Mercy Culture

Hear Senior Pastor Heather Schott expose the demons of addiction and teach us how to find our identity in Christ!

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.

America’s failures, sin, and strongholds are not greater than the Everlasting God. In this message, Dutch Sheets reveals how spiritual strongholds are dismantled through persistent prayer, repentance, and obedience—and why we must believe God is powerful enough to cleanse, restore, and turn a nation around.

In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to engage in spiritual warfare, drawing from Matthew 28 and Ephesians 6. He unpacks the truth that principalities are high-ranking demonic spirits that reign over regions, cities, and nations with the primary goal of blinding the minds of unbelievers from seeing the light of the gospel. Pastor Sean challenges believers to be aware of the spiritual realm without becoming obsessed with it, keeping their focus fixed on Jesus who holds the highest authority.

Pastor Sean walks through the history of Waco, revealing how the city has partnered with principalities of dishonor, covetousness, the orphan spirit, and false religion, and calls the church to unseat each one by lifting up the highest authority. He warns that every act of disobedience surrenders spiritual authority to the enemy, while every act of obedience partners with Jesus and reclaims ground.

This message challenges believers to understand that you unseat principalities not by binding and rebuking in your own name, but by lifting up Jesus, repenting of any partnership with the enemy, speaking His name, and boldly preaching the gospel everywhere you go, because the great commission was never meant only for the pulpit.

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, Sean and Natalie Gleason or another leader in our community.

Pastor Zane teaches on the reality of spiritual warfare and the weapons God has given believers to stand against the Enemy. Through daily encounters, the Word of God, the name of Jesus, fasting, praise, and more, we are equipped to fight from a place of victory.

 

Pastor Jeremy Dunn of Kingdom Culture Church joins Landon Schott for a raw conversation about rushing into ministry too soon — and why speed is never your friend, obedience is.

Jeremy opens up about starting full-time ministry at 16, getting licensed as a pastor at 18, and launching his first church at just 28 — and looks back with honesty about how young that really was. He shares hard-won lessons on staying submitted to spiritual covering, what it cost him to plant early, and a gripping story about a staff member who couldn't wait for God's timing. Landon and Jeremy also get vulnerable about moral failure, the danger of "professional hiding," and a defining prayer Jeremy prayed the night his church exploded in growth.

If you're a young leader feeling the pressure to move fast, this conversation is a warning and a covering: don't rush your development — wait to be sent.

Unseating Principalities — In this message, we dive into biblical spiritual warfare and what it really means to fight against "principalities and powers" (Ephesians 6:12). Discover the four spiritual strongholds identified over Austin — Pride, Chaos, Profanity, and the Orphan Spirit — and learn the difference between foolish, self-focused spiritual warfare and the wise way Jesus modeled: unseating the enemy not by fighting harder, but by lifting up the highest authority.

Spiritual warfare isn’t about making demons bigger—it’s about lifting Jesus higher. In “Unseating Principalities,” Pastor Landon Schott teaches how to recognize spiritual forces at work and respond biblically through prayer, obedience, and resistance. Jesus is seated far above every principality, power, and authority—and our victory begins when we come under His authority.

Hear our Lead Pastor Jaco Booyens teach us how to win in spiritual warfare by putting Jesus in His rightful place as Lord of our lives!

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather sits down with her own spiritual sons — Sean Gleason, Ray Valdez, Paul Tremble, and Isaac Hector — for one of the most raw and real conversations yet. These are the men she has walked through suicidal ideation, panic attacks, pornography addiction, shame, deliverance, and the long road to freedom. This is what it looks like when a pastor actually builds people, not just a platform.
