Faith in Action (s2e15) – Lessons from a Paper Airplane Crash – The Wonder of You (wk 4)
As we wrap up our church year, we reflect on what it means to truly connect—with God, with faith, and with each other. From the “pain” of retired preachers to the natural gift of encouragement found in a local congregation, this video is a celebration of the “family” only God can give.
Join us for a lighthearted but deep look at high agency, the power of a kind word, and why being an “outpost of the kingdom” means creating a space where people are free to try, fail, and fly again.

Bridge to Truth (s2e11) – Living as Foreigners in a Land We Don’t Belong In – Beyond Extreme (wk 3)
If you’re a follower of Jesus, you are part of a “legal alien invasion.” We often try to make faith “wimpy and comfortable,” but the reality is that we are called to be radically different from the culture around us. In this session, we discuss the “Extreme” series, the unclassified reality of our spiritual identity, and why the world should be inspired by the “outpost of the Kingdom” that we represent. Stop trying to fit in; you were made to be an innovator, a peacemaker, and a courageous leader in a world that needs a different perspective.

PrimeTime Overtime (s1e13) – Little Things
Are you impressed by “bigness”? We live in a world that measures significance by scale, but the Kingdom of God operates differently. Jesus tells us that the Kingdom is like a tiny mustard seed or a pinch of yeast—starting small, but eventually influencing everything.
In this message, we look at how small habits—like treating a cleaning lady with respect or offering a smile to your spouse—are the “leaven” that transforms your world. Don’t let your life crash because you ignored the small stuff.

The Clash (s4e21) – Devil Cakes, Devil Dogs and You!
Welcome back to The Clash, where we let a Christian worldview clash with the culture around us. In part two of our series on the devil, hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley take a biblical and practical look at how the enemy operates in the modern world.
Spiritual warfare isn’t always about “demons behind every bush”—often, it’s found in the ordinary moments of temptation, unforgiveness, and compromise. Jeff and Chris share personal stories (including a surprise encounter with Mel Gibson!) and theological insights to help you stand strong. Stop living intimidated and start living in the power of a sound mind.

Future Shock (s1e6) – Finding Inner Peace When the World Feels Like It’s Falling Apart
“Be careful, keep calm, and don’t be afraid.” These were God’s instructions to a nation facing invasion, and they are the same instructions for us today. Join Jeff Dixon for Episode 6 of the Future Shock series as we dive into the biblical strategy for navigating the end times. If the “Future Shock” of our current era has you losing heart, this message will help you recalibrate your orbit, fix your eyes on Jesus, and rediscover the peace that surpasses all understanding.

That Didn’t Happen… Did it? (s1e11) – The Dead Man Who Fooled Hitler: The Power of Discernment
In 1943, the Allied forces pulled off one of the most audacious deceptions in military history. They took a corpse from a London morgue, gave him a fake identity, and dropped him into the ocean to trick the Nazi High Command. It worked—and it changed the course of World War II.
But there is a deeper lesson here for us today. In an age of AI fakes, misinformation, and “half-truths,” how do we develop the spiritual discernment needed to tell truth from lies? Join us for this episode of “That Didn’t Happen, Did It?” as we look at the life of Glendwr Michael and the vital importance of seeking the real truth in our own lives.

Extreme Calling – Extreme (Session Two)
Last week we kicked off the EXTREME series with a look at the Extreme Invasion and discovered that we are part of an extreme movement to change the world. But are we really supposed to be a part of it? Well, that is a good question – so let’s answer it right now as clearly as possible YES! You are a part of the Extreme Invasion. Each of us have a call on our lives, given to us by Jesus, and that extreme calling is what allows us to really come alive. So today, we tackle the topic of Extreme Calling and discover … us! It will be fun – let’s get extreme!
Faith in Action (s2e14) – The Kingdom Secret to Refilling Your Own Cup – The Wonder of You (wk 3)
Let’s be real: there are days when the last thing we want to do is lift someone else up. We’re tired, anxious, or just carrying too much.
But what if the “secret” to being refreshed is actually found in refreshing others?
In this session, we break down how to move from “feeling” to “doing.” We share a powerful exercise on how to “catch people doing good” and why a simple text or five kind words can change someone’s life. You don’t need a sermon; you just need a sentence.
Who can you reach out to today?

Bridge to Truth (s2e10) – High Agency Faith: A Concept Every Christian Needs – Beyond Extreme (wk 2)
Most believers are stuck at a “bus stop” waiting for God to move, but what if God is waiting for you? In this session, we unpack the concept of “High Agency”—a term born in Silicon Valley but rooted in the ancient grit of the Bible. From Noah building an ark before it rained to Moses stepping into the Red Sea, scripture never celebrates a lazy faith. It’s time to stop waiting for permission and start moving toward the mission. Learn why passivity is the greatest danger to modern Christianity and how to become a person who “knocks a hole in the wall” when the door is closed.

Conspiracy Cases (s1e51) – You Can’t Disappear From Yourself – Evaporated People (Pt 3/3)
What happens when a person decides to become a ghost while they are still alive? In Japan, it’s a reality for thousands. While many call it a conspiracy, the truth might be even more troublesome.
Host Jeff Dixon explores the “Evaporating People” of Japan, not just as a mystery to be solved, but as a mirror reflecting our own spiritual needs. From the necessity of human connection to the crisis of modern isolation, we look at the biblical truths that offer a way back for those who feel lost.
If you’ve ever felt like disappearing, this video is a reminder that you were created for community, you are seen by God, and there is always a path home.

The Clash (s4e20) – A Devil of an Episode
Movies like The Exorcist have shaped our view of evil more than we realize. Join Jeff Dixon and Dr. Chris Whaley as they “clash” a Christian worldview against the cultural caricatures of the Devil. From the Garden of Eden to the highways of Central Florida, we’re exposing the Father of Lies for who he really is: a created, limited, and ultimately defeated being.

A Walk Through the Carpenter’s Shop (s9e37) – The Living Gate: What Jesus Really Meant by “The Door”
Have you ever wondered why Jesus called Himself a “door”? In ancient times, a sheep pen didn’t have a wooden gate with a latch—it had a living, breathing Shepherd. In this episode of The Carpenter’s Shop, we dive into the historical reality of John 10:7 and discover what it means for your safety, your security, and your purpose today. If you’ve been feeling vulnerable or unprotected, this message is for you.

Conspiracy Cases (s1e50) – Why Thousands Choose to “Evaporate” in Japan – Evaporated People (Pt 2/3)
What happens when the pressure of society becomes too much to bear? In Japan, the answer for many is to simply cease to exist in their current lives.
Join Jeff Dixon for the second installment of our look into the “Evaporating People” of Japan. This episode moves beyond the mystery to examine the hard evidence: the correlation between “urban loneliness” and missing person statistics. We uncover the story of Shao Hattori and the “Nighttime Movers,” a business dedicated to helping citizens flee debt and shame under the cover of darkness.
In a country with no national tracking database and laws that protect the privacy of those who run, disappearing isn’t just possible—it’s an industry.

Extreme Invasion – Extreme (Session One)
What if we were to take Jesus seriously as He calls us to be “grinders”?
What if we were to return to the truth about faith that Jesus taught us?
What if we let go of sanitized and civilized Christianity and decided to live out the powerful and real faith that chooses revolution over compromise, risk over safety, and passion over lukewarm, watered-down religion?
Well, those are a lot of “what ifs” and the conclusion has to be found in this answer – “Well, if we did those “what ifs” it would be pretty extreme!
Yes, you are correct – it would be in a word – extreme…which is exactly who you were created to be!
Get ready – the Extreme Invasion begins today!
Faith in Action (s2e13) – The One Thing You Can’t Fake in Church – The Wonder of You (wk 2)
They say you can fake being spiritual and you can fake being wise—but you can’t fake laughter. In this video, our community dives into a chaotic night of “Two Truths and a Lie” and an impossible engineering challenge involving straws, tape, and a golf ball.
Watch as we explore why a “dysfunctional family” is the best kind of family to have, and why the journey of working together matters so much more than the success of the task. As the speaker says: “Laughter is the true sign of a healthy church.”

A Look Back
Bobbleheads in my bifocals - Eye Exam (Week 1)
September 20, 2009
I want to see Jesus, but honestly, I am not always sure what He looks like.If we are going to live the life we were created to live then we need to make sure we are following Jesus. The problem for many is that we have tried to pick and choose the kind of Savior we want to follow.In this edition of the Eye Exam we take focus on what we need to know about Jesus so that we can see Him more clearly.
