One Way to God: Jesus | Landon Schott | MC Fort Worth

There is only one way to God—and it’s through Jesus Christ.

This Easter message, rooted in Matthew 24, reveals that salvation is only possible because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross—laying down His life to rescue us from sin, judgment, and separation, and rising again to restore us into relationship with God. As shown throughout Scripture, salvation is not earned but freely given through Him alone. In a world filled with false versions of Jesus, this teaching calls us back to the truth: Jesus is the only true Savior and the only way to God, and real salvation is found in placing your faith in Him.

The Spirit of Mammon | Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott

Most believers think they love God more than money. Landon Schott was one of them — until God said four words that dropped the floor out from under him: "You serve mammon." In this episode, Landon breaks down the spirit of Mammon — what it actually is, how it operates, and why even mature, ministry-seasoned believers get trapped by it without knowing. This isn't a lesson on budgeting. It's a spiritual warfare teaching on the invisible force that turns money into a god.

In this episode:
• What Mammon actually is — and why translating it as just "money" misses the point
• The vision God gave Landon about the scales — miracles vs. money on the same altar
• Why the rich young ruler said no to Jesus — and how most believers do the same thing weekly
• How the Antichrist will use economy to damn people to hell
• 5 signs Mammon controls your life (including one that hits hard for ministry leaders)
• Why you should never pray for money — ever
• 5 practical ways to break free from the spirit of Mammon
• The difference between faith for abundance and Mammon

You can love God and still serve Mammon. The question is: which one do you obey when it costs you something?

Two Year Anniversary | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth

Connect With God: Remembrance | Heather Schott | MC Austin

In this message, Pastor Heather unpacks what it truly means to connect with God through remembrance—not as a passive reflection, but as a powerful, spiritual act that draws you back into intimacy with Him.

In this message we walk through the moment Jesus commands His disciples, “Do this in remembrance of Me,”revealing that remembrance is not optional—it is essential to encountering God. When you remember who He is, what He has spoken, and what He has done, your heart is stirred with gratitude, your faith is strengthened, and your connection with Him deepens.

Connect with God: Conversation | Landon Schott | MC Fort Worth

In this message with Senior Lead Pastor, Landon Schott, we learn about connecting with God through Conversation — not just speaking, but listening, responding, and being formed by His voice. Through Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane, we see that the cross wasn’t decided in public, but in private conversation with God. Jesus' situation didn't change, yet everything within Him did — proving that real encounters with God don’t always remove the moment, but they redefine how we walk through it.

Connecting with God Through Solitude | PS Les Cody | MC Waco

In this convicting message, Pastor Les Cody explores what it truly means to connect with God through solitude, drawing from Matthew 26. He unpacks the difference between isolation and solitude, revealing that isolation is running from people, while solitude is intentionally running to God. Pastor Les challenges believers to stop avoiding the secret place and to embrace the wilderness seasons of life, because the wilderness is not a place of punishment, it is a place where God speaks.

Pastor Les warns that the greatest weapon of the enemy is not to move believers toward evil, but to keep them distracted, exhausted, and spiritually asleep. He calls the church to build a life of prayer and solitude before the pressure comes, because your private prayer life determines your public stability.

This message challenges believers to bring their sorrow and exhaustion to the Lord in the secret place, because the same garden of solitude that reveals your sorrow is the same garden where Jesus is waiting to heal it. Solitude is not a preference, it is a spiritual weapon.

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. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community.

Connect With God: Fasting | Kaily Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, Pastor Kaily shared that fasting is intentionally denying the flesh so you can hunger for God, hear His voice, and draw closer to Him. There are multiple benefits when it comes to fasting, which are: fasting confronts idols, fasting creates hunger, fasting aligns you with God’s will, fasting brings breakthrough, and fasting connects you with God.

Connect with God: Creation | Lindsey Ingram | MC Dallas

This message explores how we can connect with God through creation, recognizing that everything He made points back to Him. Rooted in John 1, it reveals that Jesus is the source of all creation and the true light of the world. As we slow down, pay attention, and engage with what God has made, we can encounter His presence, hear His voice, and grow spiritually—while keeping our focus on the Creator, not the created.

We Prayed for Iran's Leader to Fall | Holy Disruption with Heather Schott

In this episode of Holy Disruption, host Heather Schott and co-host Jasmine Weiler sit down with Pastor Chris Donald — evangelist, Mercy Culture pastor, co-founder of 33rd Company, and director of Mercy Culture Spiritual Leadership School — to talk about what God is doing in the nations right now, and what the American church needs to wake up to. Chris shares his radical conversion story, his heart for local and global missions, and why evangelism and discipleship were never meant to be separated. From baptizing thousands in Fort Worth to sharing the gospel with ISIS, to a Muslim family in Pakistan encountering Jesus — this conversation will wreck you in the best way.

Connect with God: Compassion | Will Ford | MC East

Pastor Will Ford’s message centers on the idea that connecting with God through compassion means aligning our hearts with God’s deep love and concern for people, moving beyond sympathy or empathy into action that “suffers with” others and seeks to bring restoration. Drawing from scriptures like Exodus 3 and John 11, he shows that God both sees suffering and steps into it—just as Jesus wept with Mary and Martha before raising Lazarus—demonstrating that true compassion is not distant observation but personal identification with pain that leads to transformation. Biblical compassion, rooted in deep inward emotion, fuels kindness, mercy, and intercession, empowering believers to partner with God in bringing healing and solutions to a broken world. Ford emphasizes that compassion unlocks the miraculous, deepens intimacy with God, and births powerful prayer, warning that a comfort-driven, numb Christianity stifles true intercession. Ultimately, the message calls believers to reject passivity, embrace vulnerability, and allow God to break their hearts for what breaks His—because compassion is the doorway to encountering God, carrying others in prayer, and releasing His power on the earth.
