What does it mean to be live honestly? To protect the vulnerable? To treat others with dignity, even when it costs us something? This message challenges us to examine the gap between claimed love and lived-out truth--and invites us to become people who speak truth and extend hospitality with courage and care.

Whether you've struggled with being honest in hard moments, or you've been tempted to ignore the needs of others because of busyness or burnout, this sermon will gently confront and compassionately call you forward.

We continue our Love Thy Neighbor series by looking at Leviticus 19:11-14 and rediscover how holiness is more than personal piety--it's about relational integrity and compassion in action.

What if holiness isn't just about personal purity--but how we treat the vulnerable? In this episode, we begin a new series called Love Thy Neighbor, where we explore how God's command to leave the edges of the harvest was never just about farming. It was about compassion.

In a world that pushes us to take more and protect what is ours, this message challenges us to live with intentional margin--because God's love leaves room for others.

Whether you are listening from rural Kentucky or across the globe, this message invites you to ask: Who might be blessed by the space I choose to leave?

What do river rocks, grocery cats, and the Apostle Paul have in common? In this down-to-earth and thought-provoking message, Pastor Nicole uses a tiny pebble and a kid's rock collection to unpack a powerful truth from 2 Thessalonians 3:6-7:

• The church cannot afford idle rocks.
• The Kingdom doesn't thrive on standstill saints.
• And your faith was never meant to stagnate.

Through humor, heart, and conviction, Nicole invites us to examine our lives and ask: Am I building up the church--or unintentionally holding it back?

Whether you feel stuck, worn down, or unsure of your purpose, this message will encourage you to trade idle living for intentional discipleship. Because you were not meant to sit still--you were created to be a working rock in God's mission of redemption.

The storm had passed, but Noah didn’t rush. He waited—watching, listening, trusting. When the dove didn’t return, he knew: the season had changed, and it was time to move forward.

In this episode, Pastor Jason explores what it means to wait on God’s timing and how spiritual maturity is shown in our willingness to surrender control. Drawing from Noah’s quiet obedience, this sermon challenges us to release our grip, trust the Spirit’s leading, and be ready when God signals it’s time to step into something new.

If you’re feeling stuck between storm and breakthrough, this message is for you.

We say God can have it all… but what about the parts we keep hidden? In this episode, Pastor Jason explores the story of King Azariah (also known as Uzziah) and the “surrender gap” that blocked the blessing of God—not just in his life, but in his community.

With honesty, humor, and hope, this message challenges us to examine the “keep out” signs in our hearts. Whether it's pride, fear, or comfort, anything we withhold from God can hinder His work in us and through us.

But surrender isn’t about shame—it’s about healing. And when we let go, God begins to bless others through the very places we once held back.

🎧 Tune in for biblical insight, real-life application, and a Spirit-led invitation to full surrender.

"What are human beings that You think about them?"

That’s the question King David asks in Psalm 8—and it’s a question many of us still wrestle with today. In a world that measures our worth by performance and perfection, Scripture tells a different story.

In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we explore the stunning truth that you were made not just to admire God’s glory, but to reflect it. You were created with purpose, crowned with dignity, and entrusted with a calling—not because of what you’ve done, but because of who God is.

Through the beauty of Psalm 8, we’ll look at what it means to bear God’s image, why your identity doesn’t depend on your past, and how Jesus came to restore what sin tried to steal.

You were made for glory. But the question is—what are you reflecting?

On Pentecost, the disciples were transformed from blabber mouths and doubters into bold, Spirit-filled witnesses. The fire came, the Spirit moved, and 3,000 people came to faith in one day.

But what about us? In this bold and timely sermon, Pastor Nicole asks a powerful question: Are we still waiting for our Pentecost?

We say we do not want to offend--but have we really surrendered to the Spirit who compels us to speak? Is fear holding us back... or is pride still in the driver's seat?

This message invites us to stop waiting, start asking, and be filled again with the power to speak, love, and live the gospel with courage.

Stop waiting. Start asking. Pentecost already came--and the fire is still available.

What does it mean when Jesus says, "I am coming soon"? For many, those words spark fear, uncertainty, or confusion. But in Revelation 22, they are not a threat--they are a promise. In this Ascension Sunday message, Pastor Jason explores how "soon" is less about clocks and more about certainty and readiness.

With grace-fueled urgency and heartfelt honesty, we are invited to examine the condition of our hearts--not through fear, but through the cleansing work of Christ. The question is not when Jesus is coming...the question is: are we ready?

Whether you are new to faith or feeling distant from it, this message offers hope, clarity, and a call to live like the King is returning--because He is.
