Blessed or Stressed – Upbeat or Beat Up (Session Two)

How do you think you look? We all look at ourselves in the mirror from time to time…but how do you look spiritually?
We usually don’t think about how we look in a spiritual sense. Here is an amazing thought – Attractive people are people who look like they know they are blessed.

Sure, it sounds weird, but it is true. Stressed people – well, they just look stressed -The difference is huge…are you blessed or stressed?

Faith in Action (s1e9) – Why Thanksgiving MUST Come Before Christmas – Rockin’ Around the Tree (Wk 1)

In a world that rushes past Thanksgiving to market Christmas in October, this message is a powerful call to pause. Discover the profound spiritual importance of the holiday calendar’s order. Michael shares a moving, personal story of Thanksgiving as a “grafted” tradition, revealing how it serves as a crucial preparation of the heart. Learn how embracing gratitude first transforms the entire season, shifting our mindset from a “get space” to a “grace space,” and truly preparing us to receive the ultimate gift.

Bridge to Truth (s1e9) – The Devil is a Squatter – If You’re Happy and You Know it (Wk 1)

After our “Face of Fear” haunted outreach event, I received a letter from a retired minister calling our work “evil” and demanding my ordination be revoked. He said we were following the devil. In my response, we explore the true Christian origins of Halloween and why believers are called to invade darkness, not hide from it. The devil doesn’t own a holiday—he’s a squatter on Christ’s territory, and it’s time we took it back. This mission is a powerful example of what it means to live ‘upbeat’ instead of ‘beat up.’ We then dive into the true definition of happiness, revealing why Jesus taught that lasting joy isn’t found in what you get, but in what you give away.

Hit in the Head with a Hymn Book (s1e7) – The Surprising Story of a Hymn You Thought You Knew

In a world that loves dramatic stories, the history of “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is a quiet lesson in authentic faith. The author, Thomas Chisholm, admitted there was “no dramatic story” behind his famous hymn. And that’s exactly what makes it so powerful.
From a log cabin in Kentucky to a quiet retirement by the sea, Chisholm lived a life of constant ups and downs. It was in that persistent, everyday struggle that he discovered the truth of Lamentations 3: God’s mercies are new every morning. This is the story of how that simple, profound realization created a song that would touch millions, proving that God’s faithfulness isn’t just for the big moments—it’s for every single one.

The Clash (s3e16) – Badd to Good Part One

What happens when the roar of the crowd fades and the bright lights of WrestleMania go dark? Former WWE & WCW Champion Marc Mero (aka Johnny B. Badd) returns to The Clash to share the raw, unfiltered story behind his rise to fame and the crushing fall that followed.
In this powerful interview, Marc opens up about his new book, “Badd to Good,” detailing his groundbreaking career, the high-flying style he pioneered, and the personal demons—drugs, alcohol, and devastating choices—that nearly destroyed him. He reveals the single decision that cost him his marriage and fortune, and the moment of true surrender that led him to find redemption and a new purpose in Christ.
This isn’t just a wrestling story; it’s an underdog tale of triumph over tragedy, proving that your greatest comeback can happen long after you’ve left the ring.

REMEMBER (s1e10) – Why Your Foundation is More Important Than Your Strength

We’re often told to be strong, but what if we’ve been focusing on the wrong thing? This talk uses a simple, inflatable shark to illustrate one of the most important spiritual principles: you will always bounce back, not because you are strong, but because your foundation is. Learn how having Jesus as your foundation means that no matter how hard life hits you—or how many times you get knocked down—you are built to rise again. This is a message of hope for anyone feeling worn out by life’s battles.

A Walk Through the Carpenter’s Shop (s9e11) – The Resurrection That Redefined Forever

We often hear about the resurrection of Jesus, but what makes it fundamentally different from every other person in history who was raised from the dead? Drawing from Philippians 3:20, we examine the promise of our “citizenship in heaven.” While others returned to a mortal life, Jesus rose with an imperishable, glorified body—becoming the “resurrection and the life.” Learn how His victory isn’t a look backward at history, but a powerful promise of the future that awaits all who follow Him.

PrimeTime Overtime (s1e12) – Bank Note

“I’ll be there at nine.” “I’ll check on that for you.” Are these casual remarks or are they promises? This reflection explores how the ancient wisdom of Proverbs 22—”A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches”—applies directly to our modern lives. Through a moving personal story and a heartfelt prayer, we uncover how seemingly small acts of keeping our word are the building blocks of a powerful reputation. This is a call to be mindful of our promises and build a character that honors our name, our work, and our faith.

PrimeTime Overtime (s1e11) – That Dog Will Hunt

In a world of changing slang, one old expression deserves a comeback: “That dog will hunt.” It used to be a high compliment for something that was just plain right. This message unpacks that idea, transforming it into a beautiful metaphor for a life well-lived. What if a simple act of kindness, a tip for the garbage collector, or an encouraging word to a clerk was described with that same level of admiration? This is a heartfelt reminder that the best exercise for the heart is reaching down to lift others up. Now that will hunt.

PrimeTime Overtime (s1e10) – 76 Trombones

We spend our lives searching for ways to make an impact. But what if the most powerful gift you can offer isn’t money, advice, or even your time? It’s hope. Using powerful lessons from the classic movie The Music Man and the profound wisdom of Psalm 62, this message reveals why hope is the ultimate medicine, incentive, and tonic for the human spirit. Learn how you can stop crushing spirits and start bringing the “76 trombones” to the people in your life who need a parade. It’s time to become a hope dealer.
