What if the plan you loved wasn’t the path you needed? We share how a postponed church plant, a surprising phone call, and a three-word dream—invest, build, multiply—reshaped our next steps and clarified our mission to help people refocus on Jesus. The journey wasn’t tidy. It meant saying yes when comfort said no, moving back when logic said stay, and trusting that surrender would unlock impact we couldn’t manufacture.

We walk through the nuts and bolts of the vision: why community groups are our engine for discipleship, how sermon-aligned studies create shared growth, and why we’re committed to missions giving that stretches our faith. You’ll hear a year-in-review snapshot—baptisms, youth momentum, prayer rhythms, block parties, benevolence meals, and partnerships—along with the conviction that our city should feel different because our church exists in it. We talk candidly about building leaders we might one day send and choosing spiritual maturity over passive attendance.

Anchoring it all is a challenging look at Matthew 19 and the rich young ruler. The issue isn’t money; it’s the “this” we refuse to surrender. Everyone has one. We name ours and invite you to name yours, believing Jesus’ promise: what’s on the other side of surrender is better. As we pray toward expanded youth ministry, breaking ground on a new space, launching recovery support, and multiplying community groups, we keep returning to the same call—less of us, more of him, for the good of our neighbors.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage to let go, and leave a review with the one “this” you’re ready to surrender. Your story might be the spark someone else needs.
