                <description>&lt;p&gt;Pastor Mark shared a powerful message on what it means to suit up and stand firm in the middle of spiritual warfare. In this week’s episode of There is More, we unpack the importance of trust, surrender, community, and the Word of God—and how each one prepares us to stand firm.
 
This conversation is a reminder that we’re not fighting for victory, but from a place of victory through Christ..&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Building a strong family is one of the most important and challenging things we can do. The good news is we don&apos;t have to do it alone. This week, Pastors Mark and Jill Pettus share personal parenting stories and remind us why learning from other parents matters more than we think.
 
Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or both, God has more for the relationships and family He’s placed in your life.&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Building a strong family is one of the most important and challenging things we can do. The good news is we don&apos;t have to do it alone. This week, Pastors Mark and Jill Pettus share personal parenting stories and remind us why learning from other parents matters more than we think.
 
Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or both, God has more for the relationships and family He’s placed in your life.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Pastor Chris Hodges and Sam Domingue join the conversation to unpack this week’s message, Heaven Walks In, and what it means to live as an ambassador for Christ.
	
We all have a purpose, but sometimes we’re not sure what it looks like or why it truly matters. This conversation helps connect the dots, reminding us that representing Jesus isn’t just a calling, it’s something we live out every day, right where we are.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;This week, Pastor Mark Pettus is back to unpack the Easter message—that no sin, no shame, no situation is too far from the love of God.
We’re all on a spiritual journey, and now more than ever before, people are asking what God is really like. The There is More team dives into Holy Week, gives behind-the-scenes look at Easter at Highlands, and shares how we can all keep taking next steps in our relationship with Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;This week on the There Is More Podcast, Pastor Dino reminds us that God is working—even when it looks like the enemy is winning.&lt;br&gt;
Through everyday stories, we see how He is shaping us, our kids, and our communities in ways we often don’t notice. Growth can feel uncomfortable, but every detail is part of His good plan. As we approach Easter, this conversation will encourage your faith, deepen your trust, and remind you: wherever you are, there is more.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;What does it really mean to be a child of God? In Week 3 of our journey through Romans 8, Pastor Mark Pettus joins the conversation as we unpack his message, Why You Feel Alone, and explore what it means to be adopted into God’s family.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Get a glimpse into how Pastor Mark prepares and what inspires his teaching as we talk about finding our identity in Christ—not in the voices of the world or our own inner narratives—and how knowing God as our Father frees us from striving and invites us to live with purpose, making a difference with the love of Christ.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;As we begin our 6-week journey to Easter through Romans 8, we unpack Pastor Mark’s message, “Why You Still Feel Stuck,” and explore the daily choice between dependence on God and self. It’s time to clear the spiritual clutter, trade striving for surrender, and step into the freedom Jesus secured for us on the cross — starting now.&lt;/p&gt;
