The gospel according to Ricky Bobby says, “If you ain’t first you’re last.” But that leaves you isolated, insecure, and exhausted. What if Jesus is inviting you to run a different kind of race where the last are first and endurance wins?

In this message, Kori unpacks the cultural lie of “look good, feel good” and how it shows up in our everyday lives—leaving us exhausted, anxious, and focused on the outside. She invites us to let Jesus into the messy places of our hearts, where real transformation and real freedom are found, and reminds us that He clothes us not in image or performance, but in mercy, forgiveness, and love.

Today’s message is a Kingdom paradox: when you are weak, His grace is all you need; when you are weak, His power is put on display; and when you are weak, He is strong. Nobody loves being weak but scripture makes it clear: human weakness is the prelude to God’s power. Listen in as we continue our series, fighting against the cultural norms of our day, with a message that encourages total dependence on God.

Jeff continues our series by pushing against the cultural mantra: “Comfort is King.” We all love comfort (and seek it) but an over-pursuit of comfort often keeps us from spiritual maturity and growth. Instead, what would it look like to pursue Christ even when things are challenging? Listen in as we discover the promises of a blessed (not comfortable) life with Jesus.

Every day, you are confronted with a gospel written by and made popular by this world. These ‘worldly gospels’ demand your affections, sacrifice, and worship, but they all fall woefully short of the promises of Jesus Christ. In this new series, we’re exploring the differences between two kingdoms — those of this world and God’s heavenly Kingdom. What are the cultural narratives of our day, and how do the Gospels provide a ‘counter-narrative ’? Listen in as Jeff starts our series by looking at the cultural lie that you need to wake up and “Rise & Grind” to experience the future you’ve always dreamed of.
