How to Connect with God through Solitude | Landon Schott | MC Fort Worth

In this message, Pastor Landon Schott teaches how solitude is one of the primary ways we connect with God. Through the story of David and Goliath, we see that private encounters with God prepare us for public battles. Solitude is not isolation — it is intentional intimacy with God where He speaks, strengthens, and transforms us.

Mothers Arise | Jan Anderson | MC Dallas

Pastor Jan Anderson shares a powerful Mother’s Day message honoring the strength, value, and God-given calling of mothers and women. Through the stories of Hagar, Rahab, and Samson’s mother, this sermon reminds us that God sees every tear, redeems every broken place, and calls women to arise in courage, faith, and truth. No matter your story or season, God is your Rock, your Redeemer, and your sustaining hope.

2 Campuses. 2 Cities. One Simultaneous Demonic War | Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott

 In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, Landon Schott is joined by Pastor Jaco Booyens (Lead Pastor of Mercy Culture Washington, DC and founder of Jaco Booyens Ministries) and Pastor Marco Leardini (Lead Pastor of Mercy Culture Orange County) to pull back the curtain on what it actually took to plant two Mercy Culture campuses in two cities, in two separate states, on the same day in one year. They share the year-long wrestle behind the public "yes" — the fear, the family mountains that had to be moved, the prophetic confirmations, and the demonic warfare that came on every side the moment they obeyed. From panic attacks and the spirit of Python to drones in the yard, decapitated animals, and the constant battle for spiritual covering, this is a raw, vulnerable conversation about what it really costs to follow the voice of God. If you're stewarding something big the Lord has put on your heart, this episode is a roadmap for hearing Him, getting your house in unity, and standing in faith while the enemy attacks.

From Daughters to Mothers | Lisa Saville | MC East Fort Worth

There’s something powerful that happens when a woman fully surrenders to God. Through every season, every battle, and every unseen sacrifice, He remains faithful. Pastor Lisa Salvia reminded us that God is not just looking for perfection, He’s looking for surrendered hearts that trust Him fully in every season.

This message was a reminder that even in weakness, God’s strength is revealed. He still heals. He still restores. He still speaks. And when women rise up in faith and obedience, generations can be impacted. What a powerful Mother’s Day in the presence of God.

Irrational Obedience | Les Cody | MC Waco

In this historic message, Pastor Les Cody shares a significant and Spirit-led announcement for Mercy Culture Waco, drawing from 1 Corinthians 13 and 2 Kings 4. He walks the congregation through an 18-month journey of prayer, prophetic confirmation, and irrational obedience as he and Pastor Nikki Cody transition to become the lead pastors of Mercy Culture Fort Worth, stepping into a broader apostolic call over all Mercy Culture campuses.

Pastor Les reminds believers that obedience to God never leads to regret, and that what may look like a goodbye is truly an expansion. He challenges the church to trust the Lord and their leadership as this transition is stewarded with prayer, fasting, and the fear of God.

This message also celebrates the announcement of Pastor Sean and Natalie Gleason as the incoming lead pastors of Mercy Culture Waco, declaring that what God has built here will only continue to grow as new containers are brought to the Lord to be filled.

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.

Awaken the Watchmen | Kaily Morrow | MC Austin

In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Pastor Kaily delivers a prophetic call to the Church: it’s time for the watchmen to awaken and take their stand. Through the stories of Jehu, Jezebel, and the biblical role of the watchman, this message confronts spiritual compromise, fear, passivity, and the cultural battles shaping our nation—while calling believers to live awake, holy, and fully surrendered to the voice of God.

This message is a charge to both women and men to recognize their God-given watch post, intercede for their homes, cities, and nation, and steward the vision God has entrusted to them with obedience and faith. As revival and reformation begin to stir, Pastor Kaily reminds us that this is not the hour to sleep—it’s the hour to pray, stand firm, and birth holiness in the earth.

How to Connect with God through Conversation | Les Cody | MC Waco

In this compelling message, Pastor Les Cody explores what it truly means to connect with God through conversation, drawing from Exodus 3 and the story of Moses at the burning bush. He unpacks how conversation with God is not just speaking to Him, it is turning your attention toward Him, listening to what He says, and obeying quickly. Pastor Les challenges believers to stop siloing their relationship with God and to bring Him into every area of life.

Pastor Les reminds believers that God is not afraid of their real and raw conversations, whether those conversations include complaining, anger, sorrow, or doubt. He calls the church to bring their authentic selves before the Lord, because authenticity breaks the power of the enemy and turns the ordinary ground beneath their feet into holy ground.

This message challenges believers to recognize that spiritual maturity happens through conversation with God, because obedience is always decided in the secret place first. Just as the deliverance of Israel was not settled in Pharaoh's palace but in the wilderness conversation between Moses and God, what God wants to do through your life will be settled in the quiet place of honest, humble conversation with Him.

The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

How to Connect with God through Creation | Dehavilland Ford | MC Fort Worth

In this sermon, we explore how creation was designed to point us back to the Creator and how God still speaks through what He made. From Moses and the burning bush to the words of Jesus and the beauty of nature around us, this message reveals how slowing down, paying attention, and inviting God into everyday moments can deepen your relationship with Him. Creation is already worshipping God— the question is, will you join it?

California's Today is America's Tomorrow

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather Schott sits down with pastor, author, and apostolic leader Che Ahn for a bold conversation on revival, reformation, righteousness, and the role of the Church in culture and government. Together they confront the spiritual battle facing America, the call for Christians to stand for truth in a dark culture, and what it means to prepare the way of the Lord in this generation.

Pastor Che shares prophetic moments, personal stories, and decades of wisdom from leading revival movements around the world. This conversation will challenge you to reject compromise, pursue holiness, and become a reformer in your sphere of influence.

Connect With God: Creation | Seth Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, Pastor Seth unpacks a powerful and often misunderstood truth: you can connect with God through creation—but creation was never meant to replace the Creator.

Starting in John 20, where Mary encounters the resurrected Jesus and mistakes Him for a gardener, we see something profound—the first picture of resurrection is found in a garden. This moment reveals that God has always used creation not just as a backdrop, but as a way to reveal Himself and speak to His people.

We break down three core purposes of creation:
Creation testifies of God, glorifies God, and connects us to God. From the precision of the universe to the worship of the heavens, everything in creation points back to Him—not to itself.

At the same time, we confront a growing cultural distortion. In a world where people are turning to astrology, crystals, and “the universe” for guidance, Scripture is clear: when creation leads back to you, it becomes idolatry—but when it leads you to God, it becomes worship.

This message brings both clarity and invitation. If you’ve felt spiritually dry, it may not be distance—it may be that you haven’t discovered how you were designed to connect with God.

You’ll walk away with practical ways to encounter Him in everyday moments—whether you’re on a trail, in your backyard, or simply paying attention. Because God is not silent in creation… the question is: are you listening?
