Jeff Brodie, Christine Birch, and Luke Crawford look back on Sacred Homecoming—four nights and three mornings where God showed up in powerful ways. From heartfelt repentance to spontaneous baptisms, it was a week filled with freedom, healing, joy, and a deep hunger for God’s presence.

Hear the stories, the moments that surprised us, and what it means to keep that fire burning—choosing posture over playbook and living with shameless persistence every day.

When life feels dark, where do you find hope?

In Psalm 27, David cries out to God in fear and uncertainty — yet finds confidence, courage, and peace. In this message, Pastor and author Mark Clark unpacks how this ancient psalm speaks directly into our modern struggles with anxiety, fear, and doubt.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is when life feels overwhelming, Psalm 27 reminds you: light always wins.

You can find hope again — even in the dark.

You’ve probably heard Psalm 23 before — at weddings, funerals, or even in songs. But what if it’s not just a comforting poem… what if it’s a roadmap for how to actually live with peace and purpose?

In this message, Pastor and author Mark Clark unpacks the deeper meaning behind “The Lord is my shepherd.”

He shows why this ancient psalm isn’t about trying harder, but about trusting deeper — about resting, letting go of control, and realizing you already have a Shepherd who knows what you need.

If life feels overwhelming, if you’re anxious, restless, or burned out… this message is for you.

What happens when people start praying, “God, would You do more?”

In this special episode, Jeff Brodie sits down with Sarah Piercy and Dan Brubacher to share the story behind Sacred Homecoming. They talk honestly about their own longing for more of God, what it means to surrender, and how God is already moving in unexpected ways.

You’ll hear about the heart behind the Sacred Homecoming gatherings, the tension between mission and renewal, and what it looks like to posture yourself for God to do something new — in you and through you. This conversation will inspire you to step forward with courage and faith.

We live in a world that tells us everything is about you — your goals, your success, your platform. But what if that’s exactly why so many of us feel anxious, restless, and burned out? In this message, Pastor Mark Clark unpacks Psalm 8 and shows how shifting your focus from yourself to God’s greatness can bring real peace and purpose. When you realize that life isn’t about control, but about awe — it changes everything.

If you’ve ever felt small, unseen, or overwhelmed, this Psalm reminds you: you were made for something bigger.

In this special episode, Sydney Jackson sits down with Lead Pastor Jeff Brodie to discuss the latest developments for Sacred Homecoming—a four-day experience calling our church to return, repent, and renew.

Jeff shares the journey that led to this moment, the inspiration from Luke 15 and Nehemiah, and how this time is about seeking God’s presence together as a community. They talk candidly about what to expect, why this isn’t just another church event, and how Sacred Homecoming is an invitation for every person who calls Connexus Church home to draw near to God in a fresh way.

Whether you’re new to Connexus or have been around for years, this conversation will inspire you to prepare your heart and lean into what God might do in this powerful week.

What kind of life are you actually building?

In a world full of noise, pressure, and endless options, it’s easy to drift—without realizing where your choices are really taking you. Psalm 1 draws a sharp line between two paths: one that leads to flourishing, and one that slowly leads to collapse.

In this message, pastor and author Mark Clark unpacks the ancient wisdom of Psalm 1 and shows how your everyday decisions are shaping the person you’re becoming. If you’ve ever felt stuck, spiritually dry, or unsure of what’s next—this could be a turning point.

This isn’t about religion. It’s about real life. And the path you’re on right now.
