Episode 164: I Didn't See That Coming with Special Guest Darrison Tellez

Impact Church — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0700

Life rarely goes the way we planned. Unexpected detours, delays, and disruptions can leave us confused and frustrated. But the Bible teaches that God often works through the plans we didn’t see coming to lead us toward clarity and growth. This message explores how God uses unexpected moments to move us from spiritual blindness to clear vision and deeper trust.

In this sermon, Pastor Darrison Tellez of Impact Church teaches how God’s unexpected direction can transform your perspective and bring clarity to your faith journey.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why God sometimes changes the plans you carefully made

How spiritual “blurry vision” happens even after meeting Jesus

Why settling for partial healing can limit your spiritual growth

What the story in Mark 8 reveals about progressive spiritual clarity

How God leads you step-by-step even when you don’t see the full picture

Sometimes God doesn’t reveal everything at once. He leads us step by step—taking us from blindness, to blurry vision, to clarity. The moment you didn’t see coming might actually be the moment God uses to restore your sight and redirect your future.

Episode 148: Kingdom Impact Part I: Give It Up

Impact Church — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 22:00:00 -0700

In this powerful kickoff to our brand new series Kingdom Impact, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a raw, personal, and deeply challenging message about surrender, sacrifice, and putting God first. From a teenage dream of playing in the Arizona All-Star Game to choosing a missions trip instead, Pastor Travis shares how giving up what mattered most opened the door to a purpose he never imagined—ultimately becoming the chaplain for the Phoenix Suns for over two decades.

But this message isn’t just about his story—it’s about your story. It’s about that thing in your life that’s fighting for first place. It’s about burying the seed of selfish ambition so God can raise a harvest of Kingdom impact.

Rooted in Luke 9:23–24 and John 12:24, “Give It UP” challenges us to examine what’s really #1 in our lives. Are we holding back something God is asking us to surrender? Are we making excuses that sound valid but keep us from obeying His voice?

This sermon will stir your soul to stop negotiating with God and start honoring Him with your firstfruits—your time, your talents, your treasure, your heart. Because when we give God the first and best, He blesses the rest. This isn’t just about money—it’s about mastery. Who’s really Lord of your life?

Join us as we begin a journey toward radical obedience, sacrificial generosity, and eternal significance.

Because what you give up in faith, God uses to impact the Kingdom.
