  • You Don't Have Burnout. Here's What You Actually Have

    You Don't Have Burnout. Here's What You Actually Have
    Dec 27 2025
    You don’t have burnout. Burnout is the symptom — not the root. If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly “needed,” this message challenges the story you’ve been telling yourself. The real issue isn’t laziness, weakness, or even stress. It’s distraction, misplaced responsibility, and carrying burdens God never assigned you. In this message, we unpack: Why busyness often disguises itself as faithfulness How inheriting other people’s anxiety steals your rest Why Jesus repeatedly withdrew — even when people needed Him The biblical rhythm for real rest that restores focus and alignment If you’ve been running on empty, this isn’t a message about doing less — it’s about doing what actually matters.

  • Your Burnout Has Nothing to Do With Stress

    Your Burnout Has Nothing to Do With Stress
    Dec 20 2025
    Stress isn’t the cause of burnout — it’s the warning sign. What part of your life feels out of alignment right now? In this message, Eric Thomas challenges one of the most common assumptions about burnout and exhaustion—and reveals what’s actually draining you. Using the story of Mary and Martha, this message exposes how busyness, overwork, and misplaced priorities quietly rob us of peace, clarity, and spiritual alignment. Stress isn’t the root problem—it’s the signal that something deeper is off. If you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do but still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or empty, this message is for you. This isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing the right thing at the right time.

  • You’re Stretched Too Thin? Here’s Why

    You’re Stretched Too Thin? Here’s Why
    Dec 13 2025
    If you feel stretched too thin, it’s not because you’re weak—it’s because you’re carrying weight God never told you to carry alone. In this message, we unpack why overworking isn’t faithfulness, why burnout is often a warning, and how God’s strategy for rest includes delegation, clarity, and shared responsibility. Using Matthew 11 and Exodus 18, this sermon exposes a hard truth: Overworking can be disobedience disguised as responsibility. If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or trying to do everything by yourself—this is your reset. Key themes in this message: Why rest is a real strategy, not laziness “Make your load lighter” (God’s leadership principle) Delegation without guilt Why capable people matter How clarity eliminates confusion 📖 Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Exodus 18:17–23 📌 CONNECT WITH US 👍 Like this video if it encouraged you 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications for weekly messages - 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ApocMinistry?sub_confirmation=1 📤 Share this message with someone who needs it 🎧 Listen to the podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts (Search: APOC Ministry) 📱 Follow us on social media: Instagram: @apocministry_ YouTube: APOC Ministry 🌐 Learn more about APOC Ministry: Visit our website and get connected to upcoming services, events, and resources.

  • When God Pulls the Emergency Brake: The Warning Before the Breakdown

    When God Pulls the Emergency Brake: The Warning Before the Breakdown
    Dec 6 2025
    What if the thing blocking your breakthrough isn't more hustle… but a lack of rest? In this powerful message, Dr. Eric Thomas unpacks why God is pulling the emergency brake on your life—not to punish you, but to protect you from a breakdown. Drawing from Matthew 11:28–30 and Luke 5:16, ET reveals that rest isn't optional—it's a spiritual strategy modeled by Jesus Himself. You'll discover: - Why rest is the intentional act of stopping work, noise, and pressure so your body can recover, your mind can reset, and your spirit can reconnect with God - How Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray—and what that rhythm means for your schedule, relationships, and purpose - The difference between resting from people vs. resting with God—and why December is your reset season - Why 98% of major food chains stay open 24/7, but the one that rests (Chick-fil-A) is the one everybody respects - How to pause, pray, read, and reset before life resets you the hard way This isn't about doing nothing. It's about discipline over distraction. It's about pulling away so you don't fall apart. Before God uses you greatly, He wants to restore you deeply. Key Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Luke 5:16, Genesis 2, Philippians 4:6–7, Jeremiah 29:11 What to do this December: • Pause – Turn down the noise so you can hear from God • Pray – Talk to God more than you talk to humans • Read – One verse, one Psalm, one Proverb daily • Reset – Drink water, get sleep, clean your space, protect your peace Rest is not quitting. It's recharging. It's not lazy—it's obedience. 📲 Download the APOC App: Open your app store and search "APOC Ministry." Tap Connect and drop your name and best contact. 🙏 Need Prayer?

  • Factory Reset: Rest Is God’s Strategy for Your Next Level

    Factory Reset: Rest Is God’s Strategy for Your Next Level
    Nov 30 2025
    What if the thing blocking your next level isn’t a lack of grind… but a lack of rest? In this message, Dr. Eric Thomas unpacks God’s strategy for a factory reset — not to punish you, but to restore you deeply so He can use you greatly. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:11 and Jesus’ own rhythm of withdrawing to rest, ET shows why heaven is calling you to stop worshiping hustle and start honoring rest as a spiritual strategy. You’ll hear: - Why God told ET to separate accounts and start preparing at the end of the year for the next year - How a strategy coach put him on “idea punishment” and unlocked a new level of impact - Why Matthew 11:28–30 reveals rest as a pillar of success, not a reward after success - How Jesus often withdrew (Luke 5:16) and what that means for your schedule, your ministry, and your family Why this season at APOC is a factory reset: reset, rest, refresh, restore This isn’t about laziness. It’s about alignment. Before God uses you greatly, He restores you deeply.

    God's Purpose vs. World Programming: The Ultimate Battle for Your Soul
    Nov 23 2025
    In this powerful youth-focused message, Pastor TJ Tyus teaches why you have to stop clocking their tea and start clocking YOUR tea: T = Thoughts – the collision of voices in your head E = Emotions – real, but not your boss A = Actions – the habits that create your life Using the stories of Cain & Abel, Adam & Eve, and real-life testimonies of grief, anger, and missed opportunities, Pastor TJ shows how: Life doesn’t put things in you, it reveals what’s already inside Two kids in the same house can pick two completely different futures based on the voice they follow You don’t have to repeat your parents’ pain – you can rewrite the pattern and break generational curses If you’ve struggled with anger, low self-worth, or just “going with the crowd,” this message will challenge you to: Clock your thoughts – “As a man thinketh…” Clock your emotions – Feel them, but don’t let them drive Clock your actions – Excellence eliminates options STAY CONNECTED WITH APOC MINISTRY Subscribe to the channel for more messages from Pastor TJ Tyus & Dr. Eric Thomas Search “APOC Ministry” in your app store to stay updated with services, events, and messages https://www.youtube.com/@ApocMinistry?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to the APOC Ministry Podcast on Apple Podcasts & Spotify https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apoc-ministry/id1448489948 Partner with the ministry & help us Love, Grow, and Serve our communities This is the day the Lord has made.

  • How To Know If It’s God’s Voice… Or Just Your Trauma Talking

    How To Know If It’s God’s Voice… Or Just Your Trauma Talking
    Nov 16 2025
    You’ve been praying for clarity… but the real battle isn’t around you — it’s inside your ears. Trauma has a way of becoming a soundtrack: a quiet, constant melody that tells you you’re not enough, you’re not loved, you’re not chosen. And if you don’t confront it, you’ll confuse the noise of your past with the voice of your Father. In this message, you’ll learn how to recognize the wrong soundtrack, silence the lies, and finally hear God’s voice with confidence, peace, and identity. God calls you royal. Trauma calls you broken. This message shows you how to choose the right voice.

  • How to Win when you're outnumbered

    How to Win when you're outnumbered
    Nov 9 2025
    Outnumbered at work, in life, or in your head? This message breaks down a counterintuitive playbook from Gideon: God reduced the team from 32,000 to 300 so the win couldn’t be credited to human strength. Translation: purity over popularity, alignment over volume, covenant over control. You’ll learn: Why you can’t defeat what you secretly worship How God “thins” your circle to protect your destiny The 1% principle: purity beats numbers in the Kingdom A practical path to marital & life peace: standards, prayer, order Key Scriptures: Judges 7; Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 23; Romans 8:1; Job 13:15 Takeaway: Stop demanding a 32,000-man solution. Align with God’s way—and watch 300 be more than enough. — 📲 APOC App: Search “APOC Ministry” in your app store 🎧 Podcast: APOC Ministry 🙏 Partner with APOC: Give as an act of covenant, not compulsion - www.apocministry.org
