    New Wine Rewind
    Feb 24 2026
    We love to talk about new seasons, new experiences, and new periods, but what defines them? In this timely live message rewind (Season 1 Episode 22) preached by Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino at Jesus People Arts and Worship Center in Asheville, North Carolina (Pastor Tom Cash) come to insights about what God has to say to you about change - about the dangers in following every trend, news story, idea, and fad that comes along (yes, even the ones that seem good for us) and why following the crowd unto tradition can be just as problematic to keep us from our new pressings and periods as anything else.

    What is Privilege?
    Feb 10 2026
    The word "privilege" is often thrown around to the cheers of some, and the offense of others. How does it relate to - shape, impact, and create - thoughts about our spiritual lives?
