#744August 26 · 2 hrMy Spiritual Sons
In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather sits down with her own spiritual sons — Sean Gleason, Ray Valdez, Paul Tremble, and Isaac Hector — for one of the most raw and real conversations yet. These are the men she has walked through suicidal ideation, panic attacks, pornography addiction, shame, deliverance, and the long road to freedom. This is what it looks like when a pastor actually builds people, not just a platform.

#743August 25 · 1 hr 7 minUnseating Principalities | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth
Pastor Will Ford declared with clarity that the war is already over — and the Church's assignment is not to fight for victory but to enforce it. Deliverance is never just FROM something; it is always TO Someone — from the penalty of sin, from the power of sin, and from the person of the evil one, every rescue ends in the arms of the Deliverer Himself. We hold delegated authority — exousia — over all the enemy's power, and We unseat principalities not by screaming at them, but by lifting Jesus highest until the lesser spirit has nowhere left to sit. We are planted on the east side of this city where competition has held a seat — and Our answer is unity, lifted up until rivalry has no room left to reign.

It's Time to Awaken the War Horses | Pastor Nikki Cody | MC Waco
In this compelling message, Pastor Nikki Cody explores what it means to be a war horse for God in this hour, drawing from Jeremiah 1 and Revelation 19. She unpacks the truth that truth is not a concept, it is a person, and his name is Jesus Christ. Pastor Nikki challenges believers to stop fighting from a place of defeat and to recognize that the battle has already been won, that the church's assignment is simply to go onto the battlefield and do what God says. Pastor Nikki warns that the enemy's greatest weapon is not the giants in the land but the distraction and fear that keep believers from fixing their gaze on the Rider. She calls the church to stop being moved by emotions, culture, politics, and popular opinion, and to return to an it is written theology rooted in the living word of God. This message challenges believers to understand that war horses are not raised in comfort, they are forged in the fire of hidden seasons, trained in obscurity, and proven through resistance. Just as Jesus rides in on a white horse representing a victory already won, the church must awaken from apathy and become faithful carriers of His truth into every classroom, workplace, and family, bold enough to speak what they know even when culture pushes back. 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, Sean and Natalie Gleason or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com

#741August 24 · 1 hr 9 minDon't Tolerate Jezebel | Les Cody | MC Austin
In this message we learn that, some battles aren't against people — they're against a spirit that manipulates, isolates, and controls until you abandon what God called you to do. In this teaching, we expose the Jezebel spirit: who she was biblically, how she operates today through fear, manipulation, intimidation, and domination, and why Jesus doesn't just confront her — He confronts the church that tolerates her. You'll learn the 10 characteristics of a Jezebel spirit, the two pitfalls that keep believers stuck (failing to discern it, failing to deal with it), and a real, personal testimony of walking out from under Jezebelic control into freedom. We'll unpack the story of Elijah and Jezebel, God's tender restoration of an exhausted prophet, and eight practical strategies for winning this fight — from staying in God's presence to closing the open doors in your own will. This message closes with a prophetic word over Austin: a city caught in a spiritual tug-of-war between chaos and order, control and freedom — and a declaration that Austin belongs to Jesus.

How to Have Healthy Confrontations | Spiritual leadership with Landon Schott
Bad leaders avoid confrontation. Healthy ones lean into it. Landon Schott breaks down why unhealthy cultures — and stalled church growth — almost always trace back to leaders who won't have the hard conversation. He unpacks Mercy Culture's core value of "leaning into awkward," what a real 100% conversation looks like versus an 80% one that just delays the inevitable, and how to tell the difference between confrontation you can handle on the fly and one that needs prayer and preparation first. He also answers questions on gender and confrontation, processing with your spouse without it becoming gossip, and how to rebuild trust after a conversation that didn't go well. If you lead people — in your home, your team, or your church — this episode will show you why the wake behind your leadership matters, and how to make sure it's trust, not damage.

Spiritual Warfare: Rebellion: The Introduction To Witchcraft
Rebellion is saying "no" to God — and Scripture is clear: rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (1 Samuel 15:23). In this message, Pastor Landon unpacks the story of Israel's twelve spies in Numbers 13-14, showing how a nation focused on giants instead of God missed the Promised Land entirely. He breaks down what rebellion really is, where it started, how it shows up in our homes and culture today, and why submission — not fear, not striving — is the strategy that breaks its back. Rebellion will not enter the promises of God. Submission breaks the back of rebellion.

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Jasmine Weiler and Pastor Heather sit down with worship leader Bailey Redmond for Reformation in Worship Part 2 — an honest, unfiltered conversation about celebrity culture in the church, the machine behind the modern "worship industry," and what it actually costs to stay pure in a platform-driven generation. Bailey opens up about her journey from missionary in LAUSD high schools to worship leader, the spiritual parents who told her "if you never sing another song again, we'd still love you," and why covering, submission, and the fear of the Lord are the only things that keep a gift from destroying the person carrying it.

Family Anointing Service | MC Waco
In this special Family Anointing Sunday message, Pastor Les Cody challenges parents, grandparents, and the entire church to spiritually prepare their families for the year ahead, drawing from Deuteronomy 6. He unpacks the truth that the word of God and the presence of God are meant to permeate every part of life, not just Sunday mornings, and that parents cannot deposit into their children what they have not first received themselves. Pastor Les calls families to stop compartmentalizing God and to make Him the center of how they raise their children, manage their marriages, and conduct their everyday lives. Pastor Les reminds parents that the goal of raising children is not to protect them from darkness but to prepare them to carry the light into it. He challenges fathers to spiritually lead their homes, encourages mothers to intercede faithfully, and calls every member of the congregation, whether parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or single believer, to pick up the burden of the next generation and pray, mentor, and invest in them. This message closes with a powerful time of prayer and anointing over families, students, and children as the congregation prepares to enter a new school year, believing that their children have not been sent out to survive but to be sent as carriers of the presence and glory of God. 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.

What if God asked you to lay down everything you built? These pastors did exactly that — and it changed everything.

If God is stirring something in your heart about the next season of your ministry or your life — this episode is for you.

#731August 4 · 46 minIntercession | Dehavilland Ford | MC Austin
In this message, Pastor Dehavilland unpacks Jesus' teaching on the Lord's Prayer, revealing that intercession is more than bringing requests before God. It's learning to pray from God's heart, aligning our lives with His will, and becoming people who stand in the gap for others. As you journey through Matthew 6, you'll discover that prayer isn't just something we do—it's an invitation into deeper intimacy with the Father and participation in His Kingdom on the earth. Whether you're new to prayer or have been walking with the Lord for years, this message will challenge, encourage, and equip you to grow in a lifestyle of powerful, Spirit-led intercession.

1st Service Presbytery Sunday | PS Sean Gleason | MC Waco
In this special Presbytery Sunday service, Pastor Sean Gleason leads Mercy Culture Waco through a powerful time of prophetic ministry, drawing from 1 Timothy 4 and Acts 13. He unpacks what presbytery is, explaining that it is a council of mature spiritual leaders who prayerfully and prophetically affirm the calling of God on a person's life through the laying on of hands and prophetic ministry. Pastor Sean reminds the congregation that prophecy is not reserved for a select few, but that every believer can hear the voice of God and that prophetic words from leaders serve to confirm what God has already been speaking in your personal daily encounters. Through visiting pastors Brandon and Nellie from the Fort Worth campus, the church witnessed powerful prophetic ministry over several individuals and couples, with words centered on faithfulness, fruitfulness, the removal of fear and hesitation, intercession, boldness, and the call to step forward into what God has already prepared. The congregation also received a corporate prophetic word declaring that a new wineskin and new wine are coming to Waco, a season of soul winning, more oil, more presence, and a greater hunger to share the gospel with the city. 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.

2nd Service Presbytery Sunday | PS Sean Gleason | MC Waco
In this special Presbytery Sunday service, Pastor Sean Gleason leads Mercy Culture Waco through a powerful time of prophetic ministry, drawing from 1 Timothy 4 and Acts 13. Visiting pastors Brandon and Nellie Grulé from the Fort Worth campus minister prophetic words over several individuals, couples, and the congregation, with themes of faithfulness, fruitfulness, clarity, new seasons, and the courage to step into calling. Pastor Sean reminds the church that prophetic words from leaders serve to confirm what God has already been speaking in the secret place of your daily encounters. Through words submitted over individuals and couples, the congregation witnessed powerful prophetic ministry centered on stepping forward in calling, the removal of fear and white noise in daily encounters, the breathing of new life into dry and weary places, and the Lord publicly honoring faithfulness that had gone unseen. The Waco campus also received a corporate prophetic word declaring that a new wineskin is required for the new wine being poured out, that more oil, more souls, and more victory are coming to the city, and that a season of soul winning and hunger for the gospel is at hand.
