Where Legacy is Formed feat. Renee Thrift | In Between
Legacy is not just something you leave; it is something you live.
In this episode, we step away from a traditional sermon for a special Mother's Day panel titled "Where Legacy Is Formed." Renee Thrift (wife of Lead Pastor Rodney Thrift) sits down with her adult children—Hannah, Aaron, and Emily—and spiritual daughter Kaitlyn to discuss the reality of passing down faith.
In this episode, you will hear:
Defining Legacy: Why legacy is more about a foundation of faith than money or property.
The "Small" Moments: The panel shares the everyday experiences—like seeing parents tithe when things were tight or pray when things were hard—that shaped them more than any "big" event.
Owning the Faith: A candid look at when faith stopped being their parents' and started being their own.
The Future of Faith: What this next generation is most intentional about passing on to their own children.
If you’ve ever wondered if your "small" daily efforts for God matter, this episode is the encouragement you need. Your everyday response to life is your family's greatest legacy.

Then & Now | In Between
The "In Between" is the season between what was and what will be, where God is actively shaping who you are becoming.
In this episode, Pastor Rodney Thrift kicks off our brand-new series, In Between, with a powerful message titled "Then and Now." Most of us hate the middle. We want to get through the transition as quickly as possible, but Pastor Rodney reminds us that formation always happens before fulfillment.
In this episode, you will discover:
The Definition of the Middle: Why the "In Between" is where your past ends and your future begins.
The Silent Work of God: Why a lack of visible movement doesn't mean a lack of divine activity.
The 13-Year Rule: How Joseph and Paul spent over a decade in preparation before stepping into their ultimate purpose.
Adapt, Grow, Become: Three practical keys to navigating your current season without running back to the past.
You aren't stuck; you are being prepared for what’s next.
Soul Tattoo: The in-between isn’t a pause in God’s plan, it’s part of it.

Living Empowered | Beyond the Veil
What we allow, we empower.
In this episode, Pastor Rodney Thrift continues our eye-opening series, Beyond the Veil, with a practical guide to Living Empowered. If you feel constantly harassed by the enemy or bogged down by spiritual heaviness, it might not be a lack of authority—it might be an open door.
In this episode, you will discover:
The Power of Surrender: Why authority actually begins with submission to God.
Closing the Doors: How unforgiveness, hidden sin, and lies act as open doors for the enemy (and how to shut them).
Confronting the Enemy: Why we are not called to ignore or fear the enemy, but to stand and resist.
The Daily Rhythm: A simple, 3-step daily habit (Morning Surrender, Midday Check, Evening Declaration) to keep you spiritually clean and bold.
You don’t fight for victory, you fight from it.
Soul Tattoo: I live empowered when I stay surrendered, close doors, and stand in authority.
