Pastor Will Ford’s sermon, It’s Time to Level Up, calls Mercy Culture East Fort Worth and the body of Christ to recognize that the year of Radical Love has prepared the church for greater spiritual authority and responsibility. Using David and the Cave of Adullam, he teaches that seasons of distress are often God’s training ground, transforming broken people into mature sons and daughters who can carry authority for others. Pastor Will contrasts immature, self-centered leadership with fathered, entrusted authority, emphasizing that true promotion flows from intimacy with God and a willingness to take responsibility. He challenges the church to stop despising small beginnings, stand for what God has entrusted to them, and “get God into” families, cities, and systems, declaring that the church is coming out of this season transformed, united, and ready to level up together.
In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, host Landon Schott sits down with Tim Barton, President of Wall Builders, to dive deep into the complex and often misunderstood topic of Christian nationalism.

Pastor Clay teaches that obedience is not pressure but spiritual nourishment, the very thing that sustained Jesus. The message calls us out of Western-driven striving and into a life formed by daily encounters, humility, repentance, and saying yes to God in the small things.

In Pastor Dehavilland Ford’s message, Abiding Through Radical Love, she teaches that vision is sustained not by striving or production, but by abiding deeply in Christ, drawing from Jesus’ words in John 15:1–11. Preaching in the context of shaking—both personal and global—she frames abiding as the essential posture for believers in seasons of pruning, pressure, and promise. Using the metaphor of the vine, branches, and vinedresser, Pastor Dehavilland explains that pruning is not punishment but preparation, designed by God to produce lasting fruit. She contrasts striving with abiding through the story of Martha and Mary, emphasizing that fruitfulness flows from intimacy, not busyness, and that being known by God comes from remaining in His presence rather than performing for Him. Ultimately, the message calls believers to rest in radical love, remain connected to Christ in times of testing, and trust that true fruit is produced by staying close to the Source, not by controlling outcomes or competing with others.
In this message, Radical Authority, Ps. Kaily addressed that in the place of radical love, you receive radical authority. We know that in order to walk in authority, you must first know Jesus and be known by Him. It is so important that we radically love Jesus more than the radical authority He gives us. The enemy is terrified when Christians today walk in authority, because once you radically love God, nothing can take that love away—and a greater level of authority is released to you.
In this message, Lauren Caldwell shares how radically loving God means being led by His presence rather than personal preference. Using John 15:5-11 as the foundation, this message reveals that true fruitfulness and joy come only from abiding in Him.
Lauren challenges listeners to examine where comfort, control, and fear may be replacing daily dependence on God. Through Scripture and testimony, this message calls believers to repentance, obedience, and a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit by choosing presence over preference and producing lasting spiritual fruit.
