If God has placed you HERE on purpose, what does it mean when He tells you to GO?

In the final week of our YOU ARE HERE series, guest speaker Pastor Dave Bushnell challenges us to see the people and places around us through God’s eyes. Going doesn’t always mean finding somewhere new. Sometimes it means seeing where you already are differently—and being willing to respond to what God shows you.

You’re already HERE. The question is: what will you do with it?

What does it really mean to love your neighbor?

Is it simply doing something kind for someone... or is it something deeper?

In Week 5 of our You Are Here series, Pastor Bryant explores one of Jesus' most familiar parables—the Good Samaritan—and challenges us to rethink what biblical love actually looks like.

Because love isn't another item on our Christian checklist. It's the natural response of a heart that has first experienced the love of Christ.

When His love changes us, it changes the way we see people, move toward people, and make room for the people He's already placed right here in our lives.

We all have people we think we already understand.

Maybe we know their reputation, their background, their beliefs, or the label we’ve placed on them. But knowing something about someone isn’t the same as actually knowing them.

In Week 4 of our You Are Here series, Pastor Bryant challenges us to move beyond assumptions, take time to learn people’s stories, and see them through the heart of God.

Because if we’re going to reach people, we have to be willing to get close enough to know them.

We all want to help people, but sometimes we move too quickly to giving answers before we’ve taken the time to understand the person in front of us.

In this episode, Pastor Bryant looks at the way Jesus asked questions, listened, and met people where they were before leading them somewhere else.

This message challenges us to slow down, stop making assumptions, and learn how to have real conversations with the people around us—because sometimes the first step in helping someone isn’t saying more. It’s listening well.

It’s easy to look at where you are, what you’ve been through, or what hasn’t happened yet and decide what is—or isn’t—possible.

In Week 2 of our You Are Here series, Pastor Bryant looks at Nathanael’s question, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” and challenges us to reconsider the people, places, and circumstances we may have already made up our minds about.

If we’re going to live on mission where God has placed us, we have to learn to see where we are through the lens of Jesus—and believe that what we see is not always the whole story.

It’s easy to spend so much time thinking about where we want to be that we miss what God is doing right in front of us.

In Week 1 of our new seriesYou Are Here, Pastor Bryant challenges us to stop waiting for better circumstances, more time, or the next opportunity before becoming faithful with what God has already given us.

This message is about recognizing the purpose in where you are right now and learning to build, serve, and live faithfully in the place God has already placed you.

Sometimes the thing right in front of us isn’t the whole story.

In this episode of the Awaken at Home Podcast, we look at what happens when we become so focused on what we can see that we miss what may be happening beneath the surface. Through Scripture and real-life stories, this message challenges us to renew our minds, shift our perspective, and learn to see our circumstances through a spiritual lens.

Because sometimes the problem we’re trying to solve isn’t the real problem at all.

Some churches abuse spiritual gifts. Others avoid them altogether.

Paul addressed both problems with the same solution: "I do not want you to be ignorant."

In this episode, Pastor Bryant explores why understanding spiritual gifts is the first step toward using them the way God intended.

Whether you're new to the gifts or have questions about them, this message will help you see God's heart behind them.
