Make Up Your MIND is a table talk gathering where honest conversation meets practical wisdom for the decisions that shape your life. In a world of constant noise, competing voices, and endless options, clarity has become a rare commodity—and indecision has become its own kind of prison. Around the table, we'll explore what it really means to take ownership of your thinking, settle the matters that have been left unsettled, and move forward with conviction instead of confusion. Whether you're wrestling with direction, relationships, faith, calling, or the everyday choices that quietly steer your future, this is a space to slow down, think clearly, and make up your mind. Pull up a chair. The conversation is just getting started.

The verdict is in. You are not guilty. 

This week's Table-Talk takes the message from Sunday and walks your group, your family, or your dinner table straight into the heart of Romans 8 — where Paul declares the loudest "not guilty" in the Bible and means it for you.

Together you'll name the voice of condemnation that follows you around (the list, or the not enough), see the difference between the mirror and the soap, and learn what it means to set your mind on the things of the Spirit.

The Participant Guide gives you everything you need to lead a meaningful 75-minute conversation: the full scripture, six discussion questions that move from honest to deep to actionable, a "This Week's Challenge" called Answer the Voice, and a closing prayer.

The Leader Guide adds prep checklists, timing cues, Greek-word context (katakrima, phronema), coaching notes for every question, a Pastoral Moment watch-out, and a Wednesday follow-up text. Both guides are fully bilingual — English first, then Spanish.
Print it, gather a few people, and watch the verdict become real this week.

Same morning. Same beach. Same fire. After the net filled, Jesus didn't skip past Peter's failure — He went back to it. On purpose. He built a charcoal fire on the shore, the same kind of fire Peter stood at when he denied Him three times, and He asked one question: "Simon, son of Jonah — do you love Me?"

Three times. Same number as the denials. Not asking about performance. Not asking for promises. Just: do you love Me? And when Peter said yes, Jesus gave him his purpose back — and then told him the very thing he had spent his whole life running from was coming for him anyway. Not as punishment. As "doxazo" — to make the glory of God visible.

Everything Peter feared became everything that made his life count.

This week's Table-Talk takes Sunday's message from John 21 and Matthew 16 deep into honest conversation. What is your "Far be it from You, Lord" thing? What do you need to stop gripping so your hands can be open? What if the thing you fear most is the exact location of your purpose?

Available in English and Spanish, with a full Leader Guide including coaching notes, key Greek word definitions (anthrakia, ekteneis tas cheiras sou, doxazo), a pastoral watch-out for the questions that go deep, and a mid-week follow-up text.

Table-Talk — "The Other Side"
Today is two weeks after Easter, and on this week, the disciples were wondering what they should do now...

Two weeks after Easter, Peter decides to go back to the boat. He fished all night and caught nothing — until a voice from the shore said, "Cast on the other side."
This week's message from John 21:1–14 is for everyone who showed up to Easter full of hope… and then Monday came. If you're tired of grinding and coming up empty — in your marriage, your parenting, your work, your walk with God — Jesus is already standing on the shore of your life. You don't need a new boat. You need a new angle.

The Table-Talk discussion guide takes Sunday's message deeper around the kitchen table, the coffee shop, or the living room couch. Available in English and Spanish, with a separate Leader Guide featuring timing cues, coaching notes for each question, a pastoral watch-out, and a mid-week follow-up text. One cast. That's all it takes.

Table Talk — Easter Sunday: "He Knew You'd Be Here"
Easter wasn't an accident, and neither were you. This week's Table Talk guide takes Sunday's message deeper around the kitchen table, the coffee shop, or the living room couch. Built around John 3:16-17 and Luke 24:5-6, it's a conversation about the God who came running toward us, the shame He came to lift off, and the resurrection hope that says your story is not over. Includes icebreakers, discussion questions, weekly application steps, and a group prayer guide — available in both English and Spanish. Perfect for small groups, families, or a one-on-one coffee with someone who needs to hear that they're still loved, still wanted, and still redeemable.

Palm Sunday wasn't a parade — it was a prophetic act. In The Week That Changes Everything, Pastor Stephen takes us into Matthew 21 and the moment heaven invaded earth in broad daylight. As Jesus rode into Jerusalem, the crowd made a choice: they laid down their cloaks, opened their mouths, and declared what they hadn't yet seen. Two thousand years later, the same question lands on us as we enter Holy Week: are you going to participate, or are you going to watch? This message is a call to stop spectating and start activating — because we are living between the donkey and the white horse, between the cross and the crown, and what we do this week matters.

Something is shifting. You can feel it — that restlessness in your spirit isn't random. It's preparation. This week's Table Talk is drawn from the message "Something Is About to Happen," and it's all about learning to recognize when God is stirring, responding before you have the full picture, and positioning yourself for what's next. Grab the Leader Guide or Participant Guide, gather your table, and let's talk about it.

God is in the kitchen — and the meal isn't ready yet. The aroma is already filling the house. You know something good is coming. The question is: can you trust the Chef enough to wait without grabbing at the pots?

This Table Talk is an invitation to explore what it looks like to trust God's timing — not just intellectually, but in the ordinary, sometimes frustrating moments of everyday life.

Many people feel behind in life — like they should be farther along by now. But what if you’re not behind… what if you’re simply in a chapter you don’t understand yet? In Week 2 of Chapters, we talk about how frustration, pressure, and confusion often come from misreading the season you’re in. This message will help you identify what chapter you’re currently living, stop comparing your progress to others, and trust that God is still working — even when it feels slow.

Since Champion is hosting guest speakers this week, the Chapters teaching for week 2 is provided for you here. It is 20 minutes in length and should be viewed before the table-talk at your group.

[Video will go live on Sunday Feb 1st]

Life can feel confusing when you’re in the middle of a season you didn’t expect — but God is never confused about where you are. In Week 1 of Chapters, we kick off the series by discovering how God works through seasons, transitions, and moments that don’t yet make sense. You’re not behind — you’re in a chapter. This message will help you recognize what season you’re in, stop fighting the process, and learn how to move forward with peace, faith, and clarity.

Life can feel harder than it should when something is out of alignment. In Aligned — Part 3, we explore how spiritual drift doesn’t always look like rebellion—it often shows up as frustration, fatigue, or feeling “off” without knowing why.

This message helps you identify where alignment may have shifted, why surrender and daily connection matter, and how God uses alignment to prepare you for what’s next. Through Scripture, reflection, and practical application, you’ll be invited to realign your heart before stepping into a new chapter God is writing.

When alignment is right, obedience feels lighter, faith feels steadier, and the next chapter feels possible.

ALIGNED To What Matters Most

This group study helps participants move from spiritual agreement to real-life alignment. Using the story of Nehemiah, groups will explore how burnout, drift, and frustration often come not from doing the wrong things—but from doing the right things in the wrong order.

Through guided discussion, Scripture, and practical reflection, this study walks through four anchors that keep our lives aligned with God’s plan: God’s Word, God’s Work, God’s House, and God’s Heart. Participants will identify where alignment may have slipped and take simple, actionable steps to realign their thinking, priorities, relationships, and commitments.

Perfect for small groups, families, or teams seeking clarity, peace, and renewed spiritual rhythm.

This bilingual (English & Spanish) group study guide helps you explore the biblical power of alignment—living properly positioned under God’s Kingdom rather than striving through effort alone. Featuring full Scripture passages, guided discussion questions, and breakout moments, this resource equips groups to move from busyness to fruitfulness and sets the foundation for aligning our lives with God’s Word, God’s purposes, and God’s heart.

Week 4 brings the Saying Yes series to a thoughtful and forward-looking close. This message is not about emotional moments or dramatic decisions—it is about quiet resolve. As the year comes to an end, we pause to reflect on what has been, and more importantly, to discern what God is inviting us into next. Anchored in Jesus’ settled “Yes” to the will of the Father, this week challenges us to carry our obedience beyond a single moment and into the days ahead. It is a message about clarity, alignment, and stepping into the next season with confidence, faith, and intentional trust in God’s leading.

When Jesus Said Yes — The Silence of Heaven
Before the manger.
Before the angels.
Before the cross.

There was a moment in eternity when Heaven went silent—and the destiny of humanity waited on one decision.

In this powerful Christmas message, When Jesus Said Yes, we explore the unseen moment before Bethlehem, when Jesus willingly chose to step into a broken world to fulfill the Father’s plan. Seeing both the cost of the cross and the glory of redemption, Jesus said Yes—out of love.

This message invites us to slow down in the middle of the Christmas season, reflect on the depth of Christ’s sacrifice, and consider where God may be inviting us to respond with our own Yes today.

Jesus said Yes for us.
How will we respond?

Ps. Cesar Cota brings a strong, honest word about the power of one surrendered Yes to God. Using the stories of Gideon and Abraham, and his own, he shows how even the greatest heroes of faith struggled when God asked them to step out, give up control, or make costly sacrifices. Both men hesitated. Both felt unqualified. Both wrestled with fear. Yet their obedience unlocked purpose, miracles, and generational impact.
This message cuts through the idea that faith is always bold or confident. Ps. Cesar shows that God doesn’t wait for perfect people—He calls reluctant ones, insecure ones, overwhelmed ones—and then shapes their future through obedience. Saying Yes isn’t about feeling ready; it’s about trusting the One who calls you.
It’s a message about identity, surrender, spiritual courage, and the doors that open when you choose God’s will over your own comfort. You walk away knowing this: your destiny moves at the speed of your obedience—and God is waiting on your Yes.

This week explores the spiritual law of serving and the purpose of God’s table as a place of formation. Jesus showed that serving is the pathway to blessing, joy, maturity, and Kingdom authority. Champion Groups will discuss how God forms our hearts, shapes our motives, resets our direction, and aligns our spirits so we can live out our calling.

Week 4 brings us to the heart of *The Table*—the place where gratitude reshapes us, honor roots us, and humility keeps our hearts open to God. In the story of the ten lepers, Jesus doesn’t just celebrate the one who returned; He notices the nine who didn’t. That contrast exposes something deep in all of us: gratitude isn’t automatic… it’s chosen.

This message calls us back to the “empty chair” at God’s table—the one reserved for those who were blessed, but never returned. We explore how gratitude draws us close to Jesus, how honor lifts the atmosphere of a house, and how humility keeps our spirits healthy and whole.

This week reminds us that gratitude is not just an emotion; it is a posture. It brings us back to the One who sets the table, fills the table, sustains the table, and invites the world to it. When we return with thankfulness, He doesn’t just heal us—He makes us whole.

It’s an invitation to come back to the table with a grateful heart… and fill the seat with your presence, your worship, and your honor.

The Table — Week 3: Honor
Week 3 centers on the culture-shaping power of honor—what it looks like when God’s people choose to lift others instead of tearing them down. This message shows how honor restores relationships, strengthens unity, and opens the door for God’s presence to move in families and communities. You’ll learn how to honor up, honor down, and honor all around, not out of obligation, but out of a Kingdom mindset that sees people the way God sees them. It’s practical, relational, and designed to help every person build a healthier, more life-giving table.

God’s table isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s the center of His family, the place where His presence dwells and His people are fed. In Week 2, we look deeper at the Table of Faces—the Bread of Presence, that was always kept before the Lord. This message reveals how the Church—God’s living table—must stay unified, stable, and filled with the fresh bread of His Word and Spirit. When fire keeps the bread warm, hearts stay soft. When the table is stable, it can carry the weight of God’s glory and the needs of a hungry world.

The Table: You Have a Seat. You Have a Story.
This message reminds us that God’s table is a place of belonging, grace, and purpose. No matter your past, there’s a seat prepared for you — a place where your story meets God’s redemption and your life connects to others in His family.
