In this episode of The Hacka Podcast, we are joined by Andrew Koch, missionary to France, to unpack a powerful story of calling, conviction, and obedience.

From growing up in West Virginia, to serving as a military linguist, to being baptized in Jesus’ Name on a California beach — Andrew shares how God redirected his life toward revival in Europe.

We discuss:

- The biblical meaning of “calling on the Name of the Lord” (Acts 2)

- Why baptism in Jesus’ Name matters

- The new birth in Titus 3:5

- Language learning as a tool for revival

- What God is doing in Paris right now

- The need for laborers in Europe

In this episode, we welcome back Evangelist Simeon Costa for a deep, Scripture-driven conversation on the necessity of baptism. Together, we unpack why baptism is more than a symbolic act—exploring its role in salvation, covenant, and spiritual awakening.Drawing from Acts, Romans, Galatians, Colossians, and the Old Testament, this conversation addresses common objections to baptism, clarifies the difference between works and obedience, and explains why the early church treated baptism with urgency. Simeon also traces how historical shifts in theology shaped modern views on baptism and why returning to Scripture restores clarity.If you’ve ever wondered why baptism matters, why it was commanded, or how the apostles understood it, this episode will challenge and equip you.

In this episode of The Hacka Podcast, we sit down with David Jennings — recording artist, worship leader, preacher, and producer — for a deeply honest conversation about calling, worship, obedience, and spiritual formation.

David shares his powerful story of growing up in a multicultural military town in Texas, how God used hidden seasons to shape his ministry, and the defining moment when he fully surrendered to God’s call. Together, they discuss the danger of chasing platforms instead of process, why authenticity matters more than visibility, and how true worship is formed in prayer rooms long before it’s ever heard on a stage.

The conversation also dives into David’s experience leading worship at North American Youth Congress, the story behind the song “He’s in the Room,” and what it really means to keep God first in ministry, family, and everyday life.
