How do you break free from the same sin you keep going back to? You can love Jesus, go to church, and read your Bible—and still feel stuck in a cycle you can't seem to break. Maybe you've tried harder, promised yourself you'd stop, or kept your struggle hidden because you're afraid of what people might think. In Week 3 of UNSTUCK, Pastor JC Worley unpacks two lies that keep Christians stuck: the belief that more willpower will fix everything and the shame that tells us to hide our struggles. Through Scripture, we discover that lasting freedom comes through Jesus Christ, not simply trying harder or keeping everything a secret. God's grace doesn't just forgive you. It teaches you how to live differently. Whether you're struggling with a recurring habit, shame, or a pattern you can't seem to break, this message will help you take your next step toward freedom in Christ.

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't where you are—but what you're still carrying from where you've been? In Week 2 of Unstuck, Pastor JC Worley talks about one of the easiest places to get stuck: your past. Whether you're carrying something someone did to you or struggling to forgive yourself for something you've done, your past can feel much closer than it really is. But you don't have to live there anymore. Forgiveness doesn't mean what happened was okay, and it doesn't erase your past. It means what happened to you no longer gets to control you. And if you're carrying guilt for what you've done, God's grace means you don't have to keep paying for something Jesus already paid for.

Fear doesn’t have to lead your life. In Week 1 of our series UNSTUCK, Pastor JC Worley unpacks how fear keeps us retreating and hiding—just like quicksand. You can be saved and still feel stuck, but you don't have to stay there. Walking through Philippians 4:6–7, discover the three biblical moves to break paralyzing fear: praying about what you fear, remembering what God has done, and letting His peace guard what you cannot control. It’s time to move forward.

There’s GLORY in your story! What the enemy intended for harm, God can use for good—and not just for you, but through you. Your story. Your healing. Your testimony. Your restoration. God wants to use it to bring someone else hope and point them to Jesus. As Pastor Sammy reminds us, what was meant for harm, God uses for good. Not just for your sake, but through you. Your healing and your testimony are meant to bring someone else hope. So stop asking only, “Why did God bring me through this?” Start asking, “Who is God going to reach through this?” It’s time to GO. Find your ONE. Invite them. Pray for them. Share Jesus with them. ⛪ ABOUT GO CHURCH GO Church exists to love people to life by helping people take their next step with Jesus.

Is being a good person enough to make you right with God? In the final week of TRUish, Pastor JC Worley exposes the danger of moralism—the belief that being good makes us right with God. While there is nothing wrong with doing good, our goodness can never earn salvation because God's standard isn't our goodness compared to other people; it's His perfect holiness. The good news is that we don't have to earn what Jesus has already done for us. Salvation is received through faith, not achieved through good works. Through the story of the criminal who encountered Jesus on the cross, we see that God's grace is available even when we have nothing to offer except faith. Relativism says I decide what's true. Emotionalism says my feelings decide what's true. Mysticism says my experiences decide what's true. Moralism says my goodness makes me right with God. But the Gospel gives us a different answer: salvation isn't built on what we believe, feel, experience, or do. Salvation is built on Jesus.

How do you know if something is really from God? In Week 3 of TRUish, Pastor JC Worley tackles mysticism—the idea that what we experience determines what is true. While experiencing God isn't the problem, making our experiences the final authority can lead us away from God's Word and into deception. Signs, dreams, coincidences, spiritual experiences, and even things that feel like God's direction can be powerful—but Scripture reminds us to test the spirits and measure every experience against God's truth. In this message, you'll discover: • Why spiritual experiences aren't automatically proof of God's direction • How mysticism can make our experiences the final authority • Why spiritual experiences without accountability can become dangerous • How to test what you believe God is saying • Three biblical filters for testing spiritual experiences: God's Word, your motives, and Christian community God's truth has more authority than our experiences. Before you follow what you feel God is saying, make sure it agrees with what God has already said.

Should you always trust your feelings? In Week 2 of TRUish, Pastor JC Worley tackles one of the most common messages in our culture: “Do what feels right.” While emotions are real and important, they aren't always reliable—and they were never meant to determine what is true. In this message, you'll discover: • Why emotions aren't bad—but aren't always reliable • Why following your heart can lead you away from God's truth • How sin and our choices affect more than just ourselves • How to recognize and name what you're feeling • Why every feeling should be tested against Scripture • What it looks like to surrender what you want to God Jesus didn't tell us to follow our hearts. He called us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Your feelings are real. They just aren't your authority.

Can everyone have their own truth, or is there such a thing as absolute truth? In Week 1 of TRUish, Pastor JC Worley tackles one of the biggest questions facing our culture today: Who gets to decide what’s true? From “live your truth” to the idea that truth changes based on our feelings, experiences, or circumstances, this message explores the dangers of relativism and why truth matters. Culture changes. Opinions change. Feelings change. Truth doesn’t. Through Scripture, we discover that truth isn't something we get to create for ourselves. Jesus didn't simply teach the truth—He declared, “I am the truth.” (John 14:6) In this message, you'll discover: • What relativism is and why it matters • Why feelings and opinions can't determine ultimate truth • How culture influences what we believe • Why God's truth remains unchanging • What it means to follow Jesus as the Truth The question isn't simply, “What is true for me?” The question is: “What is true?” And if Jesus is the Truth, then we don't get to define truth—we get to follow Him. ⛪ ABOUT GO CHURCH GO Church exists to love people to life by helping people take their next step with Jesus.

What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you're not trying hard enough—but because you're trying to do in your own strength what God never intended you to do alone? On the opening day of Deeper Revival, Pastor JC Worley dives into the gift of the Holy Spirit and what it means to experience God's presence and power in your everyday life. Salvation forgives you, but the Holy Spirit empowers you—and Jesus promised that we would receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. In this message, you'll discover: - Why the Holy Spirit means you are never alone - How God's Spirit gives you supernatural power - Why willpower isn't enough to overcome every battle - What it means to make room for the Holy Spirit - How to ask, receive, and step into everything God has for you If you're facing anxiety, addiction, temptation, pressure, or a battle you can't overcome on your own, this message will remind you that you don't have to fight in your own strength. The same Holy Spirit who filled believers in Acts 2 still wants to fill and empower you today.

What if the direction of your life isn't determined by your circumstances—but by your heart? In the final week of Summer of Wisdom, Pastor David Waldroup explores Proverbs 4 and reveals why protecting your heart is one of the wisest decisions you'll ever make. Wisdom isn't something we collect once and move on from. It's something we continually guard, cultivate, and allow to shape every decision we make. In this message, you'll discover: - Why everything you do flows from your heart - How to protect your heart from unhealthy influences - Why wisdom must be lived—not just learned - How today's small decisions shape tomorrow's destination - Why God wants to give you a new heart, not just better habits - Whether you're pursuing spiritual growth, rebuilding after failure, or simply wanting to live with greater purpose, this message will challenge you to examine what's filling your heart—and where it's leading you.

What does it actually mean to live a blessed life? In Week 4 of Summer of Wisdom, Pastor JC explores what the book of Proverbs teaches about blessing—and it's probably different than what you've been told. A blessed life isn't measured by wealth, success, or comfort. It's the deep joy, peace, and fulfillment that come from walking closely with God and living according to His wisdom. In this message, you'll discover: - Why God's definition of blessing is different from the world's - How walking with God leads to lasting fulfillment - Why creating margin brings peace instead of pressure - How generosity transforms your heart - Why gratitude is the evidence of a truly blessed life

The words spoken to you can leave wounds that last for years—but they don't have to define your future. This powerful message from guest speaker Pastor Micah Stephens explores how words have the power to shape our identity, influence our relationships, and even change the direction of our lives. Through the stories of Zacchaeus, the Samaritan woman, and Peter, we discover that while hurtful words can leave lasting scars, Jesus always has the final word. In this message, you'll discover: • Why words have the power to build up or tear down • How Jesus replaces shame with truth and healing • What to do with the lies you've believed about yourself • How God's Word reshapes your identity • Why the words you speak matter more than you realize No matter what has been spoken over you—or what you've spoken over yourself—God's truth is greater. His words bring life, freedom, and healing because words don't just communicate... they create worlds. ⛪ ABOUT GO CHURCH GO Church exists to love people to life by helping people take their next step with Jesus.

In Week 2 of Summer of Wisdom, Fayette County Campus Pastor Ben Calhoun explores what the book of Proverbs teaches about relationships and why the people closest to us have a greater impact than we often realize. Wisdom isn't just about choosing better friends—it's about starting with the right relationship, examining the voices shaping your life, and surrounding yourself with people who help you become more like Jesus. In this message you'll discover: • Why your relationship with God shapes every other relationship • How your friendships influence your future • The difference between healthy and unhealthy influences • Why isolation isn't the answer—biblical community is • How God uses the local church to help us grow spiritually No one was created to follow Jesus alone. The people you walk with today will help determine who you become tomorrow. ⛪ ABOUT GO CHURCH GO Church exists to love people to life by helping people take their next step with Jesus.

What does it really mean to live a wise life? In Week 1 of Summer of Wisdom, Pastor David Waldroup reveals the foundation of true wisdom: the fear of the Lord. Wisdom isn’t just about knowledge, experience, or making better decisions—it begins with understanding who God is and responding to Him with reverence, surrender, and trust. Throughout Scripture, we see that wisdom starts when we place God at the center of our lives. But when we lose sight of Him, even the wisest people can drift. In this message, you’ll discover: • What the fear of the Lord actually means • Why wisdom begins with God, not information • How pride and self-reliance lead us away from wisdom • Why we need God’s wisdom every day • How Jesus became the answer to our greatest need The way to wisdom isn’t a one-time achievement—it’s a lifelong journey of fearing the Lord, loving the Lord, admitting we need Him, asking for wisdom, and walking in it daily. ⛪ ABOUT GO CHURCH GO Church exists to love people to life by helping people take their next step with Jesus.

What kind of foundation are you building for your family? In this powerful Father’s Day message, Pastor Kenny Dallas shares how every father is called to build a legacy that lasts—not through perfection, but through a life surrendered to Jesus. Using the story of Joshua, this message challenges dads to be strong and courageous, lead with faith, and intentionally pass down a foundation built on God’s Word. A strong family doesn’t happen by accident. It starts when we choose to make Jesus the cornerstone of our lives and allow Him to shape the way we lead, love, and serve. In this message, you’ll discover: • Why fathers have a powerful influence on future generations • How to lead your family with courage and intentionality • Why God’s Word is the foundation for wisdom and direction • How small steps of obedience create lasting impact • What it means to build a legacy centered on Jesus Whether you’re a father, grandfather, future father, or someone who wants to make a difference in the lives of others, this message will encourage you to build something that lasts. “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15 --- ⛪ ABOUT GO CHURCH GO Church exists to love people to life by helping people take their next step with Jesus.
