Recalibrate Your Hunger - James Aladiran - Why You Don’t Feel Like Praying
Most of us want to pray more. We just don’t feel like it. Prayer feels dry, worship feels hard, and the hunger for God we used to have has gone quiet. In “Recalibrate Your Hunger,” James Aladiran makes the case that our appetite has been feeding on everything except God. He tells the story of finding his toddler drinking from the toilet, and what it taught him about a thirsty generation. He explains why we’re called believers, not feelers, why prayer is epic when you see it from heaven’s view,…
Why You Can Sit in Church for Years and Still Not Be Free - Pastor Mark Ivey - Save The Lost Part #09
You can love the Lord, come to church for years, and still be quietly stuck on something you can’t seem to get free from.

God Isn’t Finished Writing Your Story - Barbara Potter - Save The Lost Part #05
Most of us are reading one page and assuming we know how the book ends. Barbara Potter has been part of Christ Alive Church since before there was a church — 25 years. On Sunday she told the story of how she got here: the move she didn’t understand, the years of waiting, going back to school at 40 to learn to type, a cancer diagnosis in the middle of it, and a phone message that changed everything. The point wasn’t her story. It was that God is writing yours the same way — one page at a…
