Heirloom Church Podcast

We often think we're stronger than we are, but Jesus teaches us to pray from a place of dependence. In the final message of our How to Pray series, we explore what it means to ask God, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Discover how to recognize the enemy, be honest about your own weakness, and find confidence in the Savior who has already won the victory.

In this episode, guest speaker JT Sivils explores one of Jesus’ most challenging commands: forgiveness.
Through the “Fruit to Root” framework, JT shows how our outward actions are often the result of deeper beliefs and attitudes hidden beneath the surface. Looking at Matthew 6 and Matthew 18, he explains why bitterness, resentment, and the desire for revenge cannot produce the kind of forgiveness Jesus calls us to.
This message is a powerful reminder that true forgiveness is not something we manufacture through willpower. It flows from understanding the immeasurable grace we have already received from Christ. Because we have been forgiven, we are empowered to forgive others.
If you are struggling to let go of hurt, carrying offense, or longing for freedom from bitterness, this episode will encourage you to examine the roots of your heart and discover the transforming power of God’s grace.

Guest speaker Allen Walk continues our How to Pray Like Jesus series by exploring Jesus' words, "Give us this day our daily bread," and what it means to depend on God for everything we need.
Through Scripture, Allen reminds us that God has always been our faithful Provider. From the Garden of Eden to the manna in the wilderness, and ultimately to Jesus, the Bread of Life, we see that God doesn't simply meet our needs. He gives us Himself.
If you've ever struggled with worry, self-reliance, or wondering whether God will come through, this message will encourage you to trust the God who faithfully provides every day.

Ricky West continues our How to Pray series with a powerful message, "Our Opportunity with Prayer." Through Jesus' teaching in the Lord's Prayer, Ricky reminds us that prayer isn't about trying to get God on our page—it's about surrendering to His Kingdom, trusting His perspective, and experiencing the reality of His presence today. If you've ever struggled with distraction, disappointment, or the silence of God, this message offers fresh hope and an invitation to draw near to the Father.

Guest speaker Pastor Brent Warren teaches from Judges 13 and the life of Manoah, reminding us that faithful leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about knowing where to go for wisdom. A timely Father's Day message on faithfulness, prayer, and trusting God with the people and responsibilities He's entrusted to us.

This week, guest Pastor Brent Isbill continues our How to Pray series by exploring the powerful opening words of the Lord's Prayer: "Our Father." Through Jesus' example and teaching, we're reminded that prayer is not simply about bringing requests to God—it's about drawing near to a loving Father who invites us into relationship with Him. Discover how viewing God as both Father and Holy King can transform the way you approach prayer, trust His will, and find peace in His presence.

Why does it seem like some prayers are answered while others are met with silence? In the first message of our How to Pray series, we explore what Jesus taught about prayer and examine several reasons our prayers may go unanswered. More importantly, we discover the incredible access we have to our Heavenly Father through Jesus and the invitation to experience prayer as relationship, not just routine.

In the final week of our Defining Moments series, we explore the story of David and Goliath and discover how God prepares ordinary people for extraordinary moments. When faith faces giants, the question isn't how strong you are—it's who you trust. Join us as we learn to face life's greatest challenges with confidence in a faithful God.

This week in our Defining Moments series, we look at the life of Shamgar—an unlikely deliverer tucked into just two verses in the book of Judges. In a culture driven by comparison, performance, and insecurity, this message is a reminder that God isn’t asking you to be somebody else. He simply calls you to do what you can, with what you have, where you are—for His glory. Discover how God uses ordinary, surrendered people to make an extraordinary impact.

This week in Week 6 of our Defining Moments series, we walk through Ruth and discover what to do when life doesn’t go the way you planned. Through Naomi’s loss, Ruth’s faithfulness, and Boaz’s redemption, we see that God is still working in the middle of disappointment, uncertainty, and ordinary moments. Even when the plan falls apart, God is faithful to guide our next step and redeem what feels broken.
