With a blend of self-deprecating humor and profound wisdom, Ken shares why the modern church often feels “impotent” and out of touch: we have traded the radical power of grace for the heavy burden of legalism.
Through the hilarious lens of a dairy farmer’s perspective and the touching story of the thief on the cross, he reminds us that faith isn’t about “keeping score” or having all the theological answers. It’s about the “Man on the Middle Cross”—the one who welcomes the reprobate, the hurting, and the forgotten when they have nothing left to offer. If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t “good enough” for God, or if you’ve grown weary of “doing church” without feeling the life of Christ, this message is a powerful call to return to the simplicity of the Gospel. It is a reminder that our hope doesn’t lie in our own works, but in the finished work of a Savior who simply says, “I want you to be where I am.”

(def) radical
(contextually) being very far from the center of public opinion
What if we were to take Jesus seriously as He calls us to be “grinders”?
What if we were to return to the truth about faith that Jesus taught us?
What if we let go of sanitized and civilized Christianity and decided to live out the powerful and real faith that chooses revolution over compromise, risk over safety, and passion over lukewarm, watered-down religion?
Well, those are a lot of “what ifs” and the conclusion can be found in this answer – “Well, if I did those “what ifs” it would be pretty extreme!
Yes, you are correct – it would be in a word – extreme…which is exactly who you were created to be!

God created sacred space so we could become sacred space.

The Valley… a place of mystery, fear, excitement, and adventure. Some do their best to avoid the valley – others can’t wait to experience it.
Are you a Valley Gal or a Valley Guy?
The answer to what sounds like a relatively silly question is actually, at the heart of your answer – extremely important and transformational.
This series emphasizes how valleys, often seen as places of hardship, can become profound encounters with God, deepening our faith and understanding of His character. Each sermon can explore personal testimonies, scriptural references, and practical applications for navigating our own valleys.
In the Valleys We Discover Just How Real God Is.
