Elevation with Steven Furtick

You can love God and still feel lost. You can believe in His promises and still wonder what comes next. But your worst moments don’t have to define your future. Jesus doesn't turn away from you when you fall short; He invites you to come back, receive His grace, and keep moving forward.

John 18, verses 17-18 – Peter denies Jesus while warming by fire.

It's one thing to receive something good from God. It's another thing to learn how to hold onto it when life gets hard. The enemy’s attack doesn’t get to take away the confidence, peace, or purpose God has given you. When you're feeling overwhelmed, remember: The strength to hold on comes from knowing Who's holding on to you.

Have you been waiting a long time for something that still hasn't happened yet? This message from Pastor Stephen Chandler will remind you that God hasn’t forgotten about you, even if you haven’t seen the progress you hoped for yet.

This is a message for someone ready to give up. In Philippians, the Apostle Paul shows us what’s on the other side of pain when we persevere with Christ. And here’s the good news: You don’t have to be afraid anymore.

What if the thing you've been worrying about could become the thing you pray about? Trusting God doesn't mean you'll never feel afraid, it means you don't have to carry your fear by yourself. The next time your mind starts rehearsing everything that could go wrong, turn the worry into a prayer and remind yourself: You have a Father who knows what you need.

What do you do when you keep showing up, but nothing seems to be changing? Just because progress doesn’t look like you expected doesn’t mean it’s not happening. If you’re frustrated with where you are or focused on where you thought you’d be by now, discover how God can give you the strength to keep going, make adjustments, and trust Him with your next step.

Scripture References:
Joshua 6, verses 1-16, 20 – Israel marches around Jericho for se

Some hard things are part of growing. Others come from staying stuck in patterns God is trying to lead us out of. You may not be able to skip every difficult season, but you can stop letting fear, doubt, or disobedience keep you there longer than you need to be. When you can't skip what you're going through, praise can help you keep moving forward.

Hold on to your praise, even in your darkest seasons. Drawing from the story of Paul and Silas in prison, this message reveals how worship isn’t a reflection of our current circumstances, but a declaration of God’s unchanging faithfulness. When we choose to praise God in the middle of pain, we invite His presence into our struggle and turn our deepest trials into a testimony for others.

Angry? Pray. Confused? Pray. Doubting? Pray. Ready to give up? Pray. 

Because the prayer you're not proud of is better than the one you won't pray. God isn't asking you to clean up your emotions or find the perfect words before you come to Him. Whatever you're carrying, bring it to Him honestly today and pray anyway.

You don't have to feel ready to move forward in faith. Sometimes growth looks like grieving what was, trusting God with what's missing, and still choosing to take the next best step. If you're carrying both blessings and burdens right now, discover how God can lead you forward even when life feels mixed.

If you’ve been feeling grateful AND sad, excited AND anxious, or blessed AND overwhelmed, this message is for you.

Is it wrong to doubt God? When we face resistance, or God doesn’t come through like we’re expecting, it’s natural to wonder if we heard Him wrong. But it turns out that doubt isn’t really the problem. It’s what you do with your doubt that matters.

What is the voice in your head saying about you? When you’re wrestling with self-limiting beliefs, it’s tempting to try to impress people to prove yourself.

It's easy to let your mistakes, your performance, or others’ opinions determine how you see yourself. But your worth was never meant to be measured by what you do; it was established long before you ever had the chance to earn it.

Most of us have parts of our lives we'd rather keep hidden, even from God. The disappointment we haven't processed. The questions we haven't asked. The fears we don't want to admit. But what if the breakthrough you're praying for is on the other side of the thing you've been avoiding?

Sometimes the biggest thing keeping you stuck isn’t your situation — it’s the way you see it. The more consumed you become with your circumstances, the heavier life will feel.
