What To Do When Heaven Feels Silent | Pastor Ryan Johnson

What if 100 people prayed together for 21 days straight? Pastor Ryan unpacks how the early church didn't just attend together—they PRAYED together, and heaven responded. From the Moravians' 100-year prayer meeting to the Welsh Revival that changed the local culture from the inside out, history shows us that when God's people unite in prayer, everything changes. Your one takeaway: Don't let life's pressures drive you to isolation—let them drive you to your church family. Ready to shake some buildings?

Don't Quit Pulling On Heavens Rope | Pastor Ron Johnson

Ever feel like quitting when prayers seem unanswered? Pastor Ron unpacks Jesus' parable about a persistent widow who refused to give up—and how her relentless faith changed everything. Discover why delay doesn't mean God's ignoring you, but preparing something powerful. The widow had no power, influence, or leverage—just persistence. And that's exactly what moved an unjust judge to action. How much more will our loving Father respond to our faithful prayers? One takeaway: Start each morning acknowledging God's presence before grabbing your phone. Make prayer your first conversation, not your last resort.

When The Praise Goes Up, The Glory Comes Down | Pastor Ron Johnson

Ever wonder why worship feels so powerful? Pastor Ron reveals the secret: your praise isn't just pretty songs—it's spiritual warfare that literally silences your enemies and invites God's supernatural intervention. Drawing from the story of Jehoshaphat's victory through worship, he shows how joyful celebration becomes the platform where God manifests His presence and fights our battles. Here's your takeaway: next time you're overwhelmed, don't just pray harder—worship louder, because when you sing with faith, God sets ambushes for your enemies.

Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family. Stones are a product of God the Creator — formed in nature and no two are alike. As we come to faith in Jesus Christ, scripture tells us that we are like living stones in the hand of God and He is using us to build up a spiritual house. Our foundation was built on the work of nurturing and restoring healthy, biblical marriages. In continuing that mission, everything we do here at Living Stones is centered around loving, healing, and equipping individuals and families to grow into a greater likeness of Christ Jesus! By the Holy Spirit, we exist today to Renew Hearts, Restore Homes, Reform Culture and Reach the Nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:4-5 ”As you come to him who is the Living Stone — he was rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious — you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house.” We are a family — misfits, hypocrites, creatives, addicts, reformers, over-churched, unchurched, wanderers — each of us a stone, uniquely crafted by the hand of God, made alive through Jesus, and now living by the power of the Holy Spirit. Together, we are Living Stones.
