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 167: The Road To The Cross Part 3: Don't Miss Your Moment

Impact Church — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0700

You can be in the right place, hearing the right message, and still miss what God is doing in your life. Many people experience moments where God is moving, speaking, and calling—but they don’t recognize it until it’s gone. This message shows why that happens and how Scripture reveals the key to not missing your moment with God. If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure if God is working, this sermon will help you see clearly and respond before it’s too late.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how people can be close to Jesus but still miss Him completely, and what it takes to truly recognize God when it matters most.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why you can experience God and still miss His purpose
How focusing on blessings instead of Jesus leads to confusion
Why emotional faith without roots doesn’t last under pressure
How to recognize when God is moving in difficult seasons
What causes people to miss life-changing spiritual moments

This isn’t just about Palm Sunday—it’s about right now. God may be moving in your life in ways you don’t expect. The question is: will you recognize Him, or will you miss your moment?

Episode 166: The Road To The Cross Part 2: Buried Alive

Impact Church — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0700

If you keep falling back into the same sins, habits, or struggles, you’re not alone—but there is a way out. Many people try to follow Jesus without fully letting go of their old life, which is why the cycle never breaks. The Bible teaches that real freedom doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from dying to the old you. This message explains why lasting change requires surrender, not just belief.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches what it truly means to follow Jesus by putting your old life to death and stepping into a completely new identity in Christ.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why you keep going back to the same sin cycles
Why believing in Jesus isn’t the same as surrendering to Him
How your old identity keeps sabotaging your spiritual growth
What water baptism really means (and why it matters)
How to finally break free by fully letting your old self die

You don’t need a better version of yourself—you need a new life. The moment you stop negotiating with God is the moment everything begins to change. What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for is on the other side of letting go completely?

Dr. Myron Golden masterfully shows how God's first words to humanity—be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion—are more than a blessing. They are a commission.

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.

Episode 137: Psalm 23 Sermon Collection: From Valley To Victory! | Pastor Travis Hearn | Impact Church

Impact Church — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0700

What if your darkest valley is actually the birthplace of your greatest victory?

In Part 5 of our powerful journey through Psalm 23, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a soul-stirring message that takes us deep into one of the most battlefield-ready verses in the Bible: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me…” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV).

Drawing from personal stories and biblical depth, Pastor Travis brings to life the raw reality of valley seasons—places of heartbreak, loss, fear, and uncertainty—and reveals how God’s presence, provision, preparation, and protection are most alive in those very moments. You’ll walk through the ancient terrain of Wadi Qelt, the literal Valley of the Shadow of Death, and discover that valleys aren’t destinations—they’re passageways.

This isn’t just a sermon. It’s a declaration for every weary soul:
You’re not stuck. You’re not alone. You’re being shaped for victory.

From David slaying giants in the Valley of Elah, to dry bones rising in Ezekiel’s vision, to Jesus calling Himself the Light that shatters shadows—this message will help you see that your valley is not the end. It's the beginning of your breakthrough.

Stop cursing your valley. Start claiming your destiny.

You are just passing through... and victory is waiting on the other side.

Episode 136: Psalm 23 Collection: I’m So Fragile, But He’s So Faithful | Pastor Travis Hearn | Impact Church

Impact Church — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0700

We’ve all wandered. Sometimes it’s loud rebellion, other times it’s quiet distraction—but whether it’s chasing pleasure, running from pain, or drifting in disappointment, we find ourselves far from the heart of God. In this powerful message from Psalm 23:3, Pastor Travis Hearn reminds us that no matter how far we’ve gone, God’s mercy will outrun our mistakes, His love will pierce the darkness, and His faithfulness will never fail.

Through the stories of Adam and Eve, David, Jonah, Peter, and even the prodigal son, we see the same truth—God never gives up on His people. You are never too far gone. You’re just one choice away from turning around and stepping into restoration, freedom, and purpose.

If you’ve been lost in the wilderness, weighed down by shame, or convinced you’re beyond hope, this is your “come to your senses” moment. Your comeback is not just about your victory—it’s about God’s glory. And when His name is on your life, your story becomes living proof of His power.

It’s time to rise up. It’s time to come home. Because even when we are fragile, He is so, so faithful.

Episode 129: Every Miracle Has A Midnight

Impact Church — Sat, 31 May 2025 21:00:00 -0700

Midnight. That sacred, silent moment when one day ends and another begins—but everything still looks the same.

Maybe that’s where you are right now. In a midnight season. When the prayers feel unanswered, the promises look delayed, and the silence of heaven feels deafening. But what if your midnight isn’t your end… it’s the setup for your miracle?

In this raw, faith-stirring message, Pastor Travis Hearn unpacks the truth that Every Miracle Has a Midnight. Drawing from the powerful midnight stories of Paul and Silas, Ruth, the Passover, and even Jesus in the tomb, Pastor Travis reminds us that God does His best work in the dark. Midnight is not the absence of movement—it’s the hidden hour of preparation. It’s the waiting room. The weight room. The battlefield of faith and hope.

Episode 126: Tasty Little Lies

Impact Church — Sat, 26 Apr 2025 21:00:00 -0700

It looks sweet going down... but it’s destructive once it sinks in. In Tasty Little Lies, Pastor Travis Hearn takes you on a raw, eye-opening journey through the hidden danger of gossip — the "choice morsels" we crave, but that rot the soul from the inside out.
Gossip is spiritual food poisoning. It’s a slow leak in the tire of your friendships, your team, and your church—and left unchecked, it leaves you stranded and broken. When we gossip, we aren’t just talking — we’re partnering with hell. This isn't just a sermon. It's a rescue mission for your soul — and it starts with one decision: Put the tasty little lies down... or be devoured by them.

In this message, Pastor Travis Hearn unpacks James 3 and the incredible power of our words—how they can bring life or destruction, reflect the state of our hearts, and reveal our spiritual maturity. If you've ever struggled with negative speech, gossip, or criticism, this message offers hope, wisdom, and practical steps to speak with grace, encouragement, and truth. Discover how to align your words with your faith and why what comes out of your mouth matters more than you think.

Episode 117: Get In The Game

Impact Church — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 22:00:00 -0700

In Get in the Game, Pastor Travis of Impact Church delivers a rallying cry that ignites hope and purpose. Through vivid stories of devastation and redemption—from standing amid the ashes of wildfire-stricken communities to witnessing the life-changing power of serving others—he paints a cinematic picture of what it means to step off the sidelines and into the action of God's work. Drawing inspiration from Isaiah 43:2 and the story of the Good Samaritan, Pastor Travis calls us to develop a heart that aches for the broken and to become the hands and feet of Jesus in a world desperately in need of healing. This is more than a sermon; it's an invitation to embrace a life of service, to be the answer to someone's prayers, and to witness the miraculous as we live out our faith. With passion and purpose, Get in the Game dares you to dream bigger, serve boldly, and experience the thrill of making an eternal impact.
