Number 1: S7E36 - Church Planting, Discipleship & the Grace to Be Holy. With Ken Fish, Jimmy Seibert & Joel Taylor
Church Planting, Discipleship & the Grace to Be Holy | Ken Fish, Jimmy Seibert & Joel Taylor Ken Fish and Joel Taylor welcome back Jimmy Seibert—leader of Antioch Waco and the Antioch Movement, one of the most effective church-planting movements in the Western world, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ Jimmy shares how the movement grew out of a full surrender as a young believer and a conviction that the local church is meant to both house and multiply the glory of God. The conversation ranges across world evangelization, why believers buy the lie that they aren't needed, and how partnering with God to reach every people group helps prepare the way for Christ's return. At its heart, it's about intimacy with God as the source of everything—"it takes God to do the work of God"—and why consecration and holiness are themselves a grace: power over sin, not just forgiveness of it. In this conversation:How the Antioch church-planting movement grew out of full surrender"A church for every 1,000 people"—and why the US is underservedWhy the enemy's great lie is that you're not neededPartnering with God to "hasten" Christ's return (Matthew 24:14)Reaching the next generation through heart, home, and shared missionDiscipleship that empowers rather than creates dependenceMaturity as taking responsibility for your own walk with GodConsecration and holiness as grace—power over sin, not just forgivenessWhy you can't set others free until you've been set freeRegister for Luminosity 📅 October 1–3, 2026 | Nashville Area (Bethel World Outreach Church)❤️‍🩹 Healing Service: September 30 at Franklin Vineyard 🎟️ Register today: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ Connect with Orbis Ministries 🙏 Prayer: https://orbisprayer.org/ ❤️ Give: https://subsplash.com/orbisministries/give Grow with Orbis 📖 Read: On the Road with the Holy Spirit by Ken Fish 🎓 Learn: Enroll in Orbis School of Ministry or contact Registrar Jo McKay at [email protected] 💪 Train: Apply to serve on an upcoming overseas ministry trip. 🤝 Connect: Join Ken's private Facebook discussion group, God Is Not a Theory.

Number 2: S7E35 - Living Your Faith Out Loud: Consecration and Courage in the Face of Culture. With Ken Fish, Casey Harper & Joel Taylor
What does it take to live your faith out loud in a culture that resists it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with Casey Harper—D.C. journalist, host of The Outstanding Podcast, managing editor for broadcast at The Washington Stand, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ From his vantage point between the White House and the Capitol, Casey shares his journey from small-town East Texas to the front lines of faith and public life. Together the three explore a recovered theology of persecution "for righteousness' sake," why a healthy faith must be able to stand even when the church is weak, the difference between partisanship and faithful engagement in the public square, and how personal consecration builds the fortitude to do the right thing under pressure. It all ties back to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and Casey's striking word from Joel 3: "consecrate for war," a call to spiritual preparation, not violence. In this conversation:Casey's journey from East Texas to faith and public life in D.C.What makes living your faith "out loud" so challenging todayRecovering a theology of being "persecuted for righteousness' sake"Why a mature faith can stand alone—without abandoning communityPartisanship vs. politics in the public squareHow consecration builds inner fortitude"Consecrate for war" (Joel 3)—preparation for the days aheadThe example of Perpetua and the great cloud of witnessesHope for a generation looking for something realRegister for Luminosity 📅 October 1–3, 2026 | Nashville Area (Bethel World Outreach Church)❤️‍🩹 Healing Service: September 30 at Franklin Vineyard 🎟️ Register today: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ Connect with Orbis Ministries 🙏 Prayer: https://orbisprayer.org/ ❤️ Give: https://subsplash.com/orbisministries/give Grow with Orbis 📖 Read: On the Road with the Holy Spirit by Ken Fish 🎓 Learn: Enroll in Orbis School of Ministry or contact Registrar Jo McKay at [email protected] 💪 Train: Apply to serve on an upcoming overseas ministry trip. 🤝 Connect: Join Ken's private Facebook discussion group, God Is Not a Theory.

Number 3: S7E34 -Brokenness Before the Lord: Giving God Access to Your Heart. With Ken Fish, Jeffrey Fazl & Kady Taylor
What if the light God placed in you only shines as the vessel breaks? Ken Fish and Kady Taylor welcome back Jeffrey Fazl—longtime friend, church planter, and deliverance minister from Australia—for an honest, tender conversation ahead of the Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ Jeffrey shares openly about seasons of "eclipse"—years in Indonesia, deep grief, and recent dark nights of the soul—and how the Lord kept drawing him back out with fresh purpose. From that comes the thread running through the whole conversation: brokenness feeds the carnal man, and healing it—through inner healing, deliverance, and confession together—sets us free to shine. Tying it to the conference theme, he unpacks luminosity as the light within, emerging not by striving but as the fear and performance that keep us hidden are healed. In this conversation:Jeffrey's seasons of "eclipse"—and how the Lord drew him back outWhy "brokenness feeds the carnal man"How inner healing, deliverance, and confession work togetherLuminosity as the light within, emerging as the vessel breaksThe difference between damaging brokenness and being broken before the LordKeeping a soft heart instead of hardening itThe war against a "performance" mindsetReaching the next generation with heroes, encounter, and real powerRegister for Luminosity 📅 October 1–3, 2026 | Nashville Area (Bethel World Outreach Church)❤️‍🩹 Healing Service: September 30 at Franklin Vineyard 🎟️ Register today: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ Connect with Orbis Ministries 🙏 Prayer: https://orbisprayer.org/ ❤️ Give: https://subsplash.com/orbisministries/give Grow with Orbis 📖 Read: On the Road with the Holy Spirit by Ken Fish 🎓 Learn: Enroll in Orbis School of Ministry or contact Registrar Jo McKay at [email protected] 💪 Train: Apply to serve on an upcoming overseas ministry trip. 🤝 Connect: Join Ken's private Facebook discussion group, God Is Not a Theory.

Number 4: S7E37 - The Joy of Holiness: A New Testament Scholar on Consecration & the Fire of God. With Ken Fish, Dr. Craig Keener & Joel Taylor
Ken Fish and Joel Taylor welcome back Dr. Craig Keener—one of the world's leading New Testament scholars and a returning speaker at the Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ Bringing deep knowledge of Scripture together with a genuine hunger for the Holy Spirit, Dr. Keener unpacks this year's theme: consecration and holiness. He shares how he came to see holiness not as legalism or externals, but as loving God so much that nothing else compares—a burning, consuming fire. Drawing on the biblical language of light and glory and his firsthand experience of the 2023 Asbury outpouring, he describes a holiness that is deeply joyful: God's presence made accessible, His grace not only forgiving sin but transforming us into the image of His Son. In this conversation:Holiness as loving God above all—not legalism or externalsThe biblical language of light, glory & the cloud of God's presenceDr. Keener's firsthand experience of the 2023 Asbury outpouringWhy grace is about both salvation AND transformationHow word and Spirit belong togetherWalking and being led by the Spirit day by day"Consecrated in Christ"—already set apart, called to live it outHow one generation's revival can become the next's legalismThe awakening the church needs in this hourRegister for Luminosity 📅 October 1–3, 2026 | Nashville Area (Bethel World Outreach Church)🎟️ Register today: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ ❤️‍🩹 Healing service September 30 | NOW AT FULL CAPACITY - the service portion of the evening will be livestreamed and available online here.

Number 5: S7E33 - Rebuilding the Prophetic: Judgment, Holiness & the Way Forward. With Ken Fish, John E. Thomas & Joel Taylor
What happened to the prophetic movement—and what will it take to rebuild it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with John E. Thomas, leader of Streams Ministries International (founded by the late John Paul Jackson) and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ John argues that the implosion of the prophetic over recent years is both the inevitable fruit of what was sown and the judgment of God—a purging meant to clear away defilement so a healthier generation can arise. He traces the warning signs back to the 1990s: creeping Gnosticism and universalism, divination dressed up as revelation, the loss of the fear of the Lord, and the teaching that imagination is revelation and discernment is unnecessary. The conversation keeps returning to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and why a clean "lens" is essential to perceiving what God is actually saying. In this conversation:Why the collapse of the prophetic was both consequence and divine judgmentWhy true prophetic ministry includes justice and judgment, not only comfort"Imagination is revelation" and other dangerous errorsEmotional atmosphere vs. the genuine presence of GodHow the medium we learn through shapes the way we thinkWhy intercession is core to the propheticThe sons of Zadok—and treating the holy as holyWhy holiness keeps the lens of the soul clean Register for Luminosity📅 October 1–3, 2026 | Nashville Area (Bethel World Outreach Church)❤️‍🩹 Healing Service: September 30 at Franklin Vineyard Connect with Orbis Ministries 🎟️ Register today: https://kingdomluminosity.org/ 🙏 Prayer: https://orbisprayer.org/ ❤️ Give: https://subsplash.com/orbisministries/give Grow with Orbis 📖 Read: On the Road with the Holy Spirit by Ken Fish 🎓 Learn: Enroll in Orbis School of Ministry or contact Registrar Jo McKay at [email protected] 💪 Train: Apply to serve on an upcoming overseas ministry trip. 🤝 Connect: Join Ken's private Facebook discussion group, God Is Not a Theory.
