Exodus - Week 1: Choosing Life in the Shadow of Empire

September 6, 2026 · 47 min

We don't know Pharaoh's name in Exodus 1 — but we know the names of Shiphrah and Puah, the two midwives who defied a genocidal order and chose life. Kicking off a brand-new series through the book of Exodus, Tara explores what it looks like to live with heroic, quiet faith in compromised territory: fearing God over fearing power, and choosing to bring life into every room instead of death. It's the origin story of the Bible's most-referenced event — the one that shapes Israel's identity, echoes through Jesus' own story, and still asks each of us where our loyalties really lie.

Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 12: I Am Joseph
August 30, 2026 · 50 min
"I am Joseph." Years after being sold into slavery, Joseph stands face-to-face with the brothers who betrayed him — and has to decide what to do with all that hurt. In this series finale of Promises, Blessings & Dreams, Tara walks through Genesis 44-45 and Joseph's tearful reveal to his brothers, tracing the courage it takes to stop guarding old wounds and surrender to forgiveness. It's a message about the histories every relationship carries, the cost of choosing a new way over an old grudge, and a God who takes even our worst betrayals and redeems them for good.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 11: From the Pit to the Palace
August 23, 2026 · 53 min
Joseph goes from prisoner to Prince of Egypt — but this isn't just a rags-to-riches story. In this Week 11 message from Promises, Blessings & Dreams, Tara walks through Genesis 40-41 and Pharaoh placing his signet ring on Joseph's hand, drawing a straight line back to Genesis 1 and the royal identity God breathed into all of humanity. It's a message about carrying God's Spirit and authority into every corner of ordinary life — at work, in conversations, wherever you go — as a son or daughter of the King.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 10: The God Who Meets Us in the Pit
August 16, 2026 · 48 min
Joseph's brothers throw him into an empty cistern and walk away — but the pit isn't the end of his story. In this Week 10 message from Promises, Blessings & Dreams, Tara opens Genesis 37 and the beginning of Joseph's dreams, exploring what happens when God stirs something up in us that the people around us aren't ready for. It's a message about patience, waiting on promises that take decades to unfold, and the God who meets us at the bottom of the pit long before He pulls us out of it.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 9: Wrestling With God
August 9, 2026 · 44 min
Jacob wrestles a stranger all night by the river Jabbok — and walks away limping, renamed, and changed. In this Week 9 message from Promises, Blessings & Dreams, we look at Genesis 32 and the moment Jacob finally stops running and starts clinging. It's a story about the battles we keep fighting that God has already won, and what it costs to let go of control long enough to be transformed.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 8
August 2, 2026 · 51 min
Jacob thinks he's the trickster — until he meets his match in his uncle Laban. In this Week 8 message from Promises, Blessings & Dreams, Tara walks through Genesis 29's tangled story of Jacob, Laban, and sisters Leah and Rachel, uncovering a startling layer easy to miss in translation: what it means that God's blessing gets twisted, traded, and fought over instead of shared. It's an honest look at jealousy, power, and broken relationships — and the invitation to ask where those same patterns still show up in us
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 7
July 26, 2026 · 52 min
Jacob is on the run, sleeping on a rock, when God shows up with a ladder reaching to heaven. In this Week 7 message from Promises, Blessings & Dreams, Tara walks through Genesis 28 and Jacob's dream at Bethel to unpack a truth easy to miss: relationship with God is covenant, not transaction. Drawing from her own story of finding God in her lowest moments, Tara explores what it means to stop bargaining with "if" and "then," and to receive a promise that was never conditional on us getting it together first.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 6
July 19, 2026 · 41 min
What's your lawn mower — the thing you just can't stop trying to control? In this Week 6 message from Promises, Blessings & Dreams, John digs into the story of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 25 and asks why someone already promised a blessing would still feel the need to steal it. With honesty about his own struggle to control what was never his to hold, John unpacks three lies that drive our need for control — and the freedom of realizing we don't have to grasp for what God already wants to give.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 5
July 12, 2026 · 51 min
Isaac needs a wife, Abraham needs a plan, and one nameless servant needs God to show up. In this Week 5 message from Promises, Blessings & Dreams, Tara walks through Genesis 24 — the unlikely, almost comic love story of Isaac and Rebekah — to ask a bigger question: what is God doing in your everyday life right now, and are you actually looking for it? It's a story about a God who cares deeply about ordinary details, and an invitation to pray for more awareness of His movement in yours.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 4
July 2, 2026 · 51 min
Abraham has a knife in his hand and his son bound on the altar — and yet, somehow, faith instead of fear. In this week's message of Promises, Blessings & Dreams, Pastor Tara walks through Genesis 22, the binding of Isaac, and asks the question underneath it all: what does it cost us when we disobey God, and what grace has carried us to today? This is the story of a man who finally stopped scheming and started trusting — and of a God who always provides.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 2
July 2, 2026 · 38 min
Sarah heard God's promise and laughed — not out of joy, but out of 24 years of disappointment. In this message from Genesis 18 and 21, Aaron unpacks the story of Abraham and Sarah's decades-long wait for a son, and what it teaches us about the difference between God's delays and God's absence. Whether you're waiting on healing, restoration, or a dream that feels dead and buried, this episode is a reminder that doubt doesn't disqualify you from the promise — and that God is still faithful in the waiting.
Promises, Blessings & Dreams - Week 1
July 2, 2026 · 56 min
Blessed to be a blessing — that's the offer God makes Abraham in Genesis 12. But when a famine hits and fear takes over, Abraham hands his wife Sarah over to Pharaoh's household to save his own skin, turning promised blessing into harm. Week 1 of our new series digs into a question we all know too well: what happens when we're offered something good and grab for control instead of trusting the One who's offering it?
