Elevation with Steven Furtick

Some hard things are part of growing. Others come from staying stuck in patterns God is trying to lead us out of. You may not be able to skip every difficult season, but you can stop letting fear, doubt, or disobedience keep you there longer than you need to be. When you can't skip what you're going through, praise can help you keep moving forward.

Don't take your cues from culture. In "Be Careful What You Copy," Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reveals that, when we copy culture, we're missing out on the unique plans God has for us.

Hold on to your praise, even in your darkest seasons. Drawing from the story of Paul and Silas in prison, this message reveals how worship isn’t a reflection of our current circumstances, but a declaration of God’s unchanging faithfulness. When we choose to praise God in the middle of pain, we invite His presence into our struggle and turn our deepest trials into a testimony for others.

It's okay to have doubts. In "You Didn't Lose It," Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reveals that the presence of doubt doesn't mean the absence of faith.

Angry? Pray. Confused? Pray. Doubting? Pray. Ready to give up? Pray.
Because the prayer you're not proud of is better than the one you won't pray. God isn't asking you to clean up your emotions or find the perfect words before you come to Him. Whatever you're carrying, bring it to Him honestly today and pray anyway.
