   Family Strong: Parent on Purpose

   In this powerful and practical message from our Family Strong series, Pastor Ezra Stanton challenges parents to shift their focus from raising well-behaved kids to raising disciples of Jesus—sons and daughters who know their God-given identity and walk in it. This isn’t a parenting pep talk loaded with pressure or guilt. It’s a call to purpose. With honest stories, biblical truth, and real-life application, this message breaks down three essential ways to parent with purpose: 1. Dedicate your children to the Lord – More than a moment, it’s a declaration that your home is built on God’s Word. 2. Disciple your children in the Word – Faith is caught before it’s taught. Make it visible. Make it normal. Make it part of everyday life. 3. Discipline your children toward the Lord – Discipline isn’t about punishment. It’s about formation—training your child in truth with grace and consistency. You’ll also hear: Why your child’s identity must be anchored in Christ, not culture - The difference between raising rule-followers and Jesus-followers - Why your kids don’t need perfect parents—they need present, prayerful ones - How to model repentance, grace, and reconciliation in your home - How to make spiritual conversations part of your daily rhythm Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, this message will equip and encourage you to lead your home with purpose, not perfection. Because your home may be messy—but your mission is clear. Let’s raise disciples. Let’s parent on purpose.

   #FamilyStrong: Built to Last

   What do you build your life on when the storms come—not if, but when? In this special 10-year anniversary message, Pastor Ezra Stanton reflects on how Mission Church went from a Bible study in a living room to a church impacting thousands—one decision, one step of obedience, and one secure foundation at a time. As part of our Family Strong series, this message is both a celebration and a challenge: build your life on what lasts. Not on performance, image, or success—but on Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone. With personal stories (including the time he got left at church as a kid), biblical truth, and practical insight for families, Ezra reminds us: You don’t have to be perfect to be secure—you just have to be His God doesn’t just forgive you—He adopts you, anchors you, and calls you His Storms will come, but when you’re built on the Rock, you won’t be shaken The greatest gift you can give your family is a life rooted in Christ Safe isn’t a place—it’s a person Whether you're a parent trying to lead with intention, a couple navigating chaos, or someone searching for stability in a shifting world—this message is a reminder that you were made to be rooted, not rattled. And if you’re new to faith? There’s an invitation waiting. You don’t have to earn God’s love—you just have to surrender to it. This is more than a milestone message. It’s a blueprint for a faith, family, and future that lasts. Subscribe for more messages that help you live anchored, lead strong, and walk in the security that only Christ can give.

   #FamilyStrong: Real Talk on Marriage

   What do you get when you gather four couples—married anywhere from just a few months to over 50 years—and ask them the real, raw, and sometimes hilarious questions about marriage? You get this conversation. And you don’t want to miss it. As part of our Family Strong series, we hosted a live Marriage Q&A Panel to help couples of every stage grow stronger together. No filters. No perfect answers. Just wisdom, honesty, and plenty of laughter from real couples who’ve walked through it all—from the newlywed honeymoon highs to the “we might not make it” moments. In this session, we ask questions like: What’s something marriage taught you that no book or premarital class ever could? How do you stay emotionally connected when life is loud and chaotic? What’s the weirdest argument you’ve had? (Spoiler: food and furniture might be involved.) How do you fight fair—and still like each other afterward? What role does church and community really play in a healthy marriage? What does honoring each other actually look like in everyday life? Whether you’re dating, newly married, decades in, or just wanting to invest in your future, this conversation is for you. It’s funny. It’s heartfelt. It’s full of moments that will remind you that you’re not alone—and it’s worth fighting for. Your marriage doesn’t have to be perfect. But it can be strong. Subscribe for more conversations that strengthen your faith, your home, and your relationships.
