How To Increase Your Capacity | Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott

You're not out of capacity. You're out of clarity.

Most leaders hit a wall and immediately look for help, hire someone, or ask God to lighten the load. But Landon Schott shares the prayer that changed everything — and why asking God to remove pressure might actually be asking Him not to bless you.

In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, Landon breaks down the exact five-step system he uses to keep increasing his capacity as a leader — and how an entire church grows when everyone stays in their lane and stewards well.

In this episode:

• Why capacity is both a spiritual and practical issue
• The 5-step capacity framework: Identify → Prioritize → Remove → Empower → Repeat
• How differing priorities cause team friction (and how to fix it)
• The 10/80/10 rule Mercy Culture uses for radical empowerment
• What "leaning into awkward" actually looks like in leadership
• How to maintain your health and family while increasing your load
• Biblical examples from Luke 10, Luke 16, Acts 6, and Exodus 18

The question isn't how do I handle less — it's how do I steward more?

Connecting With God Through Learning | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth

In this powerful message, Pastor Will Ford teaches that learning is one of the most powerful ways we connect with God. Biblical learning isn’t just about information or head knowledge — it’s about intimacy, experience, and transformation. When we truly seek to know God through His Word, we begin to understand His heart, recognize His voice, and reflect His character. Real learning changes the way we think, live, and respond to life. The more we pursue Him with a teachable spirit, the deeper our relationship grows — because knowing God was never meant to stay intellectual, it was meant to be personal.

Connecting with God through Solitude | Kaily Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, Ps. Kaily teaches on how we can truly connect with God through solitude.

Solitude begins with intentional withdraw — stepping away from the noise, distractions, and demands of life to be alone with Jesus. As Song of Solomon 2:10 reveals, there is an invitation to rise and come away with Him. Solitude is not performative or public; it is cultivated in secret. We close the door, creating space that belongs to God alone.

In that space, we slow down. We become still and remember who He is. We open Scripture. We worship. We pray. And then — we wait.

This message emphasizes that solitude is not about chasing an emotional experience. It is about positioning ourselves to be filled by God rather than trying to manufacture a feeling of God. It is about Him shaping us, meeting us, and strengthening us in the quiet place. 

Are we Living MLK Jr.'s Dream? | With Dr. Alveda King

"My uncle was shot. My father was choked and thrown in a swimming pool. Their mother was shot playing the organ. There were assassination attempts on various members of our family, including me." Dr. Alveda King—niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—joins us to talk about what the King family actually endured, what her uncle was really like, and why forgiveness isn't optional for Christians.

But this episode goes deeper than an interview. After Dr. King's segment, Heather and Jasmine have an unfiltered conversation about what most churches won't touch:

→ The media's agenda to divide black and white believers

→ Why some white Christians deny racism exists—and why some black leaders stay silent on abortion

→ The pressure on spiritual leaders to post the "right" thing

→ What it actually looks like to fight for unity behind closed doors This isn't a polished, safe conversation.

It's two women—one white, one black—processing years of hard talks, awkward questions, and real reconciliation. If you're tired of surface-level unity statements and want to see what kingdom relationships actually look like when they're tested, watch this.

Connecting With God Through Movement | Lauren Caldwell | MC East Fort Worth

In this powerful message, speaker Lauren Caldwell unpacks Connect With God | Movement through Exodus 3:1–15, showing how God consistently meets people when they are willing to move. From Moses turning aside toward the burning bush to biblical figures like Abraham, Joshua, Elijah, Jesus, and Paul, this sermon reveals that encounters often become holy visitations through obedience, motion, and response. Lauren teaches that movement—whether walking, dancing, traveling, worshiping, or simply changing posture—can be a God-designed way to connect deeply with His presence, hear His voice, and receive direction. This message invites listeners to break limitations, step out of stagnation, and discover that wherever God reveals Himself and we respond in obedience, that place becomes holy ground.

Exposing The Porn Industry | Holy Disruption with Heather Schott

He did over 1,000 porn films. Won the industry's top award. Made millions. And he wrote a suicide note listing why he'd never be a husband, father, or contribute anything good to the world.

Joshua Broome was one of the most recognizable names in adult film—until a bank teller called him by his real name. A name he hadn't heard in two years.

In this episode, Josh exposes what the porn industry doesn't want you to know:

→ How recruiters target broken people with specific questions about their childhood

→ The girl who showed up on set on her 18th birthday (and how she got there)

→ Why performers don't use their real names—and what that does to their humanity

→ The 49 colleagues Josh personally knew who died by suicide or overdose

→ Why 84% of young Christian men admit to watching porn monthly

This isn't an anti-porn rant. It's a Christ-centered conversation about redemption, the father wound, and what it actually takes to break free.

Josh now pastors, speaks nationally, and has been married to his wife Hope for nearly 10 years. They have four sons.

If you're struggling with pornography or know someone who is—watch to the end. We pray for freedom.
