The Lyons-Muir Church Podcast

Faith is easy to talk about when we already know how the story ends. But what does faith look like when we are still somewhere in the middle—when prayers remain unanswered, the path ahead is unclear, and we don't know what comes next? In Hebrews 11, we meet people who trusted God through radically different outcomes: some experienced extraordinary victories, while others died still waiting for what God had promised. Yet Scripture calls them all faithful. As we conclude Help My Unbelief, we discover that enduring faith isn't about having all the answers or knowing how our story will end. It's about running the race before us and keeping our eyes on Jesus—the One who initiates and perfects our faith.

Does having questions mean our faith is weak? In John 20:24–29, Thomas refuses to pretend he believes something he has not yet experienced. Rather than rejecting him, Jesus meets Thomas in the middle of his questions and invites him toward trust. This week, we discover that honest faith isn't the absence of doubt or uncertainty—it's the willingness to bring our questions to Jesus and remain open to where he might lead us.

What happens when you believe in God but still struggle to believe God? In Mark 9:14–29, a desperate father comes to Jesus carrying something many of us know well: faith and unbelief at the same time. His simple prayer “I believe; help my unbelief” reveals that genuine faith isn’t about pretending to be strong or manufacturing enough belief to get God to act. Faith is dependence on the One who is stronger than we are. In Week 3 of Help My Unbelief, we discover that we can bring Jesus the faith we actually have, trust His strength in our weakness, and learn why prayer is what dependence sounds like.

What happens to our faith when God doesn’t do what we expected Him to do? Sometimes our greatest struggles with belief aren’t caused by God’s absence, but by the distance between who we expected God to be and who God reveals Himself to be. In Part 2 of Help My Unbelief, we explore what happens when our expectations collide with God’s purposes—and how disappointment can become an invitation to move beyond the God we imagined and learn to trust the God who is.

What do you do when God doesn't seem to be following the plan you were certain He had for your life? In the opening message of our Help My Unbelief series, we look at the surprising story of John the Baptist—a man of remarkable faith who still found himself asking Jesus, "Are you the one we've been waiting for?" Through Matthew 11:2–6, we discover that honest questions are not the enemy of faith. Instead, Jesus invites us to bring our doubts, disappointments, and unmet expectations to Him. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of uncertainty, this message offers hope that faith isn't about having all the answers—it's about trusting the One who does.

In the final message of our Fail Forward series, we discover that the greatest evidence of God's grace isn't just that He forgives us—it’s that He transforms the way we treat one another. Drawing from Ephesians 4:1–3, this message explores what it means to live as people who have been changed by grace. Humility, patience, forgiveness, and unity are not signs of weakness but the marks of a life being shaped by Christ. Whether you've experienced failure yourself or struggled to extend grace to others, this message reminds us that the journey of faith isn't about perfection—it's about becoming more like Jesus together.

Everyone fails. Some failures are public. Others are hidden. But all of us know what it feels like to fall short, carry regret, or wonder if we've gone too far for God to use us again.
In Week 3 of our Fail Forward series, we walk alongside Peter through one of the darkest moments of his life—from confidently promising his loyalty to denying Jesus three times, and ultimately discovering the restoring grace of Christ. Through Luke 22 and John 21, we see that failure is not the end of the story. Jesus was praying for Peter before he ever fell, restoring him after he repented, and calling him back into His mission.
Failure may be part of your story, but it does not have to define your future. In Christ, our brokenness becomes a place of transformation, and our greatest failures can become the very places where God's grace is most clearly displayed.

Have you ever wondered if your mistakes, failures, or brokenness have made you unusable? In Jeremiah 18:1–6, God invites the prophet into a potter's workshop to reveal a powerful truth: when the clay is marred, the Potter doesn't throw it away—He reshapes it.
In this message, we explore how God meets us in our brokenness, patiently forming us into the people He created us to be. Failure is not your identity. In the hands of the Master Potter, your story is still being written.
Join us as we discover the hope of God's restoring grace and the promise that no life surrendered to Him is ever beyond redemption.

Failure has a way of convincing us that our past defines our future. We carry guilt, shame, regret, and broken habits as though they still own us. But the gospel tells a different story.
In the opening message of our Fail Forward series, we explore Romans 6:12–18 and discover that through Jesus Christ, sin is no longer our master. We are not simply forgiven—we have been given a new identity, a new allegiance, and a new freedom to live differently.
Join us as we examine what it means to stop fighting for victory and begin living from the victory Christ has already won. No matter where you've been or how many times you've fallen, God invites you to move forward—not because you've become perfect, but because you belong to a new Master.

This week, we conclude our Anchored series with Jesus’ invitation to trust in Matthew 6:25-34. In a world marked by uncertainty, anxiety, and the pressure to control tomorrow, Jesus offers a radically different way of living. Rather than simply tell us to “stop worrying,” he points us to the faithful heart of our heavenly Father. Together we’ll explore why worry reveals what we trust most, how the gospel frees us from the burden of carrying tomorrow on our own, and what it means to seek God’s Kingdom first. When our hope, confidence, and identity are anchored in Christ, our future can be anchored in trust.
