A Set of Pots, a Pizza Driver, and a God of Order 🍕🍳

"I know this church." Those were the words of a local delivery driver who walked into Linden Road. Years ago, she was in a difficult place, and this church placed a simple set of kitchenware in her hands. Today? She passed those same pots down to her daughter. Chaos says you’re too small to make a difference. The Principle of Placement says that when a 'good thing' is put in the 'God spot,' it creates a legacy that lasts for generations....

The Power of Partitions

It’s Memorial Day weekend, and while many of us are using the three-day break as an absolute escape hatch from our hectic schedules, a vacation won't fix a lack of structure. Today is also Pentecost Sunday, and in Part 2 of our Crushing Chaos series, Pastor Tom drops a truth bomb that will completely reframe your week: "The answer to chaos isn’t peace......

Planting Apple Trees on the Clock

What would you say to the next generation if you knew your time on earth was running out? In this episode of Pastor’s Corner, Pastor Tom Roepke joins Heartfelt Mornings hosts Burch and Lisa to unpack a deeply moving, urgent perspective on life, family, and cultural stewardship inspired by a recent address from former U.S. Senator Ben Sasse. Speaking at the Manhattan Institute while facing a terminal cancer diagnosis, Sasse chose to look past Washington politics and target the true battleground of our era: the human soul and the local family table....

Compassion Sunday / Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day! Today, we celebrate the women who have nurtured, led, and loved us. But today is also a special "one-off" bridge message as we transition from our "Unstoppable Acts" series. In 2013, Pastor Tom traveled to Kenya—from the dense urban slums of Kiberra to the lush mountains above Lake Victoria. In this message, he shares a "hidden chapter" of his journey and how it fundamentally shifted his understanding of God’s heart for justice, generosity, and compassion....

Who Is Watching Your Signal?

In the series finale of Unstoppable Acts, Pastor Tom explores what it means to live out our "Fourth Day"—the life we lead after the mountaintop experience ends. Using the metaphor of a "Strava Beacon," we look at how the Holy Spirit provides us with a signal of safety and direction, and how we are called to be a "live beacon" for others....

This flashback to last week's message with Steven and Devin was a hilariously relatable reminder that life happens fast.

But that funny story carries a deep truth: Sometimes things fly at you in the dark.

What’s your "Bat Story"?

With a friend in faith, you can handle the "bats" of life with confidence. Tune in today at 9am.
