What would it look like if you stopped fearing bad news, other people’s opinions, and an uncertain future, and replaced all of it with one fear that actually sets you free? In this installment of “The Men We Need,” Kyle takes us verse by verse through Psalm 112 to show how fearing the Lord isn’t about cowering or white-knuckling your way through the Christian life. It’s the foundation for becoming the kind of man whose heart is confident, whose home is rich in peace, and whose life bears fruit that outlasts him.

Research shows that men who are fully committed to their faith are the most loving husbands and engaged fathers in America, while men who are Christian in name only produce the worst outcomes of any group. The difference? Authenticity. This week in “The Men We Need,” we open James 1:21–27 and discover what it looks like when a man stops going through the motions and lets God’s Word actually change him.

Most men aren’t in rebellion. They’re just in neutral. And neutral is more dangerous than we think. This week we talk about what it looks like to stop coasting and start taking responsibility.

How do you stay faithful when everything around you is drifting? Jude closes his letter with a warning, a way forward, and an unshakeable promise: the God who calls you is the God who will make you stand.

Spiritual drift rarely starts with rebellion. It starts quietly.

In this message from the book of Jude, we explore how drift actually works-not loud rejection of God, but subtle replacement. Over time, Jesus moves from the center, and something else takes His place: our desires, our feelings, our authority.

Jude exposes the anatomy of spiritual drift, warns us where it always leads, and points us back to the only secure anchor for our lives-Jesus Christ at the center.

We live in a noisy spiritual moment, filled with voices claiming truth. The greatest danger isn’t always outright rejection of Jesus-it’s slow drift.

In this message from the book of Jude, we’re warned that even sincere believers can gradually move Jesus out of the center of their faith. Drift feels subtle and harmless, but it always leads somewhere we never intended to go.

Jude calls the church to wake up, remember who we are in Christ, and contend for the faith that was delivered once for all—with Jesus firmly at the center.

Many of us know what the Christian life should look like, but still feel stuck trying harder, failing, and starting over.

In this message, we turn to Romans 8 to discover a better way forward: walking according to the Spirit. Not rule-keeping. Not self-discipline alone. Not earning God’s approval. But moment-by-moment dependence on the Holy Spirit who already lives within every believer.

If you’re exhausted from trying to live the Christian life on your own, this message invites you into something deeper-a relational, Spirit-led way of life marked by freedom, peace, and transformation.

Many Christians believe that sin no longer controls where they go when they die, but few live like sin no longer controls how they live today.

In this message, we explore what true freedom looks like in everyday life. Not freedom someday in heaven, but freedom from habits, hangups, addictions, and patterns that keep pulling us back. Drawing from Romans 6 and 7, we see that the same gospel that secures our eternity also empowers our obedience.

This teaching walks through three decisive responses that lead to freedom:
•Agree with what God says is true about you
•Decide not to let sin reign in your life
•Offer your life to God as an instrument of righteousness

If you’re tired of repeating the same cycle and ready to live out who you already are in Christ, this message is for you.

What happens when we take Jesus seriously enough to draw close to Him? In John 1:35–51, Jesus invites His first followers into a relationship marked by honesty, proximity, and transformation. This message explores how knowing God begins with a question, deepens through closeness, reshapes our identity, and opens us up to more than we ever imagined when we stay near to Jesus.

What happens when Christmas is over, the decorations come down, and life still isn’t going the way you hoped?

For many of us, the day after Christmas brings mixed emotions. Joy and gratitude sit right alongside disappointment, unanswered prayers, and uncertainty about the year ahead. In this message, “Keep Trusting,” we look at the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1 and discover how to trust God when life doesn’t go as planned and God feels silent.

This message reminds us that:
• God is present even when we don’t see His activity
• Unanswered prayers are not unheard prayers
• God’s way is better, even when it takes longer
• God works through imperfect people
• God still does the impossible

If you’re walking into a new year carrying disappointment, fatigue, or questions about whether God is still at work, this message is for you.
