Fortitude: Rhythms of Hope- Pst. Chisom Olusanya
Hope is a powerful thing. It gives weary hearts the strength to endure, lifts our eyes beyond today's circumstances, and reminds us that God is still at work, even when we cannot yet see the full picture.

Fortitude: Brewing Communi-tea- Pst. Kenneth Olusanya
Our backgrounds and experience largely influence our idea of what doing life with people looks like. As believers, we are saved into God’s family and not as lone rangers. Therefore, we must learn to look to the word of God and his idea of community, above our perceptions and experiences.

Audacity Conference 2026: The Goodness of God
What if God had to stand trial? In this session, the goodness of God is thoroughly questioned and investigated on charges made by skeptics and even believers against Him. Case by case, we uncover how much of what we think we know about God is really a misreading of His Word, and walk away with a fuller, truer picture of who He is. Listen and be informed, then share this with someone who's ever wrestled with difficult questions about God's character.

Audacity Conference 2026: The Reason for Reason
Is faith the enemy of logic or its foundation? In this session, Pastor Ken digs into the ancient question of how belief, reason, and science fit together, and why "just have faith" was never meant to mean "stop thinking." Drawing on Scripture, logic, and hard evidence, this is a sermon for the skeptic in all of us for the one who wants to believe and wants to know why what we believe matters. Listen now, then share this with someone who's been wrestling with these questions.

Fortitude: You Are Not Enough- Pst. Kenneth Olusanya
Many believers are almost breaking under the weight of life's pressures because they're trying to carry it all by themselves. But God never designed us to do life alone. In this episode, Pastor Kenneth contrasts the world’s message with the truth of God’s Word, reminding us that true strength is received, not manufactured. Learn how abiding in Christ, depending on His grace, and labouring with that grace leads to a life of lasting fortitude. Listen and be strengthened.

Joy isn’t something you strive to create, it’s an inheritance you receive in God’s presence. Like oil, it doesn’t fade under pressure; it remains.

Asking For A Friend: Handheld; Handling Grief and Loss- Pst Kenneth Olusanya
Few experiences are as painful as losing someone you love. How do you trust God in the midst of loss? How do you comfort someone who is grieving? What do you say, and how do you simply be present when words seem inadequate? As the body of Christ, we are called to be people of love, comfort, and compassion. We cannot shy away from walking with people through their pain. Listen and learn how to approach grief with wisdom, sensitivity, and Christlike care.

Asking For A Friend: Orthodoxy- Pst. Kenneth Olusanya
In this episode, we vigorously refute the narrative that Christianity is a “white man’s religion”. We also answer other questions like: What characterized the early church? Was the canon inspired by God or chosen by men? Why do creeds matter? Do church councils carry authority? And what place should church history have in the life of a believer today?

Asking For A Friend: AI and the Church- Pst. Kenneth Olusanya
With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has come a host of questions and concerns that the Church cannot ignore. What are the limits of AI in the Church? Is it morally sound to use AI for Bible study or to create ministry content? Should we embrace AI, be wary of it, or reject it altogether?

Asking For A Friend: Parenting; Rod or Refuge?- Pst. Kenneth Olusanya
What does healthy discipline actually look like in parenting? Some of us grew up being punished severely, and it left wounds that lasted long after childhood. The conversation is not simply whether children should be disciplined, but what discipline should look like in a way that mirrors the love of God. How do parents raise children with boundaries and accountability whilst also being a place of safety and refuge? How do we avoid passing down unhealthy patterns and unresolved trauma to our children? Listen and learn as we navigate these important conversations together.
