God Protects His Children (Psalm 27). Bring an umbrella.
Clean Hearts for Christ (Mark 7). Bring a bar of soap.
Jesus Feeds the 5,000 (Matthew 14). Bring a bag of fish-shaped crackers.
Follow God's Guidance (Matthew 2). Bring a road map.
Let's Trade! (Hebrews 1). Bring a handful of trading cards.
Every message ends with a short prayer the kids repeat after you, and each one has a video of it being taught. The Advent and Christmas messages are marked, so you're set for December too.

This Can Begin Today!
This Can Begin Today!
Have you ever realized that what you’re longing for right now could actually begin right here, right now?
I was recently driving home from another day of filming, and this became very clear to me.
I had been thinking a lot about how I could develop BACKSTAGE (my small-group concept) even further. I have lots of ideas. But every one of them requires more effort, more work, and the help of other people.
That day, I noticed that the messages we had just recorded were stronger than usual, and they had come together without much additional help or effort from anyone else. They had been formed IN ME…simply because I had been spending more time with God and in His Word.
So I realized that I had been so busy thinking about what I could change that I almost missed what God wanted to change IN ME first.
Do you ever catch yourself doing the same thing?
Do you believe that what you’re longing for—a new job, a relationship, peace in your family, more stable finances—can only happen through extra effort or even the help of other people?
God often starts where we are right now: IN your family, IN your current job, IN your relationships.
The place doesn’t always have to change.
Sometimes God simply changes US.
I realized: BACKSTAGE doesn’t need a major change. I simply need more of Jesus.
Because the longer I spend time with Him, the fresher what flows out of my life becomes!
God doesn’t need new circumstances in order to do something NEW.
He simply needs a heart that encounters Him anew. 💙
And when He tells you, “I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:19, NIV), that doesn’t always mean it will happen somewhere else or through even more effort.
Sometimes it simply begins ➡️ IN YOU!
You don’t need help from the outside today, because the One who wants to help you already lives IN YOU!
You are a miracle!

Have your plans been derailed? Have your dreams experienced a detour? Has your life taken an unforeseen turn?
It’s been said that God works in mysterious ways, which is absolutely true. And how His sovereignty (His supreme power and authority) interplays with human choices is equally laced with mystery.
In his letter to the Romans, Paul acknowledges the unexpected hardships, suffering, and corruption the believers were dealing with at that time. But he also encourages them with these words:
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
Romans 8:28 NLT
Maybe you lost a loved one.
Maybe someone you respect disappointed you.
Maybe someone in your family received a hard diagnosis.
Maybe your job title shifted, which has shaken your identity.
Maybe reality doesn't match what you see on social media.
Maybe you made a decision you regret.
Maybe you’ve found yourself questioning God.
Maybe someone you love walked away.
Maybe you put your whole heart into something or someone, but it didn’t go how you hoped.
Though it might seem hard to believe, God can use it all.
The good and the bad.
The polished and the messy.
The planned and the unsettled.
The clear and the misunderstood.
The encouraging and the hurtful.
God can work everything together for good. This doesn't mean that everything will BE good, or that everything will work out the way we want or expect. After all, we live in a broken, messy world.
But—we can rest in the confident assurance that the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives, interceding, advocating, celebrating, and grieving with us. And one day, we will see the complete picture He is painting in our lives. Nothing we go through is wasted.
And how does He do it? That’s where we have to lean into the mystery of God, because we cannot fully comprehend an infinite God.
If you think back on your own life, there were probably things that didn’t make sense and maybe even seemed impossible, but now you see how God somehow worked everything out.
God can use it all—including the things you can’t comprehend—in ways you can’t begin to fathom. Even when you can’t see Him at work in your life. Even when hope seems lost. Even when things don’t seem to be going your way. Even long after you’re gone.
In everything, you can trust in Him.
