What Joseph’s Story Teaches About Obeying God’s Word | Behold | Week 2
What do you do when God tells you something you don’t want to hear? Most of us want a Jesus who fixes our problems, not one who confronts our sin. But what if real peace, purpose, and power are only found when we stop editing the Bible and start trusting it? In this message, we look at Joseph, the man God trusted to raise His Son. Joseph obeyed God's Word even when it cost him his comfort, his reputation, and his future. This talk challenges all of us to stop living over God's Word and start living under it. Because obedience, even when it’s hard, always leads to freedom. When you submit to God’s Word, you don’t just find rules. You find peace, strength, identity, and promises that hold up even when everything else falls apart. You may not understand it. You may not agree with it. But you can trust the God who gave it.

God Used Joseph’s Broken Plans to Bring Jesus Into the World
What if the interruption you're fighting is actually God's invitation? Your life didn’t go as planned—now what? In this raw and real Christmas message, we step into the story of Joseph, a man whose world falls apart right before the arrival of Jesus. Through heartbreak, betrayal, and confusion, Joseph teaches us what it looks like to obey God when nothing makes sense. This message isn’t for perfect people. It’s for the tired, the lost, the disappointed, and the ones wondering, “God, is this really what You had planned?” When life breaks your plans, God is still working His. He uses the chipped, cracked, and discarded parts of our lives to write stories of redemption. And just like Joseph, we get to choose—judgment or mercy, control or trust, bitterness or grace. This isn’t about religious performance. It’s about being real. Being vulnerable. And letting Jesus meet us right where we are. Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@Flatirons

Why Remembering Changes Everything
Think you’re the one holding it all together? What if the pressure you're feeling is coming from forgetting who really is?This message digs into the brutal truth behind why so many of us—especially men—are overwhelmed, burned out, and secretly afraid of dropping the ball. When we forget what God’s done, we start living like everything depends on us. But God knew we’d forget, so He built reminders into the rhythm of life. This talk will challenge you to stop pretending you’re fine and start building habits that help you remember His faithfulness. Because when you do, the weight gets lighter, the lies lose power, and you start living free.Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@Flatirons

This Is Just the Beginning | BE FREE Podcast | Episode 6
What if your faith could spark something bigger than you? In this final episode of the Be Free podcast, the Flatirons leadership team opens up about what really happened behind the scenes. From wrinkled tablecloths to holy moments in the balcony, this is a story about grit, obedience, and stepping into something way bigger than ourselves. It’s not about hype. It’s about people choosing faith, even when the math doesn’t add up. God showed up. And so did our church. This isn’t the end. It’s the spark that sets the next chapter in motion. Over a year of planning, prayer, and sacrifice led to this. What started as a vision became a unified movement. Jim led through physical pain. Staff carried more weight than ever. Volunteers owned their part. People gave with open hands and open hearts. This is the kind of church Jesus builds. And we're just getting started.Digital Commitment Card: https://www.befreecolorado.com/join
