Life doesn’t warn you before it throws a curveball. One day it’s a flat tire, the next it’s a medical diagnosis or a quiet ache of loneliness you can’t quite name. But as followers of Jesus, we don’t just react — we respond. And not in our own strength either. God has already placed everything we need in our hands. This message unpacks the spiritual tools He’s given us to navigate anxiety, defeat, distance from God, and even sickness, so we can build something eternal, even when life feels unstable.

With humor, raw honesty, and biblical insight, we’ll show you what it looks like to reach for your spiritual toolbox — vise grips of faith, levels of peace, stud finders of remembrance, and drywall anchors of fresh connection. If this summer hasn’t gone as planned, don’t count it out. God’s still good. And this can still be your Best Summer Yet.

Life doesn’t wait for your permission to get messy and busy. Whether it’s a late-night phone call, a long-awaited promotion, a quiet weekend that feels lonelier than expected, or just another day full of pressure — you don’t get to choose what life throws your way. But you do get to choose how you respond. In this message, Building the Best Yet, we unpack how to live intentionally, using the spiritual tools God has already placed in your hands to build something beautiful, even in the unexpected.

From blueprints that reveal God’s plan to jumper cables that revive your weary soul, this isn’t a message about surviving summer—it’s about constructing your best season yet. Real tools. Real faith. Real hope. And maybe the reminder you didn’t even know you needed: you’re not powerless. You’re equipped.

Have You Ever Felt Overlooked by God?

This week’s message looks into one of the rawest stories in Genesis — Hagar in the wilderness, Abraham and Sarah in a decade of waiting, and the God who meets us in our most forgotten places. It’s about weariness, control, surrender, and the kind of faith that grows slowly, not perfectly.

If you’ve ever felt like God is late, like your prayers are echoing in silence, or like everyone else is moving forward but you’re stuck—this one is for you. Discover what it means to be led by the Spirit, to check the condition of your heart, and to realize that even in the desert... you are seen.

This could be the turning point in your Best Summer Yet.

What if your Best Summer Yet doesn’t start with fireworks or beach trips but with a seed?

Something small. Something buried. Something nobody else notices but you plant it anyway, in faith. That’s the story of Habakkuk. A frustrated, honest guy asking God if He’s even paying attention. And God’s answer? “I’m doing something you wouldn’t believe, even if I told you.” This message digs into how faith grows: not overnight, but under the surface. Not loud, but lasting. God’s doing something in you even if it’s still hidden.

So yeah, this summer might not feel perfect. But what if it’s purposeful? What if all the buried moments, the honest prayers, the faith-filled steps are leading to the kind of fruit only God can grow? Let’s posture our hearts, prepare our soil, and plant like we mean it. This is how we step into the Best Summer Yet with “even though” faith and eyes on the harvest. Let’s go.

They came from Gath, from barrenness, from idolatrous cities…

They were insecure, inconsistent, and in some cases, unqualified.

But God still wrote them into His story. And maybe that’s the reminder we need right now.

This message walks through the broken beauty of people like Obed-Edom, Terah, and Manoah - men who didn’t check all the boxes but still encountered God. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or spiritually shortchanged, this one’s for you. Your flaws don’t cancel your calling. In fact, they might be the very place His glory breaks through and you experience the Best Summer Yet.

Can three months really change your life?

In 2 Samuel 6, a man named Obed-Edom welcomed the Ark of the Covenant—the very presence of God—into his home. He didn’t chase fame. He didn’t force a moment. He just made space. And Scripture says “the Lord blessed him and his entire household.”In this episode, we explore what it means to make space for God in your everyday life—and how that decision can shift your entire season.

This isn’t just about ancient history. It’s about your summer. Whether you’re leading a family, a team, a business, or just trying to keep up with life, we believe this can be your most intentional, joy-filled, spiritually grounded season yet.

Can this be the best summer yet? That depends on who (or what) you make room for.

What does it really mean to give God your first and your best?

In this message, Pastor Josh Hersey challenges us to examine our priorities through the lens of Malachi. It’s not an easy word—but it’s a necessary one. With honesty and biblical depth, Pastor Josh invites us to wrestle with what it means to honor God not with leftovers, but with wholehearted worship, obedience, and generosity.

What if the people we often overlook in Scripture are the very ones we’re meant to learn the most from? In this new series, People You Should Know, we go beyond Bible stories and into real lives—men and women whose quiet faith and courageous choices changed history. Their stories aren’t just ancient—they’re a blueprint for how we can live with bold trust, shed the weights holding us back, and run our God-given race with our eyes fixed on Jesus (Hebrews 12:1–2).

This week, we begin with someone rarely spotlighted—Jochebed, the mother of Moses. She doesn’t get much screen time, but her faith shaped the future. When Pharaoh commanded the death of every Hebrew baby boy, she didn’t freeze in fear. She built a basket. With simple materials and deep trust in God, she did what she could and left the rest in His hands.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, underqualified, or uncertain—this message is for you. God isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for the willing. The ones who will say, “I don’t have all the answers, but You can have all of me.”

In this message we explore:

- Why the people in Scripture still matter today

- How to lay down what holds you back and live by faith

- What “building your basket” looks like in real life

- How legacy isn’t always loud—but it is lasting

Hebrews 12:1–2 | Hebrews 11:23–25 | Exodus 1–2 | 1 Corinthians 10:11 | 2 Timothy 1:5

You may never lead a movement or build a platform. But you can live a life of faith that shapes someone else’s forever.

So what basket can you build today?
