What if experiencing a miracle isn't about formulas, prayers, or luck… but about posture? In Part 4 of Miracles: Then & Now, Andy Stanley challenges a common assumption about miracles: they aren't random, but they do happen where people position themselves in surrender to God's purposes. It's not about manipulating outcomes — it's about embracing trust even when it costs us something. If you've been wrestling with a big decision, wondering where God is, or hoping for something more — this message will help you reframe the conversation. Sometimes the miracle isn't what God does for you — it's what God does in you.

What do you do when the miracle doesn't come? When the healing doesn't happen, the relationship doesn't restore, or the door stays shut? If you've ever felt abandoned, overlooked, or stuck asking Why, God?, this message is for you. In Part 3 of Miracles: Then & Now, Joel Thomas shares from his own heartbreak and from the story of John the Baptist—someone Jesus Himself called the greatest man who ever lived, yet who didn't receive his miracle. If you've been holding onto hope but struggling with doubt, this message offers an honest reminder: your circumstances don't define God's love or His faithfulness. There's more going on than what you can hear and see.

You've probably seen it before—one person gets the miracle, and someone else doesn't. One story ends in celebration, the other in heartbreak. And if you're honest, it's hard not to wonder: Is God playing favourites? Is He even listening? In Part 2 of Miracles: Then & Now, Andy Stanley walks us through a raw and often overlooked tension in the Bible—why Peter lives, but Stephen dies. Why some people are healed while others are left waiting. And what it actually means to trust God when the outcome isn't what you hoped for. If you've ever questioned God's fairness, wrestled with unanswered prayer, or felt like faith was harder than it should be—this message is for you.

We all have moments when we long for a miracle—whether it's for healing, provision,‬‭ reconciliation, or just to get through another day. This message reminds us that while many of‬ us have prayed for miracles, and sometimes didn't receive them the way we hoped, our faith is‬ anchored in two foundational miracles: the creation of the universe and the resurrection of‬‭ Jesus. These remind us that God is powerful, present, and working—even when we don't see it.‬ ‭

What if work could be more than survival—or success? What if the job you don't love was about something holy? Together, we'll learn how you can bring a spiritual approach to your every day work space. Whether you're a boss or an intern, at home or in the marketplace—God wants you to see your work as sacred.

What happens when your calling leads you out of church ministry and into entrepreneurship? In this Made for Mondays bonus episode, Connexus Church Lead Pastor Jeff Brodie sits down with Justin and Sarah Piercy—former Connexus staff and now the creators behind Daddy Got Coffee. They share their powerful story of discerning God's leading in leaving full-time ministry to launch a business rooted in faith, integrity, and kingdom purpose. From faith-filled risk-taking to finding God's presence in everyday work (even roasting coffee beans!), this honest conversation is for anyone wondering how faith and vocation truly intersect. If you're trying to figure out what's next in your career—or wondering if God cares about your work—this episode will inspire and encourage you. 👉 Whether you're an entrepreneur, creative, or just feeling stuck in the daily grind, there's something here for you.

"What do you do?" It's a question we often ask to try to figure out someone's identity. But should work and identity be connected? Whether you're chasing success or dreading failure, it's easy to let your work define your worth. But that kind of pressure will break you. In part two of Made for Monday, we'll unpack how the Gospel frees you from proving yourself—and gives you a title no promotion ever could.

You weren't made for a meaningless Monday. In part one of the series, we're rewinding to the first job description in history. Why was work created, what changed, and how can it be meaningful for you again? You'll leave with a whole new reason to show up on Monday.

In this powerful message from Carey Nieuwhof, we dive deep into The Risk of Real—the challenge of showing up authentically in community where people are the problem and people are God's solution. Drawing on Scripture and lived experience, Carey explores why we often struggle with honesty, vulnerability, and real relationships, and how Jesus transforms brokenness into belonging. Carey references a music clip by Johnny Cash Hurt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI

Have you ever trusted the wrong people and ended up hurt? You're not alone. Join us as Luke Crawford unpacks what happens when community goes sideways—and why it's still worth the risk. Sharing his own story and insights from Galatians 6, Luke speaks directly to people who feel burned by past relationships, betrayed by friends, or crushed under silent shame. What if the very place you were wounded—community—is the place you could actually be healed? If you've kept people at a distance but quietly crave connection, healing, and purpose. Don't let shame, pain, or comparison keep you stuck. There's another way forward—and it starts with being real.
