God cares about the stand you take privately than the stand you take publicly.

What do you do when you face fears about the future, concern for your security, or the discouragement of a world that seems to be falling apart at warp speed? With lessons from Daniel, a hero in the Hebrew Scriptures, we can discover how to walk boldly and humbly in ANY environment we go into, even in the "jungles" of life as we carry with us hope, wisdom and empowerment to make an impact in our circles of influence.

"Out of Control: Apathy"

This Christmas, we’re diving into the heart of the Christmas Story through four powerful messages that speak to the journey of faith, the challenges of waiting, and the hope that Jesus brings to all. Each week, we’ll explore different aspects of the Christmas narrative, discovering how the stories of those involved in the first Christmas still speak to our lives today. Whether you're in a season of waiting, growing, seeking, or belonging, the Christmas story is for you. Let’s journey together and experience the wonder of His presence.

Even Mary, who was incredibly familiar with Jesus, had to grow in understanding who He truly was. This message challenges all of us—there is always more to learn about His nature, His mission, and what He’s calling us to. No matter how long we’ve known Him, there’s still room to grow.

The birth of Jesus was the announcement of God’s eternal love for everyone. The shepherds, the wise men, Mary and Joseph—all were invited into the story of redemption. The message of Christmas is that God’s “Forever Home” includes everyone: those who are near, those who feel far, and those who, like the faithful, may sometimes feel forgotten. Everyone has a place in His family.

In this passage, we witness the unstoppable power of Jesus’ forgiveness. Jesus isn’t just offering a one-time fix—His forgiveness shakes the earth, changes hearts, and heals lives. This isn’t just “good news”—this is life-altering, jaw-dropping, can’t-stop-it-now forgiveness.

Unstoppable Forgiveness

We kicked off a new series called The Power of a Story as part of our journey through the Gospel of Mark at Gateway Church in Austin.

Jesus tells the Parable of the Sower to reveal the various ways people respond to God. The parable not only speaks of the sowing of seed but also highlights the different conditions of the heart and how they influence spiritual growth.

Here is an excerpt of the audiobook for Eric Bryant's book - Fruitful based on the Parable of the Soils.

The Power of a Story: The Parable of the Soils

At Gateway Church in Austin, we continued our series through the Gospel of Mark by focusing on Jesus' parables.

Jesus shares a short but profound parable about the kingdom of God. He compares the kingdom to a seed that grows in secret, unbeknownst to the sower. The message is simple, yet it uncovers profound truths about how God’s work unfolds in ways we often cannot see. Let’s take a fresh, creative look at the parable, focusing on the mystery and beauty of growth.

"The Power of a Story: The Growing Seed"

We continued our series through the Gospel of Mark at Gateway Church in Austin.

Jesus uses the metaphor of a lamp to teach powerful truths about how God’s Word functions in our lives. Light is a central theme in this passage, revealing both our responsibility and privilege in how we handle and share the light of God’s truth.

"The Power of a Story: The Lamp"

We concluded our series on "The Power of a Story" at Gateway Church in Austin. This look at the parables of Mark 4 is part of a longer look at the Gospel of Mark.

The mustard seed, known for being the smallest of all seeds, grows into a large tree. This parable holds profound lessons for us about the nature of God’s kingdom, spiritual growth, and the surprising impact of even the smallest acts of faith. The Kingdom of God is like that small mustard seed—it’s unstoppable, it’s growing, and it’s destined to become something of eternal significance.

We concluded our “Sessions” at Gateway in Austin where we will sit down with the wisdom of Jesus - the ultimate Counselor - and dive into five of the most common emotional and spiritual struggles we face. Each week, we’ll explore a new “session,” not with a guru, but with the Savior who knows our hearts better than anyone else. Jesus doesn’t just offer good advice; He offers transformation.

This week’s topic is overcoming anxiety and worry. Perhaps you have gone to see your doctor, your counselor, your small group leader, your pastor and have said these words: “Why Am I So Stressed?”

"Sessions: Why Am I So Stressed?"

God’s plan for the world isn’t random or chaotic. He is intentional, redemptive, and relational. Yes, people will make harmful choices. Yes, we will face hardship. But God’s ultimate purpose—to renew all things through Christ—cannot be thwarted. He is present with us, even when life feels out of control, and He promises to make things right in the end.

For now, we can trust that He is over all, through all, and in all.

"Fit Check: A Dagger and Devotion"

We started a new series called "Beyond Scarcity" at Gateway Church in Austin.

We often live with a scarcity mindset, believing we never have enough—enough money, time, or talent. But God calls us to live differently: to trust His abundance and to walk in generosity. This series will help us see that true freedom and joy come when we open our hands and give generously of our treasure, time, and talent. Together, we will learn to live beyond scarcity and discover the blessing of generosity.

We started a new series called "Mixtape" at Gateway Church in Austin.

Music has always had the power to shape the way we think, feel, and live. Every song does something to us, whether it’s the anthem that defined our teenage years, the breakup ballad that got us through heartache, or the worship song that lifted us closer to God. Lyrics carry messages. Melodies stir emotions. Rhythms embed themselves into our memories. The songs we put on repeat become more than background noise, they become the soundtrack of our lives.

In this series, Mixtape: The Formative Years, we’ll explore how the music around us forms our perspective on life, love, identity, and faith. Some tracks speak lies that pull us away from God’s best, while others point us toward truth, hope, and worship. God invites us to be intentional about the soundtrack we live by. He wants to rewrite the playlist of our lives so that His Word and His presence set the rhythm for our future.

Abuse in our society is widespread but often remains a hidden wound for so many. We want to be healed, to live in God’s compassion and grace, but this menace of secret pain continues to flow under the current of everything we do. Even if you have not experienced this type of wound, you likely know or live with someone who has. We can’t escape the effects. We find ourselves or those we love chained, deeply hurt, and separated from the freedom God wants to provide. How can we discover the wholeness that God has for us? How can we share it with those around us who desperately need to hear? During this series, God Heals You, we will seek to learn from experts and hear stories about those who have found this healing from God.
