What do you do when the valley feels endless—when the confusion, loneliness, or fear won’t lift?

In this message, Rich reminds us that the pain we carry doesn’t push God away… it pulls us closer to Emmanuel, the God who promises to be with us.

We explore why valleys are often the places we come to know God most deeply, how His strength meets us in our weakness, and why Scripture describes these low places as both battles and places of unexpected growth.

If you’re tired, hurting, or walking through something you never saw coming, this message will help you see that hope is growing right where you feel empty. God is nearer than you think—especially in the valley.

• Why we often sense God more clearly in the valley than on the mountaintop

• How Psalm 84 reframes the “Valley of Weeping” as a place of strengthening

• Why God invites us to rely on His strength instead of our own

• How your mindset shapes your experience in seasons of struggle

• Real stories of God’s presence in painful chapters of life

We all walk through seasons when gratitude feels out of reach—where God seems good to others but distant from us. When life gets heavy, thankfulness can feel like one more thing we’re supposed to muster up.

We all face moments when life doesn’t make sense and gratitude feels like the last thing we have the strength to offer. But Scripture shows us that thankfulness isn’t just a reaction to good circumstances—it’s a way of seeing the world that reshapes our hearts.

In this message, Rich explains how gratitude becomes a perspective, a gateway to God’s presence, and a choice we can make even when life is heavy. When we remember God’s faithfulness and shift our focus from “more” to the Giver Himself, gratitude becomes a practice that brings clarity, peace, and spiritual strength.

If you’ve been overwhelmed, discouraged, or simply stuck chasing “the next thing,” this message will help you pause, look back, and rediscover God’s goodness at work in your story.

We’re told to play it safe—wait until outcomes are guaranteed. But faith rarely comes with a map. From leaving California for Iowa to launching with 62 people (and regathering with 16), this is the story of saying “yes” when it didn’t add up.

As we remember 20 years together, we see in God’s hands, small obedience becomes more than we ever could have imagined.

Ever felt dry, empty, or powerless in your faith? You’re not alone. Many followers of Jesus believe—but live without the daily power and presence of the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor Chris unpacks how awareness and surrender can turn a spiritless life into a Spirit-filled one, where God’s presence brings comfort, guidance, and power from within.

We rush through life chasing success, comfort, and approval—but what if we’re aiming at the wrong target?In this powerful message, Pastor Rich reminds us that some decisions become freeze-frame moments—the ones that define our legacy and ripple into eternity.

When we choose to follow God no matter the cost, invest beyond the now, and live to give rather than to get, everything changes.
