A Problem For My Problem (Jonathan Rivera)

Train Your Heart To Trust
What if the thing you've been worrying about could become the thing you pray about? Trusting God doesn't mean you'll never feel afraid, it means you don't have to carry your fear by yourself. The next time your mind starts rehearsing everything that could go wrong, turn the worry into a prayer and remind yourself: You have a Father who knows what you need. If you’ve just made a decision for
When The Gift Becomes A Prison
How are you handling the gifts God's given you? In "When The Gift Becomes A Prison," Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reveals how Jesus broke from tradition to show us how to live in His truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This Time Around...
What do you do when you keep showing up, but nothing seems to be changing? Just because progress doesn’t look like you expected doesn’t mean it’s not happening. If you’re frustrated with where you are or focused on where you thought you’d be by now, discover how God can give you the strength to keep going, make adjustments, and trust Him with your next step.If you&rsq
Copy That
What you copy is what you become. In "Copy That," Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church challenges us, not to replicate what we see in culture, but to imitate the character of Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You Can Skip This!
Some hard things are part of growing. Others come from staying stuck in patterns God is trying to lead us out of. You may not be able to skip every difficult season, but you can stop letting fear, doubt, or disobedience keep you there longer than you need to be. When you can't skip what you're going through, praise can help you keep moving forward. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ,
Be Careful What You Copy
Don't take your cues from culture. In "Be Careful What You Copy," Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reveals that, when we copy culture, we're missing out on the unique plans God has for us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hold On To Your Song (Jonathan Josephs)
Hold on to your praise, even in your darkest seasons. Drawing from the story of Paul and Silas in prison, this message reveals how worship isn’t a reflection of our current circumstances, but a declaration of God’s unchanging faithfulness. When we choose to praise God in the middle of pain, we invite His presence into our struggle and turn our deepest trials into a testimony for others
You Didn't Lose It
It's okay to have doubts. In "You Didn't Lose It," Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reveals that the presence of doubt doesn't mean the absence of faith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Prayers You’re Not Proud Of
Angry? Pray. Confused? Pray. Doubting? Pray. Ready to give up? Pray. Because the prayer you're not proud of is better than the one you won't pray. God isn't asking you to clean up your emotions or find the perfect words before you come to Him. Whatever you're carrying, bring it to Him honestly today and pray anyway. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http:/
You Are Not It
You’re more than what you’re going through. In “You Are Not It,” Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reveals that God doesn’t see us through the lens of what we’ve done, but for who we are.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Filled By Faith!
You don't have to feel ready to move forward in faith. Sometimes growth looks like grieving what was, trusting God with what's missing, and still choosing to take the next best step. If you're carrying both blessings and burdens right now, discover how God can lead you forward even when life feels mixed. If you’ve been feeling grateful AND sad, excited AND anxious, or blessed AND overwhelmed

What If I Got It Wrong?
Is it wrong to doubt God? When we face resistance, or God doesn’t come through like we’re expecting, it’s natural to wonder if we heard Him wrong. But it turns out that doubt isn’t really the problem. It’s what you do with your doubt that matters.If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfrScripture References:Luke 7, vers
The Lazarus Factor
When God doesn’t show up the way you expected, it doesn’t mean He’s absent. The delay, the silence, or the disappointment may be the very place He’s drawing close, revealing His glory in a way you couldn’t have seen before.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Take Your Notes On The Boat!
Have you ever wished God would explain why you're going through something? You don't always need a new word from God — sometimes you need to remember the one He's already spoken. If you've been looking for peace, clarity, or confidence in a difficult season, discover how God's Word can help you trust Him even before you have all the answers. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, p
The Sticking Point
Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing. It often means you’re standing in the place where God is strengthening you, stretching you, and teaching you to trust what He’s already put in your hands. The pressure, the resistance, and the pull to go back are all signs you’re on the verge of something significant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When Jesus Is Your Jury
What is the voice in your head saying about you? When you’re wrestling with self-limiting beliefs, it’s tempting to try to impress people to prove yourself.

Wind Vs Word
Do you ever feel stuck listening to the “wind” of fear, doubt, and uncertainty instead of standing on the Word God already spoke over your life? This message reminds us that the enemy loves to keep us focused on every possible “what if,” but faith means shifting our attention back to God’s presence and His promises.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You’re Worth It (Lisa Harper)
It's easy to let your mistakes, your performance, or others’ opinions determine how you see yourself. But your worth was never meant to be measured by what you do; it was established long before you ever had the chance to earn it. If you've been struggling with feeling like you're not enough, this message will remind you of the unchanging value God’s placed on your life. If you’v
When Better Feels Backward
Sometimes the path to better takes you backwards first. What feels like loss or regression may actually be God strengthening your foundation and teaching you to trust His grace in ways you couldn’t when everything made sense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Let’s Build Something (Earl McClellan)
Jesus saves you and makes you new, but He doesn’t stop there. Next, He’ll give you something to do.

It’s too soon to quit on what God has put inside of you. Potential isn’t revealed instantly; it’s unlocked when you embrace the process and keep sowing even when you don't know the outcome.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I Left That Out (Jonathan Josephs)
Most of us have parts of our lives we'd rather keep hidden, even from God. The disappointment we haven't processed. The questions we haven't asked. The fears we don't want to admit.

Are you praying for clarity on a decision in your life? Pastor Jabin Chavez preaches about the role of faith in how we see our lives and in the decisions that we make.

I Know How This Story Ends
No matter what giants you face, you have a spoiler alert: You know how your story ends. Don't get distracted by the ordinary or an offense, because God is using your current battle to prepare you for the victory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s Not Fair (Robert Madu)
Are you disappointed because of what happened… or because of what you expected would happen?

But peace comes when you stop measuring your life against other people and start trusting the character of God. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please
The Blessing Of Both
Don't try to separate your struggles from your successes. Your pain is often intertwined with your purpose, and trying to pluck out the bad may remove the very thing God is growing. Trust that God is big enough to bless both and is using everything in your life for good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
God Keeps Receipts (Rich Wilkerson Jr.)

God’s Got You (Holly Furtick)
