“The reason this podcast is now called Awake comes straight from Scripture—‘Awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’ This is a call to wake up spiritually, to move past comfort, past tradition, and into a faith that transforms lives. If you’re tired of surface-level Christianity, you’re in the right place.
Faith was never meant to be lived asleep. This is a wake-up call—to truth, to love, to real discipleship. If you’re ready to open your eyes and walk it out, welcome to Awake.”

The Anchor
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hebrews 6:19
Years ago a man was out on the water in a small boat.
The wind began to pick up…
The sky started turning dark…
And before long the waves began beating against the boats in the harbor.
Boat after boat was drifting.
Some were being pushed by the wind…
Others were being tossed by the waves.
But there was one boat that wasn’t moving.
It wasn’t drifting.
It wasn’t being carried away by the storm.
Finally another man shouted across the water and asked the other man,
“Why is it that your boat isn’t moving like all the others?”
The man hollered back just a few simple words:
“Because the anchor holds.”
And can I tell you this morning…
Life has a way of sending storms.
The wind will blow…
The waves will rise…
And everything around you may start drifting…
But the question is—what are you anchored to?
1. The Storm is Inevitable
- “The wind began to pick up… the waves began to beat…”
- You don’t have to go looking for storms—they’ll find you.
- Trouble in your home…
- Trials in your faith…
- Pressure in your mind…
John 16:33 – “In the world ye shall have tribulation…”
👉 The problem isn’t the storm…
👉 The problem is when you face it without an anchor.
Preach it:
Everybody’s in the same storm—but not everybody has the same stability.
