[@MsMonicaDrake]

I use to live in Birmingham and my cousin was attending Rock City before I got there. Pastor Mike and the Experience Department saved my life in so many ways. I won't ever be able to thank God enough for the hugs I received while walking into the sanctuary and inside the sanctuary. I was going through a tough season and this church was my saving grace. Keep doing what you all are doing, because now I consider myself as an e-member, because of very difficult circumstances, I am found without a church again. Remember me and my testimony, because I'm sure I will post this somewhere else again.

[@Josh-uc4jm]

I didn't know who PMJ was untill his sermon "here to remind you" at elevation. Still the best sermon I've seen in my life!! I was in the worst place in my life when I heard that message. Thank God for Pastor Mike, he has spoken so much life into me. I'm finally stepping away from sports and into serving, so I ask for everyone's prayers as I learn to walk in this level of faith.

[@candola87]

Got me shouting at work. I might have to plan a trip from NJ to experience this in person.

[@ladinafranks964]

1:07:48 this was a powerful message. As a single mother of 5 and health issues you try to keep praying for a mindset that will keep you going. Then you fighting off the demons of just wanting to give up. My babies and God keep me sane. Thank you for this message ❤😊

[@shawndewitt1194]

[@catchingvibez6299]

God is perfectly purposeful I have been struggling with some things since December and I learn today about the types of levels and some of the names for every need that we have and I learn about 5 of the names today. I love how Pastor Mike has changed my way of thinking in my season that I am facing helping me build my faith and relationship with God these sermons are amazing and I know that my season will be a BIG VICTORY for me. I love it never thought building a stronger faith and relationship with God would be exciting and fun for me. I know GOD IS BIGGER THAN EVERYTHING THAT IM GOING THROUGH. GOD IS BIGGER THEN ANYTHING ON THIS EARTH AND ITS NOTHING HE CAN NOT DO HE IS THE OMEGA.

[@chenellecheffen3547]

My man lead me to him went back and listen to all his sermons ❤❤❤

Amen 🙏🏾 blessings to everyone🙏🏾 This word was everything, my boyfriend and I really was sitting here talking about what it is that we need to give up so we can go up. Thanks for this word today!! Side note my boyfriend doesn’t even watch but he watched today! Amen 🙏🏾

[@zinhlemkhize2332]

PMJ that makes so much sense about music. If the Devil was Lucifer the Worshipping Archangel, of course he's going to use his gift. God gives gifts without repentance

I love me some Rock City. I live in North Carolina. Before finding Rock City, I was blowing in the wind...nothing made sense. I would read and not understand what I read in the Bible. Some stuff, I still don't but when Rock City breaks it down ---- they break it down. I mean even a baby can understand and that blesses my soul. Keep doing what you are doing cause 'hell just lost another one!' I am coming to Rock City physically in the near future. BOTLO for me. Much love..
