Mercy Culture

Dedication Sunday | Landon Schott | MC Fort Worth

In this special Mercy Culture service, we steward one of the prophetic words of 2026 of dedicating things to the Lord. We rededicate families, babies, marriages, and lives back to God, as well as ordain new Mercy Culture pastors and install Les and Nikki Cody as elders and celebrate what God is doing across all campuses.

100+ Worship Songs. Not ONE Written in a Studio. | Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott

Mercy Culture has released over 102 worship songs — none of them written in a recording studio. Landon Schott sits down with worship pastors Jasmine Weiler and Treigh Martinez to unpack how every song in their catalog was born out of actual encounters with God: visions at 4am, spontaneous moments in the room, prayers that became melodies. They share the origin stories behind songs like "Names of God," "Fear Go," and "Encounter Song" — and why they believe you can't lead people into something you've never been in yourself.

Heart For Mercy | The Threshing Floor | Landon Schott | MC Fort Worth

This week’s message, The Threshing Floor, centers on 2 Samuel 24 and the powerful truth that sacrifice unlocks mercy. Through the story of David purchasing Araunah’s threshing floor, we’re reminded that true worship costs something — and obedience moves Heaven. As we step into our annual Heart for Mercy offering, this sermon calls us to cheerful, sacrificial giving that reflects our love for God and fuels the vision of Mercy Culture’s ministries. The threshing floor is where costly sacrifice meets holy visitation — and where mercy triumphs over judgment.

Connect with God: Remembrance | Heather Schott | Fort Worth

Connecting With God Through Remembrance

We are in a Year of Encounters & Visitations — an Exodus 3:5 year, a year of Holy Ground. You choose your daily encounter. God chooses your holy visitation.

In this message, we talk about how to connect with God through remembrance. Jesus said, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” When you remember who God is, what He has said, and what He has done, gratitude rises and faith grows.

Remembrance keeps you anchored in truth. It helps you hold onto prophetic words, endure hardship like Joseph, and stay faithful through chaos like Mary. But the enemy also tries to use remembrance against you — pulling you into offense, fear, bitterness, and false narratives.

The question is simple:
What are you choosing to remember?

If you’re struggling with joy, peace, or faith, reconnect with God through remembrance.

Connect with God: Expression | Treigh Martinez | MC Dallas

God is creative—and you were made in His image. In this message, we learn how to connect with God through expression by stewarding the gifts He’s placed in our hands. What you dedicate to Him becomes holy ground.

Connect with God: Compassion | Chris Donald | MC Austin

In this message, Ps. Chris Donald challenges us with a powerful truth: what we encounter with God in private must overflow into public action.

Compassion is not just a feeling. Empathy feels with someone—but compassion moves for someone. Compassion serves. Compassion heals. Compassion saves.

If we encounter God in the secret place but never allow it to shape how we live, love, and serve in public, we’ve only received half the meal. We sat at the table. We were filled. But we did nothing with what we were given.

Private encounters are meant to produce public compassion!

What the Church is TOO afraid to say about RACE | Holy Disruption with Heather Schott

"The moment you begin to consider the pros and cons of speaking truth, you've already stepped into disobedience."

A viral clip. A firestorm. And a church that rushed to post before it even knew the full story. Heather Schott and Jasmine Weiler paused everything to have the conversation most leaders were too afraid to touch — not just about the clip, but about what was actually happening that same week that nobody talked about. But this episode goes deeper than the viral moment. After breaking down the post, Heather and Jasmine go unfiltered on what the church keeps getting wrong about race, unity, and truth-telling under pressure:

→ Why pastors rushed to post — and why that's the problem

→ The same week: Baby Samuel, late-term abortion legalized in 9 states, Epstein files — and the church's silence

→ The cage around leaders' mouths — white and Black

→ "Wink if you're okay" — and what it actually reveals about race

→ Secondhand offense, generational wounds, and the path to real healing

→ Why your post fixes nothing — and what real action looks like This isn't a polished, safe conversation.

It's two women — one white, one Black — refusing to bow to the sound being played to divide the body of Christ. If you're tired of performative unity and want to know what truth-telling actually costs, watch this.

Connect with God: Fasting | Dehavilland Ford | MC East Fort Worth

Pastor Dehavilland teaches that fasting isn’t just giving up food — it’s a spiritual practice of humbling ourselves before God and aligning our hearts with His. True fasting is about seeking God’s presence more than earthly provision, willingly denying the flesh to deepen our intimacy with Christ. It’s a lifestyle of dependence on God, not performance for others, and a way to make space for His voice, break soul attachments to comforts, and grow in spiritual sensitivity. Fasting reveals what truly controls our hearts and draws us into deeper communion with the Source of life.

Connect with God: Remembrance | PS Les Cody | MC Waco

In this message, Pastor Les Cody explores the importance of connecting with God through remembrance, drawing from Luke 22:19. He emphasizes the need to remember what the Bible teaches and to rely on the faithfulness of the Lord, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

Pastor Les warns that biblical forgetfulness is spiritually dangerous. While forgetting God's past actions isn't sin in itself, it opens the door to spiritual warfare. Forgetting leads to drifting away from God.

This message encourages believers to hold fast to the Lord and His promises, whether revealed through Scripture or personally experienced in their lives.

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: Conversation | Seth Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, Ps. Seth dives into the powerful, two-way nature of conversation with God—one of asking, listening, and responding. Reading from 1 Samuel 3:1-10, he reveals that God desires to speak to us and is persistent in doing so. When we are in His presence, hearing His voice becomes easy!
