5 Fundamentals Of Greatness | Genuineness

Have you thought about the importance of genuineness in your life? We all deal with pressures put on us to present ourselves differently than we are; we are pressured to agree when we disagree, to behave and fit the mold, when we feel like we don't fit in. This goes beyond the healthy aspects of developing and growing, and it sometimes pushes many of us to lead a disingenuous life at work and at home. In this message, Pastor JD sits down with Jordan Brown to discuss the importance of genuineness and the qualities we should pursue.
We hope this conversation blesses you and inspires you to live better.

5 Fundamentals Of Greatness | Godliness

When was the last time you thought of Godliness? What kinds of thoughts come to mind when you think of that word? Religion? Accusations? Dogma?
If you grew up irreligious, this is a word that is distant and completely disconnected from your vocabulary. It probably sounds like it belongs in a different era. But Godliness is closer to us than we think. 
In this message, pastor JD shares why godliness should matter, who it is for, and how to develop it. 
We hope this podcast blesses you and helps you live better.

In Repair | It Starts With Me

It is safe to say that since March 2020 our relationships have suffered additional pressure and stress. Maybe some of your relationships have been damaged in a way that has been surprising to you. You thought you were prepared; you thought you were in a better situation. 
Pastor JD introduces our new relationship series titled "In Repair". It is time for healing, restoration, and peace. In this message, you will hear why this process must start with you.
We hope this series blesses you and helps you live better.

Facing Your Demons | Overcoming Curses

Sometimes we can lump the worst part of us in one big thing; our bad habits, our particular sensitivity to specific situations, a bad memory, that physical trait we don't like very much. These, and other things that make-up who we are, are not the same thing. Some of these things are inherited, others are part of our upbringing, others are genetic, and others yet are of our own doing.
An even greater factor is our inability to properly differentiate things that are physical from things that are spiritual. Some of the difficulties you have faced are spiritual, and it is very probable that you have been trying to solve spiritual problems with physical tactics.
In this last part of Facing Your Demons, Pastor JD shares a message about overcoming curses. What comes to mind when you think of a curse? Are curses a way for God to control human beings? If you are living under a curse, what can you do about it?
We hope this message blesses you and helps you live better!
