Have you ever realized - mid-faith journey - that you’ve somehow lost your sense of awe? That the beauty of God, the joy of salvation, and the wonder of grace have started to feel… a little too normal?In this episode of Sermons on the Side, we explore what it means to recapture spiritual wonder - and how a 90s youth group trip to Six Flags (yes, really) became the unlikely setting for a wake-up call. Through laughter, storytelling, and honest reflection, we unpack how God can use the most unexpected moments to shake us out of spiritual autopilot.If you’ve ever felt spiritually numb, burned out, or like you’re just going through the motions, this one’s for you. We’re talking about faith, joy, childlike awe, and how rediscovering God’s wonder might start in the most surprising places.Buckle up (literally) and ride with us - because sometimes the best sermons aren’t preached from a pulpit… they’re screamed from a roller coaster!Send us a textSermons on the Side Bible Readings Connect with us on our FACEBOOK page Connect with us on INSTAGRAM @sermons_on_the_side_podcast Check out our website HERE

15 | Process Over Outcome
What do LeBron James, Bronny’s NBA journey, and a heated moment with Stephen A. Smith have to do with your faith? More than you'd think.In a recent interview, LeBron recalled a statement he made to his son that stopped us in our tracks: "If you're in love with something, you fall in love with the process, not just the outcome." That one quote sparked a conversation that took us everywhere—from the grind of personal growth with Christ to the beauty (and difficulty) of loving others through their mess.This week, we’re talking about the process—the sanctification journey with Jesus that shapes who we’re becoming, not just where we’re going. And we’re anchoring it all in Romans 5:3-5, where suffering, endurance, character, and hope are more than just a progression—they’re a promise.If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle, questioning whether the struggle is worth it, this one’s for you.Send us a textSermons on the Side Bible Readings Connect with us on our FACEBOOK page Connect with us on INSTAGRAM @sermons_on_the_side_podcast Check out our website HERE
