On the Other Side of Endurance Part I | Pastor Touré Roberts
In Matthew 24, Jesus paints a sobering picture of the “beginning of sorrows” — wars, earthquakes, and trials. At first glance, it’s a hard word. But, as Pastor Touré Roberts shares, within this challenging passage is a powerful truth: There is victory in everything God is involved in.
This is not a season to shrink back — it’s a season to endure. Endurance is not punishment, it’s preparation. It’s the conditioning that equips you for purpose.
Being who we are created to be in this moment means we have to shift. And as purpose arises, our lives shake under the weight of its disruptive power.
Are you feeling increased pressure, facing unexpected battles, and wondering why life is shaking?
Let this uplifting word help you see your season through God’s eyes and step into the victory that’s already yours.

125. Don't Bury Me Yet - Dr. Oscar WIlliams
01:17:19||Season 1, Ep. 125A needle alone can push through fabric, but it leaves nothing behind. Thread holds things together, but it can’t pass through on its own. Together, they create stitching. Dr. Oscar Williams takes us to Acts 9 and Tabitha, a disciple who was anointed to stitch. She made garments and cared for widows when no one else was looking. Her life was a quiet but powerful testimony of what it means to follow Christ. When Tabitha died, the town mourned, but they didn’t bury her. They sent for Peter. And what they showed him was the evidence of her faithful work. This message reminds us that God is in the stitching. The hidden work, the faithful years, the unseen labor. What God brings together, no one should separate. Your work is not in vain. Someone is still wearing the fruit of your labor.

124. Walk It Out Wednesday: Down to Nothing - Pastoral Panel
01:43:42||Season 1, Ep. 124What do you do when following God tests your faith and growing closer to Him seems to create distance in your relationships? This Walk It Out Wednesday takes us to Jesus’ final moments on the cross, where He’s hung between two thieves who witness His crucifixion from different perspectives. One sees only Jesus’ suffering; the other recognizes Him as the King, even though He was physically down to nothing. Being a witness for Christ isn’t just about what we say when life is going well. It's keeping our eyes on Jesus even when our faith is challenged. When we're down to nothing, we can trust that He is still at work and that our circumstances don’t have the final word.

123. Down to Nothing - Sarah Jakes Roberts
01:15:31||Season 1, Ep. 123What do you do when life leaves you feeling like you have nothing left — when suffering clouds your perspective and it's hard to see beyond what you're going through? In this message, “Down to Nothing,” Sarah Jakes Roberts takes us to Luke 23, where Jesus hangs on the cross between two criminals. Through this encounter, we're reminded that suffering reveals our character and that there’s a promise of glory after the pain. When life gets difficult, it’s easy to become so consumed with surviving that we forget how God has shown up for us in the past. This message will challenge you to retrace your steps and consider God's faithfulness over the years. You may be down to nothing. That’s OK. Arm yourself with the history of how God has worked in your life and run into the arms of the Savior.

122. Walk It Out Wednesday: The Master, The Men, and The Moment - Pastoral Panel
01:39:03||Season 1, Ep. 122Your praise changes when you know what you’re praising God for. In this Walk It Out Wednesday, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Sabrina Ellis, Dr. Oscar Williams, and Dr. Val challenge us to move past borrowed faith and to study the Word of God for ourselves. Drawing from Acts 15:13-18, they unpack the early church’s conflict over how people are saved, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit falls on those who have a heart to receive Him. They close by discussing David, who longed to build a dwelling place for God’s presence, and reminding us that today, God’s presence can dwell within us.

121. The Master, the Men, and the Moment - Bishop T.D. Jakes
01:11:47||Season 1, Ep. 121The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed. Bishop T.D. Jakes calls us to move beyond casual Bible reading into true study. We often read Eastern scripture through Western lenses, and we learn much of what we know secondhand. God’s people are perishing for lack of knowledge. So, we must labor in the Word, wrestle with the text, and study the Hebrew and Greek. Bishop Jakes contrasts King Saul and King David. Saul was ready to rule without God. David refused the position without the presence of God. He brought the ark back to Zion, and he brought the glory back with praise. That praise was a sound that broke traditions. In Acts 15, James explains that a new order is coming, rooted in David’s tabernacle. It welcomes Gentiles and makes room for every nation. This message reveals three truths: the Master who chooses glory over tradition, the men who came from every nation, and the moment we are in right now. It’s time to lock arms, unify, and refuse to be distracted. Message: “The Master, The Men, and The Moment” Scripture: Acts 15:13-18 (NKJV) Speaker: Bishop T.D.

120. Conflicts, Contradictions, and Christology - Bishop T.D. Jakes
01:24:25||Season 1, Ep. 120What keeps you going when life gets complicated and you’re facing contradictions you don’t understand? During a special Wednesday night service that kicked off The Next Move: Emerging Leaders Summit, Bishop T.D. Jakes teaches on “Conflicts, Contradictions and Christology” and brings our focus back to Jesus. Through Hebrews 12, discover how to endure difficult seasons when life feels ordinary, answers seem far away, and your faith is tested. Using the Ark of the Covenant as a picture of God’s presence and the finished work of Christ, Bishop reminds us that what we see in the moment doesn’t tell the whole story. When life doesn’t make sense, where do you fix your focus? Consider Jesus. Message: “Conflicts, Contradictions, and Christology” Speaker: Bishop T.D.

119. Grace in the Dark - Dexter Jakes
01:21:28||Season 1, Ep. 119How do you trust God’s hand when you can’t see it at work? How do you know He’s with you when you’ve prayed and prayed, but your pain remains? In Genesis 15, Abram believed God’s promise, yet he still asked, “How may I know?" Drawing from this encounter, Dexter Jakes reveals a powerful truth: Your pain is not proof that your faith has failed. Even in the dark, God is still moving. His silence doesn’t mean His absence. He keeps His Word — even when we cannot see how He will. You may not know how or when things will change, but you can bring your unanswered questions, your trembling heart, and the hope you’re afraid to feel again to God. He is faithful in the dark.

118. Walk It Out Wednesday: Get A Grip - Pastoral Panel
01:34:10||Season 1, Ep. 118God wants a relationship with you, not more work from you. Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams unpack 2 Kings 20:1-11 and discuss the moment Isaiah instructed Hezekiah to get his house in order. The panel emphasizes that God is after our hearts, not our performance —Hezekiah’s turning point only came when he turned his heart toward God. Whether we whine or worship, seasons of chaos reveal what is inside us. This Walk It Out Wednesday challenges us to acknowledge our wall and take command of our focus, family finances, calling, time, and energy. Questions Discussed: • How do you deal with the trauma of what you’ve heard? • Is God revealing Himself when we lose our grip on things? • What if I don’t feel worthy of what God has brought me through? • How should I approach voting?

117. Get a Grip - Touré Roberts
01:09:41||Season 1, Ep. 117You’re not random. You’re God’s strategy. In this message, Touré Roberts reveals the difference between being seasonal-minded and being age-minded. God works in ages. We live in seasons. But these times demand a greater degree of intentionality. We can’t afford to move casually or reactively. The directive is simple: Set your house in order. Take command over everything in your sphere — your focus, family, finances, calling, time, and energy. Understanding life’s brevity should awaken us to move with intentionality. Strategies are in place to rob us of our focus, and we can’t build what God called us to build if our lives are commanded by everything else. This message isn’t about you managing all the “things” better. It’s about God’s mission taking priority in your life. It’s about knowing that you’re not moving randomly. You’re moving strategically, according to His design.
