Mobilized Church Podcast

In this episode, we unpack Paul’s warning that sin can twist even God’s holy law into a base of operations for pride, hypocrisy, and rebellion. Romans 7:8–9 shows how the commandment meant for life can awaken hidden desires and expose self-deception. But the final verdict is clear: the law points us to our desperate need for Christ.

Discover how grace and truth in Jesus pierce beneath the surface, strip away self-confidence, and emp...

In this episode, we explore the power of recovering a sense of awe in Jesus. The Gospels are filled with people marveling at Him—and that same wonder is meant to shape our lives today. Wonder isn’t optional; it renews hope, interrupts anxiety, widens the scope of faith, and re-centers us in worship.

We’ll talk about how leaders and believers alike can lose sight of wonder through busyness and over-familiarity—and how to rediscover i...

Many churches treat evangelism and discipleship as two separate steps, but Jesus gave one seamless mission: make disciples. In this episode, we unpack the Great Commission in its original language, explore how Jesus modeled disciple-making before His followers fully believed, and clarify the difference between discipleship (becoming like Jesus) and disciple-making (helping others begin and continue that journey). You’ll discover ho...

The headlines about the church in America often focus on decline—but that’s not the whole story. The numbers have steadied from the post-COVID freefall, and in many places, congregations are seeing attendance and engagement rebound. But here’s the real question: Are we satisfied that the decline has slowed, or are we ready to measure how much we’re actually gaining?

In this episode, Ken and Kris unpack the latest national and denomi...

Jesus didn’t just preach to crowds—He built a whole missional ecosystem. In this episode, we unpack how His model moved fluidly from the multitudes to meals in homes, from the 70 He sent out to the 12 He discipled closely, all the way down to one-on-one encounters.

Discover how crowds, communities, small groups, and personal engagement each play a vital role in Kingdom mission—and why we need the whole transmission, not just one gea...

It’s our 5-year anniversary episode—and we’re looking back with fresh eyes and honest hearts. In this special edition of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we ask ourselves: If we had to start over... what would we do differently?

From launching the podcast to leading in local church contexts, from discipleship models to team culture, we reflect on our biggest lessons learned, where we missed it, and what we would adjust if we had a blan...

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we unpack the article “An Exploration of Missional Expressions in an Age of Skepticism.” As cultural trust in Christianity declines and indifference replaces curiosity, the Church finds itself at a crossroads—much like the early believers in Acts 28:22, who were “spoken against everywhere.”

We explore how this cultural shift is not just a challenge but a Spirit-led opportunity for bol...

Bitterness doesn’t show up overnight — it brews slowly in the wounded places of our soul.

In this episode, we explore how bitterness forms, how it disguises itself, and why it poisons everything it touches.

Whether it’s past church hurt, personal betrayal, or unhealed disappointment, we’ll walk through how to identify bitterness, bring it into the light, and let Jesus heal the wounded spirit underneath.

This is an episode for anyone w...

In this unplanned but timely episode, Ken & Kris take a detour from their scheduled topic to explore a powerful truth: everyone has a backstory. Whether it's pain, struggle, hope, or transformation—there’s always more beneath the surface.

Centered around the idea that “stories tell the story,” this conversation dives into the role of personal history in shaping how people receive (or resist) the message of Jesus. The better...

Fear is the silent master holding back far too many believers.

In this episode, we unpack why courage isn’t a personality trait — it’s a discipleship journey. You’ll learn how to identify the places where fear is calling the shots, how to let the Spirit form real courage in you, and practical steps to start living a bold, mobilized life today.

If you’re ready to stop playing small and start following Jesus bravely, this one’s for you...

In a culture that celebrates hustle, productivity, and packed schedules, it's easy to mistake motion for meaning. But what happens when you're doing all the right things outwardly—serving, working, leading—yet feel spiritually dry, emotionally disconnected, or inwardly empty?

In this episode, we explore the sobering reality of being busy but barren. We'll unpack how a neglected inner life can undermine even the most a...

Your gift may be impressive — but your character is what makes you trustworthy. In this episode, we unpack the painful but necessary truth: you can be anointed and immature at the same time. We’ll explore how to recognize signs of character gaps, the cost of immaturity in leadership, and practical steps to disciple the parts of us that gifting can’t fix. If you want to go further with God, this episode will help you grow deeper fir...

In this episode, we explore the often misunderstood phrase from 1 John, "you have no need that anyone should teach you." What does it really mean for believers to be taught by God? Does this diminish the role of teachers and leaders in the church? We dig into the rich context of Christian discipleship, looking at how the indwelling Word, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and God's grace work together to form a spirit...

In this episode, we explore the spiritual landscape of the early church and its approach to demons, darkness, and deliverance. While Jesus’s ministry was marked by frequent and visible power encounters with demonic forces, the New Testament Church took a noticeably different approach—rooted in truth, identity, and bold obedience.

We’ll examine how Jesus’s authority shaped the early church’s understanding of spiritual warfare, why th...

We all wrestle with the tension: If I’m serving God, shouldn’t life go better? In this episode, we explore what faith really is, what lies at the center of it, and why our motivation to follow Jesus must go deeper than just the blessings we hope for. When things don’t go our way, how do we stay anchored? Join us for a raw, honest conversation about trusting Jesus not for what He gives—but because of who He is, what He’s done, and t...
