Mobilized Church Podcast

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.

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...

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we explore how Jesus created a culture where the mission wasn’t a task to complete—it was an impulse flowing from the heart. His followers didn’t have to be convinced to reach others; their lives naturally pointed people toward Him. Jesus built a community where everything—conversations, relationships, daily rhythms—carried a missional undercurrent. It wasn’t strategy-driven; it was ...

Fear isn’t a flaw—it’s a natural response to power. In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we take a closer look at how fear shapes our lives and why the answer isn’t to eliminate it, but to redirect it toward the One who truly deserves it.

From the fear of failure to the fear of rejection, we all face things that feel bigger than us. But Scripture invites us to live with a different kind of fear—the fear of the Lord—a hol...

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we dive into the tension between progress and perfection. As leaders, we often have a vision for the ideal, but that vision can hinder our ability to see and appreciate the steps that continuously move us toward that ideal. How do we stay passionate about the ultimate goal while celebrating small wins along the way?

We share our personal journeys and how they’ve shaped our passion for...

Opposition is inevitable when the Church moves forward in the power of the Spirit. In Acts 4, the early believers faced intense resistance—but instead of retreating, they pushed back with kingdom principles that turned the tide.

 Key Takeaways:

Have you ever felt stuck between where you were and where God was calling you—like you stepped out in faith, but the destination wasn’t clear? That space of uncertainty, discomfort, and transformation is what we call liminality—and it’s not just a challenge, it’s a necessary stage in God’s process of forming disciples and mobilizing the Church.

In this episode, we explore how liminality is woven throughout Scripture—from Abraham’s j...

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we explore the transformative journey of following Jesus—not just as a belief system, but as a way of life.
