Family, if you live long enough, you learn something: Life does not move in a straight line. It moves in cycles — emotional cycles, spiritual cycles, generational cycles, historical cycles. Solomon looked at the world and said: “Generations come and generations go… the sun rises and the sun sets… the wind blows… the streams flow… what has been will be again.” (Ecclesiastes 1:4‑9) He wasn’t being cynical. He was being honest. He was telling us that life repeats itself — and if we don’t und...

Worshipping God the Way You Are Wired Scripture Focus: 1 Chronicles 16:4–7, Psalm 73 Introducing Asaph We often think worship only happens when we sing on Sunday mornings. But true worship is much larger than a musical style or a church service. It is a lifestyle of honoring God using exactly how He built you. In the Old Testament, King David established a massive worship operation for the Ark of the Covenant. He did not just hire random volunteers. He appointed a man named Asaph as the chie...

The phrase “God won’t put more on you than you can handle” is not Scripture. It’s a comforting cliché, but it’s not a biblical promise. The Bible teaches something far more honest and far more hopeful: God meets you in the moments that exceed your strength. Most people are misquoting - 1 Corinthians 10:13 — but that verse is about temptation, not suffering. God provides a way of escape when you’re tempted.

“Your buddy needs your prayers. Your buddy needs your presence. Your buddy needs your faith. And God has placed you in their circle so His love can reach them through you.” ~kenn blanchard

A message about gratitude, witness, and the courage to live your faith in the open. “Gratitude Has a Rhythm” Some people thank God like it’s a reaction. Some thank Him like it’s a routine. But the believer is called to thank Him like it’s a lifestyle. Thanksgiving is not what you do after God blesses you — it’s how you live because He already has.

The power of Psalm 23:4 is not in the valley, not in the shadow, not in the fear — it is in the through. You are not stuck. You are not abandoned. You are not finished. You are walking through with a God who refuses to leave your side.

Psalm 71:9 — “Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.” "There is a loneliness that doesn't come because you've done anything wrong. It comes because you've lived long enough. The children have grown. Friends have moved away—or passed away. Retirement has changed your routine. The house is quieter. The phone rings less often. And somewhere along the way, a man who spent decades taking care of everyone else discovers that he is sitting alone with his thoug...

David's family reminds us that even godly people have troubled homes. Our hope is not found in having a perfect family, but in serving a perfect Savior who brings grace, healing, and redemption into broken homes. That truth is perhaps the greatest lesson from David's house: God's covenant faithfulness outlasted David's family failures. It gives hope to every parent, every spouse, every child, and every believer who has ever wondered whether God can still work through a messy family.

The Weight We Carry We all carry something—grief, anxiety, regret, fear, or burdens no one else can see. But God never intended for us to carry them alone. In this episode of Broken & Believing, Rev. Kenn Blanchard explores the powerful promise of 1 Peter 5:7: "Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you." Discover what it truly means to surrender your burdens to Christ and find peace in the God who genuinely cares for you. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 🌐 More episodes: kennspodcast.com

Count on God A Sermon from the Valley, for the Valley, by the God Who Never Leaves the Valley and a Psalm at the end. Thank you. Kenn

https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/92878792-faith-is-not-a-feeling-by-rev-kenn-blanchard A sermon for the days when emotions wobble but God remains steady Takeaway The heart of the message: Faith is strongest when it stops depending on how you feel and starts depending on who God is. Feelings shift. God doesn’t.

let me know what you think of the Psalm. Kenn

• Psalm 51:6 — “You desire truth in the inward parts.” • Mark 9:24 — “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” • Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” There’s a kind of worship that doesn’t need a microphone.

Not the “I’m blessed and highly favored” truth. I’m talking about the real truth. ...

Don’t Walk Away From the Mirror - James 1:23-24 There’s a certain kind of honesty that only shows up when you’re standing in front of a mirror. Not the mirror you check before you leave the house. I’m talking about the mirror that tells the truth. The mirror that doesn’t care about your title, your age, your résumé, or your excuses. The mirror that shows you you. James says that hearing God’s Word without doing anything about it is like looking in that mirror, seeing something wrong, and then ...
