  War Cry | Landon Schott | MC Fort Worth 04.10.2026 1год 12хв

  Spiritual battles require spiritual strategies. In “Your War Cry is a Weapon,” Senior Lead Pastor Landon Schott teaches how holy ground prepares us for spiritual warfare—and how a true war cry is not simply a loud shout, but an expression of faith, obedience, and agreement with God. Discover how surrendering to the Commander, dying to the flesh, and being filled with the Holy Spirit prepares you to become an instrument God can use in battle.

  Humility Based Warfare | Seth Morrow | MC Austin 04.10.2026 58хв

  Most of us picture spiritual warfare as getting louder and more aggressive. What if winning the fight starts with going lower? In this episode, we continue our series on spiritual warfare and look at James 4:1-7, where the battle is described as the war inside us over who rules our will. We start by clearing up a common mix-up: humility is not timidity. Jesus flipped tables and David faced Goliath, and neither of them stopped being humble when they started being bold. From there we look at what keeps us from humility: pride, which blinds us to ourselves and puts us in opposition to God, insecurity, which convinces us God can't use us, and false humility, which tries to make itself low without God's help. Then we cover four practical ways to walk in humility: daily encounters with God, seeing yourself the way He sees you, going low in service, and giving Him the glory. The key point of the message is this: submission isn't preparation for spiritual warfare, it is spiritual warfare. Humility-based warfare means coming under God's authority so you can fight from His victory.

  Joy Based Warfare | Nate Schatzline | MC Austin 29.09.2026 54хв

  What if the way you fight your spiritual battles matters more than whether you win them? In this message, we go to the hill at Rephidim, where Moses' raised hands, Joshua's sword, and the steady support of Aaron and Hur show us what it looks like to stand in the fight together, and to stand for God's glory rather than our own victory. We start with the surprising science of willpower and the anterior midcingulate cortex, the part of the brain that grows when we do the hard things we'd rather avoid. From there we see why the battles we fight tomorrow are shaped by the flesh we deny today. Drawing on Matthew 16, Galatians 5, and Romans 8, we explore what it means to consecrate ourselves so God can do amazing things among us. Then we get practical. What does it look like to storm the hill? Get under spiritual authority, surround yourself with people of integrity, embrace your role in the fight, and refuse to lower the staff. Moses' moment at Meribah is a sobering reminder of what happens when ambition takes over. We unpack the difference between ambition-based warfare ("It's my job to make it happen!") and joy-based warfare ("It's my job to stay in His presence"), and discover why the joy of the Lord really is our strength. Whether you're weary, striving, or wondering if the fight is worth it, this episode invites you to trade the emotional rollercoaster for trust, and to die on hills your children will one day conquer.

  Worship in Warfare: From a Glimpse to a Gaze | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth 29.09.2026 1год 18хв

  Pastor Will Ford unpacked the power of the anointing as a spiritual fragrance that carries the presence of Jesus — attracting heaven and repelling darkness wherever We go. The call of the message was simple: stop being Martha, distracted by doing, and become Mary, anchored in gazing — because one glimpse of your eyes toward Him ravishes His heart, and He's inviting Us from a glimpse to a gaze.

  Spiritual Warfare: It's Not Political, It's Spiritual | Chris Cheema | MC Waco 29.09.2026 1год 1хв

  In this compelling message, Pastor Chris Cheema challenges the church to wake up and engage in spiritual warfare, drawing from 1 Kings 18 and Ephesians 6. He unpacks the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel, revealing that the same demonic spirits Elijah confronted then, including the Jezebel spirit of control, seduction, and intimidation, are the same familiar spirits the church in America faces today. Pastor Chris challenges believers to stop spectating and to get into the fight, because the time for watching from the sidelines is over. Pastor Chris warns that what many label as political issues are actually spiritual ones, including abortion, sexual perversion, censorship, and the silencing of truth, and that the church's reluctance to engage is itself a symptom of the Jezebel spirit at work. He calls believers to stop letting intimidation, fear of man, and talking points silence the truth of God's word, reminding the church that separation of church and state was never designed to keep the church out of public life, but to keep the government out of the church. This message equips believers with five practical strategies for spiritual warfare: stand on truth, fear God over man, seek spiritual authority over influence, obey God, and confront wickedness. Pastor Chris closes with a powerful declaration over Waco, calling the church to take its place as warriors who provide the altar for the fire of God to fall and who make it known that Jesus is the highest authority over every street, neighborhood, and office in their city. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

  How Todd White Wins Souls | Holy Disruption 23.09.2026 1год 33хв

  Todd White sits down with Heather Schott on Holy Disruption to tell the story most people have never heard in full — drug addiction from age 12, a homicide-suicide threat to his own family, getting shot at from ten feet away, and the exact moment "sin consciousness" was replaced by "son consciousness." Twenty-one years later, he's still burning — sharing the gospel on every ski lift, every gondola, every grocery line. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about why Christians are afraid to witness, what it actually costs to be free from shame, and why your testimony isn't optional — it's the glory God is owed.

  Spiritual Warfare: Mammon | Sean Gleason | MC Waco 22.09.2026 1год 6хв

  In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to wage war against the demonic spirit of mammon, drawing from Matthew 19 and Matthew 6. He unpacks the truth that mammon is not just money, it is a spiritual master that competes directly for your love for God, and that you reveal what you truly love by what you obey. Pastor Sean challenges believers to stop rationalizing disobedience in the area of finances and to recognize that the same spirit that kept the rich young ruler from following Jesus is the same spirit keeping many believers from fully surrendering to the Lord today. Pastor Sean warns that mammon operates on both ends of the spectrum, through the prosperity gospel that makes money the point of the Christian life, and through the poverty gospel that finds spiritual pride in lack. He calls the church to reject both ditches and to walk in radical, joyful obedience through generosity, because generosity is not just a spiritual discipline, it is a warfare strategy that expands the kingdom of God and cuts off the enemy's supply line. This message challenges believers to tithe first as an act of declaring God as their first priority, to stop letting their bank statement determine whether they obey God, and to understand that mammon will never satisfy because only the Prince of Peace can meet the deepest needs of the human heart. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

  Inner Vows | Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott 16.09.2026 40хв

  Landon made a vow to God that he would never pastor. It almost cost him Mercy Culture. In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, Pastor Landon Schott exposes inner vows — the self-made promises that decide what you'll do before God ever speaks. He opens with the vow that nearly kept him out of his calling ("I will never pastor"), the drive through Fort Worth where God answered, "You said that, I didn't," and the 40-day fast that finally broke it. This episode includes a guided prayer of repentance, five practical steps to break inner vows, and listener Q&A on vows, forgiveness, leading a spouse, and the difference between learning from mistakes and telling God never.

  Joy Based Warfare | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth 15.09.2026 1год 27хв

  Pastor Will Ford teaches that joy is a spiritual weapon that keeps us standing after deliverance and helps us hold the territory God has given us. Through Scripture and powerful examples, he shows that joy is a choice—not a feeling—and that praise is not just the celebration after victory, but the strategy that leads us through the battle. Pastor Will challenges believers to guard their joy, practice gratitude, and discover lasting joy by choosing what pleases the Lord.

  Spiritual Warfare: Mental Warfare | Sean Gleason | MC Waco 15.09.2026 1год 10хв

  In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to fight mental warfare as spiritual warfare, drawing from Mark 9 and 2 Corinthians 10. He unpacks the truth that much of spiritual warfare begins in the mind, and that what culture calls mental illness, the Bible often calls demonic. Pastor Sean challenges believers to stop waging war in the flesh through medication, diagnosis, new age practices, or other substitutes, and to pick up the spiritual weapons that God has given them. Pastor Sean shares his own powerful testimony of years of depression, suicidal thoughts, and torment from childhood, culminating in a miraculous deliverance while simply encountering God in a daily moment of worship and prayer. He challenges the church to stop seeking one-time deliverance experiences and instead build a life of daily encounters, because one encounter with God can set you free but daily encounters with God will keep you free. This message challenges believers to renew their minds practically by writing down their lies and asking God what He says about them, memorizing the word of God, exposing their thoughts to others in authentic community, and doing the opposite of what the enemy tells them to do. The goal is not just to be free from the yoke, but to outgrow it so it can never return. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

  Fear Based Warfare | Kaily Morrow | MC Austin 14.09.2026 47хв

  Fear Based Warfare — In this message, we open Matthew 14 to the moment Peter starts sinking, and ask why. Discover why the enemy's real target in fear-based warfare is your obedience, not your comfort, and why shrinking back in fear is never the wise, protective move the world makes it out to be. Learn the difference between fighting fear with more fear and doing what Jesus modeled with Peter: keeping your eyes fixed on Him and answering the spirit of fear with something stronger, the fear of the Lord.

  Fear Based Warfare | Landon Schott | MC Fort Worth 13.09.2026 1год 12хв

  Fear is a weapon the enemy uses to intimidate, control, and keep us from obeying God. In “Fear-Based Warfare,” we look at David and Goliath and discover how faith, worship, and the fear of the Lord empower us to confront what once terrified us. You can’t fight spiritual warfare with fear—only faith. You overcome the spirit of fear by fearing God more.

  TikTok Lied to You About Lindsay Clancy 09.09.2026 1год 56хв

  In this special episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather Schott is joined by Pastor Jasmine Wheiler and Pastor Vanessa to confront the Lindsay Clancy case and the movement rising around it. They walk the actual court record — the planning, the searches, the doctor's appointment that morning — and then go where almost no one is going: the spiritual reality underneath it. Toxic empathy. The "postpartum depression" label and what it has stolen from women. A justice system being asked to call evil good. And a window of death that opened over our nation long before January 24, 2023. This is a clarion call to Christian women. It is not a comfortable one. This episode was filmed on the morning of September 3, 2026, before the announcement of the mistrial.
