This week’s FCC Talk dives into surprising and thought-provoking stories shaping the modern church. From a UK church blending sermons with wrestling to drive attendance, to T.D. Jakes' recent health scare and its implications for ministry leaders, we explore the balance between unconventional outreach and spiritual integrity. Plus, hear how members of Newsboys are addressing deconstruction in Christian music with empathy and faith. Join us as we tackle these compelling questions of faith, leadership, and creativity.

Are you living under the right influence? Dive into an inspiring message that explores the Apostle Paul’s powerful words as he faced the end of his life: “I have finished the race” (2 Timothy 4:7). This sermon challenges us to reflect on the voices shaping our decisions and equips us with three key principles to finish strong:

Disconnect from Negative Influences: Learn how to identify and avoid toxic relationships that drain your faith and character.

Connect with Positive Examples: Discover the transformative power of godly mentors and role models.

Anchor Yourself in God’s Word: Find lasting wisdom and strength through the truth of Scripture.

With vivid biblical insights and practical applications, this message will inspire you to evaluate your inner circle, embrace Christlike influence, and allow God’s Word to guide every step of your journey. Let Jesus be the greatest influence in your life, shaping you into a force for good in the world.
