marriage when things get hot, but heat isn't the problem—unmanaged heat is. In this episode, you will discover: The Forged Ring: Why your wedding band represents a relationship that must go through the fire to become beautiful. The Heat & The Hammer: How to handle truth and communication so that your words shape your spouse rather than shatter them. The Water (The Pause Button): Why every healthy marriage needs a "reset system" to cool off and forgive. The Glue of Grace: Why grace is the daily requirement that holds a forged marriage together. If you are feeling the pressure in your relationship right now, don't break down. God wants to use this fire to build a threefold cord that cannot easily be broken. Soul Tattoo: Strong marriages aren’t found, they’re forged. Connect With Us: This message is from Pastor Rodney & Renee Thrift at Destination Church in Blackshear, GA.
