The Potter's House Podcast

Pressure isn’t a sign you’re off track; it’s God breaking up the ground so your harvest can grow.   In this panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson take us through Acts 6-10, revealing what real growth looks like when the foundation is tested. They challenge the myth that titles produce work, exposing that the most powerful servants were already doing the work before they ever received recognition. From Stephen’s unwavering faith while being condemned to Philip’s willingness to let go of the mantle so Paul could step into his purpose, this panel shows us that God doesn’t promote titles, He promotes hearts.   You’ll discover that softening your heart daily, volunteering without expecting return, and keeping your eyes on Jesus instead of your accusers is what sustains you through pressure.  These questions anchor our discussion: • Why do things become harder before recovery? • How do I soften my heart daily? • How do I check my spirit when volunteering, not to seek recognition? • What does it mean when God is trying to heal you, but you reject it?  Watch the full conversation and discover how pressure produces purpose.  Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Growing Through Pressure”  Speakers: Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson Scriptures: Acts 6-10 Date: June 10, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Pain may be loud, but it doesn’t get the final word.   In “Help Is on the Way,” Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that God never asks us to ignore our pain, but He invites us to bring it into His presence. Gratitude and grief can exist in the same heart, and trusting God in the process is how we walk through it with Him.  In John 14 and Lamentations 3, we discover how hope is born in the middle of hardship, why pain doesn’t have to paralyze your praise, and how the Holy Spirit serves as your advocate, helper, and guide. When Jeremiah’s soul was sinking, God’s faithfulness lifted his perspective, and He can do the same for you.  If you’re navigating disappointment, grief, uncertainty, or simply waiting on God, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that His mercy is still at work.   Message: “Help Is on the Way” Scripture: John 14:25-26, Lamentations 3:20-24 (NKJV) Speaker: Sarah Jakes Roberts Date: May 31, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Some seasons feel scattered. But on Pentecost Sunday, Bishop T.D. Jakes reminds us that God is still in the business of gathering. Gathering what was broken, what was planted in tears, and gathering people back into purpose, power, and hope again.  “The Great Gathering” unpacks how God brings beauty out of brokenness, turns seasons around suddenly, and gives ordinary people power to do what they never thought possible.  If you’ve been discouraged, resistant, or wondering if anything is still growing from what you planted in faith, this message will remind you: God still turns things around — suddenly.  Message: “The Great Gathering”  Scripture: Acts 2:1-7 (KJV) Speaker: Bishop T.D. Jakes Date: May 24, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

It’s hard to keep the faith when God’s answer isn’t the one you wanted.  In this message, Pastor Don Johnson unpacks Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from 2 Corinthians, revealing how God’s sustaining grace can meet us in discomfort, hardship, and seasons we never would have chosen for ourselves.  Watch this word and discover how to: • Trust God even when life feels uncomfortable. • Stop letting pressure shake your identity and purpose. • Understand the difference between avoiding pain and growing through it. • Lean on God’s strength when your own strength runs out.  If you’ve been wrestling with disappointment or prayers that seem unanswered, this message is a reminder that God’s presence sustains you in the hard seasons.  Message: “The Gift You Didn’t Want”  Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:6-10 (NIV) Speaker: Pastor Don Johnson Date: May 17, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

There’s always a pothole on the way to destiny. Forever First Lady Mrs. Serita Jakes takes us into the story of Naomi. She was a woman whose name means “pleasant,” but her deep sorrow challenged everything she thought she knew. Drawing from passages in Ruth and Hebrews, this powerful Mother’s Day message confronts loss, bitterness, and the journey back to confidence. Naomi fled famine, lost her husband and sons in Moab, and renamed herself “bitter,” forgetting who God said she was. But while she was losing, Ruth was gleaning in the fields. What Naomi discarded became someone else’s survival. And God restored her joy through something she didn’t see coming. We can’t change what God already said about us. Even when you lose, look at what you have left. There’s so much more in store. Message: “Even When I Lose, I Will Win Again” Scripture: Ruth 1:19-21, 4:15-17; Hebrews 10:35 (NKJV) Speaker: Mrs. Serita Jakes Date: May 10, 2026 Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

What do you do when you’re doing everything right but something still feels off? You’re praying. You’re showing up. You’re staying consistent. But deep down, something feels empty. In this message, Touré Roberts uncovers a truth many overlook: You can be spiritually active and still have a neglected soul. Unseen damage, past experiences, and unaddressed wounds can shape how you live, love, and show up in the world. But this message will help you: • Recognize when your soul — not your circumstances — is the real issue. • Understand the difference between spiritual activity and true soul health. • Break free from patterns caused by unhealed internal wounds. • Experience restoration that starts from the inside out. Your life will only prosper to the level your soul is whole. And when your soul is restored, everything connected to you begins to change.

 Have you ever been so deep in the middle of something that you stopped caring about everything else? In this powerful message, Sarah Jakes Roberts unpacks Mark 8:1-6 to remind us that God still cares — even when we no longer have the capacity to care ourselves.  This word encourages us to find a way to care without carrying, by bringing our burdens to the One who never grows weary, never runs out of compassion, and never stops making a way. Whether you’re facing correction you mistook for rejection, carrying assignments that were never yours, or waiting for Jesus to pass by instead of pursuing Him, this message is for the moments in life that put a demand on everything you have.  Thankfully, God has capacity for everything you’re holding. And what He provides? It has distance built into it.  Message: “God Still Cares” Scripture:  Mark 8:1-6 (NKJV) Speaker: Sarah Jakes Roberts Date: March 15, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.
