Trailblazers Streaming Collection, Sessions 1-13

We all want our lives to count for something. We desperately want to know if we matter, what our purpose is, and if it’s ok to chase a dream bigger than ourselves. In this thirteen-session video series, pastor Micah E. Davis teaches how a life that is built on a solid foundation of faith can lead us to live out the way of a Trailblazer and to live a life that matters.

In this study, Micah takes us on a fresh, honest, and bold journey, exploring such questions as:

• What is my purpose and how do I know it’s what God wants for me?
• What do I need to let go of to pursue the calling God has placed on my life?
• Does God have more in store for me than this? Am I really allowed to go after it?
• Can God use a flawed and broken person like me to impact the Kingdom?
• And more!

At the heart of a Trailblazer lies a supernatural courage, strength, and faith to go first. Come alongside Micah to discover what it truly means to live out the way of a Trailblazer and to live a life that matters.

-          Video Session summaries

o   Session One: Build a Foundation of Integrity (03:34)— Character lies at the very core of a Trailblazer. In this first session, Micah discusses how personal integrity creates an environment ripe for God to work in and through us.

o   Session Two: Take the First Step (04:02)— Life is full of fork-in-the-road moments. When faced with a decision, God wants to give us wisdom to know which direction to go and courageously step into the dreams he has instilled in our hearts.

o   Session Three: Faithfully Fight Insecurity (04:29)— While culture may tell us to embrace radical individualism, the Bible calls us to live differently. Only when we get rid of our excuses and surrender wholeheartedly to God will we find true fullness and purpose.  

o   Session Four: Devoted at the Right Cost (03:54)— Where our loyalty lies defines our sense of self-worth and our future. When we pledge our loyalty to Jesus and believe what he says about us, instead of listening to the lies of others, society, or our mistakes, we will experience his strength and promise-keeping power in our lives.   

o   Session Five: Learn to Be Alone (05:06)— Many of us tend to hide behind our accomplishments, achievements, or accolades. The spiritual practices of silence and solitude can help us uncover our doubts and fears and present ourselves honestly and openly before the Lord. When we are vulnerable and humble, the Holy Spirit will meet us. 

o   Session Six: Decelerate and Listen (04:17)— Is your life moving at a peaceful pace? Or do you wish you could just slow down? In this session, Micah encourages us to reflect on the pace of our lives and consider several new rhythms that can help us set aside the hurry and recenter our souls.

o   Session Seven: Always Choose to Be Brave (03:52)— Fear often keeps us from blazing the trail that God has set before us. We struggle to believe that God has our best in mind and that he’s really in control. Micah explains how fasting can help us clear our minds and give us the courage to obey.

o   Session Eight: Take Charge of Your Day (06:49)— Following God’s call requires time, practice, and determination. By getting serious about spiritual disciplines, we can move toward maturity and become more like Jesus.

o   Session Nine: Uncomplicate Life, Gain Substance (03:24)— A blessed life is developed within a simple life. By intentionally rejecting excess, wealth, and materialism and instead choosing to chase righteousness, we can truly love our neighbors and make a difference in our communities. 

o   Session Ten: Love (Period) (08:03)— Blazing a trail is worthless without love. As we seek to become more like Jesus, we must also become people who love like he loves.

o   Session Eleven: Never Give Up (02:51)— Failure is a normal part of life. By confessing our sins and embracing the mercy of Jesus, we can get rid of shame and pride and move forward with perseverance through the redemption of the cross.

o   Session Twelve: Lean into Backwards Ambition (04:27)— When the life of a Trailblazer leads to fame and success, we must have people in our lives who will help keep us grounded in quietness, integrity, and obedience. In this session, Micah discusses what it looks like to have a core, community, and church to be known by.

o   Session Thirteen: Live Like Jesus (04:54)— The ultimate goal of the Trailblazer is to become like Jesus. We do this by actively choosing to set aside our idols, imitate our Savior, and pursue a holy life.
