Most of us wouldn’t drink from a dirty cup — but we still expect God to pour fresh blessings into unclean vessels. In this message, Eric challenges a hard truth: freedom doesn’t remove contamination — instructions do. God isn’t withholding His presence. He’s protecting it. This sermon unpacks why so many people feel free but still stuck, how impati…

This year won’t change just because the calendar did. If nothing shifts internally, this season will look exactly like the last one, same stress, same patterns, same outcomes. Not because you’re cursed… but because you’re carrying what was never cleaned. In this message, Eric breaks down why a new year isn’t automatic and why preparation, not inten…

You don’t have burnout. Burnout is the symptom — not the root. If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly “needed,” this message challenges the story you’ve been telling yourself. The real issue isn’t laziness, weakness, or even stress. It’s distraction, misplaced responsibility, and carrying burdens God never assigned you. In this message, w…

Stress isn’t the cause of burnout — it’s the warning sign. What part of your life feels out of alignment right now? In this message, Eric Thomas challenges one of the most common assumptions about burnout and exhaustion—and reveals what’s actually draining you. Using the story of Mary and Martha, this message exposes how busyness, overwork, and mis…

If you feel stretched too thin, it’s not because you’re weak—it’s because you’re carrying weight God never told you to carry alone. In this message, we unpack why overworking isn’t faithfulness, why burnout is often a warning, and how God’s strategy for rest includes delegation, clarity, and shared responsibility. Using Matthew 11 and Exodus 18, th…

What if the thing blocking your breakthrough isn't more hustle… but a lack of rest? In this powerful message, Dr. Eric Thomas unpacks why God is pulling the emergency brake on your life—not to punish you, but to protect you from a breakdown. Drawing from Matthew 11:28–30 and Luke 5:16, ET reveals that rest isn't optional—it's a spiritual strategy m…

What if the thing blocking your next level isn’t a lack of grind… but a lack of rest? In this message, Dr. Eric Thomas unpacks God’s strategy for a factory reset — not to punish you, but to restore you deeply so He can use you greatly. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:11 and Jesus’ own rhythm of withdrawing to rest, ET shows why heaven is calling you to st…

In this powerful youth-focused message, Pastor TJ Tyus teaches why you have to stop clocking their tea and start clocking YOUR tea: T = Thoughts – the collision of voices in your head E = Emotions – real, but not your boss A = Actions – the habits that create your life Using the stories of Cain & Abel, Adam & Eve, and real-life testimonies of grief…

You’ve been praying for clarity… but the real battle isn’t around you — it’s inside your ears. Trauma has a way of becoming a soundtrack: a quiet, constant melody that tells you you’re not enough, you’re not loved, you’re not chosen. And if you don’t confront it, you’ll confuse the noise of your past with the voice of your Father. In this message, …

Outnumbered at work, in life, or in your head? This message breaks down a counterintuitive playbook from Gideon: God reduced the team from 32,000 to 300 so the win couldn’t be credited to human strength. Translation: purity over popularity, alignment over volume, covenant over control. You’ll learn: Why you can’t defeat what you secretly worship Ho…

Your life should follow the identity you have from God—not your circumstances. Gideon knew about God, but he let problems define Him. When Gideon complained, God didn’t argue with his odds or explain the Midianites; God spoke to his identity: “Go in the strength you have.” (Judges 6) That’s the shift—stop asking your situation who you are. Let God …

When your internal picture and your actual life don't agree, frustration, doubt, and stagnation creep in. In today's message, ET testifies about a fourth-quarter heart check with God—where the views dipped, pressure mounted, and comparison tried to set the tone. Instead of forcing outcomes, he asked for wisdom (James 1:5), stopped chasing human app…

Everyone wants favor—but not everyone walks in it. ET breaks down the difference between being God's favorite and actually living favored. The key? Non-negotiables. Daniel prayed three times a day even when a law said not to (Daniel 6). Ananias and Sapphira said "yes" with their mouths but negotiated the covenant with their hearts (Acts 5). In this…

Description Wrong words wrote your life. Today, we kill the script and install truth. It's not a discipline problem—it's a dialogue problem. Conversation → conviction → direction.

Your finances are chaotic. Your family's struggling. You're praying but nothing's changing. This isn't a discipline problem - it's a dominion problem.

In this message, ET reveals the formula: HI × SI = DO (Human Interaction × Spiritual Influenc…

Your life isn't stuck because of what you've been through—it's stuck because of the conversations you've been having.
