Life comes at you fast! From the 2-mph pace of hanging out with a toddler to the 30-mph alpine descents of the Tour de France, life is full of sudden shifts, steep climbs, and unexpected curves.
In this segment of Pastor’s Corner on Heartfelt Mornings, Pastor Tom sits down with co-hosts Burch and Lisa to share fresh stories from his recent trip overseas—including catching the Tour de France live—and connects them to the ancient "road songs" found in the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120–134).
Join Pastor Tom, Burch, and Lisa as they explore what happens when your best-laid plans crash out, how to find spiritual safety nets when life gets complicated, and why staying in the "peloton" (community) is essential for surviving the steepest parts of the journey.
🎙️ About Heartfelt Mornings & Pastor’s Corner: Join Burch, Lisa, and area pastors on Heartfelt Radio for warm, grounded conversations, practical biblical teaching, and real talk to encourage your daily walk. Wednesdays 7am | http://www.heartfeltradio.org

It’s just a storm. You’ll get through it. What can I learn from this season?" — Annette Ward

Welcome to Week 3 of our worship series, Ride Different! 🚴♂️✨
In professional cycling, the domestique is the rider who willingly takes the wind, carries the water, and serves the team so everyone makes it across the finish line. Today, we sit down with parishioner and author Phil Holloway to talk about a lifetime of service—from Congress and FEMA to 55 years in the choir—and his brand-new 365-day devotional book, Wonderful Words of Wisdom: 365 Days of Inspiration. Plus, as school kicks back into gear, we pause to pray over our students, families, teachers, and school workers for the year ahead!

What happens when you execute every strategy, do everything right, and still hit an unexpected patch of loose gravel on the road of life?
In Part 2 of the "Riding Different" series, we take a look at how to navigate the unpredictable turns of leadership, family, and faith. Moving between the 30-mph intensity of the Tour de France and a quiet 2-mph walk with a 20-month-old granddaughter in a French park, this message unpacks how Kingdom leaders handle crashes, build lasting legacy, and adopt the servant mindset of a domestique.

Has the stress of daily life stolen your smile? Welcome to the Grand Finale of Book Club! 📖🎈
As the summer wraps up, cultural burnout is real. Between hectic schedules, running on the daily hamster wheel, and endless distractions, it is incredibly easy to feel entirely drained. Today, for our final installment of Book Club we are breaking out of that exhaustion.
In this finale, a celebrated musical artist and pastor delivers a life-giving message on reclaiming the joy you’ve been missing. There is a massive difference between temporary happiness and supernatural, biblical joy. Happiness depends on your circumstances going perfectly, but joy is the unshakeable confidence that God is good even when life is hard. If you are ready to trade your worry for worship and step into true purpose, this is the message you've been waiting for.
