Isaiah 33 poses a sobering question: “Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?”

This isn’t about escaping the fire of judgment—it’s about being refined by the presence of a holy God.

In this episode, I unpack defining traits of those who don’t just visit the presence of God but learn to live there. These are the believers who can withstand the shaking, endure the fire, and emerge purified, not consumed.

From clean hands to steadfast eyes, we’ll explore what it truly means to walk in consecration, carry a heavenly perspective, and build a life that can stand in the heat of His glory.

If you long to be part of the remnant that isn’t impressed by platforms but is anchored in presence and purity—this message is for you.

In this episode, I unpack 10 of the most common misunderstandings I’ve encountered about the local church—from both within the Body and from the outside.

Many believers today hold distorted views shaped more by culture than by Scripture. Whether it’s the idea that “church is optional,” or the belief that online worship can fully replace embodied fellowship, these misunderstandings weaken our witness, rob us of spiritual maturity, and fracture the unity of Christ’s Body.

If we want to see a healthy, Kingdom-advancing church in our generation, we must return to a biblical vision of what the local church is—and why it still matters.
