  • It's Not Your Fault It Broke. It's Your Fault It Stays Broken | Eric Thomas

    It's Not Your Fault It Broke. It's Your Fault It Stays Broken | Eric Thomas
    May 24 2026
    It's not your fault it broke. But it is your fault if it stays broken. You didn't ask for the trauma. You didn't choose the betrayal. You didn't plan the divorce, the loss, the abuse, the abandonment. You didn't knock your own walls down. But 140 years later, you're still standing in the rubble. And God is asking you one question: when are you going to rebuild? Using the story of Nehemiah, Pastor Eric Thomas exposes the real reason your life is still broken. It's not because it's too hard to fix. It's not because God hasn't shown up. It's because you haven't owned it yet. Nehemiah looked at walls destroyed for 140 years and rebuilt them in 52 days. Not because he had more resources or a bigger team. Because he stopped blaming, stopped avoiding, and started building. In this message you'll discover: → Why power is available but not automatic, and how to activate it in your life → The difference between assessing, praying, and finishing, and why most people never get to the third step → Why 52 days is all it takes when you stop making excuses and start taking ownership → How empty hands don't stay neutral, they either build with you or break what you're building → The real reason people who loved you when you were broken start hating you when you start healing → Why you can't build with 2 hands anymore, you need one for the work and one for the weapon → The electrician story, the credit report testimony, and the Rose Royce revelation that will change how you see God's standard for your life 📖 KEY SCRIPTURES: Nehemiah 2:17 — You see the distress we are in; come, let us build Nehemiah 6:15 — So the wall was finished in 52 days Ephesians 3:20 — Exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think Nehemiah 4:17 — Those who built on the wall... with one hand worked and with the other held a weapon CHAPTERS: Chapters 00:00:00 Welcome: The Gift of Power 00:00:39 The Standard: Exceedingly Abundantly Beyond 00:03:50 Power Is Available, Not Automatic 00:04:54 The Electricity Story: When Power Doesn't Work 00:08:47 Envy as an Indicator: You Need More Power 00:11:39 Ownership: The Key to Accessing Power 00:12:52 It's Not Your Fault It Broke, But It's Your Fault It Stays Broken 00:15:16 Self-Accountability: How Power Starts 00:15:55 Nehemiah's Wall: 52 Days to Fix 140 Years of Broken 00:17:47 Build With One Hand, Fight With the Other 00:38:24 Empty Hands Don't Sit Neutral - They Wreck 00:21:01 The Joe Jackson Principle: Accountability Over Coddling 00:22:40 The Remnants in Captivity: Taking Ownership 00:25:07 Self-Assess: Look at Your Broken Walls 00:30:04 Stop Performing for People, Start Changing for God 00:27:10 The Wall Was Finished in 52 Days 00:44:53 Shop A vs Shop B: Two Mindsets, Two Outcomes 00:49:42 This Is Your Floor, That Was My Ceiling 00:55:03 The Five Steps: See, Pray, Own, Rally, Finish 01:00:59 Blessed Is the Man: The Promise for Your Seed 01:03:20 Bring Your Broken to the Maker 🔥 IF THIS HIT YOU Share it with someone who's been standing in the rubble too long.

  • You Don't Need More Truth. You Need This. | Eric Thomas

    You Don't Need More Truth. You Need This. | Eric Thomas
    May 17 2026
    You don't need another sermon. You don't need another scripture. You don't need another devotional. You already know enough truth to be in heaven right now. The problem isn't knowledge. It's that you're not doing what you already know. And that's why you're stuck. In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas delivers one of the most direct, most convicting words of the year: a message about the real reason your life hasn't changed. It's not more information. It's accountability. And until you stop looking for more truth and start living the truth you already have, nothing will shift. Using the story of Nathan and David, the analogy of the 8-foot rim, and raw testimony about tithing on his business, Pastor ET breaks down the three levels of accountability that will take your life to the next level: Self. Home. Community. In that order. Most people skip self and go straight to trying to fix everyone else. That's why it never works. You can't save a drowning person when you're drowning too. You can't hold someone accountable when you haven't dealt with the plank in your own eye. In this message you'll discover: → Why your next level isn't coming from more truth — it's coming from accountability → The three levels of accountability: Self, Home, Community (and why order matters) → Why most Christians know the Word but aren't doing the Word → How to be your own Joe Jackson and Joe Clark so no one else has to → The difference between butter knife relationships and iron sharpening iron → Why you can't dunk on an 8-foot rim and expect 10-foot results → What it really means to examine yourself and test yourself (2 Corinthians 13:5) → The hospital analogy: why the church isn't full of just sick people → Why God had to tell Pastor ET to tithe on his business, not just his personal income 📖 KEY SCRIPTURES: 2 Corinthians 13:5 — Examine yourself, see whether you are in the faith Matthew 7:5 — Take the plank out of your own eye first Joshua 24:15 — As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord 1 Timothy 5:8 — Anyone who does not provide for their household has denied the faith Proverbs 27:17 — Iron sharpens iron 2 Samuel 12 — Nathan confronts David: "You are the man" CHAPTERS: 🔥 IF THIS HIT YOU Share it with someone who keeps asking for more but won't do what they already know.

  • Your Whole Family Is Waiting on You to Finally Say 'No More' | Eric Thomas

    Your Whole Family Is Waiting on You to Finally Say 'No More' | Eric Thomas
    May 10 2026
    Your whole family is waiting on you. They just don't know how to ask There's a "no more" sitting in your spirit right now. A line you should've drawn months ago. A truth you've been carrying alone because saying it out loud feels too costly. So you've stayed silent. You've kept the peace. You've prayed about it. You've waited. And nothing has changed. In this message, Eric Thomas breaks down what happens to a home, a marriage, a family — and a calling — when the person who sees the problem won't open their mouth. And what happens the moment they finally do. What you'll walk away with: - Why "I'll just pray about it" can be the most damaging response you give - The difference between keeping the peace and keeping the problem alive - The 8 reasons we stay silent — and the truth that breaks each one - Why temporary discomfort is the price of preventing permanent damage - A direct word for the people who've been punished for telling the truth CHAPTERS ▶ Subscribe for new messages every week: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRzMQFmplNd4-H1X5bj1jA?sub_confirmation=1 🎧 Listen to APOC Ministry on the go: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apoc-ministry/id1448489948 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7MSRcKb31rzblPxPpvM5WF ──────────────── ABOUT ERIC THOMAS — ET THE HIP HOP PREACHER Eric Thomas, PhD, is a world-renowned speaker, author, educator, and pastor known globally as ET The Hip Hop Preacher.
