In the Season 4 premiere of the Point of Hope Podcast, Steve and Pastor Stephen Gossage step back and take an honest look at the current state of the Church — not just locally, but across the broader Christian landscape.

In a world that feels louder, faster, and more exhausting than ever, many believers aren’t rebelling or walking away — they’re quietly worn down. This episode explores how spiritual drift happens slowly, often without people realizing it, and how churches can lose their center without ever meaning to.

Through Scripture, real-life observations, and a candid Ministry Mailbag question, the conversation focuses on four critical anchors: what the Church is centering on, measuring, prioritizing, and ultimately trusting.

This is not a fear-driven critique or a nostalgia-soaked lament. It’s a steady, biblical call to awareness — and an encouragement to stay grounded in God’s Word, even when everything around us feels like it’s shifting.

Starting strong is easy — finishing faithful takes endurance. In the Season 3 finale of Reset & Run, Steve and Pastor Gossage talk about how to run the race God has set before you with focus, purpose, strength, and steady faith that lasts beyond January. This episode is a reminder that life isn’t a sprint — it’s a steady run toward a faithful finish, trusting that God’s strength will carry you every step of the way.

Before you chase a resolution, ask what you’re supposed to release. In Part One of Reset & Run, Steve and Pastor Gossage talk about what it means to start a new year with a clean heart and a clear focus. From letting go of old weights to leaving bitterness, regret, and distraction behind, this episode is all about traveling light — because some things aren’t meant to follow you into 2026.

Christmas isn’t just a story about a baby in a manger — it’s the moment the King of Kings stepped into the world. In the final message of The Real Story series, Steve and Pastor Gossage look past the sentiment to the sovereignty of Jesus Christ. From prophecy to promise, from manger to throne, this episode reminds us that the King who came still reigns — and His kingdom has no end.

The first Christmas wasn’t quiet because it was peaceful — it was quiet because no one made room. In Part Two of The Real Story Christmas series, Steve and Pastor Gossage talk about what it really means to make space for Jesus in a crowded world. From the full inns of Bethlehem to the overbooked calendars of today, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that peace and rest begin when we open the door to Him.

Christmas isn’t about the noise, the lights, or the latest playlist — it’s about a young woman who said yes to God. In this first message of The Real Story Christmas series, Steve and Pastor Gossage look at Mary’s humble obedience, her honest questions, and her faith that made room for the impossible. When life feels loud and overwhelming, her story reminds us that peace still begins with one simple word: yes.

Gratitude does more than lift your mood — it steadies your spirit. In this special Thanksgiving episode, Steve and Pastor Gossage talk about how thankfulness guards your heart, grounds your perspective, grows your faith, and glorifies God. A grateful life isn’t just a holiday habit — it’s worship that keeps you strong all year long.

The world has its own gospel — and it’s preaching loud. In Part 3 of Under the Influence, Steve and Pastor Gossage show how culture’s messages can disguise lies as entertainment, and how God’s Word cuts through the noise. From 2 Corinthians 11 to John 8, they talk about recognizing false influence, confronting it with truth, and tuning your heart back to the real Gospel.
