Kickin' It with Mike, Episode 3: No Pressure

A pressure-filled penalty kick shows just how heavy expectations can be. This message explores how that same pressure can shape our faith, leaving us striving to be perfect and afraid to fail. Jesus offers something radically different—rest instead of pressure and freedom instead of fear. Because the outcome was never meant to rest on our shoulders in the first place. Series Description: Pastor Mike Novotny has loved soccer his whole life. And in this series, he brings that passion onto the field in a whole new faith playbook. Kickin’ It with Mike follows Pastor Mike from Time of Grace as he shows what it looks like to live out your faith in real, everyday moments—not just on Sundays. From sidelines to daily conversations, it's all about seeing how your faith can move with you wherever you go. Find even more questions at https://timeofgrace.org/.
