Pastor Travis Hearn opened with a heartfelt message of love and encouragement for the Impact Church family, acknowledging the deep struggles many face, including addiction, illness, loss, betrayal, and shame. He posed the central question of the sermon: 'What are you going to do about it?' He emphasized that while God is our help, we also have a role to play in our spiritual battles. Pastor Travis shared a personal story from his youth about learning to 'suck it up' and persevere through pain, framing it as a spiritual principle of depending on God's strength in our weakness. The sermon provided three clear responses to life's difficulties. First, we must leave the past in the past, adopting a 'next play' mentality and straining toward what is ahead, as instructed in Philippians 3. Second, we must keep pressing on and never look back, using the sobering example of Lot's wife, who became a pillar of salt for longing for her old life. Third, we are to make our misery our ministry, using our pain and trials as a testimony to comfort others and as a weapon against the enemy, just as David used Goliath's own sword. The message concluded with a powerful call to crucify our old sinful nature, live alive in Christ, and use every attack from the enemy as a trophy of God's triumph.
