Noah Herrin celebrates Way Church's 'Only God' offering and then teaches on how to stay spiritually strong. He gives five practical disciplines: choose an inspiring location (gather with church), pursue accountable community, set compelling spiritual goals, cultivate desperation that leads to dependence on God, and celebrate what God has done. Herrin uses Scripture (Jacob wrestling with God, Romans 12:11, Matthew 18:15, Philippians 3:14, Psalm 31) and personal stories to show how these disciplines produce lasting faith. He closes by inviting the church to pray and be dependent on God as they seek a new venue and steward their generosity.
“Your location impacts you more than you realize ... awe always inspires action - it refills our faith tank.” · Noah Herrin

It's Only Crazy Until It Happens - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 8 (the centurion story) as part of the "Only God" series, arguing that God wants the credit for things in our lives and often works miraculously to restore creation to its intended state. He explains that Jesus' miracles are restorative - pointing back to Genesis (creation) and forward to the redeemed future - and that faith grows by looking at Jesus, thinking like Jesus, and then acting.
