Your love has changed my life.

The songs we sing are more than lyrics. They are powerful declarations of truth over our lives.
“God, You are my everything.”

But what does it look like to declare that truth even when life doesn’t feel that way?
This past Sunday, as we continued our Unshakable Faith series through the book of Daniel, we were reminded of the importance of having anchors for our faith. Our secret place with the Lord is where we are built up, strengthened, and prepared to stand firm when life throws unexpected circumstances our way.

When we cultivate a life rooted in His presence and His Word, we don’t have to crumble when the storms come. We can stand confidently in who God is and what He says about us, regardless of what is happening around us. Because the truth is, we can easily lose sight of who we are when we aren’t rooted in what God says is true.

A classmate’s comment about our character, a parent’s words spoken in anger, or the sting of rejection can leave us feeling shaken, questioning our worth and what God has spoken over our lives.

That’s why our time with the Lord matters so deeply. We don’t run to Him only when the storms come. We build our lives with Him before they ever arrive. To declare, “God, You are my everything,” even in the seasons when we don’t feel it, is to anchor our hearts in the unchanging truth of who He is.

Wherever you find yourself in your walk with the Lord today, make time to meet with Him in the secret place. Be honest about what you’re experiencing, what you’re feeling, and what you’re struggling to understand. Open His Word, make room to listen, and allow His truth to shape your heart.

He is alive and active, and He desires to be part of the everyday rhythms of your life. Get to know the God we sing to and about, so that your declaration becomes more than a lyric. Let it become the unshakable foundation of your life.

God, You are my everything🤍

Last week at OCYTH, we had one of our FAVORITE nights, Debate Night!

This night is designed to help our students engage critically with their faith and think through WHY they believe what they believe.

Our leaders brought the questions, and our students brought the answers:
“What if Jesus wasn’t really God?”
“How can you believe in something you can’t see?”
“Why do you believe Christianity is true?”
And WOW. We were blown away.

We watched students stand strong in their faith, wrestle with hard questions, defend what they believe, and have meaningful conversations with their fellow students and leaders. These are conversations they WILL encounter at school, with friends, and even within their families, and we want to help prepare them to know what they believe AND why they believe it.

We are so proud of our students and so amazed at what God is doing in them. 🙌

And because one night wasn’t enough…
DEBATE NIGHT: PART TWO is THIS WEDNESDAY at 6:30pm🔥✨

Come ready to think, ask questions, and defend your faith. We’ll see you in the room! 👊

“He has given me a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” — Isaiah 61:3

Worship is not something we do simply to check a box as Christians. It is our response to a God who is worthy and deserving of our time, our attention, and our affection.
Weariness will come. Heaviness will come. Jesus never promised us a life without trouble. In fact, He told us, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

So when weariness or heaviness comes, look to Jesus.

Seek Him. Sit with Him. Put on your worship music and sing to Him. Let your praise become a place where your heart remembers who He is and who you are because of Him. It’s easy to try to drown out what we’re feeling through doom-scrolling, entertainment, busyness, friends, or even mentors. And while God absolutely gives us people to walk alongside us, none of those things can do what His presence can do.

Because sometimes what you need isn’t another distraction from what you’re facing. You need an encounter with the One who has already overcome it.

So when heaviness comes, put on the garment of praise.
Turn your eyes back to Jesus.
Worship Him, not because everything feels okay, but because He is still worthy.
And let Him renew you.
