Fear is a trick that the enemy has used to try to take our eyes off Jesus since day one. Fear comes to destroy, and it brings friends like doubt, anxiety, and depression to distract us. In Psalm 46 it says that God is our refuge and our strength, always ready to help us in times of trouble. We win by calling out to the One who has already won the victory for us! |

In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson shares, when we honor God the way the Bible tells us to, we end up seeing all that He is worth. Faith and honor go hand in hand. When we honor God's word, we are saying that we have faith in Him, and then we will see miracles happen. |

Honor, by definition, is “to render or esteem glorious.” It’s one of those words, similar to“love,” that immediately is understood in the world and in the church. In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson shares, when we honor God the way the Bible tells us to, we end up seeing all that He is worth. Honor is not given, but authored. For example: When we look at a collectible baseball card, the card’s value changes not because of the card material itself but because who was on the card and what is branded on the player. In the same context, we hope that others would see the branding of Jesus in our lives, and for it to bring value to the world. Our value comes from who He is, not who we are. |

Everyone always talks about Jesus turning water into wine, but when Jesus created this miracle in John 2:1-11, He was actually fulfilling a need. At this time in history, if anyone would’ve thrown a party, or in this case, a wedding, and ran out of food or wine, it was considered poor form and they would’ve shamed the man for his entire lifetime. Although this man’s highest need may have been salvation, that was not his immediate need at that given time. As Jesus acknowledged this, he fulfilled the need, removing the window for shame to come in, and in turn, the miracle was witnessed by his disciples (something that the disciples needed to experience, as well). In this podcast, Pastor Glen Berteau shared several real-life stories of how simple it is to reach others when we just approach everything with the heart of Jesus. A question as simple as, “Can I pray with you about something?” can ultimately bring down the walls between us (the Church) and the lost. Ultimately, we need to make an effort to find common ground in order to fulfill the highest need. We can trust Jesus in this as we walk in faith that His lost children will be not only loved, but it will eventually lead them back to the Father.

In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson of Fearless LA shares a life changing message on how God defines what love is in 1 Corinthians 13. Ultimately, it is something we choose to do in every situation, and with every person. Love never dishonors, isn’t self-seeking or easily angered. What would happen if we actually started to believe and apply this in our lives? What would it take to keep loving every time they reject you, or to keep no record of wrongs? The goal is to love others the very way God loves us, exemplified in 1 Corinthians 13. Jesus hasn’t kept any record of wrongs because his love is not like man’s love. His love protects and always trusts. Ultimately, if we have been transformed by the love of Jesus, then we are able to trust others and operate from a place of overflow of His love. Let’s not make love our talk, but our passionate walk.
