Send us a text The Fast God Actually Chose We’ve been told fasting means giving up food for a set time to get closer to God. But in Isaiah 58, God says something very different—and far more disruptive. In this message, Pastor Dan reframes “fasting” as a radical commitment to justice, compassion, and action. This isn’t about religious rituals or empty traditions. It’s about breaking the chains of injustice, feeding the hungry, sheltering the unhoused, and refusing to stay silent when the vulnerab...

What if the most miraculous thing we can do… is build a healthcare system that heals everyone? In this fire-filled sermon, Pastor Dan dismantles the narrow, harmful theology that’s told generations of Christians that real healing only happens with oil and hands-on prayer—and instead paints a stunning vision of what “greater things” might actually mean. Spoiler: It’s not...

This isn't just about theology—it’s about justice , Pride , and reclaiming a gospel big enough for everyone. Whether you’ve ever felt on the outside looking in, or you're ready to challenge everything you’ve been...

In this bold and unfiltered episode of Harvest Sarasota , Pastor Dan is taking a sledgehammer to the toxic theology that has justified everything from condemnation to oppression—all in the name of scripture.

Send us a text In this episode, we explore a universal truth that transcends time and belief systems: the quest for identity. From the earliest stories of humanity, like Adam and Eve in the garden, we see how a single deception shifted our understanding of ourselves and the world. The serpent's lie wasn't about breaking a rule—it was about distorting our sense of who we are. We'll revisit the Genesis narrative, where Adam and Eve hid from their source of love, creating a false image of themselve...
