In Episode 2 of Beyond Sunday, the Pastors from Newbreak Church reflect on the powerful “I Am” statements of Jesus from the Gospel of John and what they reveal about His identity, character, and invitation to trust Him more deeply. The conversation gets personal as the hosts talk honestly about anxiety, control, burnout, suffering, and the daily challenge of surrendering things to God. They explore how Jesus meets people not through perfection or appearances, but through humility, grace, and transformation. The episode also features an unforgettable baptism testimony from Caesar, a Marine officer who shares how hitting rock bottom led him to fully surrender his life to Christ. His vulnerable story becomes a moving reminder that God can redeem anyone’s story. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, uncertain, or spiritually hungry, this episode offers encouragement, honesty, and hope for what it looks like to follow Jesus beyond Sunday.

From Series: "I Am"

What if the God you’ve heard about is more personal, more present, and more powerful than you’ve experienced? In this 6-week series, we’ll explore the “I AM” statements found throughout Scripture—words God uses to reveal His character, His heart, and His invitation into relationship.= These statements aren’t just descriptions—they’re declarations of who God is for us. He is not distant or abstract. He is near, knowable, and actively at work in our lives. Each week, we’ll uncover a different aspect of His identity: the Bread that satisfies, the Light that reveals, the Shepherd who leads, the Resurrection who brings life, the Way who guides, and the Vine who sustains. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with what it means to move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him—personally, deeply, and authentically. This series is an invitation to trade shallow familiarity for real intimacy… to encounter the living God, not as a concept, but as a Person.
