In the finale of theThis Is Us series, Pastor JT exposes what it means to live out one&#39;s new identity in Christ. We have been raised, renewed, and refitted for service in our Lord&#39;s army! In other words, Christ’s life in you is God’s greatest gift through you! The strength of His people is measured not by rank, but relationship. Step into the joy of serving under the Commander who is our life.

Family in Christ isn’t built by bloodlines. It&#39;s formed by obedience. From Jesus’ words in Luke 8, Pastor JT unpacks how following Jesus means finding family among those who follow Him. This episode calls the church to move beyond attendance toward belonging—where grace adopts, love connects, and obedience defines the children of God.

In this next episode, Pastor JT reminds listeners that Scripture is not advice—it is the very breath of God. Learn how a genuine love for God’s Word anchors the believer’s life, shapes character, and equips the church for every good work. When the Word fills our hearts, Christ directs our hands.

In this opening message of the series titledThis Is Us: Who We Are and Where We’re Going, Pastor JT discuss what it means for us to live out Christ&#39;s mission for His church. As Christ&#39;s Bride our mission is simple: we exist for guiding people to anchor their life in Christ. Discover how God’s presence sends us out to go where people are, ground them in His truth, and grow them into mature disciples anchored in Him.

In this final message of the When Foxes Run series, Pastor JT closes the journey of renewal with a call to abide. Rhythm 7 is: Remain in His Presence. From Song of Solomon 2:15, the very first (and title track) passage of the series, we observed that revival begins when we become intentional to catch the foxes that spoil the vineyard (our walks with Christ). In Luke 13:31–35, however, Jesus shows that revival lasts when we rest under His wings.As “that fox” Herod plots and people eventually resist, Jesus reveals the heart of God’s mission: unstoppable, unshakable, and unchanging. The same Savior who faced the foxes now invites us to abide—remaining rooted in His Word, resting under His shelter, and trusting His unstoppable plan.Through this passage, we see three realities that call us to remain in Christ’s presence today:<ol><li>Opposition to the Mission – Foxes may prowl, but they will never prevail against God’s plan.</li><li>Resolve in the Mission – The fox may scheme, but God’s “I must” will always stand.</li><li>Fulfillment of the Mission – Foxes scatter, but the Hen always gathers—if we are willing to abide under the shelter of His wings.</li></ol>

R6 is Reignite the Flame! In this sixth rhythm of spiritual renewal, Pastor Jon Tyler White walks us through Luke 9:57–62, where three would-be disciples encounter Jesus’ uncompromising call to follow Him. Each one has a desire—but each also has an excuse. Jesus responds with a challenge that still confronts our hearts today: “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”Throughout this passage, we learn that spiritual fire fades not only through sin, but through comfort, delay, and distraction.To reignite the flame, we must count the cost, embrace the urgency, and refuse divided loyalties. Following Christ means laying down comfort for the cross, saying “yes” to Him now—not later—and fixing our eyes on the Savior who gave it all for us.

In this message, Pastor Jon Tyler White walks through us through one of the most explosive scenes in Samson’s life — a man so blinded by anger that he burns down an entire harvest to prove a point. Samson believed vengeance would make him blameless, but instead it spread devastation.We see that same deception in our own hearts: “This time I’m right. This time it’s justified.” Yet retaliation never restores; it only ruins.Through Judges 15:3–6, we discover the fifth rhythm of spiritual renewal: Restore What Was Lost.When we stop justifying revenge and start practicing reconciliation, the Spirit begins to heal what bitterness has burned. Jesus shows us a better way — not retaliation, but restoration; not revenge, but redemption.

Scripture: Ezekiel 13:1-14 · Rhythm 3: Remove the Foxes · Removing the foxes means condemning prayerlessness, for falsehood flourishes where no one seeks God—but spiritual renewal is secured when His people stand in the gap through intercessory prayer, pursuing His truth and guidance.

In this episode of Chisel and Flame, Pastor JT preaches a message entitled “Holy Heat” from 1 Peter 4:12–19. As our final message of the Blessed Are the Barefoot series, we explore how persecution is not a curse to fear but a fire that refines, proving our fellowship with Christ, revealing God’s glory through us and prompting us to respond to Him in worship.

In this episode of Chisel and Flame, Pastor JT preaches from 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 to deliver a stirring reminder: you, child of God, weren’t just rescued—you were recruited. God didn’t just forgive you; He entrusted you with the ministry of reconciliation.This message explores how peacemaking is not passive but a form of worship—an active, Spirit-empowered response to the gospel. As followers of Christ, we’ve been given a Holy Assignment to carry our Father’s heart into a fractured world.

In this episode of Chisel &amp; Flame, Pastor JT preaches from Psalm 24:1–6 in a message entitled “Holy Pursuit.” Set against the backdrop of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem, this passage asks a piercing question: Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?With vivid imagery and insight, we exploreswhat it means to pursue God with reverent readiness, heart-hand alignment, and holy hunger. You’ll hear how purity isn’t about perfection—it’s about pursuit, and how true worshippers are marked so much by heritage, but by hunger.🎧 Whether you’re seeking spiritual clarity, conviction, or renewal—this message will stir your soul to climb higher.

In this episode, we explore the sacred weight of sorrow through the story of a woman whose tears washed the feet of Jesus. Drawing from Luke 7:36–50, Holy Tears examines the collision of shame and grace at a Pharisee’s table—and how true worship often begins at the lowest place. What does it mean to weep before the Lord? What happens when brokenness becomes the vessel of blessing?You’ll hear a message on mercy, repentance, and extravagant devotion—where tears aren’t a sign of weakness, but a holy response to the One who forgives much. This episode will challenge you to see your own tears not as something to hide, but as a testimony of redemption.

In this episode of Chisel and Flame, Pastor JT takes us into the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus models a strength the world doesn’t understand—meekness. Throughout Matthew 26:36–46, we discover that biblical meekness isn’t passive or weak—it’s the holy grit to surrender when we could choose control. If you’ve ever mistaken control for courage or silence for strength, this message will challenge and encourage you. True strength is born on your knees.

In this episode of Chisel and Flame, Pastor JT continues our series “Blessed are the Barefoot” with a message entitled “Holy Heartbreak.” Drawing from John 11:20-44, we explore how Jesus doesn’t avoid places of grief—He enters them. He meets us in the middle of our sorrow, not to leave us weeping, but to call us into resurrection life. Whether you’re mourning a loss, wrestling with disappointment, or walking through a valley of silence, this message reminds us: our brokenness is not the barrier to blessing—it’s the very place where comfort from the Comforter begins.

In this episode, we continue through our current series entitled Blessed Are the Barefoot. We&#39;re reminded of the soul-cry of David in Psalm 63—a raw and desperate worship song from the wilderness. Titled Holy Hunger, this message explores what it means to yearn for God with a thirst that nothing else can quench. You’ll hear how true worship begins not with comfort, but with craving. When your soul is dry, when the world fails to satisfy, and when you’re walking barefoot through spiritual barrenness—this psalm reminds us: God fully satisfies the soul that refuses to be filled with anything less than Himself.
