Are you in a season of trouble? You aren’t alone. Whether God takes the danger away or takes you through it, His “standing presence” never leaves you.
Highlights of this session: Why trouble magnifies the Word of God. The difference between God working for you vs. in you. A real-life story of finding joy before a major surgery.
“Everything that happens to us in this earthly life is getting us ready for eternity.”

Is the world trying to keep you unhappy? Tonight, we expose the “discouragement conspiracy”—the cultural lie that tells you you’re never enough just to sell you more stuff.
From Kentucky basketball struggles to the nostalgia of David Letterman’s Top 10 lists, we dive into why true happiness is countercultural. It turns out, the secret to an upbeat life isn’t about focusing on yourself; it’s about “embracing the confrontation” of serving others. Join us as we break down the Bible’s ultimate “Top 10” list of commands that will change your relationships and unlock the joy you’ve been looking for.

Are you living upbeat or beat up? This message challenges the culture’s definition of happiness, which tells you to get all you can. Discover the biblical secret to true, lasting joy: becoming a radiator of blessing. We’ll explore how one “impossible” event in history makes your happiness not just possible, but a promise waiting to be claimed. It’s time to stop chasing feelings and start building a life of intentional impact.

After our “Face of Fear” haunted outreach event, I received a letter from a retired minister calling our work “evil” and demanding my ordination be revoked. He said we were following the devil. In my response, we explore the true Christian origins of Halloween and why believers are called to invade darkness, not hide from it. The devil doesn’t own a holiday—he’s a squatter on Christ’s territory, and it’s time we took it back. This mission is a powerful example of what it means to live ‘upbeat’ instead of ‘beat up.’ We then dive into the true definition of happiness, revealing why Jesus taught that lasting joy isn’t found in what you get, but in what you give away.

It’s easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the power of making small improvements every single day. Getting just 1% better daily can make you over 37 times better in a year, while getting 1% worse can almost wipe you out. This message is about harnessing that power. We explore how to forget your goals and focus on your systems, engage your “Goldilocks Engine” to avoid burnout, and build identity-based habits. This isn’t about “stinking thinking” or self-improvement; it’s about the daily process of becoming a new creation.

This deep-dive discussion unpacks the practical science behind spiritual transformation, moving beyond “wishful thinking.” Discover the powerful “habit loop” (Signal – Craving – Response – Reward) and learn why lasting change starts not with what you want to achieve, but with who you decide to be.
