What if the way you've always thought isn't the way you have to keep thinking?

We all develop patterns of thinking shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the voices we've listened to throughout our lives. Some of those patterns help us grow. Others keep us stuck.

In Part 1 of our new series, Mastermind, Pastor Scott Neal shares his personal journey with destructive thought patterns and explores what it means to renew our minds.

Drawing from Romans 12:2, we discover that not every thought deserves our attention, that changing our patterns takes intentional practice, and that the way we've always been doesn't have to determine who we become.

Scripture: Romans 12:2, 2 Timothy 1:7

We often assume that following Jesus means always feeling confident, always believing, and never struggling with doubt. But what if those moments of fear and uncertainty are actually a normal part of growing in faith?

In Part 3 of Scary Faith, Pastor Scott walks through Peter's experience of walking on water in Matthew 14 and reminds us that faith isn't something we can force, fake, or manufacture. Like trust in any relationship, faith develops over time as we get to know the One we're trusting.

Whether you're experiencing a season of confidence or struggling to believe, this message is a reminder that even a little faith is still faith.

Scripture: Matthew 14:22–33

In this message:

-Why faith and doubt often exist together

-What Peter's experience teaches us about trusting Jesus

-Why we can't force ourselves to have greater faith

-How God meets us in our fear and uncertainty

-Why even a simple prayer of "Lord, save me" is enough

What do you do when life changes in a way you never expected, and God doesn't give you an explanation?

In this message from our Still Standing series, we look at the story of Job and what suffering can teach us about life, God, and ourselves. Job never received all the answers he wanted. Instead, he learned that faith doesn't require having every mystery solved.

If you're carrying disappointment, wrestling with questions, or trying to figure out how to move forward after life changed, this message is for you.
