    GROUNDWORK: The Inferiority Myth–Resisting the Reflex to Feel "Less Than"

    Many of us live with a quiet, persistent sense that we don’t quite measure up—not because anyone says it out loud, but because we’ve learned it over time. In this new Groundwork episode, Pastor Mike explores why feelings of inferiority can seem so reasonable, where they come from, and why even knowing the truth about our identity in Christ doesn’t automatically silence them. Scripture doesn’t tell us to fight our feelings—it gives us a different authority to trust. This conversation is for anyone who stays quiet instead of stepping forward, assumes others matter more, or has learned to keep themselves small to stay safe. Groundwork is a long-form conversation about following Jesus in real life—honest, thoughtful, and grounded in Scripture. ▶ Groundwork playlist: https://sgbic.com/groundwork ▶ Solid Ground Church: https://sgbic.com

    Becoming Available (1/25/26)

    We live in a world that constantly pressures us to perform, achieve, and prove ourselves. From an early age, we’re told that being impressive is what makes us valuable. But when Jesus called his first disciples, he didn’t look for the most qualified or accomplished. He called fishermen—ordinary people who were simply willing to follow. In Becoming Available, we explore Mark 1:16–20 and discover a powerful truth: God does more with people who are available than with people who are impressive. This message looks at: Why Jesus doesn’t call the qualified—but qualifies the called How immediate obedience can change lives What it means to be interruptible in a busy, driven culture How availability creates space for divine appointments Following Jesus isn’t about having it all together. It’s about being willing to say yes—sometimes at once—and trusting him with the rest.

    Useful Faith (2/8/26)

    There are seasons when faith feels real—but not very useful. We still believe. We still show up. But nothing about our everyday lives seems all that different. In this message, Pastor Mike explores Jesus’ words about being salt and light and what they reveal about the purpose of faith. Jesus never called his followers to be impressive, loud, or performative. He called them to be useful—present, distinct, and shaped from the inside out. Together, we’ll reconsider what faithful living actually looks like in ordinary places: at work, at home, and in our relationships. Rather than blending in or standing out for the wrong reasons, Jesus calls us to a way of life that quietly makes a difference. If you’ve ever wondered whether your faith is meant for more than private belief or public display, this message offers a grounded, practical vision of following Jesus in a way that actually works in real life.

    GROUNDWORK: Surviving a Spiritual Dry Spell

    What do you do when your faith doesn’t disappear—but it does go quiet? Spiritual dry spells happen to more people than we admit. Prayer feels flat. Scripture doesn’t land. God feels distant, even though you’re still showing up. In this episode of Groundwork, Mike Collins talks honestly about what spiritual dryness looks like, why it happens, and how to walk through it without panic, guilt, or pretending. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and the story of Elijah after the prophets of Baal, Mike explores how exhaustion, grief, unconfessed sin, depression, and even medical factors can all contribute to seasons where faith feels dry. Rather than offering quick fixes, this conversation provides practical, gentle handholds for recognizing what’s really going on beneath the surface and rediscovering a grounded, resilient faith. This episode is for anyone who has wondered whether feeling distant from God means they’re doing something wrong—and for anyone who needs reassurance that dry seasons don’t mean God has stepped away.

    Becoming Attentive

    In a world that never slows down, it’s becoming harder to hear the voice that matters most. In this message, Pastor Mike shares a personal story of pressure, pain, and burnout—and how God used it to teach him a deeper lesson about attentiveness. Drawing from 1 Samuel 3, we’re reminded that God still speaks, but listening requires stillness, humility, and a posture of trust. This message explores: Why busyness and hurry drown out God’s voice How pain and disruption can become invitations from God What it really means to pray, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” How God calls us by name—and waits for our response If you’ve felt overwhelmed, distracted, or spiritually dry, this message is an invitation to slow down, listen, and rediscover God’s gentle guidance.

    GROUNDWORK: Our Christmas Miracle — A True Story of Faith and Hope

    In this special episode of Groundwork, host Mike Collins introduces a moving dramatic retelling of a true story, originally shared by Forrest Arnold. After a year filled with serious illness, financial strain, and unanswered prayers, one family approaches Christmas with almost nothing left—except faith. What unfolds is not just a story about provision, but about how God brings life, hope, and meaning even when circumstances feel impossible. This episode invites us to rethink what a miracle looks like: Is it always immediate? Is it always dramatic? Or does it sometimes grow quietly, over time? The story concludes with a powerful symbol—a tree once thought dead, planted in faith, and later found to be alive. The tree featured was the actual tree, filmed just one day before it was removed to make room for new construction. If you’re navigating uncertainty or waiting for God to move, this story offers a gentle but profound reminder: God can be trusted—even when the outcome isn’t what we expected. 🎙️ Groundwork is a podcast from Solid Ground Church, hosted by Mike Collins, exploring faith, Scripture, and the real-life journey of following Jesus. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes 🌐 Learn more at https://sgbic.com

    GROUNDWORK: Exploring Mysteries Science Can Describe—But Not Explain

    What if science doesn’t weaken faith—but helps grow it? In this episode of Groundwork, Mike Collins talks with scientist and professor Dr. Bill Ranahan about the remarkable beauty and complexity uncovered by scientific discovery—and how those discoveries can lead to deeper faith, not doubt. Drawing from cancer research, biology, and the rhythms of everyday life, Bill shares how closely studying the natural world has consistently pointed him toward purpose, meaning, and trust in God. From the design of the human body to the simple acts of breathing and resting, this conversation invites listeners to see science not as a threat to belief, but as a window into wonder. This episode is especially for those who feel worn down, overwhelmed, or uncertain—and who are looking for a way to reconnect curiosity, awe, and faith in a noisy world. In this episode: Why science and faith don’t have to be enemies How studying the body reveals intention and care What everyday human processes quietly teach us Rediscovering wonder as a pathway to trust Letting curiosity lead us toward meaning, not fear Guest: Dr. Bill Ranahan Scientist & Professor, Oral Roberts University If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, share, and leave a review.

    What to Do While You're Waiting (12/14/25)

    In a world that feels like it’s constantly on fire, many of us are quietly asking the same question: When is Jesus going to come back and make things right? Has God forgotten His promises—or us? In this message, Pastor Mike invites us to see waiting through a different lens. God’s apparent delay isn’t neglect or indifference—it’s mercy. Every moment of waiting is an opportunity for repentance, restoration, and rescue. This sermon challenges the idea that patience means passivity. Instead, Scripture calls us to active patience: living faithfully, loving generously, and pursuing holiness while we wait. If you’re feeling weary, restless, or tempted to lose hope, this message will reframe the waiting and call you to live with purpose, urgency, and eternal perspective. God isn’t slow. He’s merciful. So don’t waste the waiting.
