The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast

Have you ever felt like you’re just one wrong step away from everything falling apart?

In this Derby Sunday message, Pastor Jason Barnett shares from Psalm 121, a song written for people on the road, not people who have it all figured out. It’s a reminder that God is not just waiting for you at the destination… He is watching every step along the way.

If life feels uncertain, if you don’t feel steady, and if you can’t clearly see what’s ahead—this message is for you.

Bottom Line: You may feel unsteady, but you are being kept.

🎧 This message was recorded outdoors during our Derby Sunday service, so you may need to adjust your volume at times.

What happens when everything is broken and no one steps in to fix it?
In this message from Isaiah 59:15–20, Pastor Jason Barnett explores a world where truth has collapsed, justice has failed, and humanity is unable to repair what’s gone wrong. But instead of leaving things as they are, God does something unexpected—He steps in Himself.
This sermon connects ancient Scripture to real life today, addressing the brokenness we see in the world, in our relationships, and within our own hearts. It also points clearly to Jesus as the Redeemer who enters into our mess and brings lasting hope.

Is following Jesus really free, or are there hidden expectations?
In Acts 15, the early church faced a critical question: Is faith in Jesus enough, or do we need to add more? In this message, Pastor Jason Barnett explores how easily we add "fine print" to faith, and how the gospel calls us back to something simpler and freer.
If you've ever felt like you had to measure up, fit in, or carry extra weight in your walk with God, this message is for you.
Grace is enough. Jesus is enough. Lay down what God does not require.

Have you ever missed something that was right in front of you?

In Luke 24, two travelers walk alongside the risen Jesus—and don’t recognize Him. Not because He isn’t there, but because He doesn’t match their expectations.

In this message, Pastor Nicole Barnett explores how our assumptions about God can actually blind us to His presence. From childhood expectations to deeply ingrained traditions, we often look for God in specific ways—and miss Him when He moves differently.

What if God is already at work in your life… and you just don’t recognize Him yet?

What if the thing you’ve already called “over”… isn’t?

In this Resurrection Sunday message from Matthew 28:1–10, Pastor Jason Barnett explores one of the greatest paradoxes of the Christian faith: the tomb that was meant to silence Jesus became the place of His greatest victory.

The women came expecting death. Grief. Finality.
But God had already moved.

This episode unpacks what it means that Jesus is not just risen then, but alive now—and how that truth changes everything about your story today. If you’ve ever felt stuck, defeated, or like something in your life is beyond hope, this message is for you.

Because if Jesus lives…
then death doesn’t win,
your past doesn’t define you,
and your story isn’t over.

🎧 Listen now and discover how the resurrection isn’t just something to believe—it’s something to step into.
