Daybreak Audio Vox

It's World Impact Sunday at Daybreak - the one Sunday we stop and look at everywhere God is using this church, from a bag of food packed a few miles from here to a well going in on the other side of the world. 

Then Pastor Geoff pulls out a wall of Oreos and uses it to kick off a brand new series: Obsession. Starting in Genesis 25, we meet a man named Jacob whose whole story is a warning about what happens when we chase...

Aubrie Kimbrough has spent the last year on the road with Claim Your Campus, calling a generation of middle and high schoolers to show up and pray for their schools. But her own story with prayer didn't start with a movement - it started in sixth grade, alone in a hallway, praying by herself while nobody showed up. This week in Mix Tape, Aubrie shares what she's learned about running the race of faith with endurance: how to hydrate...

This week in Mix Tape, Taylor Layle shares her story of living with a foot deformity, years of surgery, and the decision to have both legs amputated. She walks through a sudden storm at summer camp that turned her to Psalm 77 right when she needed it, and how she's found community and purpose since - from a Clemson wheelchair tennis team to training as a Paralympic snowboarder.

Wes and Claudia Dupin planted Daybreak before it existed - and 32 years later, they're back on stage to share their story. In this week's Mix Tape message, Founding Pastor Wes Dupin and his wife Claudia walk through their history together, from meeting in high school to three decades on the road in ministry, including Claudia's own brush with a stroke and heart attack that changed how they live. Wes closes with a story from a recen...

Clint Dupin grew up at Daybreak, the youngest son of founding pastor Wes Dupin. Clint and his wife planted and now lead Eastown Church in the San Francisco Bay Area. He brings a challenging message on what it means to move from consumer to contributor.

Some coincidences are really God's fingerprints. This week we kick off Mix Tape with guest speaker Dr. Hank Williams - an evangelist and recently retired pastor whose family story is woven into Daybreak's own. After decades of faithful ministry around the world, Dr. Hank opens Nehemiah 3 to show how families rebuild the walls that matter most: prayer, protection, integrity, and devotion.

This week Bill Johnson closes our I Want Greener Grass series with a message on honest living - not as a behavior to manage, but as a reflection of the character of God. Honesty, holiness, and humility come together as we're reminded that we were designed to represent Him in every part of life - at church, at work, at home, and online.

We're surrounded by voices - social media, friends, family, our own inner monologue, the noise of a world that never stops talking. But not every voice is telling us the truth. In week five of I Want Greener Grass, Pastor Geoff walks through the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 and shows how each character carries a different voice: the voice of lies, empty noise, anger, and fear - and how the voice of God brings truth and...

In a divided and weary world, it's easy to pull back, fence off our lives, and only look after our own.

In this installment of the I Want Greener Grass series, Daybreak welcomes longtime friend, international speaker, and prolific author Reverend Dr. Kevin Harney. Serving as the teaching pastor at Shoreline Community Church in Monterey, California, and Family Church in Zeeland, Michigan, Kevin is also the president and visio...

Pastor Geoff sits down with Phil Joel - longtime Newsboys bassist and vocalist, founder of Zealand, and author of "Redwoods and Whales" - for stories and a conversation about why God is drawn to humility: a ring hidden in underground tunnels, the story behind "End of the World," and the song Phil wrote for the Trail of Death documentary. Then Geoff brings week three of I Want Greener Grass: Humble Thinking.

Every family has a story, and so does every nation. In week 2 of "I Want Greener Grass," Scott Bos unpacks one of the most practical commands in Scripture: honor your father and mother. Drawing from Proverbs and the life of George Washington, Scott shows how strong families build strong futures, and how honoring our parents, even imperfect ones, opens the door to blessing for us and the generations that follow.

"I Want Green...

Some people spend their whole lives wishing for a different field. Proverbs says: tend the one you're in. 

In this first message of our new series I Want Greener Grass, Pastor Bill Johnson takes us back to the garden - where work wasn't a curse, but a calling. Drawing from Proverbs and Genesis, Bill unpacks what it looks like to bring diligence, purpose, and even worship to the work God has placed in front of you.

Case File 6: Detective's Log

Some questions don't just stop you cold - they shake the whole case wide open. In the final chapter of Plot Twist, Pastor Geoff Eckart takes us to the darkest crime scene in history: the cross. And there, in his greatest moment of suffering, Jesus utters something nobody saw coming - "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

It doesn't add up. Not on the surface. But dig deeper and the e...

Case File 5: Detective's Log

The temple was supposed to be sacred ground. But somebody had turned it into a racket.

In week five of Plot Twist, Pastor Geoff Eckart pulls back the curtain on one of the most explosive moments in Scripture - a scene so raw, so unexpected, it show...

Case File 4: Detective's Log
The city was hungry, and the mob was looking for a payoff. In Week 4 of our Plot Twist series, Pastor Geoff Eckart cracks open John Chapter 6 to examine the ultimate sting operation: the feeding of the 5,000. On paper, the setup was flawless. Jesus delivers a massive, miraculous payout on a sunny hillside, and the marks immediately try to corner Him. They wanted a patsy they could force onto a throne...

Case File 3: Detective's Log
The rain was coming down hard on the neon-lit streets, washing away the surface dirt but leaving the grit behind. Most people like their Jesus sanitized - a polite, passive character who never pushes back, living like a clean caricature who wouldn't dare rock the boat. But if you take a magnifying glass to the case files, the truth gets heavy. In Case File 3 of our Plot Twist investigation, Pastor Ge...

It was a cold, rainy morning - hovering in the 50s and coming down steady. Not befitting the desired feel of a Memorial Day weekend when most of West Michigan packs up and heads to their lakeside cottages to kick off the summer beach season. Instead of a sun-drenched pier, the pavement was slick under a sheet of grey fog. I sat back in the dim light, cracked my knuckles, and sipped on a cold Peppermint Lime Espresso Tonic from Dayb...

The city was quiet, but the air was thick with the kind of suspense that rolls in slow with bad choices and cold coffee. That’s when the operation began. Pastor Rachel Reigard laid out the cold, hard facts in Case File No. 1 of our new sermon series, Plot Twist. Performing a meticulous, in-depth investigation into Mark 1.40-45, Pastor Rachel cracks open the tragic truth of ancient leprosy - a social death sentence that left m...

Danielle Freed closes out the UP! series by exploring the transformative necessity of prayer. Coinciding with Mother’s Day and following the National Day of Prayer, this message challenges us to move beyond "polite" requests into a lifestyle of bold, expectant "umbrella faith."
