In this episode of Holy Disruption, host Heather Schott is joined by Noleen Sedra, co-lead pastor of Echo Church in Sydney, Australia, to discuss the unbiblical and spiritual implications of modern feminism. They explore the historical roots dating back to Genesis, first wave feminism, and its evolution through the waves, highlighting the demonic and anti-Christ spirit driving the movement. The discussion delves into the spirit of Jezebel, historical examples from the Bible, and the importance of men and women embracing their God-given identity. The episode also provides encouragement for women experiencing oppression and emphasizes the need for the church to raise a generation of women rooted in biblical truth.

In her message titled “Worshipers Buy Oil,” Pastor Dehavilland Ford unpacks the parable of the ten virgins from Matthew 25, calling it a blueprint for the end times and a clear warning to believers to be spiritually prepared. She explains that all ten virgins were pure and had lamps—symbolizing ministry and light—but only five carried extra oil, representing daily intimacy with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. The core issue was not morality or external appearance but the presence—or absence—of cultivated oil: personal history with God, sustained through worship, the Word, prayer, and obedience. Pastor Dehavilland emphasizes that oil cannot be borrowed, imparted, or outsourced—each believer must buy their own in intimacy with the Lord.

Finally, it encourages living a life of radical worship and dependence on God.

In this episode of 'Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott,' Landon sits down with Russell Johnson, the lead pastor and founder of the Pursuit Northwest. Together they discuss the significance of boldness in ministry and leadership. Russell shares his journey of establishing and growing one of the largest and fastest-growing churches in the Pacific Northwest, emphasizing the importance of faith, courage, and taking bold stances both within and outside the church. With anecdotes from his own life, including reopening his church during the pandemic and confronting local political figures, Russell illustrates how bold leadership is critical in making a meaningful impact in society. The conversation also delves into internal struggles, the importance of true self-awareness, and the power of surrounding oneself with like-minded, courageous individuals. This episode is a compelling exploration of leading with boldness and why it's essential for transforming both individual lives and entire cities. 

This sermon from Mercy Culture Church, delivered by Ps. Jasmine Weiler, emphasizes the importance of worship and the ongoing battle over where one's worship is directed. Ps. Jasmine breaks down the scripture passage 2 Samuel 11:1-5, 14-17, recounting King David's misdeeds, and uses it to illustrate the consequences of misplacing worship. She outlines four types of worship practiced at the church—intercessory, high praise, adoration, and prophetic—and stresses that worship is active, not passive. Weiler warns against idols, explaining how they can displace true worship, and argues that whom or what we worship ultimately positions us either on God's side or as an enemy of God. The message underlines that every act of worship declares which side one is on, urging believers to identify and cast down their idols to truly worship God.

In this compelling message, Pastor Trough teaches that true worship isn’t cheap—it’s costly. Drawing from David’s refusal to offer God a sacrifice that cost him nothing (2 Samuel 24), this sermon challenges us to move beyond performative, convenient worship and into wholehearted, obedient, radical worship. Whether through generosity, sacrifice, or obedience, we’re called to give God what He desires, not just what’s easy. Because when we love God radically, our worship will reflect it. Mercy Culture Church exists to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

In this episode of Holy Disruption, host Heather Schott is joined by worship leaders Catherine Mullins and Pastor Jasmine Weiler to tackle pressing issues in the worship community. They discuss the detrimental impact of prioritizing fame and performance over genuine worship, the troubling prevalence of alcohol and sin among worship leaders, and the need for reformation to return to purity and presence. Highlighting personal experiences, they advocate for setting holy standards and prioritizing authentic intimacy with the Lord. Tune in for an insightful and convicting conversation aimed at calling the church back to holiness.

Pastor Sean Gleason’s message Radical Love: Beloved Identity centers on the truth that our identity isn’t found in what we do, but in being radically loved by God. Using Mary Magdalene’s encounter with Jesus in John 20, he shows that when Jesus calls your name, He calls you “Beloved.” Pastor Sean explains that God gives new names in Scripture to declare purpose and identity, and that true transformation comes through receiving the spirit of adoption, not striving. Beloved identity breaks shame, ends competition, and leads to unity. We can only truly love God when we understand how deeply we are loved by Him.

Ps. Isaac Hector of Mercy Culture Church delves into the theme of overcoming spiritual disillusionment in his message titled 'Unjaded.' He quotes Hosea 2:14-23, emphasizing God's promise to transform places of shame into doors of hope. Ps. Isaac addresses the concept of being 'jaded,' defining it as a spiritual and emotional weariness that results from repeated disappointments and hardships. He expounds on biblical terms related to hardness of heart and spiritual dullness, illustrating the negative impacts of jadedness, such as emotional detachment and loss of hope. Ps. Isaac shares his personal struggle with jadedness, how it seeped into his relationships and spiritual life, and how God revealed this condition to him. He encourages church members to identify and confront their own jadedness, highlighting that hope in Jesus restores what shame and disappointment have eroded. Throughout the sermon, Hector underscores God's plan for redemption and restoration, urging believers to embrace God's tenderness and to fight against hopelessness with gratitude and faith.

In this powerful message, Pastor Fidel unpacks how radical love confronts and casts out every spirit of fear. Drawing from the story of the prodigal son, he reveals how fear distorts our identity and hinders intimacy with the Father. Through scripture, spiritual insight, and prophetic challenge, we’re reminded that fear and the Holy Spirit cannot coexist—and it’s time to choose who we will host. This is a call to shut every open door, break agreement with the familiar spirit, and walk boldly in the Dunamis power of God’s love.
