Fearless La Podcast

The Sunday before Christmas, Pastor Jeremy unwraps a relevant message about the birth of Jesus Christ, and talks about how God gives us presents in unwelcoming packages. Have you ever prayed for growth in your life, and received a trial? Sometimes God gives a present that doesn't look nice to open, but the gift is on the other side of the wrapping paper. We are believing that this Podcast stirs up your heart to persevere, look past the wrapping, and fearlessly open the gifts God has waiting for you!

Love, the most powerful thing that any human could give or obtain. But did you know that it isn’t just a feeling, but in it’s root it is an action? This week, we break down the vital core value titled “Love is our Action” preached by Lead Pastor Jeremy Johnson. Love gives us such a great feeling, but it isn’t something we just get to receive, it’s something we have to make a conscious choice to do. Join us as we go deeper on this powerful topic and how it can bring healing into other’s lives!

In this week's episode of Fearless podcast, we hear Pastor Henry Seeley share his message titled, "This is How I Fight My Battles!" He speaks on the enemy’s tactics to destroy us, the Lord's plan to protect us and how we can overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit. Staying in God's presence activates His Spirit to move on our behalf in a deeper way.   The enemy will use anything and anyone to distract us, destroy us and get us off track. He will bring every plan from A to Z to break us when we are in the cusp of breakthrough. God is wanting to fight on our behalf, but are we willing to trust His hand to take control of our personal situations? He will lead, protect us and set Himself up as a wall between us and that which is set to destroy us. He is waiting on us to make room for Him in our lives.   Like the air, He is not visible, but always present. We cannot see Him with our eyes, but God is always at work. While the enemy is breathing down our necks, God's presence is covering us when we choose to a

When we give our lives to Jesus, we now have another relationship to cultivate and learn how to navigate. Luckily, we have the Bible that guides us through this relationship! In this week’s podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson dives into a new Family Value, “Prayer is Our Source”. To have a deep intimate relationship with God, our source HAS to be PRAYER! When we walk through trials, we have a CHOICE how to respond. We can choose to let our feelings like fear, anxiety, and depression rule us, or we can take hold of PEACE. Prayer is the only way to release the supernatural power of God in your life! If you want to see miracles happen in your lifetime, you MUST learn how to tap into this source of prayer! Whatever you’re walking through this week, we pray this podcast gives you the tools to pray like you’ve never prayed before!

On this week's episode from Fearless LA, guest speaker, Pastor Pat Schatzline shares his message titled “Restore the Priestly Kings”. There has long been a separation between the call to be a king and priest within the bible and modern day church, or has there? Pastor Pat clears up common misconceptions about what it means to be called to business or ministry and the fine line in between.   There are differences between the mantles of a king and priest. However, through the word we see several people who served as a king and priest including King David and Jesus. Could there be a closer connection? During this season, God is birthing opportunities for kingdom entrepreneurs that are also ministers of His love. He wants to give us breakthrough but we must surrender to His process.   God wants to remove any orphan mentality we carry inside of us. It is time to remove delays and obstacles from our lives. However, "until the issue of paternity is put to rest, we will always try to live with the wrong family," with

For this week's impactful message from visiting pastor, Pat Schatzline, he speaks on "Restoring the Roar. " God wants to repair our hopes, passions, dreams and identities to get us back on the path He designed for us. His original blueprint for our lives superseded anything we can ask, think or imagine.   God wants to destroy fear in every area of our lives. His heart is to restore identity and power through His presence. God allows our past to become our university for the future. He weaves together all the complexities of our lives to create an intricate story of love and hope. We cannot allow fear to continue robbing us of peace, hope and God given opportunities.  He wants to shift the atmosphere of our lives by empowering us.   We were born for such a time as this. However, to walk into the God given destiny over our lives, we have to confront fear. This is a pre-requisite for greatness. We have to become fully dependent on Him as our source. We cannot simply rely on our own gifts and talents. His presenc

In this weeks podcast we are blessed to hear from the Lady of the House, Christy Johnson. We are continuing in our series “Family Values” and this value is “Servanthood is our Position”. Servanthood is the highest honor in our walk with the Lord. You’re never going backwards when serving, you’re always moving forward, always advancing! Loving God and serving people are one in the same. So if I truly love God, I will naturally be inclined to serve others! It will not feel like a task. Even if our flesh is tired, serving with rejuvenate our spirit! If servanthood is the job title, than stewardship is the job description. If we’re stewarding our gifts and our talents, we will be using them for the Lord. Whatever you’re going through this week, take a moment to see who you can serve, not so you can be rewarded, but solely because servanthood is our position!

Every family has values that they stand by in every season. The great thing is that the same applies in God's kingdom! Pastor Jeremy is taking 10 biblical values and breaking them down to build our essential Family Values! This week we journey into the second part of “Servanthood is Our Position”.   Pastor Jeremy shared “Anything valuable that you don’t protect will be stolen.” This rings true in our position as servants in the kingdom of God. What an honor it is to take our rightful place as a servant in the kings house! “Serving removes boundaries from God and puts boundaries on everything else." Have you ever put boundaries around God? We never practice this intentionally, but we all have done this. Many times we put boundaries around God. This allows fear, lies, and anxiety run rampant yet we still expect God to meet us in our man-made boundaries.   I wonder if the boundaries we put on God in our finances, family, work, school, dreams and more is impeding the true breakthrough we could experience. If we l

In this weeks powerful message, we continue with our “Family Values”. Today we dive into the value of “Servanthood is our Position”. When you serve God, serve God with your house and all that is in it. Don’t just serve God alone, serve Him with everything you have authority over; family, finances, body, mind, time, attitude. When serving, we have to serve with passion! Serving is not a threat, it is a thrill. It is not a task or mundane, it is extraordinary and an HONOR and a privilege. Serving God is an opportunity. It’s a chance for God to LOVE you, not God NEEDING you. God doesn’t need what you have to offer because what you have to offer is already His. He wants your HEART. Wherever you’re at this week, we pray you catch on to this value, and that it seriously enriches your life! Scripture References: Matthew 16:17-18 MSG Joshua 24:15 (NIV) Psalm 100:2 (NLT) Romans 12:10-11 (NLT) Acts 17:25 NIV 2 Corinthians 9:10 (NIV)

This week, Pastor Jeremy returns with a focus on our foundational Family Values - Honor is Our Privelege. He shares on the importance of honoring others regardless of outward appearance, circumstances or behavior.    Honor is one of the few things we cannot place on ourselves. It is something we have the privelege of putting on others and on God. While people may not always deserve it because of their value to God, we honor them. Many times this can be difficult. If we remember who Christ is and our encounters with Him, we will bestow honor even on the undeserving. We hold the understanding that love and honor are possible because of His work on the cross and not our human ability. The most important thing we will do after surrendering to Christ, is honoring Him. Our lives may not always look picture perfect. The way we honor Him in those moments is indicative of our true heart towards Him. We must make a habit of cultivating honor for our king, savior and maker daily; regardless of whether or not things are

As of late, we have been living In our prayers! If you haven’t heard, we got a building and we are so thrilled and expectant for what God has for this house! As we continue to learn our family values, Pastor Jeremy introduces us to “Honor Is our Privilege”. Pastor Jeremy abridged 2 Chronicles 7:1 and looked at how Solomon built God's temple with honor. They sacrificed bulls, sheep, and goats just to honor the lord in modern times this was equivalent to millions of dollars today. Insane right? Although sacrificing was the norm god was calling them to ultimately walk in obedience. “Honor is a gift that was made to clothe each other in” in that same way we were meant to honor one another, we were also meant to honor God to a higher with regard. Pastor Jeremy gives us a look at how we can do that with God. This week, How will you honor God? Will it be with your time? Will It be with your Finances? Will it be with your relationships? What does that look like for you? “   Scripture References:  2 Chronicles 7 1-16

We are continuing to dive into our Family Values as a church. In this week's incredible message from our Lead Pastor, Jeremy Johnson, we lean into the value “People Are Our Passion”. At Fearless, we truly believe in family. We cherish the importance of being deeply and truly rooted in the God's house and into one another as family. Through trials, storms, valleys and mountains; we understand that we were not created to be isolated! No man is an island. If we want the fullness of God, we cannot do this life alone. The Lord wants us to commit to family. It is time to begin investing into the body of Christ. We know it brings Jesus joy when we establish our loyalty not only to Him, but also His church. We must give to one another; whether it be our love, time, or physical resources. You can give without loving, but you can not love without giving! Our commitment to love Jesus is a commitment to love His bride; even when we have been hurt in the past.   Wherever you are in life, we are believing for you to find y

This week, Pastor Jeremy is back with another one of our core Family Values - Family is Our Commitment. He shares  on the importance of community and covenant.      There are differences between religion and Jesus. Many believe actions speak louder than words, but the Lord is looking for the intentions behind our actions. The things we do should not reflect dead religion only practiced once a week. We carry Jesus in our hearts, and into everything we do, daily. Pleasing Him should be our primary motivation. It will lead us to the right doors, places and people.   We must "hold values that keep us steady through the waves of life." One of Jesus’ clearest values was family. He left heaven to "rescue an orphaned humanity and to restore us to relationship with the Father and each other". Time and time again, Jesus is seen choosing community over religious opinions. He desires for us to value people and relationships with the same measure and urgency.   The first church was not only devoted to knowing the Lord and

This week, we get to experience an incredible compilation of messages on one of our core Family Values: Jesus is Our Pursuit. Pastor's David Turner, Dalisha Munton and Rich Munton shared complementary messages on pursuing Jesus, our first love and the depth of his love for us. Most people are busy pursuing happiness but Jesus has set His heart on pursuing us. While "happiness is as fleeting as the wind, never delivering on its promises", Jesus is always faithful and has promised to abide with us. His relentless pursuit gives us perspective on the true meaning of happiness.  In all our endeavors, we must be mindful to set our affections on Him. Stoke the fire and abide in Him as He abides in us. When we have done all that we can do, pursuing Christ and waiting on His promises, we must continue to stand firm. Satisfaction can only be found through Him. Seeing how Jesus continues to pursue us should quicken us to prioritize pursuing Him. Let's listen in on this week's stirring message. Jeremiah 1:5 Hebrews 12:2

In this week's episode, Family Values - Jesus is Our Pursuit, we learn about God's blueprint for our lives. Pastor Jeremy shares on the importance of seeking God's face and how it impacts the fulfillment of our destiny.   God desires to build something incredible with our lives. During the seasons of construction, it may seem like there isn't really a plan. However, God has a blueprint for each of our lives. We have to trust the promise that He desires to prosper us to give us a hope and a future.   Many times in seeking His hand, we miss His face. We forget that anything other than Him will never be enough to satisfy our hearts. He wants to show us what it truly means to live so we can have the abundant life He promised. We must get back to the basics of abiding in Him. Scripture References: Jeremiah 29:11-13 Philippians 3:7-12 NIV Revelation 2:4 NLT Philippians 3:7-12 NIV Matthew 16:24-26 NLT

In this weeks sermon, our lead Pastor Jeremy Johnson dives deeper into the value of “Worship is our weapon,” and gets us to look at the other ways in which worship is present and valuable in our lives.   At Fearless LA, we’ve set out to follow our values as set by our leaders and really make sure our Fearless family understands what those are before we can walk into our promise. Just like the first church, we needed to set out what we stand for before we can truly move past the surface level interactions of religion and move into relationship with God and with others.   Last week, we learned about worship as our promotion and how it is the highest honor we have to lead worship on Earth as it is in Heaven. This week, we look at how worship dismantles division. Pastor Jeremy uses an instrument to illustrate the uniqueness of each string’s sound, that separately is recognized as pure sound, still important, still valuable. But when these sounds come together, they create beautiful harmonies. Just as music comes

Guess what ?! You’ve been promoted ! To what you may ask ? It may sound crazy but you are now the worship leader of heaven itself ! In this weeks Podcast, our Lead Pastor , Jeremy Johnson, takes a closer look on worship.   As he brings us deeper on this mind blowing topic of worship, we find out our new position and promotion is to be a worshiper. Before the enemy, Lucifer, fell from heaven; he was actually a worship leader himself. As pride and self promotion came, he was booted out of heaven. This left the position of lead worshippers of heaven open.   God took us, beings made of dirt, something so low to be seated at the right hand of God. All this to show that He can use anything to worship Him. He made us as intricate vessels able to lead the worship of heaven, right here from earth.

One of strongest weapons we have is our worship, it calls on the power of God when we are in our darkest moments. Worship is so important that this week Pastor Christy gave us a different perspective on it, getting us to dig deeper and understand how much value it holds in our lives. Have you ever worshipped when everything seemed to be going wrong? How hard was it to lift your hands in the middle of the night? Can you still praise God even when he hasn’t answered yet? Sometimes we have to learn to worship God through the “I don’t want to right now” or in the “I don’t see how this is going to change” and fight for a hallelujah when we haven’t seen the promise come to pass yet. Imagine that one more praise, that one more worship being the one that leads to the breakthrough. At FearlessLA we worship in the midnight, beyond understanding, fearlessly, trusting that God is faithful because we know what he’s done before and can do it again. The articulation of our words in praise to God delights HIS heart, when we

In this week’s podcast, we are continuing to dive deeper into one of our core values, “Worship is Our Weapon”. Pastor Jeremy Johnson breaks down the difference between our praise to God and our worship to God. Praise is free; it’s easy to praise because it means we have something to thank Him for after a victory. Worship is a sacrifice; it is honoring God for who He is, not what He can or will do for us. We believe that in any situation we’re walking through, we can stop and give God all of the honor through our worship! Scripture References: Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) 2 Corinthians 3:17  

A special message from our friend Jurgen Matthesius from C3 San Diego was with us for Pastor Jermey's 40th Birthday celebration. Pastor Jurgen shares about a powerful message on being a Rainmaker, and how we are challenged to become rainmakers in a draught. Understanding that water is one of the most valuable things to sacrifice while in a desert. God is sending us to be representatives of authenticity of Jesus Christ in our cities.  Scriptures Reference:  1 Kings 18:1-47 NKJV
