This episode centers on the theme “Multiply,” teaching that whatever flows from a person’s heart—through words, attitudes, and actions—is a seed that will eventually produce a corresponding harvest in their life and relationships. Drawing from Proverbs, the Gospels, and Paul’s letters, the sermon emphasizes heart-level transformation over behavior management, encouraging listeners to seek personal repentance, ongoing dependence on Christ, and patience as new, godly seeds take time to bear fruit. The speaker explains that change is often invisible at first and may not be immediately recognized by others, but perseverance in sowing righteousness will lead to a different harvest in due season. Ultimately, the message calls believers to generously sow good seeds in every area of life, trust God with the outcome, and resist complacency by continually allowing God to do “new things” in the heart.
This podcast episode centers on biblical discipleship expressed through intentional community, emphasizing that following Jesus goes beyond knowledge to lived obedience practiced with one another. Drawing from the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and the early church in Acts 2, the speaker highlights shared devotion to teaching, fellowship, meals, prayer, generosity, and mutual care as the core markers of a healthy Christian community. The episode challenges isolation and consumer-style church participation, calling listeners to open their lives to others, meet real needs through proximity and vulnerability, and actively practice the “one another” commands of Scripture—loving, encouraging, confessing, serving, and stirring each other toward good works. Ultimately, the message reinforces that God brings growth, while believers are responsible for faithfully loving and discipling those already in their orbit through everyday, Spirit-led relationships.
In this episode, Sam continues the Multiply series by emphasizing that true discipleship means not only following Jesus personally but actively participating in the work of ministry everywhere believers live, work, and relate. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and 2 Corinthians 5, the message centers on identity in Christ—highlighting that every believer is called to the ministry of reconciliation and equipped to help build up the body of Christ. The episode explores spiritual maturity as being rooted in Jesus rather than shaped by circumstances, stresses the importance of speaking truth in love, and encourages identity-based transformation over mere behavior change. Practical insights from habit formation reinforce the call to align daily life, community, and small consistent actions with the new identity believers have as new creations in Christ.
This episode of the Mountain Podcast centers on the biblical call to “multiply,” drawing from Genesis 1, Matthew 28, and Luke 10 to emphasize that every believer is called not only to follow Jesus but to actively make disciples through love, obedience, and everyday faithfulness. Samuel explains that spiritual fruitfulness is a natural result of a healthy relationship with God and challenges listeners to move beyond passive consumption of church services into intentional participation in the Great Commission—praying for others, sharing faith, practicing obedience, and showing compassion in practical ways. Through teachings on discipleship, humility, and the Good Samaritan, the message reframes multiplication as living out Christlike love in daily life, trusting God to reshape priorities, prune distractions, and mobilize believers to serve their families, workplaces, and communities with grace and courage.
In this episode, Samuel Goulet teaches on biblical faithfulness, emphasizing that our ability to remain steady, obedient, and reliable flows first from God’s own faithfulness toward us. Drawing from Habakkuk 2 and the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25), he explains that faithfulness is not driven by emotion or ambition, but by patient trust, endurance, and responsible stewardship of what God has given—whether much or little. Samuel highlights fear as one of the greatest obstacles to faithfulness, showing how fear sabotages obedience and intimacy with God, while perfect love casts it out. The message ultimately calls listeners to resist fear, remain rooted in God’s ways rather than cultural pressures, and live lives marked by consistent, weight-bearing faith that reflects the character of Christ.
This episode of The Mountain Podcast centers on Psalm 23 and explores how God leads people into transformation through stillness rather than busyness. The pastor contrasts modern, hurried life with God’s “old ways,” explaining that spiritual growth, healing, and identity formation happen when we trust God as Shepherd, surrender personal desire, and allow Him to lead us beside “still waters.” Drawing from neuroscience, personal testimony, and Scripture, the message emphasizes silence, reflection, and long‑term obedience as essential for integrating life’s pain, loss, and conflict with God’s presence—especially in seasons like the “valley of the shadow of death”—ultimately inviting listeners to rest, trust, and receive restoration rather than react or rush.
This episode teaches that following Jesus means embracing the narrow way—a path of humility, pruning, and sacrifice where God uses pressure to form Christlike character. Through Scripture and personal stories, it shows the narrow place as preparation, not punishment, calling believers to release even past blessings, trust God fully, and grow in prayer, mission, and love for others.
This episode explores the biblical concept of the “secret place,” emphasizing intentional solitude and prayer as the primary arena where identity as sons and daughters of God is formed, drawing from Matthew 6 and Psalms to show that true spiritual transformation does not happen in public, but in hidden communion with the Father. The speaker contrasts modern culture’s fixation on noise, self‑promotion, emotional validation, and constant stimulation with God’s invitation to silence, obedience, and submission, teaching that the secret place is not for self‑care or emotional relief, but for dying to self and becoming like Christ. Through personal stories, Scripture, historical Christian voices, and psychological research, the episode argues that freedom from fear, clarity of calling, and spiritual authority are birthed through faithful, disciplined time alone with God, where trust is built, idols are dismantled, and God’s will takes precedence over personal feelings or ambition
This episode emphasizes that true wholeness in Christ comes through surrender, not self‑preservation, using the image of a grain of wheat that must die to produce fruit. Contrasting modern culture’s focus on comfort, visibility, and control, the message calls listeners to embrace hiddenness, weakness, and obedience as the place where God brings real transformation, teaching that growth often comes not through changed circumstances but through trusting God’s grace to form us as we give our lives fully to Him.
In this episode, Samuel Goulet explores the contrast between modern culture’s focus on personal desire and the enduring biblical call to self-denial and obedience to God. He emphasizes that true Christian living is rooted in surrendering personal will to God’s eternal ways, rather than shaping faith around individual preferences or consumerism. Drawing from scripture, Goulet discusses how identity, relationships, and even church practices should be defined by God’s will, not self-fulfillment, and encourages listeners to apply these principles in marriage, family, and daily life. The episode concludes with a call to prayer, inviting the audience to consecrate their relationships and resources to God, seeking humility, grace, and a deeper walk of faith. [Document 4 | Word]
Vanity, Vapor, and the Voice of God explores how the wisdom of Ecclesiastes reframes our understanding of life’s pursuits and burdens, revealing them as fleeting “mist” compared to the eternal significance found in God’s love and commandments. Through personal stories and biblical reflection, Samuel Goulet encourages listeners to let go of anxiety and misplaced priorities, urging them to build their lives on the enduring foundation of spiritual connection rather than temporary achievements. The episode invites listeners to embrace a lighter, purpose-driven year by focusing on loving God and others, and finding true satisfaction in the voice and presence of God.
In this episode of The Mountain Podcast, Jebron Thompson shares a heartfelt sermon centered on the story of blind Bartimaeus from Mark 10, emphasizing the power of faith and the importance of recognizing and addressing spiritual "blind spots" in our lives. He encourages listeners to boldly seek Jesus for healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—highlighting that faith comes by hearing the word of God and acting on it. Jebron also expresses gratitude for the church community, acknowledges the dedication of volunteers and leaders, and calls for prayer and support for pastors and those in need. The episode concludes with an invitation for listeners to respond in faith, receive prayer, and experience personal breakthrough through Jesus.
This episode explores the theme of "being the head and not the tail," drawing from Deuteronomy 28 to encourage listeners to shift from a mindset of bondage and subservience to one of leadership and obedience to God. Samuel emphasizes that blessings follow faithful submission and obedience, contrasting the generational effects of living in freedom versus captivity. Practical examples illustrate how spiritual and financial freedom can be cultivated over time, impacting future generations. The episode closes with a call to embrace obedience, patience, and a lifestyle distinct from worldly patterns, trusting that God equips and blesses those who follow His ways.
This episode focuses on the themes of transition and impartation in the spiritual journey, using the biblical stories of Elijah, Elisha, and Gehazi to illustrate how walking with God leads to seasons of change, growth, and responsibility. The speaker emphasizes the importance of moving from being a spiritual son or daughter to becoming a spiritual parent, imparting wisdom and anointing to others. Through examples from 1 Kings and 2 Kings, the message highlights obedience, humility, and the dangers of pride and transactional thinking, ultimately calling listeners to embrace a life of daily surrender and contentment in godliness rather than seeking personal gain or recognition.
This podcast episode captures the inaugural service in a new church building, where Samuel Goulet expresses deep gratitude for the community’s support and God’s faithfulness. Drawing from the biblical stories of David and Solomon, the message emphasizes the importance of knowing God intimately and serving Him wholeheartedly, not just intellectually or emotionally. The episode encourages listeners to consecrate their lives and worship spaces to God, to walk in humility, and to embrace forgiveness and wholeness through Jesus. It concludes with a communal act of taking communion, inviting everyone to experience redemption and restoration as a church family.
In this episode of The Mountain Podcast, Samuel Goulet reflects on the church’s journey through building transitions and emphasizes that the true foundation of the Mountain Church is God’s enduring love. Drawing from John 3:16 and Romans 8, he explores how God’s love is the central narrative connecting generations, offering daily salvation and freedom rather than condemnation. Goulet encourages listeners to embrace spiritual maturity by prioritizing love over displays of power, highlighting that love is the lasting force that sustains faith, community, and personal growth. The episode concludes with a prayer for a revival of love within the church and its membersTh
In this sermon from The Mountain Church, the pastor examines the Elijah-Elisha narrative to reveal how God breaks isolation through generosity and service. He highlights that Elisha—a successful farmer with no religious background—responded to God's calling by immediately abandoning his livelihood, sacrificing his oxen, and humbly serving Elijah before becoming a prophet himself. The core message emphasizes that God's anointing first leads to serving others rather than authority, encouraging listeners to find mentors, gain wisdom through humble service, and embrace Jesus's model of leadership as foot-washing rather than power-wielding.
In this episode, Samuel Goulet emphasizes the importance of anchoring prayer in biblical understanding and practice, using the imagery of the upper room to illustrate the significance of waiting upon the Lord and praying according to God's will rather than personal desires. He highlights how the transformative power of waiting and prayer refines and prepares individuals for the fulfillment of God's promises, drawing parallels between the disciples' experience and the process of spiritual growth. Samuel encourages listeners to pursue a prayer life that seeks God's will, fostering personal transformation and a deeper connection with the divine. [ivoox.com]

He offers practical advice for scheduling solitude, highlighting how spiritual growth unfolds as we consistently seek God in the secret place, ultimately calling listeners to cultivate spiritual maturity by knowing God personally and pressing on even when it feels awkward or difficult.

In this episode of The Mountain Podcast, Samuel Goulet continues on week 5 on the theme of “Design & Purpose,” emphasizing that every believer is made to share Christ with others. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, he explains that receiving Christ naturally leads to giving Christ, and that the love of Jesus should be the controlling force in our lives, freeing us from fear, resentment, and selfishness. Samuel outlines five practical ways to live out this calling—intercession, evangelism, counsel, edification, and restoration—encouraging listeners to be active ministers of reconciliation, to build up and restore others, and to let the love of Christ mobilize them to serve and impact those around them.
