We trace Stephen’s final message in Acts 7 to ask a simple, hard question: what kind of house are we building for a God who cannot be contained by stone? We challenge one another to give God full access to every room of our inner lives during these twenty-one days.

• context from Acts 6–7 and Stephen’s charges
• Isaiah’s claim that God transcends temples
• Solomon’s confession that heaven cannot contain God
• shift from buildings to bodies as God’s dwelling
• practical image of rooms we keep off-limits
• invitation to grant God full access for true change
• courage, love, and the cost of witness in Stephen’s story
• prayer for surrender and renewal during the 21-day focus

Heavenly Father, when I think about Stephen that day in the face of that angry mob, it said that his face shone that he could see Jesus standing up in the face of that angry mob. And that he was brave enough to say what to challenge their infrastructures, to challenge what they knew, not because he didn't like them, because he loved them. He was like, the Lord wants to dwell within you, not in this temple. So Lord, I pray for your people today that the place they would make for you, the dwelling places that you choose to habitate, humans, humanity, Lord, that we would give you free access to every room in these temples. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

We call the church to a 21-day journey of big faith rooted in 2 Chronicles, shifting our focus from control to trust. We point to Solomon’s humility, the true Temple in Jesus, and why every God-sized vision exists to help people encounter God.

• grounding vision in God’s greatness not our resources
• humility as clarity rather than insecurity
• small God small prayers versus bold obedience
• buildings as spaces for encounter not containers for God
• Jesus as the true temple and us as His dwelling
• reframing projects around people and presence
• questions that stretch faith beyond comfort
• fasting prayer generosity and shared agreement

We’re agreeing with you at 2:56 every day; join prayer from noon to one on Wednesdays, the prayer walk, 24-hour prayer, and set time aside to say, “Lord, less of me, more of You”

What if the greater miracle we’re missing is forgiveness—and what if that truth changes how we build, give, serve, and dream? We walk through a candid family conversation about mission, money, and momentum, then lay out why bold obedience matters when comfort begins to cap calling.

We start by naming the real barriers: packed parking lots, stretched kids’ spaces, and the limits of three services that slow people from meeting Jesus. Avoiding hard topics has a cost, so we confront our own reluctance to teach biblical generosity and lean into fasting as a catalyst for breakthrough. This isn’t fundraising; it’s formation. We explore how tithing shapes the heart, why fasting aligns desire with purpose, and how unity multiplies impact far beyond what makes sense on paper.

Mark 2 becomes our blueprint. Four friends refuse to let a neutral crowd block a desperate need. They climb, dig, and lower a paralyzed man to Jesus. He forgives first, then heals—a sequence that re-centers our priorities. We translate that roof‑tearing faith into our context: a move toward 57 acres as a launching pad, not a monument. It’s about stewardship, discipleship, and sending leaders to love our neighbors across a wide radius. We revisit our legacy of sacrifice that made previous expansions possible and invite everyone to take visible, practical steps—prayer, fasting, giving, inviting—that turn belief into motion.

Ever felt the weight of religious expectations but missed the warmth of being known by name? We lean into the story of Zacchaeus to show how Jesus flips the script—choosing invitation over condemnation and relationship over performance—and why that shift still disrupts our assumptions today. Grace moves first, and when it does, real change follows without manipulation or pressure.

We unpack how curiosity can position us to see Jesus, but only surrender transforms us. From there, we talk about what love looks like on the ground: obeying Jesus because we trust him, loving our neighbors without strings, and refusing to let opinions drown out kindness. If love is our measure, then the loudest microphone in our lives should be the way we treat people—especially those on the same team. Scripture guides the way: love God with everything, love your neighbor as yourself, and let kindness lead to repentance.

Then we get practical. Compassion starts by noticing people, not just their choices. Faith shows up as rides given, meals shared, schedules interrupted, and apologies offered. We challenge a common shortcut—inviting friends to church before sharing our own stories—and encourage a better way: invite people into your life first. Discipleship grows in proximity, on car rides and coffee tables, where the good, the bad, and the ongoing work of grace can actually be seen. If you’re hungry for a faith that feels honest and a church that meets real needs, this conversation will give you language, courage, and a next step.

Wendell sits down with us to trace a jagged path from a strict church upbringing to years lost in addiction, from chasing belonging in all the wrong places to raising his hands in a hallway at home and discovering that surrender is the only kind of strength that holds. What follows is a raw, deeply hopeful conversation about purpose, identity, and the stubborn power of prayer.

We talk about how a surprise welcome at LCC changed everything—familiar faces from an old worship team, a new community that felt like home, and a place to put his gifts to work. Wendell opens up about overdoses averted, the cost of pride, and the moment he stopped caring who was watching and started praising God anyway. He shows us how service can anchor recovery, why tears on stage are testimony not shame, and how mentors—from a gracious young leader to a steadfast uncle—helped him rebuild the habits that shape a life.

If you’re a parent of a teen, you’ll find practical wisdom: say “you’re loved” every day, protect car time for real talk, listen more than you fix, and turn small moments into sacred ground. If you love someone wrestling with addiction, Wendell’s plea is simple and fierce—don’t stop praying. He names the people who covered him daily and credits their faith with pulling him back when his own will faltered. For anyone hesitating at the edge of surrender, there’s a bold challenge: prove your toughness by lifting your hands, not your defenses.

Start with a better question than “What’s my plan?” Try this: “Is my relationship with Jesus flourishing?” Everything else—work, money, marriage, even vacations—looks different when your soul moves from dormant to blooming.

We explore a clear, four-step path rooted in Ephesians 1 and framed by the vivid image of Death Valley’s rare super bloom. First, know God intimately—beyond Sunday routines and head knowledge—to a heart-level relationship that reshapes your days. Second, find freedom by letting God clear the “eyes of your heart,” so past hurts stop coloring present choices; real healing grows in honest, prayerful community. Third, discover purpose as you see the hope you’re called to carry. Purpose stops being a job title and becomes the unique role you play in sharing the redeeming work of Jesus. Finally, make a difference by investing where God counts riches: people. Neighbors, coworkers, and family become the field where hope is planted and futures change.

Along the way we anchor in Psalm 92’s promise that those planted in God’s house flourish, and Psalm 16’s vision of a path that leads to fullness of joy. We talk practical habits that change your environment—consistent time in Scripture and prayer, joining a small group for accountability and healing, serving with your gifts, and taking courageous next steps that align with calling. We also unpack why church growth matters only as a byproduct of transformed lives: when people find freedom and purpose, rooms fill, and capacity must grow to serve more stories of renewal.

If you’re ready to trade striving for flourishing, this conversation offers a simple map: know God, find freedom, discover purpose, make a difference. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review telling us which step you’re taking next.
