  • Battle Ready Part 2

    In this episode of Culture Keys, Pastor Ronnie Harrison begins unpacking Paul’s powerful teaching on the Armor of God by looking at the structure of the entire book of Ephesians.

    Written from prison to believers living in the spiritually dark and idol-filled city of Ephesus, Paul’s letter prepares the church to stand strong in the middle of intense spiritual opposition.

    Ephesians reveals a clear progression for every believer:

    The WORK of God in us (Ephesians 1–3)

    The WALK that flows from that work (Ephesians 4–5)

    The WARFARE we face as we follow Christ (Ephesians 6)

    Paul’s final instruction is clear:

    “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”

    God has already provided the armor—but it is our responsibility to put it on. When we neglect pieces of that armor, we leave areas of our lives exposed to the enemy’s attacks.

    In this episode, Pastor Ronnie begins with the Belt of Truth, the foundational piece that holds all the other armor in place. Without truth, we cannot discern the enemy’s lies or stand firm in spiritual battle.

    🎧 Join Pastor Ronnie Harrison as we learn how to stand strong, walk in God’s truth, and live victoriously in the spiritual warfare every believer faces.

  • Battle Ready

    In this episode of Culture Keys, Pastor Ronnie Harrison begins a powerful look at Ephesians 6:10–18 and the call for believers to put on the full armor of God.

    We are living in urgent times, and Scripture makes it clear that the life of a believer is not passive—it is spiritual warfare. The enemy is working with urgency to weaken the resolve of God’s people and target the next generation. Because of that, God has provided armor for His people.

    Pastor Ronnie challenges us to examine how we approach the battle. Some believers are unaware of the armor, others refuse to wear it, and some wear only part of it—leaving areas of their lives exposed. But those who understand and daily appropriate the whole armor of God learn to stand strong and thrive even in the midst of conflict.

    This message is a call to prepare, fortify, and live with spiritual vigilance.

    You can wear your struggle…or you can wear your armor.

    🎧 Join Pastor Ronnie Harrison as we begin learning how to stand strong and walk in the protection God has already provided.

  • Spiritual Check-Up IV

    In this episode of Culture Keys, Pastor Ronnie Harrison challenges us to rethink how we view our everyday work.

    Too often, we separate the sacred from the secular—but the truth is, whatever job you do is a holy calling and a responsibility given by God to serve Him right where you are.

    You don’t have to be in “full-time ministry” to live a life of full-time Christianity. Your workplace is your assignment, your platform, and your opportunity to partner with God in a real and meaningful way.

    This episode pushes us to ask a powerful question:

    What gives our work value to God?

    If you’ve ever wondered how your career, job, or daily responsibilities fit into God’s purpose for your life, this conversation will challenge and reframe your perspective.

    🎧 Join Pastor Ronnie Harrison as he calls us to live with purpose, serve with intention, and partner with God—right where we are.

  • Spiritual Check-Up III

    In this episode of Culture Keys (#207), Pastor Ronnie Harrison continues the challenge of leading ourselves well by taking a spiritual check-up of our lives and priorities.

    Jesus made our priorities clear in Matthew 22:37–40: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind—and love your neighbor as yourself. While loving God may feel natural, loving our neighbor—especially when it’s inconvenient or difficult—can be one of the greatest tests of our faith.

    Pastor Ronnie explores the true meaning of biblical love, rooted in the Greek word “agape,” which is not based on emotion but on the will to act in another person’s best interest. Through the teachings of Jesus and the example of the early church, we are reminded that genuine love is not just spoken—it is demonstrated through compassion, sacrifice, and action.

    If we are serious about following Christ, we must ask ourselves an honest question:

    Are we loving well?

    🎧 Join Pastor Ronnie Harrison as he challenges us to see people through the eyes of Christ and live out a love that is real, practical, and transformative.

  • Spiritual Check-Up II

    In this episode of Culture Keys, Pastor Ronnie Harrison challenges us to take a spiritual check-up and learn one of the most important leadership lessons: you must learn to lead yourself well.

    Our first and greatest leadership responsibility is not to others—but to ourselves. Through spiritual disciplines like prayer, worship, studying God’s Word, giving, and serving, we begin to order our steps and shape the person we are becoming.

    Pastor Ronnie reminds us that the future we want tomorrow must be built by the decisions we make today. That’s why priorities matter. Jesus made the greatest priority clear in Matthew 22:37–40: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind—and love your neighbor as yourself.

    But we cannot truly love God unless we know Him. In this episode, we explore how knowing God through Jesus, Scripture, and the work of the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts and produces a growing love for both God and others.

    If you want to grow in your walk with Christ, lead yourself well, and align your life with the priorities of the Kingdom, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

    Question to consider:

    Where have other pursuits watered down your pursuit of God?

Throughout this series, Pastor Ronnie Harrison has lifted key statements from Paul’s letter to the Church at Ephesus—turning them into challenges designed to mature the Body and sharpen our focus for the year ahead.

    In this episode, we land on a defining call:

    “Live as children of light.”

    Jesus is the Light of the world—and those who follow Him are called to walk in the light, shine the light, and refuse the darkness. From that foundation, Paul gives a series of final challenges that shape a life that truly honors God:

    🔑 Find out what pleases the Lord

    🔑 Walk wisely and intentionally

    🔑 Make the most of every opportunity

  • Worthy of Well Done Part 2

    How you begin matters. The thoughts you think and the decisions you make at the start of a season often determine how it unfolds.

    In this episode, Pastor Ronnie Harrison leads us to Ephesians 4–6, unpacking powerful challenges from the Apostle Paul that call every believer to intentional growth and spiritual maturity. Paul sets a bold expectation: “We will grow.”Not partially—but in every aspect of our lives.

    This message challenges us to:

    Live a life worthy of our calling

    Move from spiritual adolescence to maturity

    Embrace both the work God is doing in us and the work He wants to do through us

    Understand our responsibility and assignment in the Body of Christ

    Growth doesn’t happen by accident. Maturity requires intention, obedience, and action.

    The question isn’t if you’ll grow—but whether you’re willing to do the work growth demands.

  • Jesus’ Team-Building Secrets

    In this powerful episode of Culture Keys, Pastor Ronnie wraps up his multi-week journey through the way Jesus recruited, shaped, and released His disciples into world-changing Kingdom assignment. From the moment Jesus said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men,” He was imparting a blueprint for missional discipleship—one that still applies to every believer today.

    Pastor Ronnie breaks down how Jesus took ordinary men and built them into a team that shook the earth:

    He excited them, grounded them, transformed them, and ultimately released them. And that final step—RELEASE—is the true test of every leader.

    Drawing from John 17, Pastor Ronnie shows how Jesus prepared His disciples to be sent, not simply taught. True discipleship always leads to action, multiplication, and impact.

    You’ll learn how Jesus:

    • Turned every follower into a recruiter of souls

    • Released the genius inside each person

    • Kept the mission simple, clear, and powerful

    • Expected every disciple to become a “fisher of men”

    This episode will challenge you to move from merely learning to operating, from sitting to being sent, and from being developed to developing others.

    If you’re ready to step into your assignment and carry the Kingdom into your world—this episode is for you.

  • Empowered for More

    In this episode, Pastor Ronnie highlights the transformative nature of Jesus’ ministry. Christ didn’t improve people—He recreated them. He wasn’t interested in religious “transactions,” quick fixes, or superficial exchanges; He was after deep, relational transformation that turns ordinary followers into world changers.

    You’ll learn how Jesus reshaped His disciples’ entire paradigm, even flipping the pyramid of religious hierarchy into a Kingdom circle where every believer is empowered. From the woman at the well to the calling of the Twelve, Jesus modeled a discipleship that was relational, empowering, costly—and life-altering.

    If you’re hungry for true spiritual growth, deeper discipleship, and a clearer understanding of Kingdom leadership, this episode will stir you, challenge you, and call you into transformation—not just participation.
