Karma vs. Grace: What’s the Difference? | Christ is Supreme | Tyler Padgitt | The Courageous Church (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The karma vs. grace conversation sounds harmless until we become honest about our own track record. Karma says every action carries a consequence and everyone eventually receives what they deserve. Grace says Jesus took what we deserved and offers us forgiveness, freedom, and a place in God’s family. This message examines the differences between Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and the spiritual practices increasingly mixed into popular culture. Jesus is not positive energy, an enlightened teac
The False Gospel of Communism | The State is Not Your Savior | Tyler Padgitt | The Courageous Church (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christianity and communism offer competing answers to the same questions: What is wrong with humanity, who should hold power, and where can people find freedom? Communism promises equality and provision through centralized control. Jesus offers freedom through a transformed heart and life surrendered to Him. In this message, Pastor Tyler traces the recurring pattern of fear, dependency, division, and control from Abimelech to modern political movements. He also examines why forced equality canno
The State is Not God | Christ is Supreme | Tyler Padgitt | The Courageous Church (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does freedom matter to Christians? Because freedom is ultimately about more than politics. It is about who has the right to rule our lives and who deserves our ultimate trust.

Read excerpt
Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn may describe our automatic reactions to stress, but believers have another option. We can pick faith. In this standalone message, Pastor Renée Padgitt challenges us to stop allowing pressure, fear, and dysfunction to define what is normal. Through the renewing of our minds, we can respond differently, refuse to settle for “good enough,” and contend for God's will in our lives. Faith needs something to stand on. Putting Jesus first, loving people intensely, seeking
The Cost of Worship | The Life of David | Tyler Padgitt | The Courageous Church (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Money has a way of revealing what we really trust. In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt starts with one of David’s final lessons. When David was offered everything he needed to worship God for free, he refused, saying he would not offer to God something that cost him nothing. From there, we walk through Scripture to understand the biblical idea of the tithe, why God calls His people to bring the first and best, and what giving actually does in our lives. Tithing is not simply about funding the
