Ever feel like your family's mess disqualifies you from God's best?Carl kicks off House of Dysfunction by owning the chaos in his own family, from plastic-covered couches to Haitian Thanksgiving drama. But it’s not just laughs. He walks us through the messy, powerful story of Rahab, a woman whose past screamed “disqualified” yet whose faith changed everything. This is a message for anyone who feels like their story is too broken, their choices too flawed. Grace lives in the places we least expect—right in the middle of our dysfunction.Rahab’s story is proof: God doesn’t wait for perfection, He looks for surrender. Her scarlet cord wasn’t just a rescue sign, it was a declaration: grace is in this house. If you're tired of being stuck in generational brokenness, Rahab’s faith shows the way out. This is a raw, honest call to stop playing it safe, tie your cord, and step boldly into a better legacy.

This weekend, we wrestled with one of the most human questions imaginable: what will our bodies, minds, and relationships be like in heaven? Jesse and the team got real about scars—both physical and emotional—and how the hope of resurrection gives new meaning to suffering. With stories like Jackson and Glenn’s, we saw how healing in heaven isn't just physical; it’s deeply relational and redemptive. Heaven isn’t about perfection as we define it—it’s about presence. And when we see Jesus, nothing else will matter.Our earthly struggles with comparison, sickness, and even the American dream reveal a deeper longing: to be fully known, fully healed, and fully united with God and others. In heaven, insecurities vanish. Scars from suffering become symbols of glory. We’ll walk free, restored not only in body but in soul, finally able to say to those who loved us: “I saw it all.” And in Jesus’ presence, even our deepest questions will fade into worship.

What if Heaven is better than you ever imagined—so good you don’t even have the words?This week, we explore what the Bible actually says about heaven, not just myths or cartoons, but a place of healing, wholeness, and unimaginable joy. From the scars we carry to the deepest longings we chase, Jesus doesn’t just promise to make things new; He promises to make them better. Jim walks us through our longing for real fulfillment and why the best moments in life are just a shadow of what’s to come.Heaven isn’t a downgrade from Earth; it’s the full upgrade. Think beauty, intimacy, joy, and peace without limits. You’ll be healed. You’ll be whole. You’ll be fully known and loved by the One who made you. Every scar that tells a story of faithfulness won’t be erased—they’ll shine with glory.

In this deeply moving episode, Pastor Jesse continues our series on Heaven — not as a distant theological concept, but as a living hope that shapes how we live today.We explore the reality of eternity, the nature of judgment, and what Scripture says about the current Heaven, the eternal Heaven, and yes — even a bit about Hell. But more than that, we open up about the personal hopes we carry for Heaven, including a powerful reflection on what it means to feel like our loved ones are still with us, just in a different dimension."What I want in Heaven is just to know He saw that... that even though it doesn't feel like we're experiencing it together right now, we are — just in different dimensions."This conversation is a reminder that talking about Heaven isn’t just about the future — it’s about living with intentionand purpose now. Whether it's how we parent, how we love, or how we forgive, eternity shapes today.

What if facing death is the only way to finally live?Most people spend their lives avoiding the thought of dying—but what if that’s where real clarity comes from? In this honest and hope-filled message, we wrestle with the question “What happens when you die?”—through personal story, Jesus’ final moments on the cross, and the raw truth about heaven and hell. This isn’t scare-tactic religion. It’s an invitation to face reality, find purpose, and live fully now.

In Episode 1 of our Heaven Limited Series, we unpack what the Bible actually says about heaven, not pop culture myths, not Sunday school clouds, but the real deal. Pastor Jesse shows how Scripture paints a picture of heaven not as an escape from earth, but as God’s plan to restore it. If you've ever felt like this world doesn't fit? Like success, stuff, or survival mode just isn't cutting it? Then this conversation is for you.Subscribe to stay caught up on this series' releases: https://www.youtube.com/@FlatironsWe explore how heaven and earth were once united, how sin split them apart, and how Jesus is bringing them back together. You'll learn what “present heaven” is, what the Bible says about eternal life, and why your longing for something more might actually be your soul remembering home.

What if the emptiness you feel isn’t because you’re doing life wrong, but because you’re expecting earth to deliver what only heaven can?We’re kicking off Heaven Week 1 by rethinking everything we thought we knew about the afterlife. Most of us don’t have time to think about heaven—we’re just trying to get through the week. But what if a right view of heaven could radically change the way we live right now? What if the soul-deep ache we carry is a sign that we were made for more than just this world?This message challenges the idea that heaven is just something to deal with when we die. Drawing from Hebrews 11, Philippians 3, and CS Lewis, we uncover how a deep hope in heaven reshapes how we parent, grieve, hustle, forgive, and live. We’re not here to escape the world—we’re here to bring heaven into it, one faithful act at a time. Because this world isn’t our home. And when we live like heaven is real, it changes everything.

Are you loving the people in your life as well as they need you to? This past weekend, Jim Burgen challenged Flatirons with a bold call: stop playing it safe, and start loving like Jesus. Whether it’s your spouse, your kid, a coworker, or a friend—you’re being invited into a summer of intentional, no-strings-attached love. Not the kind that waits for a return or assumes “they already know,” but the kind that shows up—like Jesus did. Real love doesn’t assume; it assures. And this summer, we’re all on assignment.
