What happens when the church chooses to invest deeply in ministry partners? In this episode of the Infinitely More Podcast, Nick sits down with Jeff Bogue (Senior Pastor of Grace Church and President of Momentum Ministry Partners), Donny Varney (Vice President of Momentum Ministry Partners), and DJ Douglas (Pastor of Student Ministry at Medina East Campus) to talk about the Lord’s work through the Momentum Youth Conference and why Grace Church is so passionate about partnering with ministries that are reaching the next generation.

They reflect on what God did at Momentum this year, how the Lord brought Donny into the ministry, and the vision for what Momentum could become in the years ahead. Jeff also shares why Grace chooses to make a significant investment in Momentum—and a story that shows how that investment can have a lasting impact.

DJ gives a youth pastor’s perspective on what he saw God doing in students throughout the week and why opportunities like Momentum are so valuable in the spiritual formation of students. More than a conference recap, this conversation is about kingdom partnership—coming alongside trusted ministries, investing in what God is already doing, and believing that our investment today can help shape lives and advance the Gospel for generations to come.

Listen in to hear what God is doing through Momentum and learn how you can pray for this ministry partnership and the students being reached through it.

Pray for momentum ministry partners in this way:

– Wisdom and discernment navigating exciting opportunities for momentum’s future

– For God to raise up an ever growing army of spirit led volunteers, supporters, and team to lead with courage and sacrifice

Here at Grace we are blown away by all the ways God has been at work and the people’s willingness to say yes to doing the hard thing so that the Gospel can be advanced.

What if God doesn’t need you to have it all together before He can use you?

As Christ’s ambassadors, we can sometimes feel like we need to be strong, confident, successful, and spiritually “put together” before we can point others to Jesus. But Scripture gives us a different picture.

Paul describes us as “jars of clay”—ordinary, imperfect, and fragile people carrying an incredible treasure: the gospel.

In this message from the Ambassadors series, we look at how God often reveals the power of Christ through the weakness of His people. Our pain, limitations, disappointments, failures, and struggles don’t automatically disqualify us from being used by God. Sometimes, they become the very places where people see His power most clearly.

You don’t have to wait until the story is finished to point people to Jesus. God can work through you right in the middle.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9

In this message:
• God uses us in our weakness
• We are jars of clay carrying a priceless treasure
• You don’t have to have everything figured out to be used by God
• God’s power can be revealed in the middle of our struggles
• Our imperfect stories can point people to a perfect Savior

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7–12; 2 Corinthians 5:20; 2 Corinthians 12:9–10; Psalm 34:18

God uses people like you. Will you let Him work through you—even in the middle?
