Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire

06.13.2026 - 01 - Achor, the Valley of Troubled Hearts Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

I’m sure you can think of a time when you’ve felt isolated from God because of your sinful behavior. Despite our best efforts, we as humans are prone to giving in to the desires of our flesh from time to time. But Pastor Jeff is here to remind us today that that separation isn’t permanent. All that God asks of us is to repent of our sin and turn back to Him. Even if we are walking through a difficult valley, God will be faithful to turn that darkness into a wellspring of hope when we return to His loving arms! 

06.12.2026 - 01 - What Genuine Revival Looks Like Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

What is something that you worship in this life besides God? Some of us worship our favorite musical artists, our favorite sports teams, or even our favorite hobbies. Honestly, anything that can be worshipped has the potential to get between us and God. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that we will end up worshipping something. We can worship God, our Heavenly Father and the Creator of the universe, or we can worship the things of this world that will inevitably turn to dust. 

06.11.2026 - 01 - What Genuine Revival Looks Like Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Psalm 19 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” God has left His fingerprints all throughout this world He created, and the wondrous things we see in this world point towards His divine purpose. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that God has revealed Himself to humanity through creation, but that alone cannot bring you into a relationship with Him. Creation can point you in the right direction, but you must choose to answer His call.

06.10.2026 - 01 - What Genuine Revival Looks Like Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Did you know that you have the tools to save someone’s life? Pastor Jeff reminds you today that the Gospel is a message of good news for all people, and it is literally a matter of life and death! It’s your responsibility to share the Good News with people who need to hear it, without worrying about the consequences you may face in this world. Have courage, because this world cannot take away your salvation or compromise your relationship with Jesus if you are obedient to Him! 

06.09.2026 - 16 - Final Exhortations Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When a home inspector is preparing a report on a home, they will check for signs of rot or water damage that warn of a huge problem! You can cover up small stains with paint, but they will only cover over the deeper problem. In this message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that sin is an evil form of rot, and it works its way into the core of your soul. The sacrifices of the Old Testament were only able to cover the stain of sin, but the blood of Jesus can fully cleanse and restore what has been corrupted by sin.

06.08.2026 - 16 - Final Exhortations Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When you rent a car, you are expected to return it in the same condition it was in when you rented it. That means you shouldn’t leave trash behind, and any scratches or dings on the body of the car may be held against you. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that you are also technically a rental! Your entire being belongs to God, and that includes your physical body! By taking care of your body and not corrupting it with unhealthy substances and habits, you bring glory to your Father in Heaven!

06.07.2026 - 04 - The Fruit of Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Before we came to know Jesus, our default human nature tended to be more selfish. Sure, we might have moments of sympathy and compassion, but our first impulses are usually to serve our own interests first. Well, Pastor Jeff is going to teach us today that when we come to know Jesus, we become filled with the same compassion that He has for us. Now we are able to share the love that Jesus first shared with us. Even the hardest and most stubborn of hearts are softened by His compassion.

06.06.2026 - 04 - The Fruit of Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In order to make pure gold, a refiner will heat impure gold, or gold ore mined from underground, to extremely high temperatures, and then use a chemical process to make those impurities float to the surface so that they can be scraped away. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that God doesn’t put you through storms and trials to punish you for your sins. Instead, that difficult process is intended to strengthen you and to produce a purer faith. The Lord wants to make you stronger!

06.05.2026 - 15 - Surrounded by Witnesses Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Throughout the Bible, God has judged people for their sinful ways. He has used floods, fire, brimstone, and earthquakes to cast down those who stand in defiance against His authority. But Pastor Jeff reminds us today that God will cast one final judgment on the Earth during the last days, and the things of this world that don’t glorify Him will be destroyed and reduced to dust. If we don’t follow the Lord, we risk getting cast aside in that final judgment, and losing out on His presence forever.

06.04.2026 - 15 - Surrounded by Witnesses Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In my adult life, I’ve learned to be grateful for the discipline I received not just from my parents, but from other leaders and mentors who were placed over me. While I may not have enjoyed being disciplined, even when I knew I had done something wrong, that discipline made me into a better person today. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that the Lord also subjects us to discipline because the constant refinement that takes place in our souls will make us into better reflections of Christ in this world.

06.03.2026 - 15 - Surrounded by Witnesses Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The next time you watch a tightrope walker, take a second to notice where their eyes are. They’re not looking down at the view below them, or at other things in their surroundings. They have their eyes set on the other side of the tightrope because that is how they maintain their focus on the task at hand. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that this life is like a very long tightrope that all of us are walking on. If we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, we won’t be distracted by the things of this world.

06.02.2026 - 14 - Heroes of the Faith Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In 1873, Horatio Spafford wrote the words to the hymn, It Is Well With My Soul, in response to a tragedy that resulted in the death of his four daughters as they journeyed across the sea to England. Even though he was a faithful man, Spafford faced great tragedy! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that your faithfulness to God doesn’t make you immune from difficult situations in this world. But your faithful attitude enables you to seek Jesus in your trial, so that you don’t get lost in the waves.

06.01.2026 - 14 - Heroes of the Faith Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Abraham Lincoln’s presidency was defined by his leadership of the Northern states during the Civil War. But five days after the Confederate generals surrendered, President Lincoln was assassinated. He didn’t get to see the states reunited, but that doesn’t mean that his leadership wasn’t worth it! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff tells you that the heroes of the faith did not live to see all of God’s promises fulfilled. But He still used them to do great things in this world for centuries to come!

05.31.2026 - 03 - The Focus in Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When we get into an emergency situation, we know that the first number to call should be 911. The longer we wait, the longer it will be before help arrives. Well, in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds us that the same thing happens when we face a storm in this life. God is ready to guide us through the storm, but we need to keep our focus on Him to make it through. The sooner we can fix our eyes on Him, the sooner we can get out of the troubled waters. God is always ready to guide us to safety.

05.30.2026 - 03 - The Focus in Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The Bible teaches us that the Holy Spirit is our constant guide and counselor. He is the one who speaks to us in the quiet and still moments of our lives. But today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that He is also there to help us in times of trouble. When we are facing a difficult storm, we are supposed to focus on what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell us. If we can drown out the noise and listen to His still, small voice, we will be able to resist fear. We won’t get lost in the turmoil and chaos of the storm.

05.29.2026 - 13 - By Faith Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

We don’t have a lot of time in this world. In the scope of the universe, our lives are little more than a flash in the pan. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Jeff encourages us to make an impact for God’s Kingdom with the time we have. If you only had one chance in your whole life to change the world, would you use it to bring glory to yourself? Or would you rather use your one shot to point people towards Jesus? The Bible teaches that if you glorify God with your actions, He will reward you in Heaven.

05.28.2026 - 13 - By Faith Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Following God is hard! He carries a high standard for His servants, and you will have to say “no” to things you used to enjoy in your past life in order to remain faithful. But in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that all of that effort is worth it. You can’t take the riches of this world with you when you leave it, so you should set your heart on things that will last forever. Enoch had faith that following after God would earn him far more in the long term than what he could gain in this world.

05.27.2026 - 13 - By Faith Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sometimes, we can think of Jesus as our magical genie in a bottle. We think that if we just fold our hands, close our eyes, and ask nicely enough, He will give us anything we want. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches us today that Jesus doesn’t grant our every wish like that! The Lord answers us when our prayers are in alignment with His Will. Something that happens when we grow closer to Jesus is that our desires begin to look more like His, and that is when our prayers of faith begin to have an effect.

05.26.2026 - 12 - Encourage One Another Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Some people think they can buy their salvation. They believe that by giving enough money away and doing enough good deeds in this world, their good works will cover up the pain and the shadow of their sin. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that sin corrupts even the most well-intentioned of people, and the greatest philanthropists of our time will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven if they don’t receive Jesus’ gift of salvation. That’s the only surefire way into God’s Kingdom!

05.25.2026 - 12 - Encourage One Another Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

There are thousands of tasks where two people working together can get much more done than one person on their own. Whether it’s teaming up to lift a heavy object or collaborating on a research project to achieve results more quickly, it’s always good to have a helping hand. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that gathering with your fellow believers in Christ helps give you that helping hand as you grow in your faith. You grow stronger faster with a friend than you do on your own! 

05.24.2026 - 02 - God’s Promise in Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The most important person at any public pool or beach is the lifeguard. While they will spend 99% of their time doing nothing but watching the waters, they are always vigilant to save someone if they start to sink below the surface of the water. Pastor Jeff wants you to recognize today that God is the ultimate lifeguard for your life! When things get difficult, and you start to look at the waves around you and start to sink, He will be right there to pull you out. He will never let you drown in the storm!

05.23.2026 - 02 - God’s Promise in Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Have you built your life on the solid foundation of Christ, or is it built on the shifting sands of the world? Pastor Jeff reminds you today that you are inevitably going to face storms in this life. Maybe your career won’t pan out in the way you planned, or you’ll face a difficult illness, or relational strife. Whatever happens, it is better to be firmly rooted in God’s Word, so that you can stay strong in the middle of the toughest situations. Jesus wants you to be able to stand tall in the midst of your storm.

05.22.2026 - 11 - Better Blood Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In Old Testament times, only the High Priest had direct access to God’s Presence! And even then, there were purification rituals required to ensure that the priest was clean enough to enter into the Holy of Holies. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there is great news for all of those covered by the blood of Jesus! Those restrictions that applied to the Jewish High Priest no longer apply to you! Because you are adopted into God’s family, you have unrestricted access to the presence of the Father. 

05.21.2026 - 11 - Better Blood Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

How often do your plans go sideways? Even when it comes to a single day, your plans can be upended by the unexpected circumstances of life. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that Jesus was aware of the plan for His life, even from the beginning of creation! God knew that the Old Testament model of animal sacrifice would not be a lasting solution to restore the relationship between man and God. So the Lord sent His only Son, Jesus, to take the weight of all of our sin onto the cross.  

05.20.2026 - 10 - The Greatness of Jesus’ Sacrifice Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Have you ever tried juggling? Well, the more balls you throw into your juggling routine, the harder the routine gets! In fact, the world record for most balls juggled at one time is eleven! Now imagine trying to juggle all Ten Commandments, much less the entire Law of Moses! It’s impossible to keep that up for very long! But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there is a different way to achieve righteousness. When you accept Jesus’ gift of salvation, you are saved not by your own works, but by grace through faith.

05.19.2026 - 10 - The Greatness of Jesus’ Sacrifice Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The Bible teaches us that when Jesus died, the great curtain separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple was torn in two. This curtain was a physical representation of the barrier that had gone up between man and God, thanks to the darkness of sin. But Pastor Jeff teaches us today that not only was Jesus able to pass through that barrier to commune with His Father, He was also able to destroy that barrier for all mankind. We have free access to the Father’s presence, thanks to Jesus!

05.18.2026 - 09 - Better Promises Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Forgiving and forgetting are usually two different things. Forgiveness is something that you have to actively do, but forgetting can take weeks, months, or even years before that transgression is wiped from your memory. Well, in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds us that the Lord chooses to forget our sin! When we accept Jesus’ gift of forgiveness, our slates are wiped clean! We no longer have to bear the guilt of what we have done. What a great burden to have lifted from our souls! 

05.17.2026 - 01 - The Purpose in Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When a bridge is being built, a team of engineers will usually perform a stress test to ensure the structure will be able to safely support the loads it is designed for. After that, the bridge is subjected to an increased load during the test, and the engineers can be assured that the bridge is safe to use. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Jesus prepared His disciples in the stormy water, so that they could be ready to minister to a demon-possessed man. That storm was the disciples’ stress test!

05.16.2026 - 01 - The Purpose in Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

A good home inspector can be your best friend. While things may look good to you at first glance, a home inspector is trained to spot problems that may seem small at the moment but can quickly escalate and become massive headaches down the line. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that the storms you face in this life are meant to highlight areas that you may need to work on. You may be facing trials now, but God will give you the wisdom you need to patch up those weak points in your heart.

05.15.2026 - 09 - Better Promises Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

It’s easy to get bored by the details in the Bible. Most of us probably don’t exactly remember the name of David’s great-great-grandfather, or how tall Noah’s Ark was. But Pastor Jeff reminds us today that those details are in Scripture for a reason. In the case of the Tabernacle, God wanted the dimensions and layout of that building to be very specific because it was meant to be a physical representation of Heaven on Earth. There is always a reason behind the small details in God’s Word!

05.14.2026 - 08 - Melchizedek and Jesus Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The difference between the Levite priests and our great High Priest is like the difference between a single match and a lighthouse. A match will provide a little light and burn out quickly. But a lighthouse can cut through the darkness and guide ships safely to shore. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to recognize that the divide between man and God is too great for us to cross on our own, but our High Priest, Jesus, has bridged that gap forever with His gift of grace!
