It's time to friend up! There are two types of people, those who sit in the balcony and cheer you on and those who live in the basement and try to drag you down. Pastor Jeff Vines teaches us if you want to go far, you need someone in your life who is sitting in the balcony cheering you on. He references the story of Barnabas (Son of Encouragement) who stood by someone no one else would. It was because of Barnabas that the person he invested in changed the world. Use your platform to elevate someone else!

There is no room for prejudice in the church. Pastor Steve Meharg teaches us that God has called everyone to be clean and repent. Therefore prejudice in the church has no place and doesn't belong.

Have you or have you not had a conversion experience? Pastor Jeff Vines teaches us from the story of Paul in the Bible about what it looks like to have a conversion. It is through this life changing conversion that Paul had his eyes opened to the spiritual world around him, simultaneously revealing that he was a worse person than he could ever imagine yet more loved by God than he could ever imagine.

You don't know who's watching you and it only takes one person, the right person, to be impacted by your actions to change the world.

Learn why Stephen's actions changed Saul's heart and the course of the church in this teaching from Pastor Jeff Vines.

There is church in the wild and it's shown in the book of Acts. Pastor Rory Eldridge shows us what a church in the wild looks like. He also gives us some examples of people who are living out what it is to be a church in the wild. For example, DJ Soto who started VR Church and is baptizing VR avatars. Rory reminds us that history makers are rule breakers and that was modeled by Jesus.
