In this episode of Chisel and Flame, Pastor JT takes us into the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus models a strength the world doesn’t understand—meekness. Throughout Matthew 26:36–46, we discover that biblical meekness isn’t passive or weak—it’s the holy grit to surrender when we could choose control. If you’ve ever mistaken control for courage or silence for strength, this message will challenge and encourage you. True strength is born on your knees.

In this episode of Chisel and Flame, Pastor JT continues our series “Blessed are the Barefoot” with a message entitled “Holy Heartbreak.” Drawing from John 11:20-44, we explore how Jesus doesn’t avoid places of grief—He enters them. He meets us in the middle of our sorrow, not to leave us weeping, but to call us into resurrection life. Whether you’re mourning a loss, wrestling with disappointment, or walking through a valley of silence, this message reminds us: our brokenness is not the barrier to blessing—it’s the very place where comfort from the Comforter begins.

In this episode, we continue through our current series entitled Blessed Are the Barefoot. We're reminded of the soul-cry of David in Psalm 63—a raw and desperate worship song from the wilderness. Titled Holy Hunger, this message explores what it means to yearn for God with a thirst that nothing else can quench. You’ll hear how true worship begins not with comfort, but with craving.

When your soul is dry, when the world fails to satisfy, and when you’re walking barefoot through spiritual barrenness—this psalm reminds us: God fully satisfies the soul that refuses to be filled with anything less than Himself.
