Life can leave us with wounds, fears, broken relationships, and destructive patterns that steal the freedom God intended for us. In this series, Taking Back What the Enemy Stole, we’ll walk through the hope of the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit to bring healing, restoration, and victory.

Each week explores how Jesus helps us replace fear with faith, break free from generational sin, release bitterness through forgiveness, and live with strength, courage, and love in our families and marriages. From learning to walk in the Spirit to reclaiming our identity in Christ, this series is a call to freedom—reminding us that Jesus has already won the victory and invites us to live in it today.

Fix You

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt discusses how our lives are like trees bearing fruit that others experience, but fear often drives the unhealthy behaviors and sins that produce bitter fruit. Looking at Genesis 2–3, he examines how Adam and Eve’s fear-driven choices led to shame and broken relationships. The solution isn’t trying to fix ourselves or others—it’s allowing Jesus to transform our root system. When fear is replaced with faith, new fruit begins to grow, but this requires surrendering daily and dying to old ways as we follow Him.
