What if the most explosive moments in the early church didn’t happen on a platform—but around a table?

In Acts 6, the apostles appoint leaders to oversee food distribution for widows—an assignment that looks ordinary, even menial. But what follows is anything but small. This episode explores a three-stage Kingdom reversal where serving tables reshapes priorities, launches Spirit-filled leaders, and dismantles the very power structures the enemy relies on.

From Stephen’s miracles to Philip’s missionary breakthrough, Scripture reveals that humble service is not a detour from purpose—it’s often the doorway to it. When God’s people pick up towels instead of titles, the Kingdom advances and thrones begin to fall.

Serving tables doesn’t diminish impact.
It turns the tables on everything we thought mattered.

We live in a culture obsessed with comfort — engineered to make every part of life easier, faster, and more convenient. But the way of Jesus has always been different. God consistently forms His people through challenge, pressure, and discomfort. In fact, some of His greatest work happens in the places we most want to avoid.

In this episode, Kris and Ken dive deep into the spiritual reality that pain is often preparation, not punishment. They explore how God uses difficulty to shape courage, build endurance, confront idols, deepen empathy, and form disciples who can carry the weight of the mission.

You’ll discover why true spiritual authority is forged in the uncomfortable places, and why discipleship requires a lifestyle of intentionally doing hard things — not for the sake of suffering, but for the sake of becoming everything God calls us to be.

If you want a faith that’s resilient, mature, and mission-ready… this episode will challenge and strengthen you.

For years, we’ve taught that the mission can’t be confined to a building or reduced to seasonal events. Mission must be lived out daily — where disciples live, work, learn, and play. But here’s the challenge most churches never talk about: when we shift the weight of mission onto personal, everyday responsibility, some disciples don’t step deeper into mission… they step back from it.

Not because the vision is wrong — but because without clear on-ramps and shared moments of united effort, passion can fade and passivity can creep in.

In this episode, Kris and Ken unpack what a holistic missional culture really looks like. They explore why individual missional living must remain the primary engine of the Great Commission, and how wisely-designed corporate efforts can ignite, reinforce, and accelerate that personal passion without falling back into event-driven evangelism.

If you’re trying to build a missional church without creating spectators or complacency, this conversation offers the clarity and practical insight your team needs.

In this episode, Kris and Ken unpack a simple but powerful truth: gratitude and grace share the same root. When grace shapes your attitude, gratitude becomes the natural overflow. They explore how a heart trained to see the blessings we don’t deserve develops a posture that changes everything—our perspective, our relationships, our worship, and our discipleship.

Through Scripture, real-life stories, and practical insight, they dive into how grace forms the inner disposition that keeps us grounded, humble, and full of joy no matter the season. This conversation will help you cultivate a grace-shaped attitude that produces genuine, daily gratitude.

This episode explores the spiritual and emotional balance believers need in a world filled with highs and lows. Kris and Ken talk about how easy it is to let our emotions run ahead of our faith — either getting lifted too high in moments of excitement or sinking too low when life feels heavy. They unpack biblical examples, practical habits, emotional health insights, and Spirit-led wisdom that help disciples stay steady, grounded, and mission-focused no matter what circumstances they’re facing. The conversation centers on spiritual formation, emotional maturity, discipleability, and what it means to live a consistent, faithful life with Jesus.

This episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast explores the rhythms every follower of Jesus experiences in life. Kris and Ken talk about how God forms us through both mountain seasons of clarity and valley seasons of pressure. They unpack biblical examples, real-life stories, and practical steps that help people stay faithful, hopeful, and mission-minded no matter what season they are in. The conversation centers on spiritual formation, discipleability, healthy relationships, and how God uses every season to shape us into people who can carry His presence into everyday life.

In this episode, Kris unpacks Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 3 and explores how true freedom comes “where the Spirit of the Lord is.” Transformation isn’t just about revelation—it’s about discipleability. When we’re willing to let the Spirit probe, convict, and tension us toward Jesus’ better way, the veil lifts and His glory changes us. Kris also shares what happens when that freedom starts reshaping church culture—from quiet transparency in discipleship groups to public renewal that’s contagious.

We’ve entered an age where seeing is no longer believing.
Within a year, artificial intelligence will blur the line between what’s real and what’s fabricated—videos, voices, even live interactions, perfectly imitated.

For generations, the world said, “Seeing is believing.”
But now that sight can be simulated, that mantra collapses.

In this episode, we talk about faith, discernment, and the unshakable Word of God in a culture of illusion. As deception grows more convincing, faith in what cannot be seen will become the only sane way to live. Because in a world where everything can be faked—truth still speaks.

Fast. Funny. Thoughtful. Kris and Ken fire off hot takes on the myths, clichés, and trends shaping modern church life — from coffee-based growth strategies to viral-video revival. 

They laugh their way toward a deeper truth: methods fade, but the mission of Jesus still multiplies.

In this episode, we unpack Paul’s warning that sin can twist even God’s holy law into a base of operations for pride, hypocrisy, and rebellion. Romans 7:8–9 shows how the commandment meant for life can awaken hidden desires and expose self-deception. But the final verdict is clear: the law points us to our desperate need for Christ.

Discover how grace and truth in Jesus pierce beneath the surface, strip away self-confidence, and empower us to walk in the Spirit.
