Knowing Jesus changes more than our behavior. In week four of Imperfect People, Ethan Matott explores John’s transformation from a son of thunder into an apostle of love and how confidence in Jesus’ love can change us.

God already knows everything you think disqualifies you. He hasn’t changed His mind about calling you. In week one of Imperfect People, we look at the gap between who we are and what God has called us to do, and how His grace gives us the confidence to stop performing and start living on purpose.

Legacy is about more than being remembered. In this episode, Ryan, Doug, and Ethan Matott sit down with youth pastor Ethan Moroles to explore how faith is passed from one life to another.

Your past does not have to determine your legacy. In this Youth Takeover message, Ethan Moroles opens Paul's letter to Timothy and asks what it looks like to redeem the legacy we have been handed. He looks at remembering where we came from, reigniting the gifts God has placed in us, and the reminder that legacy was never meant to be built alone.
