Godspeak Calvary Chapel

Guest speaker Shane Winnings, CEO of Promise Keepers and former missionary, delivers a powerful message at Godspeak Calvary Chapel from Philippians 1, challenging believers to endure trials with unwavering faith and to live for Christ’s glory rather than worldly pursuits. Reflecting on his military and police background, including a grueling Seattle Marathon with a rucksack, Winnings emphasizes that true spiritual strength emerges through suffering, drawing parallels to Paul’s joy in prison. He urges the congregation to shift their perspective from fitting Christ into life’s plans to making Him the pursuit, using the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s resolve to trust God “even if” He doesn’t deliver. Winnings’ closing prayer calls for repentance and a renewed focus on Christ, aligning with Godspeak’s mission of biblical application and cultural engagement.Reference VersesProverbs 11 verse 30, Matthew 13 verses 3–23, Romans 5 verses 3–5, Psalm 139 verse 8, Matthew 6 verses 25–34, Philippians 1 verses
