Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a complete story in only six words. His response was devastatingly brilliant. What if we applied the same challenge to our spiritual lives?
This video kicks off a new series, “Word Up,” where we learn to boil down the complexities of our lives and faith into a single, powerful focus. Tonight, we start with six words. You’ll be guided through a simple but profound exercise to craft a “six-word memoir” that captures where you are right now.
Discover how this practice can ignite your “actual imagination,” bring clarity to your spiritual condition, and prepare you to find the one word that will define your growth for the year ahead.

Many of us come to faith looking for a rulebook or an answer key. But what if spiritual transformation begins not with what we know, but with what we’re willing to ask? Jesus’s ministry was built on this very idea. He consistently met people’s inquiries with questions of his own, designed to reveal the true state of their hearts.
In this candid follow-up message, we go behind the scenes of our recent series to explore the questions Jesus asks that force us to be honest: What do you truly want? Are you more comfortable being sick than getting well? Who is Jesus to you?
If you feel stuck in your spiritual journey, this message is a powerful reminder that doubt can be healthy, struggle is normal, and the path to a deeper intimacy with God is paved with honest questions.

When life gets tough, our first instinct can be to run. But what if the challenge you’re facing is actually the path to your greatest growth? In this session from the Carpenter’s Shop, we explore the profound words of Paul: “We must go through many tribulations to enter the kingdom of God.”
This isn’t just a tough verse; it’s a promise that God is with you in the struggle, equipping you for what’s ahead. Learn why the moments that test our faith are the same moments that can draw us closest to Christ. It’s time to stop running and start growing.

What do chocolate bunnies, Easter egg hunts, and “CEO” church-goers (Christmas & Easter Only) have to do with the most pivotal event in human history? Join hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley on this special Easter episode of The Clash as they peel back the layers of the holiday, from its secular traditions to its sacred core. In this candid conversation, they share personal memories and church humor before diving deep into the profound truths of Easter. They explore the staggering odds of Old Testament prophecies being fulfilled and unpack the powerful distinction between the Cross as our payment and the Resurrection as our victory. Learn why the absence of Jesus from the tomb is the key to His presence in our lives and how the hope of that empty tomb defeats fear, offering a life of transformation. This isn’t just a history lesson; it’s an invitation to experience Easter, not just celebrate it. If you’re looking for the unshakeable hope that turns a historical event into present-day power, this episode is for you.
