Victory Church: Paul Daugherty

John and Arvin discuss the nuanced dynamics around connections, networking, and the not-so-subtle art of elbowing one's way onto a platform or into a position.

Pastor Paul continued his series teaching from the Book of James on how followers live with an everyday faith. The Lord desires to work mightily in and through your life, but He requires your surrender to His greater plans. Once God’s presence and power become real to you, The Only Way Forward is by stepping out in faith where He calls you.

Buckle up for this one! John and Arvin dive into all their behind the scenes thoughts about churches who get in trouble for creative mishaps and the importance of checking yourself before blasting a ministry on social media.

The sermon, Activate Your Faith, dove into the essence of faith, emphasizing the transition from a works-based mindset to understanding salvation through grace. Pastor Paul cautioned us against complacency post-salvation, urging believers to manifest their faith through actions, not just words, drawing insights from biblical narratives and personal anecdotes to illustrate the importance of a genuine, transformed life. Paul concluded with a heartfelt call to activate faith through sincere repentance, surrender to God, and a commitment to living out one's faith in daily thoughts, words, and actions.

In episode 7 of the Behind the Scenes of our Best Days Podcast, John and Arvin discuss the importance of social awareness when working behind the scenes in ministry contexts. Together, they dive into events in church history that helped create the modern church environment and what each individual can do to take ownership of their faith instead of relying on the church to grow them spiritually.

Looking at “The Man in the Mirror” is a metaphor for believers to evaluate their individual heart and habits. The life transformation you encounter testifies of God’s divine grace. With the Holy Spirit inside of us, we are called to spread His love in action and in words to those around us. Don’t allow the enemy to distract you from cleaning out the old and making room for what God wants to do. You have a purpose on the other side of obeying God’s Word that will glorify the Kingdom of God!

John and Arvin dive into the importance of boundaries as we go about stewarding God-given burdens.

The Book of James gives practical wisdom on how followers of Christ can produce long-suffering through endurance. Without tests, our spiritual development remains stagnant and weak. Although we will all face difficulties, we must hold tightly to the promises of God, persevering through trials to gain joy, patience, maturity, character, and faith. Whether you are entering or exiting a trial, the Lord holds a plan to strengthen you for the glory of His Kingdom. The reward for persevering is often an opportunity to share your testimony with someone walking through a hard time. There is purpose in your pain!

The EASTER episode! John, Dom, and Arvin dive into a tell all about the experience of making Victory's 2024 Easter Production: PROOF.

Celebrating the greatest day in history, PROOF showed the triumph of Christ’s death and resurrection. The story, creatively told through the eyes of the disciples, laid out the stages of grief experienced between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. As you walk through valleys, remember that anything can happen on a Sunday!

In this episode, Pastor John and Arvin discuss the development of "taste" as a creative person and the way people navigate increasingly unique iterations of themselves.

This weekend's word, "Snatched," set our priority back onto the Great Commission as Easter fast approaches. Pastor Paul emphasized the urgency that believers should carry to rescue the lost with Christ's redemption. We should cultivate a divine burden to minister to those around us daily. Here are ways to live "Snatched": 1. Build ourselves up with faith 2. Pray in the Holy Spirit 3. Keep ourselves in the love of God 4. Be full of mercy toward all 5. Go rescue people out of the flames

John and Arvin are back for season 7! Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty sits down with his producer Arvin Sepehr to go behind the scenes of serving a local church in the modern age. The two discuss the nuances of seeking God's best days for one's life while experiencing all the hilarious consequences along the way. In this special episode, John and Arvin go on drive and muse on mentors and relationships.

Pastor Paul shared the red flags that point to false teachers and phony faith. If we cannot stand firm on the truth of God’s Word, we will fall for everything the enemy throws our way. There is an anti-biblical agenda coming from the enemy that will try to undermine Scripture and deceive believers. Jude, the brother of Jesus, urged Christians to continue preaching the truth amid persecution from the world around them.
