Mars Hill Anywhere

Mars Hill Anywhere Since 1963, we've made it our mission to help people find their way back to God.
(302)

Mars Hill is a place where the hurting, the hopeless, the discouraged and depressed, the frustrated and confused can find life, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance, and encouragement.

We redesigned the Mars Hill Anywhere app and made a video showing you what's new.

Church doesn't happen once a week. It happens on Wednesday morning before your day starts. Monday, when something's weighing on you. When your Life Group is meeting, and you need the details fast.

The app puts all of it in your pocket. Messages, devotionals, prayer, Life Group info, events, cleaner, simpler, built for the week between Sundays.

Watch the video. Then download it. ⬇️ Download our app https://get.theapp.co/c277

We just dropped a video walking you through the new MarshillChicago.org.

Every page rebuilt. New homepage. Real photography of our people and our gatherings, no stock images. A Messages page you can search by series, topic, or date. Events you can actually find. Giving that doesn't fight you.

We're reaching people in 40 states. The website needed to match that.

Watch the video, then go explore it yourself.

Your mountain didn't move. You just stopped saying its name. This changes now.

"You Didn't Forget the Promise. You Stopped Saying It Out Loud." Caleb didn't ask for a mountain. He asked for THE mountain, the exact one, with the giants still on it. And the scripture that tells us exactly how to fight back.

This week's practice: Write your one-sentence mountain in your phone. Name it. Read it out loud once a day this week. Then take the first step.

Tag someone who needs to see this. Share the replay. Let's keep the conversation going.

You are busier than you have ever been and less clear than you have ever been. Ask yourself one question. What am I actually building? Then watch how fast the one-sentence answer turns into a paragraph.

Caleb refused to be vague. At 85, with giants still living on the land, he walked up to Joshua and did not ask for a mountain. He pointed at one specific peak, the hard one, and said that one. The one you promised me.

In this message, Week 3 of GIVE ME MY MOUNTAIN, we expose the lie that you've lost track of what you actually want, confront busyness as the most respectable way to avoid your mountain, and walk through the diagnostic that ends with you naming the specific promise you've been circling.

In this message:

- Why a transition doesn't erase the promise. It just steals your nerve to claim it.
- How busyness becomes a respectable hiding place for high-capacity people
- Joshua 14:12a, the power of Caleb's specificity, not just his strength
- The three-part naming: name the mountain, name the giants, name the first step

Scripture: Joshua 14:12a · Joshua 14:6–9 · Numbers 13:30 · Numbers 14:24 · Habakkuk 2:2 · Philippians 3:13–14 (NLT)

Weekly Practice: Write the promise you've been circling in one specific sentence, the actual mountain, named, and read it out loud once a day this week.

It comes down to one decision:

Do you keep your promise vague and stay comfortably busy?
Or do you name your mountain out loud?

If you name it, you have to climb it.
But if you don't name it, you'll stay productive and never get anywhere that matters.

One day, you'll call a lifetime of motion a life.

This Sunday at 10:30 AM, we're walking you through the three moves
that turn a buried promise into a claimed inheritance.

You don't need a new dream.
You need the courage to say the name of the one you already have.

You think the waiting drained you. Caleb says it built you.

At 85 years old, after 45 years in a wilderness he did not choose, Caleb stood before Joshua and said: "I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me." The waiting did not deplete him. It preserved him. And so did yours.

In this message, Week 2 of GIVE ME MY MOUNTAIN, we expose the lie that waiting costs you your best years, reframe the wilderness as training rather than depletion, and give you three concrete moves to stop preparing to retreat and start claiming what the waiting built.

In this message:

The quiet lie that makes high-capacity people downgrade what they ask God for

Why the waiting felt like loss when it was actually preparation

The strength inventory: naming what the wilderness built in you

How to take the first concrete step toward the dream you shelved as "too late"

Scripture: Joshua 14:10–11 / Numbers 14:24 / Isaiah 40:31 (NLT)

Weekly Practice: Write down one capacity the waiting season built in you that you did not have before. Then say out loud: "The wait did not cost me. It equipped me."

📍 GIVE ME MY MOUNTAIN is a 6-week series on Caleb's 40-year wilderness, his unrelenting faith, and the audacious declaration that launches your second act.

Sunday's message was for one specific person.

The one who never quit. Never walked away. Did everything right.
And still ended up in a wilderness they didn't choose.

That is not a failure. That is Caleb's story. And Caleb came out of 40 years with every bit of fire he carried in.

Sunday hit different. If you were there, you felt it. If you missed it, everything you need is right here.

"When You're Faithful in the Wrong Season" You stayed faithful. And you still ended up in the wilderness. And the scripture that reveals exactly what God was building in you the whole time.

⓶ Get the research behind Sunday's message (why Caleb's 40-year wilderness was someone else's fear vote — not his failure, what Numbers 14:24's "different spirit" actually cost Caleb, and what Joshua 14:10–11 reveals about how waiting preserves instead of depletes): https://app.sermonsend.com/sermon/pastorstowers/when-youre-faithful-in-the-wrong-season

"When You're Faithful in the Wrong Season," You stayed faithful. And you still ended up in the wilderness. And the scripture that reveals exactly what God was building in you the whole time.
