    Pastor Michael Koulianos on Revival and What the Church Is Missing Right Now

    Pastor Michael Koulianos has been in rooms where the Holy Spirit moved in ways that could not be explained, manufactured, or replicated. He has also been in rooms where everything was tried and nothing happened. This episode is a conversation about the difference — what revival actually is, what produces it, and why the church in the West is so hungry for something she has largely stopped making room for. In this episode: • The Holy Spirit is a person not a force — and that distinction changes everything • You can grieve the Holy Spirit — what that means practically and why most of us do it without realizing • Pastor Michael's personal story — how an encounter with the Holy Spirit redirected the entire trajectory of his life • What it looks like when the Holy Spirit actually moves vs. when it is manufactured enthusiasm • Revival is not an event — it is what happens when the people of God return to their first love • What the church needs to recover right now and what Pastor Michael believes God is stirring • How to position yourself and your community to make room for the Holy Spirit SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

    Why Most People Struggle to Pray — and What Actually Helps

    The Lord's Prayer is not a prayer you pray — it is a school you attend. Every line is a classroom teaching you something about who God is, who you are, and what you actually need. This episode walks through the full framework of the Lord's Prayer alongside a practical theology of prayer for anyone who has ever wanted to pray more but did not know where to start. In this episode: Our Father in heaven — why the opening two words reframe everything about how you approach GodHallowed be your name — what it means to treat God as holy before you ask for anythingYour kingdom come, your will be done — praying in alignment rather than negotiationGive us today our daily bread — why Jesus taught us to ask for today's needs and not tomorrow'sForgive us our debts as we forgive — the uncomfortable condition built into the prayerLead us not into temptation — what this reveals about our own vulnerabilityThe six windows of prayer and how to find which one connects you most deeply to GodSPONSORS & SUPPORT This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

    Don't Mistake Adrenaline for Anointing

    Making disciples does not mean getting people to pray a prayer and tick a box on belief. It means immersing them in the character of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the way you live — and then teaching them the patterns of life that flow out of believing the right things. This episode reframes the Great Commission from the ground up and makes the case that you are the only Jesus some people will ever see. In this episode: Adrenaline vs. anointing — and how easily we confuse themWhy the early church was seen as a philosophy not a religion — and why that distinction mattersThe prize is not a crowd — pizza gets people to show up, but that is not discipleshipJesus chose the shepherd as the primary metaphor for leadership for a reasonAngela's experience of being thrown on stages before being rooted in a local churchThe only Jesus people will ever see is the one you represent — do they fall in love?What Matthew 28 actually means — soaking people in the character of the Trinity by how you live SPONSORS & SUPPORT This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

    Your Body Is Not a Problem to Fix — It Is a Temple to Steward

    Wearing your body down is not a badge of how hard you are working for Jesus. It is a sign that something has gone wrong. This episode makes the case that your body is a spiritual reality — not a machine to manage — and that how you sleep, eat, rest, and move is an act of worship just as much as anything that happens on Sunday morning. In this episode: • The Gnostic lie the church has inherited — physical bad, spiritual good — and why it is not biblical • Why your body carries the weight of unprocessed emotion and trauma • The three major factors of soul health relative to the body: diet, exercise, and rest • Darren's story of bleeding internally at 29 — and what it took to realize his body was not the enemy • Angela's story of panic attacks, disordered eating, and learning what her body was actually saying • Why Sabbath is not about doing nothing — it is about learning to receive being loved for no good reason • What it means to steward your body as an offering to the Lord rather than an idol to perfect SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

    Why Lust Is Not About Sex — and Every Sin Is Actually a Misdirected Desire for God

    Every sin is a distorted desire. Underneath lust is a longing for connection. Underneath anger is a loss of identity. Underneath sloth is an inability to love yourself enough to take care of yourself. This episode walks through the seven deadly sins not as a list of behaviors to avoid but as a diagnostic tool for understanding where the soul has gone sideways — across every dimension of your life In this episode: Pride as an inaccurate view of self — and why inferiority is just as much a form of pride as superiorityAnger as a sign of lost identity — and why most angry people are actually the most insecureEnvy and the spark of pleasure when someone else failsSloth — not laziness but the neglect of things that matter, while staying busy doing everything elseWhy greed, gluttony, and lust are all misdirected longings for connection with GodHow the seven deadly sins work themselves out in each of the five dimensions of the soulYou can hide from God in 10 hours of prayer — the spiritual unhealth nobody talks aboutSPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

    What A Healthy Soul ACTUALLY Looks Like From the Bible

    Love is not a feeling first. Joy is not happiness. Patience is not passive waiting. And kindness is not just being nice. This episode walks through the fruit of the Spirit as the actual markers of a healthy soul — redefining each one from the ground up with Pastor Bill Dogterom, in a conversation that will quietly wreck you in the best way. In this episode: • Love as the environment the soul was made to swim in • Joy as the energy cell — what enables endurance through the hardest seasons • Shalom as pervasive wellbeing independent of circumstances • Kindness as mercy and goodness as grace — the two most powerful forces for transformation in the universe • Why the fruit of the Spirit are warfare characteristics not Hallmark card virtues • The hardest part of the Christian life is not suffering — it is receiving good things without running off like a kid with a popsicle SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

    You are a soul, not someone who has one.

    What the Bible reveals about true Worship — With Lindy Cofer

    The first time worship is mentioned in the Bible, a father is asked to offer his only son on an altar. That single scene in Genesis 22 becomes the archetype for everything worship means for the rest of Scripture. This episode traces that thread through Leviticus, Romans 12, and Revelation 4, and makes the case that knowing what worship actually is changes everything about how you live it. In this episode: • Genesis 22 and the principle of first mention — why the first time a word appears in Scripture sets the pattern for everything after • Why Abraham's response of worship is wholehearted trust, not naive obedience • Leviticus and the sacrificial system — why every sacrifice was about drawing near to God, not earning his favor • Living sacrifices crawl off the altar — a practical framework for noticing what has quietly stopped being an offering to God • The difference between worship songs and Christian music — and why that distinction matters more than people think • Lindy's story from the mission field with Heidi Baker — when nothing in her toolkit worked except knowing who Jesus is • Revelation 4 and the throne room of heaven — what is actually at the center of all reality SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.
