Strength in the Lord | Pastor Josh Hersey | Accelerate

What if the middle of the year is actually the moment to start again?
In this message, Pastor Josh takes us into one of the most emotional scenes in David’s life— Ziklag. Everything is in ruins. The people closest to him are ready to stone him. And yet, somehow, David doesn’t break. He strengthens himself in the Lord.
This isn’t just a sermon about endurance. It’s about real life. Real emotions. Real setbacks. And a real God who meets us right in the middle of it. Whether 2025 has felt like victory or survival, this message is an invitation to reset, recharge, and ask God once again, “Teach me to do your will.”
Get ready for a week of intentional pursuit as we step into Accelerate Week together. From fasting and prayer to worship and the Word, it all begins here, with a heart that leans in like David’s.

Experience the Gospel | Pastor Josh Hersey | Good News

What if the most powerful way to share the gospel isn’t a perfect argument but a personal experience? In this message, Pastor Josh closes out our Good News series by unpacking the story of the Samaritan woman and her unforgettable encounter with Jesus. It’s not just a story about wells and water — it’s about shame, identity, and what happens when you realize the Messiah knows your whole story... and still offers you living water.
This week’s message reminds us that your story matters. Whether you’re fresh off your own encounter with Jesus or wondering what you still need to leave at the well, there’s room in this story for you.

Roots and Fruits

Are you watering fruit instead of the root? In this episode, Pastor Josh and Trevor get real about the difference between doing for God and being with God. From hilarious cherry debates and lawn-mowing theology to vulnerable moments of parenting and spiritual performance, they explore how easy it is to focus on the fruit — our behavior, results, and routines — while missing the root, a deep relationship with Jesus.
You’ll hear practical wisdom, raw honesty, and maybe a little too much about chicken wings. But by the end, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of what it means to abide in Christ, stir your affection for Him, and let the right kind of fruit grow naturally in your life. Whether you're leading, parenting, serving, or just trying to stay connected — this one’s for you.

Proclaiming the Gospel | Pastor Josh Hersey | Good News

What does it really mean to proclaim the gospel and not just live it? In this message from our Good News series, Pastor Josh walks us through 2 Timothy 4 with clarity, humor, and conviction, reminding us that the call to share the gospel isn’t just for preachers, it’s for all of us. Whether you're introverted, unsure of your giftings, or just wondering how to talk about Jesus without sounding weird, this message is for you. Get ready to discover the beauty and boldness of speaking God's Word out loud in your everyday life.
Packed with practical tools, personal stories, and biblical truth — including a walkthrough of the Roman Road — this teaching will equip you to share the message of Jesus with confidence and compassion. Watch now and be reminded: the gospel is not about good vs. bad, it’s about death vs. life—and we’re all invited to carry that life to others.

Answering Tough Questions | part 2

What do hot dog-scented hair, fanny packs, and the book of Revelation have in common? This episode. In Part 2 of our listener Q&A, we dive deep and laugh hard. From navigating spiritually mismatched marriages to breaking cycles of sin, staying humble while carrying the power of the Holy Spirit, and what we’d say to every 20-something trying to find their way, no question is off-limits. Vulnerable, practical, and just the right amount of ridiculous, this one will hit your heart, stir your thoughts, and maybe even make you sing karaoke.

Living the Gospel | Pastor Josh Hersey | Good News

What if God’s big plan to reach the world… is you? That’s what this message is all about. Not your pastor. Not a platform. You. Your life, your words, your response to pressure, fatigue, criticism, and everyday moments. In this message, Pastor Josh pulls back the curtain on what it really means to live the gospel — not just preach it, but embody it. We’re not just saved from something — we’re saved for something. You were made to be an ambassador of heaven, and yes, God picked you on purpose.
But let’s be honest — there’s a lot that fights against that calling. The fear of people’s opinions. The pull of pride and selfishness. The weight of burnout. This message will stir something in you, challenge you, and remind you that the power to live this out doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from staying close to Jesus. Because apart from Him, we can do nothing. But with Him? We can light up the world.
