Join us for an intentional session of “Grease the Wheel,” a unique experience designed to deepen our connection with God and one another through the power of shared stories. In this video, we use a series of guided prompts to revisit the pivotal moments of our spiritual journeys—from childhood influences and first church memories to the seasons where we truly learned to trust God in the dark. These questions are more than just icebreakers; they are an invitation to build “spiritual monuments” that remind us of God’s faithfulness across the years. Whether you are a lifelong believer or just beginning to explore your faith, this conversation will challenge you to reflect on your God-view, celebrate your spiritual strengths, and embrace the community that makes us stronger as a family of faith.

by Church @ 434 | Aug 21, 2026 | Bridge to Truth
In this mid-week session, we take a moment to step away from the noise of the world and reconnect with the God who is always on “speed dial.” Diving deeper into the “A Soggy Savior” delivery from “The Jesus Times” series, we explore the profound significance of Jesus’ baptism—the only moment in the New Testament where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit appear together in one vivid snapshot. This study moves beyond Bible trivia to reveal a life-changing truth: you will always be frustrated with your mission until you find your identity in Christ. From embracing the messiness of faith to a special look at the upcoming “Jesus Tapes” film, this message is a call to reclaim your purpose, practice radical humility, and find refreshment in a community of faith.

In this third episode of the “Don’t Be an Esau” series, Jeff Dixon challenges the common misconception that Rebecca’s actions toward her sons were rooted in mere maternal favoritism. By diving into Genesis 26 and 27, we discover a woman driven not by emotion, but by deep spiritual discernment. While Esau viewed his choices—including his marriages to women outside the covenant—as personal matters, Rebecca understood that the atmosphere of the home determines the trajectory of the promise. She saw that Esau wasn’t just satisfying a momentary hunger; he was building a lifestyle that invited idolatry and rejected his spiritual legacy. This episode serves as a sobering reminder for us today: you cannot honor God with your mouth while rejecting Him with the structures of your life. It is time to stop asking God to fit into your world and instead allow your spiritual commitment to be the center around which your entire culture revolves. Don’t let your “appetites” move you away from your inheritance—learn how to build a life that reflects the value of who God created you to be.

by Church @ 434 | Aug 19, 2026 | The Clash
In this groundbreaking special episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley host the world premiere of the trailer for the highly anticipated film, The Jesus Tapes. Joining them are writer-director Rick Pamplin and producers Maggie Pamplin and Scott DuPont to discuss a cinematic journey nearly 50 years in the making. Inspired by a 1977 conversation with Talia Shire and the Coppola family, Rick Pamplin reveals the intense spiritual and professional battle required to bring this story to life—including his dramatic resignation from the Directors Guild of America to protect the film’s integrity.
Described as “The Blair Witch Project meets The Passion of the Christ,” the movie is built upon the 1927 book The Complete Sayings of Jesus Christ, focusing exclusively on the 33,000 words spoken by Jesus without the filter of man-made rules or denomination. The creators share chilling behind-the-scenes accounts of how the lead actor seemingly “channeled” the Messiah on set, leaving even skeptical crew members in awe. This is not just a movie premiere; it is a call to return to the core, unfiltered message of Christ in a culture of noise and skepticism. Discover why this film is being called a “God thing” for 2026 and how it aims to bypass the “merchandising of religion” to reach a world hungry for truth.

Deep within the wilderness of Vermont lies a stretch of forest where the line between reality and legend begins to blur. In this episode of Urban Legends, host Jeff Dixon explores the haunting history of the Bennington Triangle—an area surrounding Glastonbury Mountain where, between 1945 and 1950, five people seemingly stepped out of this world and into another. From an experienced woodsman who vanished in the blink of an eye to a veteran who disappeared from a moving bus, we examine the baffling cases that birthed a legend of curses, UFOs, and ancient mysteries. Are these mere coincidences of the wild, or is there something more profound lurking beneath the trees? Join us as we recount these unsettling disappearances and prepare to look deeper into the spiritual ramifications of a place where people go in, but never come out.

by Church @ 434 | Aug 17, 2026 | Ignite Gratitude
Imagine waking up tomorrow morning to find that the only people, blessings, and comforts still in your life were the ones you specifically took the time to thank God for today. In this opening episode of the limited series “Ignite Gratitude,” Jeff Dixon from the Church of 434 poses this soul-stirring question to challenge our perspective on thankfulness. Far from being just a polite gesture, gratitude is a powerful, scientifically-backed force that has the ability to shift your heart rate, lower your stress, and literally change the trajectory of your life. Grounded in the truth of 1 Timothy 6:17—that God richly gives us all things to enjoy—this video bridges the gap between ancient scripture and modern psychology. Don’t settle for being “happy-ish” or “almost joyful.” Join us as we explore why followers of Christ should be the most thankful people on earth and learn how to ignite a fire of gratitude that consumes the stress of yesterday and illuminates the hope of tomorrow.
