Backbone Wk. 6 | Usual Ordinary Faith (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the most courageous thing you ever do looks like just another ordinary Tuesday? In the final week of our Backbone series, Pastor Cory takes us into Daniel 6, the most famous chapter in the book of Daniel. It turns out the lions' den isn't a story about a new act of heroism. It's about an old man, in his 80s, who refused to change his habits, even when those habits could cost him his life. When the law was signed, Daniel went home and prayed "as usual," windows open, just as he had always
Backbone Wk. 5 | Same Sin, Different Decade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Belshazzar had a front-row seat to his predecessor's downfall — pride, arrogance, judgment — and reached for the same sin anyway. He wasn't ignorant. He knew all this. In this message from Daniel 5, Pastor Cory Ball unpacks the story of the writing on the wall (Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin) and asks a harder question than "do we know better?" — it's "will we still reach for it anyway?" We'll look at what real backbone costs, why Daniel refused the king's reward before he'd even spoken, and why the
Backbone Wk. 4 | Say It Scared (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Daniel and his friends had already stood firm three times — over food, over prayer, over a fiery furnace. But this week, backbone means something different: telling the truth to the one person who could end his life with a single word. In this message from Daniel 4, we watch Daniel deliver hard news to King Nebuchadnezzar — and we ask a harder question of ourselves: who's the person in YOUR life you've been avoiding an honest conversation with? Your kid? Your boss? Your parent? Your spouse? We t
Backbone Wk. 3 | Bow or Burn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A 90-foot gold statue. A command to bow. And three men who won't. Weeks one and two of Backbone: A Study in Daniel both ended well — nobody lost their life, everybody went home safe. This week, that pattern breaks. King Nebuchadnezzar orders his entire empire to bow to a golden statue of himself or be thrown into a blazing furnace. And this time, there's no guarantee it ends okay. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse — not because they know how it'll end, but because they've decided who they a
Backbone Wk. 2 | Pray First, Never Panic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A king loses his mind. An empire starts executing its smartest people. And Daniel — who had nothing to do with any of it — has a death squad walking toward his door. This week in our series Backbone: A Study in Daniel, we watch the same quiet resolve that said no to a plate of royal food in chapter 1 get tested under something far heavier: a national panic with zero margin for error. Nebuchadnezzar demands his advisors tell him a dream he refuses to describe — and when they can't, he orders ever
