Episode 174: Planted Part 5: Planted In Prayer - Pastor Ryan Windauer

Impact Church — Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 -0700

Prayer can easily become routine, performative, or something we only turn to in emergencies. But Jesus taught prayer as a daily relationship with God—not a religious performance. In this sermon, you’ll learn how prayer changes your heart, strengthens your faith, and keeps you spiritually grounded when life feels overwhelming. If you’ve struggled with consistency, distraction, doubt, or feeling distant from God, this message will help you build a stronger prayer life rooted in Scripture.

In this sermon, Pastor Ryan Windauer of Impact Church teaches what Jesus meant when He said to pray in secret, seek God sincerely, and trust the Father daily.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why prayer is more than religious routine
How to pray when you don’t know what to say
What Jesus taught about private prayer and authenticity
Why daily dependence on God changes your mindset
How unforgiveness and temptation affect your spiritual growth
What it means to pray for God’s will instead of your own

Prayer is not about perfect words. It’s about staying connected to God when life pulls you in every direction. The quiet moments no one sees are often where God does His deepest work. When your life is planted in prayer, your faith grows stronger even in difficult seasons.

You know what God is asking, but you keep hesitating. Fear, doubt, insecurity, and excuses can keep you stuck in the same cycle. The Bible shows that surrender isn’t easy—but it’s the only path to real growth and purpose. This message breaks down what actually happens when you stop resisting and start obeying God’s will. In this sermon, Guest Speaker Pastor Leo Bigger teaches how the life of Moses reveals the real journey of surrender—from doubt to obedience, through struggle, and into transformation. In this sermon, you’ll learn: Why you keep making excuses when God calls you to something bigger How fear and insecurity block obedience (and how to overcome them) What actually changes when you say “yes” to God Why following God often gets harder before it gets better How seasons of struggle and waiting are shaping you, not stopping you Surrender doesn’t feel powerful in the moment—it feels uncertain, uncomfortable, and costly. But on the other side of your yes is a life marked by purpose, authority, and transformation. What you keep holding onto may be the very thing God wants to use.

Episode 170: Planted Part 2: Planted With God's People

Impact Church — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0700

Who you spend the most time with is shaping your thoughts, your habits, and ultimately your future. Many people feel stuck, spiritually drained, or pulled back into old patterns—and don’t realize their environment is the reason. The Bible teaches that real growth doesn’t just come from what you believe, but who you’re surrounded by. This message shows how choosing the right relationships can unlock your growth, protect your purpose, and change your direction.
In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how your circle, environment, and alignment directly impact your spiritual life and future.
In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why your current circle may be limiting your growth
How the wrong relationships slowly pull you away from God
What “bad company corrupts good character” really means
How to choose people who strengthen your faith
Why alignment matters more than intention The people around you aren’t neutral—they’re shaping you. Some relationships push you toward purpose, while others quietly pull you away from it. The difference between growth and stagnation may not be your effort… it may be your environment.

Episode 153: The Missing Peace Pt. 2: Live In Harmony With One Another | Pastor Travis Hearn | Impact Church

Impact Church — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 22:00:00 -0700

In Part 2 of our Christmas series The Missing Peace, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a timely and transformational word: Live in Harmony With One Another.

As the holidays stir emotions, conflict, and tension, this message reminds us that peace isn’t a seasonal feeling—it’s a spiritual discipline. From Romans 12:9–18, Pastor Travis unpacks the truth that peace is not accidental, it’s intentional. Harmony doesn’t just happen—it’s chosen, pursued, and often, painfully fought for.

Whether it’s a tense family dinner or a fractured relationship, you’ll be challenged to lay down your pride, your right to be right, and your desire to win. Why? Because peace will cost you—but it’s worth everything.

This sermon dives deep into how to set your mind on things above, sow seeds of peace, and let the peace of Christ rule your heart. With vivid illustrations and biblical insight, you’ll see that peacemaking isn’t weakness—it’s spiritual maturity. It’s family resemblance.

Because when we choose peace, we mirror the heart of our Father.
This Christmas, let’s tear down the fences built by offense and let the Prince of Peace take the throne of our hearts.
