Award-winning director Rick Pamplin shares the unbelievable, decades-long story of his quest to meet his childhood hero, Burt Reynolds. What began as a young man’s ambition in Hollywood spiraled into a 50-year journey of near-misses, crushing disappointments, and moments of divine intervention—including showing up on set the day Burt punched his director. After losing everything and finding himself on the brink of homelessness, Rick explains how his unwavering faith and persistence were finally rewarded in the most unexpected way. He recounts the powerful, hour-long conversation that became “Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview,” a raw and vulnerable look at the screen legend just after he had committed his life to Christ. This is a profound testimony about patience, God’s perfect timing, and how a lifelong dream fulfilled by a Hollywood icon ultimately opened the door for Rick to make his most important film yet: a movie about Jesus.

“Everybody else is doing it” has become a dangerous justification, even within the Christian community. In this challenging message from The Carpenter Shop, Jeff Dixon issues a powerful warning against allowing culture to dilute, devalue, and downgrade your convictions. Drawing a parallel to the ancient “stumbling block” of Balaam, he reveals how churches today risk losing their spiritual authority by chasing trends and conforming to the world. This is a call to move beyond lip service and conditional love, to embrace the radical, countercultural path of Jesus. It’s time to secure your faith in the unchanging truth of God’s Word, separating it from the popular lies that can lead you astray.

In a world that pressures churches to become “culturally relevant,” where is the line between outreach and compromise? In this challenging message, Jeff Dixon unpacks Revelation 17 to expose the ancient prophecy of the “great prostitute”—a false religious system that partners with political power and “tweaks truth” for influence and gain. This isn’t just about the Antichrist; it’s a mirror held up to the modern church. Are we at risk of worshipping good things—our families, our jobs, our political affiliations—at the expense of God? This teaching provides a crucial checklist for every believer, offering clear guidance on how to remain faithful, avoid the trap of spiritual idolatry, and ensure our ultimate allegiance is to Jesus Christ, the King of kings, not to any worldly system.

We are fantastic at keeping rules and even better at judging those who don’t. But what if the truest mark of a disciple isn’t our perfection, but our willingness to get messy? This message dives deep into Galatians 6 to uncover the “law of Christ”—the profound, and often forgotten, command to bear one another’s burdens. Moving beyond the extremes of the “suffering silent” and the “babbling bereft,” discover three practical steps to truly share, hear, and care for those around you. Anchored by a raw, unforgettable story of a judgmental pastor and a struggling alcoholic in a trashed hotel room, this is a call to become the Church Jesus envisioned: a people known, not by their words, but by their radical, burden-bearing love for one another.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the daily grind, being faithful and obedient but seeing no visible change? You pray for loved ones, face personal struggles, and endure, wondering if your efforts even matter. This message uncovers a profound truth hidden in the story of Joshua crossing the Jordan River: God’s miracle was already in motion 16 miles upstream, long before the people could see it. Discover how your commitment to the “holy grind”—your willingness to take the next step of faith even when the path isn’t clear—positions you to experience the breakthrough God has already prepared. Learn why obedience must come before clarity and why your most crucial steps are the ones you take before the miracle becomes visible.
