  <description>From the grip of fear to the arms of grace—this is the extraordinary journey of Pastor Naeem Fazal, a former Muslim whose life was radically transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
In this unforgettable message, Pastor Naeem opens up about his personal journey from a strict Muslim upbringing to a supernatural encounter with the living God. Woven with the biblical story of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25–33), he draws parallels between ancient sibling rivalry and the modern-day struggles we face—identity, forgiveness, reconciliation, and the need for spiritual rebirth.
Through raw honesty and supernatural revelation, Pastor Naeem reveals what it means to wrestle with God and come out changed. Just like Jacob became Israel after wrestling all night with the Lord, we too are invited into transformation. We see Esau’s rage turn into embrace—a symbol of the radical forgiveness that is possible through Christ.
This isn’t just a testimony. It’s a call. A call to those running from truth, trapped in religion, or broken by betrayal. This message will stir your spirit, challenge your heart, and awaken your soul to the God who redeems every story—no matter how far gone it seems.

  <itunes:subtitle>What if the true message of Christmas isn’t about perfection, but about being found—and this Christmas Eve, as Pastor Travis Hearn shares in Come Out Wherever You Are, it’s your divine invitation to stop hiding, step out of the dark, and be embraced by the relentless love and saving light of Jesus.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>What if the greatest message of Christmas isn’t about perfection—but about being found?
In Come Out Wherever You Are, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a gripping, soul-stirring Christmas Eve message that peels back the layers of human hiding and divine pursuit. Just like a child’s game of hide-and-seek, we once longed to be found. But as life unfolds, we trade innocent laughter for layers of shame, pain, pride, and secrets. We don’t hide to be found anymore—we hide to stay hidden.
But on this sacred night, God calls into the darkness of your life with the most powerful words:
“Come out, come out, wherever you are.”
Drawing from Genesis 3, John 8:12, and 1 Peter 2:9, this message reveals how hiding disconnects us from God and how the light of Christ was never meant to expose us—but to save us. You’ll journey through the Garden with Adam and Eve, confront the deceptive bait of the enemy, and rediscover the relentless love of a God who walks through every shadow just to find you.
This isn’t just a sermon—it’s a divine invitation. A call to step out of the dark and into the light. To stop managing your image and start living in your identity. To stop coping and start healing.
This Christmas Eve, you don’t have to run.
You can be found.
You can be free.
You can step into the Light.

  <description>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.

  <description>Have you ever tried to outrun God? In this unforgettable finale to the Psalm 23 series, Pastor Travis Hearn brings a raw, heart-grabbing word about the relentless pursuit of God's love. Through vivid storytelling—from childhood games of chase to real-life moments of spiritual resistance—Pastor Travis illustrates how God's goodness and mercy are not just passive companions, but divine forces actively chasing us down, even when we run.
Drawing from Psalm 23:6, this message reveals the Hebrew depth behind the words tov (goodness) and chesed (mercy)—God’s abundant kindness and His unbreakable, covenant love. You’ll discover that these aren’t just theological concepts—they are the very heartbeat of God running after you, even in your darkest valleys, deepest regrets, and most rebellious moments.
From Jonah’s stormy detour to the prodigal son's homecoming, this message will stir your soul and challenge your heart to stop running and surrender to the God who never gives up on you. His mercy meets you in the barbed wire of your failures. His goodness shines even in the storms. And His love chases you all the way home—to healing, restoration, and eternity.
It’s time to stop running. It’s time to taste and see that the Lord is good.
