Mercy Culture

Pentecost Sunday | Zane Anderson | MC Waco

In this compelling message, Pastor Zane Anderson explores the person and power of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, drawing from Acts 2 and John 14. He unpacks the truth that the Holy Spirit is not merely a force or an influence, He is a person with a voice, a will, and a deep desire for intimate relationship with every believer. Pastor Zane challenges the church to stop relating to the Holy Spirit as an occasional experience and to begin walking with Him as a daily companion and friend.
Pastor Zane reminds believers that every Spirit-filled believer already carries all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, because the gifts are not something you receive, they are manifestations that the Spirit releases through you as you make yourself available. He calls the church to stop waiting for someone else to minister and to become the vessel God needs in the marketplace, the grocery store, and the everyday moments of life.
This message challenges believers to activate their spiritual language, because praying in the Spirit is not just for church services, it is the tool that builds up your inner man, keeps you on target in prayer, and prepares you for whatever the day may bring.
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.

One Moment with God Did What 18 Years of Therapy Couldn't

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather Schott sits down with Pastor Sean Gleason for a raw and honest conversation about depression, suicidal thoughts, medication, trauma, healing, and the power of Jesus to restore the mind. Together they confront cultural narratives surrounding mental health, the Church’s response to suffering, and the hope found in surrendering every part of your life to God.

Pastor Sean vulnerably shares his personal testimony of battling suicidal thoughts, searching for answers, and ultimately encountering the healing presence of God. This conversation challenges the Body of Christ to walk in compassion, truth, discernment, and freedom while reminding those who are struggling that they are not alone.

How to Connect with God through Meditation | Sean Gleason | MC Waco

In this powerful message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to connect with God through meditation, drawing from Joshua 1. He unpacks the critical difference between biblical meditation and demonic meditation, revealing that biblical meditation is not about emptying yourself, it is about feasting on the word of God until everything else begins to exit. Pastor Sean challenges believers to choose what they meditate on, because their meditation will determine their direction.
Pastor Sean warns that when believers chew on the lies of the enemy rather than the truth of God, they give the enemy agreement and power over their lives. He calls the church to take every thought captive, not by suppressing it, but by bringing it before Jesus and making it listen to what God says.
This message challenges believers to understand that the prescription for seasons of transition is meditation on the word of God, because what got Israel into the promised land was not their strength, it was their willingness to think about the right things.

Partial Obedience is Rebellion | Aaron Christopherson | MC Dallas

Pastor Aaron unpacks the danger of partial obedience and reveals how rebellion often hides behind selective Christianity. Through the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 15, he confronts the ways believers can justify compromise, resist surrender, and place their will above God’s—while calling the Church back to full obedience, true surrender, and holiness before the Lord.

How to Connect with God through Meditation | Collin Spencer | MC East Fort Worth

The Lord is not looking for casual believers. He is raising up people who are fully surrendered, rooted in truth, and unwilling to compromise.

Collin Spencer reminded us that following Jesus costs something. The Gospel was never meant to fit conveniently into our lives. It calls us to die to ourselves, pursue holiness, and live set apart in a culture that constantly pulls us toward comfort and distraction.

This is the hour for the Church to wake up, return to the Word of God, and burn with real passion for His presence again. Half-hearted Christianity will never sustain you in the days ahead. We need believers filled with conviction, obedience, and the Holy Spirit.

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.
