Many believers are sincere, Bible-centered, and deeply committed—yet still feel unsure about God’s will for their lives.

Who to marry.
What calling to pursue.
Which direction is actually God’s.

In this episode of Kingdom Reset, we explore why Scripture alone—while essential—doesn’t answer every personal decision, and how confusing God’s general will with His specific will can quietly derail clarity, confidence, and prayer itself.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between God’s corporate will and His personal guidance

• Why “just do whatever you want” often fails in real life

• How faith, prayer, and confidence collapse when God’s voice is reduced to text alone

• Why balance—not extremes—is the key to discernment

This episode reframes how God speaks, how faith forms, and how you can pray with boldness again.

👉 Subscribe for the next episode as we continue unpacking how this framework reshapes prayer, identity, and purpose.

The Bible is the foundation of our faith — but is it the only way God communicates?
In this episode, we unpack a crucial distinction most Christians never hear: Scripture as the filter, not the firewall, of God’s voice.

Using a clear encryption / connection analogy, we explain:

• Why Scripture is essential for discernment

• How God gives personal guidance without adding to the Bible

• Why extremes lead to spiritual confusion or silence

• How the Word of God and the Spirit were designed to work together

This episode is for believers who want clarity without chaos and confidence without contradiction.

You’ve heard the Trinity explained with an egg, states of matter, and other weak illustrations.
But the real blueprint was right in front of us the whole time.

This episode uncovers why your inner conflict exists, how the Fall disrupted humanity’s original design, and why Jesus’ work reunifies what was separated.

If you’ve ever felt like part of you pulls away from what God is calling you to… this will make sense of it.

Most Christians read 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5 then stop at “caught up.” But Paul wasn’t just predicting the return of Jesus—he was revealing how hope, grief, resurrection, and judgment all intersect. In this episode, we’ll dive deep into what it really means to be ready for the return of Christ… and how your understanding of the Kingdom will shape everything.

➡️ What happens to believers who die before Jesus returns?
➡️ What’s the “Day of the Lord”… and why should it sober us?
➡️ How your armor—faith, love, and hope—makes you spiritually unshakable

Grab your Bible. It’s time to rethink what you thought you knew.

This episode of Kingdom Reset might rattle a few cages. Mark sits down with James Spurgeon to talk about the roots of King James Onlyism, why it's become such a dividing line in IFB circles, and how discovering the truth opened up freedom and clarity. They even reveal how some of the movement's most respected leaders weren’t actually KJV-Only. You don’t want to miss this one.

Yes, I was part of that world. The one where you got rebuked for not having a baptism on your bus route—and the person with the fewest “salvations” got handed a Golden Broom.

In this episode with James Spurgeon, host of the Texas Baptist Crucible Podcast, we laugh (and wince) our way through some of the craziest expectations from our time in the IFB in the 1990's and 2000's—and how God has since reshaped our understanding of ministry, identity, and grace.

We also discuss how things have changed over the years, and how some institutions have walked back some of the crazy of the past.

If you know, you know. And if you don’t, buckle up.

Should women wear pants? Are shorts a sin? What does the Bible really say about modesty? Mark takes on one of the most loaded topics in legalistic church circles—clothing standards. With both humor and grace, he challenges long-held beliefs and calls Christians to walk in the Spirit instead of fear. This isn’t about rebellion, it’s about freedom through wisdom and context.#ChristianModesty #KingdomReset #SpiritLedLiving #FreedomInChrist #LegalismVsGrace #WomenInTheChurch #ModestyMyths #BiblicalFreedom #ChristianPodcast #FaithWithoutFear

Is it possible that what you were taught about worship music was more cultural than biblical?In this candid and sometimes humorous episode of Kingdom Reset, Mark opens up about his transformation from a strict Independent Baptist background—where syncopation was practically a sin, to a life-giving rediscovery of freedom in worship. He walks through his personal story of being a sacred music major, rewriting syncopation out of church arrangements, and eventually leading a worship song that broke him in the best way possible.Then he breaks down 10 major objections often raised against modern Christian music, from concerns about performance and emotion to theological depth and artist integrity.If you’ve ever felt torn between truth and tradition, this one will hit home.#KingdomReset #WorshipMusic #CCM #ChurchTradition #BiblicalWorship #MusicMinistry #WorshipFreedom #ChristianGrowth

Since when did “pastoral leadership” mean controlling your life?In this episode of Kingdom Reset, we’re pulling back the curtain on a growing problem in church culture: pastors demanding power they were never given. From “veto power” over personal decisions to using fear as a tool for obedience—this isn’t shepherding. It’s spiritual domination dressed in religious language.Jesus gave pastors authority to serve, not control. So how did we end up here?If you’ve ever been told not to question leadership, not to think for yourself, or not to make a move without your pastor’s permission—this conversation will shake you… and maybe set you free.📢 Don’t miss this one. Your freedom might depend on it.

There’s a philosophy that quietly reinforced an entire culture of control, isolation, and spiritual limitation—King James Onlyism. In this vulnerable first episode, I briefly share my journey out of the extreme wing of the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) movement, why God told me to start the podcast with this topic, and how this one belief became the membrane holding the whole bubble together.👉 If you've ever felt spiritual tension around which Bible version you read… you're not alone.This isn't about bitterness. It’s about breaking the mindsets that keep Christians from walking in full Kingdom impact.🟠 What happens when you question long-held traditions?🔵 What fruit grows outside the bubble?Let’s talk about it.🎧 Subscribe for future episodes where we challenge false narratives and reset our thinking for real Kingdom influence.
