In Episode 1 of our Heaven Limited Series, we unpack what the Bible actually says about heaven, not pop culture myths, not Sunday school clouds, but the real deal. Pastor Jesse shows how Scripture paints a picture of heaven not as an escape from earth, but as God’s plan to restore it. If you've ever felt like this world doesn't fit? Like success, stuff, or survival mode just isn't cutting it? Then this conversation is for you.Subscribe to stay caught up on this series' releases: https://www.youtube.com/@FlatironsWe explore how heaven and earth were once united, how sin split them apart, and how Jesus is bringing them back together. You'll learn what “present heaven” is, what the Bible says about eternal life, and why your longing for something more might actually be your soul remembering home.

Heaven On Earth
What if the emptiness you feel isn’t because you’re doing life wrong, but because you’re expecting earth to deliver what only heaven can?We’re kicking off Heaven Week 1 by rethinking everything we thought we knew about the afterlife. Most of us don’t have time to think about heaven—we’re just trying to get through the week. But what if a right view of heaven could radically change the way we live right now? What if the soul-deep ache we carry is a sign that we were made for more than just this world?This message challenges the idea that heaven is just something to deal with when we die. Drawing from Hebrews 11, Philippians 3, and CS Lewis, we uncover how a deep hope in heaven reshapes how we parent, grieve, hustle, forgive, and live. We’re not here to escape the world—we’re here to bring heaven into it, one faithful act at a time. Because this world isn’t our home. And when we live like heaven is real, it changes everything.

The One Thing Jesus Said Matters Most
Are you loving the people in your life as well as they need you to? This past weekend, Jim Burgen challenged Flatirons with a bold call: stop playing it safe, and start loving like Jesus. Whether it’s your spouse, your kid, a coworker, or a friend—you’re being invited into a summer of intentional, no-strings-attached love. Not the kind that waits for a return or assumes “they already know,” but the kind that shows up—like Jesus did. Real love doesn’t assume; it assures. And this summer, we’re all on assignment.

When Loving Someone Means Saying No - Beautiful Boy
Have you ever wanted to save a loved one from making the wrong choice? Or maybe control a dynamic that was going differently than how you wanted it to? In today's message, Jim reviews the movie Beautiful Boy and connects it to our lives, and encourages us to change our approach to some of life's most significant challenges by relying on God to do what only he can do.

Top Gun Lessons for Real Life Battles
Are you letting your past fly your future?This week, we kicked off At The Movies with Top Gun Maverick—and it’s way more than jets and adrenaline. Jim Burgen unpacked how guilt, shame, pride, and fear keep us stuck living a small, wounded life. Maverick's struggle mirrors ours: you can have all the skills in the world and still be haunted by what you haven't surrendered. Through Jesus, we can let go of the wreckage and finally live free, forgiven, and on mission.
