College Ave Podcast

In this episode, Pastor Chris Hilken explains what it means to live "bulletproof" and unoffendable in a culture built on outrage and reactivity. Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Romans 12, and the example of Daniel's resolve in Babylon, Chris unpacks the idea of "predeciding" - choosing ahead of time how we will respond to disappointment, insult, and hardship, rather than being at the mercy of our circumstances. An unbreakable mentality isn't about denying pain or pretending life is easy. It's about facing a broken world already decided that nothing can steal our joy and hope found in Christ.
