In this message, Pastor Jason unpacks the story of Athaliah and Joash and shows how it mirrors the cultural pressures facing the next generation today.

We’re living in a moment where the dominant voice discipling young people isn’t a teacher, a pastor, or a parent — it’s the algorithm. And it’s shaping attention, values, and identity through nonstop dopamine stimulation.

But the church has always been a place of refuge.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why Athaliah represents the “spirit of the age”

• How modern technology amplifies pressure on kids and teens

• Why protecting the next generation is a biblical assignment

• What it means to create consecrated environments

• How generosity allows the church to build spaces kids love and trust

In today’s message, Pastor Jason teaches on the highest level of hearing God: direct communication. Not sensing. Not recall of Scripture. Not a flow of revelation. But when the Lord speaks to you through your thoughts—clearly, specifically, and in a way you can recognize.

Using 1 Kings 19 as the framework, you’ll learn how Elijah differentiated the voice of God from the noise around him. Pastor Jason breaks down the practical ways to discern whether a thought is from God or from yourself, how to evaluate theology and instruction, why boundaries matter, and how your long-term time in Scripture actually trains your ear to the dialect of the Holy Spirit.

This message is a deep, practical walkthrough for anyone who wants to hear God with maturity, clarity, and confidence.

Referenced Scriptures:

1 Kings 19:11–13, 2 Timothy 3:16, Proverbs 13:11

In this episode, Pastor Jason teaches on the third level of hearing from God: revelation. Not the casual “I think God told me…” language people throw around. Real revelation. The kind Scripture describes. The kind John experienced on Patmos.

This episode explores:

• The difference between “a word from God” and genuine revelation
• Why revelation is large in scope and reshapes your theology
• How the secret place positions you for revelation
• Why the Holy Spirit often communicates through Scripture fragments
• How revelation creates a “North Star” for your belief system
• Why revelation is costly and why most people never walk in it
• What Paul meant by “exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think” (and why it’s about revelation, not prayer answers)

If you’ve ever wanted to walk in deeper spiritual understanding—and not the imitation version—this teaching lays out what it looks like and what it requires.

In this practical message, Pastor Jason Mayfield shows that Scripture and the Spirit don’t compete—they cooperate. When you give God 27 minutes a day—15 in the Bible, 7 in prayer, and 5 in worship—you stock the Holy Spirit’s vocabulary inside you and build a rhythm that transforms your quality of life.

This is more than a sermon—it’s a workshop for building your daily secret-place habit.

How does the Holy Spirit actually teach us?

Jesus said the Helper would teach us all things and bring His words to our remembrance (John 14:26 ESV). That means the Holy Spirit speaks primarily through Scripture—but in real time, in real life, as you need it.

In this episode, I break down three practical ways the Holy Spirit teaches:

1️⃣ While you’re reading the Bible (illumination and instruction)

2️⃣ Through short phrases and fragments you’ve stored in your memory

3️⃣ Through “association processing” — when verses and ideas start connecting like pinballs in your mind

If you’ve ever wondered how to hear God’s voice biblically (without hype or confusion), this message will help you understand how the Spirit uses Scripture to guide you step by step.

Preaching is level one for hearing from God—powerful and essential, but not the whole journey. Pastor Jason shows how good preaching produces real results, why showing up positions you to receive, and how serving unlocks behind-the-scenes revelation. Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:14–4:5; Romans 10:13–17; 1 Corinthians 3:10–15; Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 20:7–12; John 2:1–11; Revelation 14:6. 

We launch We Are Rooted in the Bible by unpacking why Scripture is inspired, trustworthy, and powerful—and how a simple standard of four days a week plus whole-Bible reading transforms your life. We cover theopneustos (“God-breathed”), verbal plenary inspiration, translation choices, and why “the sum of Your word is truth” is the handle that lets you wield the sword rightly.

Scriptures: 2 Tim 3:14–17; 2 Pet 1:17–21; Heb 4:12; Ps 119:160; Acts 20:27; Acts 2:2,4; 1 Jn 4:4; Isa 54:17 (ESV).

Peace in the home doesn’t just happen — it has to be built. In this message we walk through a surprising passage in Leviticus 14 that lays out a biblical process for dealing with conflict, dysfunction, and the things that quietly steal peace. You’ll learn how to inspect the irritation, evaluate the environment, contain the contagion, and terminate the terminal — practical steps that bring real stability back to your relationships.

This isn’t about keeping the peace by avoiding hard conversations. It’s about learning to create peace through boundaries, clarity, and wisdom. Whether your challenge is communication, tension with family, or an environment that constantly drains you, this teaching gives you a plan to restore peace that lasts.

Revival isn’t a theory—it’s a cycle. In this message, we look at how God moves through formation, consecration, and visitation to prepare His people for a great outpouring. Using Joel 2 and Acts 2, we explore what happens when the Holy Spirit begins to move in power—salvations multiply, hearts are transformed, and the presence of God fills His house again. This is a call for pastors to return to the altar, for believers to return to consecration, and for the Church to expect revival now.

Every believer has a ministry. In this message, we look at Numbers 3–4 and 2 Timothy to see how the Levites’ work in the tabernacle points us to our role in the church today. From hospitality to children’s ministry, worship, media, and giving, every part matters. The call is clear: fulfill your ministry.
