Stop Missing Church | Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott

Church attendance in America is in free fall — the average Christian only goes to church once a month. In this episode, Pastor Landon Schott unpacks what the Bible says about neglecting the gathering of the Saints and why that word in the Greek implies something far more intentional than just a busy weekend. He defines what a real, biblical, presence-driven church looks like — not control, not manipulation, not legalism — but a healthy community built around God's presence, sound teaching, and real accountability. He explains why so many Christians are spiritually stuck, why COVID exposed who actually valued church, and gives 5 practical steps to turn it around.

 

This is a wake-up call. Stop missing church.

His Kingdom Come | Seth Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, Pastor Seth unpacks what it truly means to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Through Scripture and practical application, he reveals that the Kingdom of God is not just a future reality—it is advancing right now wherever God's will is obeyed. Discover how prayer is more than asking God to move; it’s an invitation to participate in bringing Heaven's reality into every area of life, from our families and churches to our cities and culture. This message will challenge you to reject passive Christianity, embrace your God-given assignment, and become an active part of God's Kingdom coming to earth.

Summer of Prayer: Deliver Us From Evil | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth

Lead Pastor Will Ford teaches that the Lord’s Prayer is a declaration of kingdom invasion, where believers contend for God’s will to be established on earth and for deliverance from evil. Through the stories of enslaved Christians, abolitionists, revivalists, and intercessors, he shows how generations of prayer helped shape America’s journey from slavery toward freedom, culminating in moments like Juneteenth. A central theme is that “Deliver us from evil” is not only a personal prayer but a family and national prayer, rooted in God’s power to rescue people from bondage and restore them to sonship through Christ. Pastor Will ultimately calls the church to become a united remnant that continues filling the bowl of prayer, believing that what one generation plants in prayer another generation can harvest in history.

Summer of Prayer: Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done | Pastor Jordan Kennedy | MC Waco

In this compelling message, Pastor Jordan Kennedy explores what it truly means to pray the will of God, drawing from Genesis 22 and Matthew 6. He unpacks the truth that faithfulness is not just a moment of obedience, it is a sustained yes to God every single day. Pastor Jordan challenges believers to stop praying weak and selfish prayers and to begin praying kingdom prayers that partner with what God wants to do on this earth.
Pastor Jordan warns that the enemy's strategy is not always to stop you from praying altogether, but to keep you stuck in self-reliance, apathy, anxiety, and confusion so that your prayers never carry any kingdom power. He calls the church to surrender the need to know what comes next and to simply ask God, how do I be faithful today, because faithfulness is the key that keeps you in the perfect will of God.
This message challenges believers to give God a fresh yes every day in their daily encounter, because just as Abraham's faithfulness through decades of obedience brought the kingdom of heaven to earth, your sustained yes to God will produce blessing, favor, and a life that advances His kingdom in ways you cannot yet see.
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.

The message called the Church to a lifestyle of continual prayer, obedience, and holy alignment with God’s heart.

Holy Is Your Name | Kaily Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, we begin our Summer of Prayer series by exploring the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” Pastor Dehavilland teaches why Jesus started prayer with relationship before requests and how understanding God as Father changes the way we approach Him.

Many believers know God as Savior but struggle to relate to Him as Father. Through Scripture, this message reveals how prayer flows from sonship, why the enemy attacks our identity, and how an orphan spirit can keep us from experiencing the confidence and intimacy God desires for His children.

You’ll also gain a biblical picture of what happens when you pray. Your prayers are not lost in the air—they rise before the throne of God, are received in Heaven, and become part of His purposes on the earth. As we examine the holiness of God, we are reminded that prayer is not simply about bringing requests; it is about encountering the One who is unlike any other.

Whether you are new to prayer or longing for a deeper relationship with God, this message will encourage you to approach Him with confidence, intimacy, and reverence. Prayer is not about saying the perfect words—it is about knowing your Father, encountering His holiness, and partnering with Heaven.

Because when you come to God in prayer, you acknowledge who He is: your Father, who is in Heaven, and whose name is holy.
