“The closer I get to Jesus the more the realms of darkness begin to know who you are. Not because of you, not because of me, but because our connection to Him.”
This message invites you to see spiritual authority in Christ from God’s original design. Pastor Chad Everett teaches that God’s first commission in a sinless world was not about fighting darkness, but about defending and expanding what God created.
Subduing and having dominion is ultimately about submission to God, not domination over people. We overcome darkness by saying yes to God, not by fixating on the enemy.
Authority in Christ flows from staying connected to His voice. When believers say yes to God’s truth about their identity, marriage, family, and calling, they naturally resist and reject anything that opposes Him. Authority is not about volume, personality, or knowledge. It is about submission, intimacy, and spiritual alignment with Jesus.
You do not exercise authority because of your name. You exercise authority because of His.
This message is for anyone wanting to walk confidently in who God created them to be and to understand what real spiritual authority in Christ looks like.

The Fight That Formed You | Frankie Mazzapica | The Roads Church
In this powerful message, guest speaker Frankie Mazzapica reveals a truth every believer needs to hear: the battles that nearly broke you are the same battles God used to form you.
Drawing from David’s encounters with the lion, the bear, and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, Frankie unpacks how each fight represents a different kind of spiritual pressure we face today. Some battles silence your voice. Some battles crush you with weight. Some battles attack your identity. But in every one of them, God is shaping you, strengthening you, and preparing you for the assignment He’s placed on your life.
Whether you’re walking through discouragement, feeling spiritually muted, or wrestling with who God says you are, this message will help you recognize God’s hand at work in your story. You’ll be reminded that you aren’t fighting alone—and that what the enemy meant to use against you, God is using to build you.
Listen in and be encouraged:
God formed you through battles you thought would break you
Your voice matters in the fight
Pressure isn’t a sign of defeat—it's a place where God carries you
Your identity in Christ is stronger than any attack against you
Every victory prepares you for the next step in your calling
If you need hope, strength, or a fresh reminder of who you are in Christ, this message will breathe courage into your heart.
