    Not Today, Goliath

    Before David ever faced a giant in the valley, he faced voices in his mind. In this powerful episode, Pastor Jamie is joined by Issac Hughes to unpack 1 Samuel 17 in a way you’ve probably never heard before. This isn’t just a story about David and Goliath, it’s about the conversations that happen inside us long before any battle begins. Because the enemy rarely shows up with a sword first… he starts with a sentence. Together, they break down the four deadly dialogues that try to stop us before we ever step onto the battlefield: Fear that shrinks our calling and exaggerates our obstacles. Passivity that keeps us stuck while the problem keeps shouting. Critics whose words can be louder than our faith. Comparison that pressures us to fight battles in armor that was never meant for us. While everyone else stood frozen, David chose a different voice. He refused to agree with fear, ignore the problem, argue with critics, or pretend to be someone he wasn’t. And that decision changed everything. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, worn down by discouragement, or pressured to measure up, this conversation will help you silence the wrong voices and step forward in faith. The giant may be loud… but the real battle is over which voice you listen to. Watch Sermon Related: https://youtu.be/Lv42dZd3k9A?si=6kS90Nts2UeHGVzI FOLLOW US!

    What You Feed Will Flourish | Dialogue With The Devil

    In this powerful and convicting message, Pastor Tommy and Amy Hodges walk us through 1 John 2:15-17, calling believers to examine what, and who, we are truly living for. This sermon dives deep into the tension we all face between the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, and how the decisions we make from these places don’t just affect the moment, they plant seeds that grow into cycles. Using the imagery of gardens, seeds, and harvests, Pastor Tommy and Miss Amy remind us that weeds grow naturally, but fruit grows intentionally. Every click, every look, every indulgence is a seed, and seeds never stay seeds. If we sow to the flesh, we reap corruption, but when we sow to the Spirit, we reap everlasting life (Galatians 6:8). This episode challenges listeners to ask hard questions: What have I kept alive that God told me to put to death? What am I feeding daily, my flesh or my spirit? Which voice am I listening to? Through scriptures like 1 John 2, Galatians 6, Romans 7, and a powerful reminder of the anointing of the Holy Spirit within us, this message encourages believers to stop watering what God has called them to uproot and to intentionally cultivate a life led by the Spirit. If you’re ready to change your feed, renew your mind, and break unhealthy cycles, this sermon will challenge, convict, and equip you to live for what truly lasts.

    A Garden Full of Yes - and One Dangerous No

    What happens when God gives you a life full of blessing, but places one boundary you don’t understand? In this episode, Pastor Jamie and Pastor Tommy walk through Genesis 3 and unpack how the enemy doesn’t usually derail us through loud temptation, but through quiet questions like, “Did God really say?” They talk about how deception begins with conversation, how God’s boundaries are meant for protection (not restriction), and why we often fixate on the one thing we’re told “no” to instead of the many things God has already said “yes” to. Using the powerful illustration of a house full of blessing with one locked door, this conversation reveals how doubt, whispers, and misplaced trust can slowly lead us away from God’s presence, while reminding us that even when we pull away, God still comes looking for us. This episode is honest, relatable, and convicting, covering topics like: • The two voices we’re constantly listening to • How small compromises lead to big consequences • Shame, guilt, and fear, and where they really come from • Why questioning God’s Word opens the door to believing the lie If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “How did I get here?” —this conversation is for you. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Genesis 3:1–71, Peter 5:8, Titus 1:2, John 8:44 🎧 Listen, reflect, and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that God’s limits are rooted in love—and that He’s still searching for us.

    When Money Becomes a God: The Wake-Up Call

    In this episode Pastor Jamie and Pastor Tommy unpack one of the most challenging truths in Scripture: whatever we don’t submit to God will eventually try to master us. Walking through the story of Israel in Exodus, they reveal how God never intended His people to walk into freedom empty-handed, and yet how quickly blessings can turn into idols when our hearts aren’t aligned. From the gold God gave them in Exodus 12 to the golden calf they built in Exodus 32, this conversation exposes the tension between stewardship and ownership, obedience and excuses, worship and idolatry. You’ll hear how a stirred heart and a willing spirit transformed an entire nation, from disobedience to overwhelming generosity, so much so that Moses had to tell the people to stop bringing offerings. Together, Pastor Jamie and Pastor Tommy challenge us to consider: Why did God put this in my hands? Am I using it to worship Him, or is it silently becoming my god? If you’ve ever wrestled with money, obedience, or the temptation to hold tightly to what God gave you, this episode will stir your heart, stretch your faith, and call you back to true surrender.

    Why Your Heaven Is Closed: The Truth No One Preaches About Tithing

    In today’s episode, we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood and transformative principles in Scripture: Tithing, Obedience, and Living Under an Open Heaven. Using Psalm 37:23 as our foundation, we explore what it truly means for the steps of a righteous person to be ordered by the Lord, a call to submission, sequence, obedience, and putting God first. When our hearts line up with God’s order, everything else begins to fall into place. Then we walk through Malachi 3, where God issues three powerful truths: 1️⃣ THE CHALLENGE – Return to God and bring the full tithe into the storehouse (the local church). 2️⃣ THE TEST – “Try Me now in this…” God invites us to put Him to the test—a test that takes us to another level. 3️⃣ THE BLESSING – An open Heaven, overflowing provision, and divine protection as God rebukes the devourer on our behalf. This episode uncovers how tithing isn’t about money, it’s about relationship, covenant, and trust. ✔ Tithing existed before the Law ✔ Jesus affirmed it, correcting priorities—not canceling it ✔ Under grace, our giving becomes generous, voluntary, and worshipful ✔ And through Christ—our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek—our giving becomes relational, not routine We also wrestle with the tension Malachi presents: “What if God is a liar?” because He attaches a guarantee to giving. He promises open Heavens, multiplied blessings, and nations recognizing His favor on your life. If you’ve ever wondered: 💬 “Is tithing still for today?” 💬 “Why does God ask for the first 10%?” 💬 “How do I live under an open Heaven instead of a closed one?” - this episode brings clarity, challenge, and encouragement. 👣 Our part is to PROVE. God’s part is to POUR. Let’s step into alignment, obedience, and blessing—together. Watch Sermon Related: https://youtu.be/5bXs3bSuhLw?si=eqIcWJT27hCkYNko FOLLOW US!

    The Most Overlooked Command of Jesus | Jamie Grisham and Tommy Hodges

    Pastor Jamie Grisham and Pastor Tommy Hodges unpack three issues that shape every believer’s walk with God: the first problem, the heart problem, and the obedience problem. Using Isaiah 1:19 as a foundation, they reveal a transformational equation: Willingness + Obedience = Access. God isn’t chasing our money, He’s pursuing our obedient hearts. Together, they walk through the story of the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17–22) to expose how possessions can quietly become idols when they’re not surrendered to God. You’ll hear how possessions without surrender lead to bondage, but possessions with surrender lead to freedom. Jesus doesn’t call us to partial commitment, He calls us to radical discipleship. Pastors Jamie and Tommy explore why delayed obedience is still disobedience, and how God responds to the faith we activate through our seed. From the spiritual laws of sowing and reaping (Galatians 6:7; 2 Corinthians 9:6–10) to the “Apple Seed” illustration, they challenge us to stop clenching what God has asked us to release. A seed in your hand can’t become a harvest until it leaves your hand. You’ll be encouraged, confronted, and stirred as they discuss why obedience in one area doesn’t cancel disobedience in another, especially when it comes to our resources. And you’ll hear the biblical promise that when we honor God with our first fruits (Proverbs 3:9–10), He responds with overflow. If you’re ready for your faith to grow, your perspective to shift, and your heart to awaken, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Key Themes: • God wants our obedience more than our offering • How heart posture shapes obedience• Seed faith and the supernatural release of surrender • The dangers of delayed obedience• Honoring God with first fruits. • Living in overflow instead of limitation A question from Pastors Jamie & Tommy: What’s in your hand, and does God have access to it?
