Older episodes
- 745Unlikely Joy | ManhattanLuke 2:8–20. Pastor Kevin Myers reminds us that joy is not superficial or fleeting, it's rooted in grace. As we close out 2025, this message points us to the unlikely joy announced to shepherds: good news for all people. In a city and a world searching for fulfillment, Jesus comes as Savior, Messiah, and Lord, offering deep, lasting joy that isn't shaped by circumstances.
- 746The Soul Felt It's Worth | BrooklynLuke 2:8–16. In the Christmas story, God announces the arrival of Jesus not to the elite, but to shepherds, outsiders who lived nearby, but not in. Through them, we see the heart of God: good news for all people, especially those who feel forgotten, labeled, or pushed to the margins. This Sunday, Pastor Brittany Smigielski shows us how Jesus enters the darkness, meets us on the outside, and invites us in. When we behold Christ, the Lamb of God and the Good Shepherd, our true identity is restored, our labels are broken, and our souls discover their worth in Him.
- 747Selective Amnesia | ManhattanPastor James Powell from The House Vegas reminds us of Paul's instruction in Philippians 3:13. It comes from a place of lived experience, not theory. Writing from prison, Paul reflects on a life marked by both great success and deep failure. Rather than allowing either to define him, he makes a conscious decision to forget what is behind him so he can faithfully pursue what God has ahead. Selective amnesia is the discipline of releasing what no longer has authority so we can walk fully in God's purpose.
- 748His goodness & kindnessPastor James Powell brings a powerful message from John 10 and Psalm 23, reminding us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who leads, provides, and corrects out of love—not based on our performance, but on what He has done. This message reframes conviction as kindness, inviting us into deeper trust, humility, and gratitude as we learn to follow the Shepherd's voice and rest in His unchanging care.
- 749Pray Forward | ManhattanMatthew 6:9-13. Prayer isn't a lucky poem or a magic formula. It's a pattern, a rhythm, a posture. The Lord's Prayer doesn't twist God's arm, it aligns our soul. In a world constantly knocking us out of alignment, Jesus gives us a way to stand humbly before God, ready to be lifted by His mighty hand. A message from our friend, Pastor Dan Lian.
- 750The Body | Leadership LessonPastor Mark Kelsey reminds us in this Leadership Lessons episode what reconciliation, unity, and authentic discipleship within the Church truly look like. Walking through Ephesians, he presents God's blueprint for the Body of Christ, calling leaders to model reconciliation through the cross, pursue unity with intentionality, and resist inspiration without transformation. This conversation challenges the Church to develop people deeply, submitting to Christ as the Head and becoming a reconciled, unified, and fully equipped Body reflecting God's presence and power on the earth.
- 751Moments for Momentum | Leadership LessonsMoments in God's presence don't just comfort us- they give us momentum for the seasons ahead. When we intentionally steward time with Him, His presence begins to guide us, shape us, and propel us forward. What if the Holy Spirit is using your current test as a place of promotion? In His presence, we learn to discern His leading, gain clarity for what's next, and walk with confidence into what He's preparing.
- 752Wisdom of the Rock BadgersIn this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey dives into Proverbs 30 to reveal how God's wisdom transforms the way we see strength, stability, and success. Using the example of the "rock badger," he shows that where we choose to dwell—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—shapes our lives and decisions. Pastor Josh challenges us to stop relying on worldly measures like visibility, performance, and comparison, and instead to rest in Christ, the true Rock, where insight, perspective, and life-transforming wisdom are found.
- 753Truly I Tell You: Receiving Reality | ManhattanIn this message, Pastor Kevin challenges us to see reality through Jesus' eyes, not the world's. Using Luke 18, he shows how the kingdom belongs to those who come with humility, dependence, and trust like a child. When we let go of pride, control, and false realities, God defines our identity and opens the door to heaven's reality.
- 754From Fear to Faithfulness | FOUNTIn this special Sunday encouragement, Pastor Kevin walks us through Genesis 33:18–20 and the story of Jacob, a life marked by fear, striving, and wrestling with God, yet ultimately transformed by His faithfulness. What begins as a cyclical pattern of fear becomes a testimony of grace when Jacob stops running, faces what he's afraid of, and builds an altar of remembrance.
- 755Standing In The Rain | Leadership LessonsIn today's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Kevin walks through Matthew 5:43–48 and Jesus' challenging call to love our enemies. We explore how cultural interpretations can quietly reshape our faith and how Jesus brings clarity, not minimal obedience but sacrificial love. Through Scripture, honest reflection, and vivid imagery, this message invites us to examine our hearts, pray for those we resist, and learn what it truly means to live as children of our Father. A timely conversation for navigating faith, relationships, and discipleship in today's world.
- 756Are You Tired? | ManhattanIn this message, Pastor Kevin Myers explores Jesus' invitation to the weary and burdened, asking us to honestly consider where our souls are tired. Through Matthew 11 and 12, he reveals how religious systems and human striving can leave us exhausted instead of free. He points us back to Jesus as the only true way to know God. The message calls us to lay down our old ways and come to Christ for real and lasting rest.
- 757The Honest Truth | BrooklynThis week, Brittany teaches on "The Honest Truth" — how cultural politeness and religious language often keep us from being real with God in prayer. Through stories, Scripture, and raw honesty, she shows how honest prayer is where God meets us with truth, freedom, peace, healing, and surrender. If you've ever felt like your prayers sound right but don't feel real, this message is for you.
- 758The Heart of Worship | Leadership LessonIn this Leadership Lesson, we sit down with Tameeka for an honest and powerful conversation uncovering The Heart of Worship. Through a panel-style discussion, Tameeka shares her personal journey and the daily posture of worship that has shaped both her life and calling. This conversation goes beyond music and moments, it's about surrender, obedience, and leading from a place of authenticity. Whether you're serving, leading, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God, this episode invites you to rediscover what true worship looks like from the inside out.
- 759Perfect Position | ALLINAt this month's Allin we explore Exodus 14 and the powerful moment where God places the Israelites exactly where they need to be for deliverance, even when fear makes it hard to see. Though they were surrounded and uncertain, God was not absent. He had them in perfect position. This message reminds us that God often works in ways that challenge our perspective, inviting us to trust His mighty power beyond our limitations. More than an individual call, this is a collective one, an invitation to move from fear to faith, and to step deeper together into what God is doing.
- 760Direction For The Journey | Brooklyn"Direction for the Journey," with Mike Oaks, explores navigating life's challenges and transitions through faith, community, and obedience to God. It highlights how acting on faith, leaning on others, and staying rooted in our identity in Christ can strengthen us during times of doubt, unlock divine provision, and empower us to fulfill our purpose.
- 761Josh Kelsey and Georgie Kelsey present: Perfect Plan | FOUNT Church NYC ManhattanGeorgie Kelsey and Josh Kelsey from FOUNT Church NYC present: Message by Kevin Meyers In Genesis 46, God reveals His perfect plan to establish His people by bringing them down to Egypt. God's perfect plan often runs counter to human reasoning. Pastor Kevin reminds us that we can find hope in any circumstance that feels like an "Egypt," because God strengthens us in our weakness. We are not formed by the plans we fully understand, but by His nearness in every circumstance. Through every trial, He gives us faith to keep walking and is continually shaping us into His image.

- 763Growing Into Leadership | Leadership LessonsWhat does it really look like to grow into leadership?

This conversation will encourage you to embrace your process, stay planted where God has you, and step confidently into the leadership He's calling you to.
- 764Is Anything Too Wonderful For The Lord? | ManhattanIn this message, Pastor Kevin shares how faith grows when we release control and learn to trust God in every season. God is inviting us to rediscover who He really is, the God of the impossible, not limited by our understanding or circumstances. As we encounter Him, our response is not to control or figure everything out, but to repent, trust, and step into a deeper relationship with Him. What feels impossible may actually be an invitation to let go, trust God more fully, and believe that nothing is too wonderful for Him.
- 765The Pace of Prayer | BrooklynIn this message, Brittany reminds us that being a disciple of Jesus means choosing a different way of living in the world. One of those ways is to move and live at the pace of prayer. As we build rhythms that are slow, intentional, and unhurried, we begin to stay connected to Jesus, aware of His presence, and aligned with what He is doing in our lives. The pace of prayer helps shapes who we become and how we experience God.
- 766He Has Already Decided | ManhattanPastor Josh Kelsey explores God's sovereignty through Isaiah 46:9–10. Sovereignty isn't a picture of a distant King controlling from afar, it's the love of a Father who carries His people home. Sovereignty Is Not God's Power Over You, It Is God's Promise to You. The God who declares the end from the beginning is the same God who says, "I have made you, I will carry you, I will sustain you." Because He is sovereign, nothing in your story is wasted, and nothing can separate you from His purpose.
- 767What To do When You Don't Know What To Do | ALLINPastor Josh explores the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 and what faith looks like when we don't know what to do. Faced with overwhelming opposition, the king turns first to honest prayer: "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You." This message invites us to admit what we cannot control, fix our eyes on God, and let praise declare where our trust truly rests. When we place the full weight of our lives on Him, we discover the battle was never ours to fight alone.|
- 768The God Who Sees | Manhattan*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-(--header-height)" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "9c29f4d1-d1a5-418f-8787-a720b7a28337" data-testid= "conversation-turn-13" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="user"> *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "request-WEB:159c0e99-b03d-499f-8feb-74b144ea30ba-6" data-testid= "conversation-turn-14" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> In this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey explores the story of Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21 and the powerful name she gives God: El Roi, the God who sees me. In the middle of the desert, overlooked and running from pain, Hagar encounters a God who finds her, sees her, and hears her. This message reminds us that God is not distant from our suffering or unaware of our story. He meets us in our hardest moments, opens our eyes to His provision, and invites us to see Jesus, the living water who is with us even when we feel unseen.
