TKG Message | 02.20.2026

In this powerful message, Pastor Chris addresses how God is currently cleaning house in our lives, pulling away the pseudo-comforts and cultural definitions that compete with knowing Him intimately. Drawing from the banquet imagery and Jesus as the bread that came down from heaven, he challenges us to acquire a taste for what truly satisfies rather than settling for the broken fragments we've inherited. The heart of the message focuses on God's original design for family, particularly fathers, who are called first to be gardeners like their Heavenly Father rather than simply providers driven by cultural pressure. Using Adam's role in Eden as the foundation, Pastor Chris reveals how men are meant to cultivate their homes from the overflow of their relationship with God, not from the stress and striving that leads to burnout and absent fathering. The goal of family, he reminds us, is to bring forth image bearers who reflect Christ's nature. This teaching offers both conviction and freedom for anyone ready to embrace God's blueprint for relationships over society's broken expectations.
