Discernment is the call of this hour. The Issachar anointing is the ability to understand the times and know what to do. In a culture where truth is blurred and deception is subtle, the Church must stay anchored in Scripture, filled with the Spirit, and spiritually alert.
This SERIES is a wake-up call to move from passive Christianity to courageous, watchful, and Spirit-led living so we can stand as a clear light in the middle of darkness.
Join us live tomorrow as we begin this new series. Live stream kicks off at 11:00 CDT.

Psalm 23 reveals that God’s work in our lives goes deeper than survival or relief—He restores the soul. Restoration is not about patching what is broken or motivating us to push forward; it is about returning what was damaged to its original strength and design.
True restoration produces righteousness—not forced behavior, but the natural fruit of a healed soul. Obedience becomes sustainable, peace replaces turmoil, and joy begins to return. God does not lead us forward until He restores what was wounded, because direction without restoration leads to frustration and burnout. This message is an invitation to stop settling for survival and trust the Shepherd who restores, heals, and leads us for His name’s sake.
Join us as Dr Kimber Hanchey-Ogden takes us into a journey of restoration. 11:00am

AMORE FATI
January 25, 2026 • Dr. Kimber Hanchey-Ogden •
Series: Why Am I Still Here?
AMORE FATI — Love the Will of God What if the season that hurt the most is the very season God is using to build you? In this message, we explore the biblical truth that suffering is not wasted in the hands of God.
Through the story of Joseph and the redemptive work of the cross, we see how pain can become preparation, delay can become development, and perspective can transform impact.
Amore Fati means “love your fate,” and for believers, it becomes an invitation to trust the will of God—even when it doesn’t feel loving. This message challenges us to release bitterness, trust God in the process, and allow Him to redeem what was meant for harm into purpose. God is not punishing you. He is preparing you.
