    What Happens When We Behold Him (Understanding the Fear of the Lord)

    When a holy awe of God is missing from our pursuit of Him, all that remains is hype and performance. But when we truly behold Him, everything changes. In this powerful message, I expose one of the most under-preached truths in Scripture, the fear of the Lord, and show how it is not terror that drives us away from God but awe that draws us close. Through the story of Isaiah’s encounter in Isaiah 6, I reveal that the fear of the Lord is not about punishment but about Presence. When we see Him rightly: Sin loses its grip.Striving gives way to surrender.Holiness becomes the natural result of intimacy. This message will awaken your spirit to rediscover what happens when you truly behold God, when you move from religious performance to personal transformation. Scriptures Referenced: Isaiah 6:1–8, 2 Corinthians 3:16–18, Hebrews 12:28–29, Psalm 27:4, Exodus 20:20 Key Takeaways: You do not get holy by trying harder; you get holy by looking longer.The fear of the Lord is not punishment-based; it is presence-based.Sin cannot stand where His presence abides.True transformation begins with beholding His beauty. About the Message: If you are weary of surface-level Christianity, tired of chasing hype, or ready to experience the power of God’s holiness again, this message is for you. It is time to stop striving for perfection and start beholding the One who makes you whole. 00:00 Introduction and Current Times 00:48 The Power of Beholding 03:26 Understanding the Fear of the Lord 08:03 Isaiah's Encounter with God 11:34 Personal Story and Revelation 14:56 The Enemy's Limitations 20:18 The Importance of Worship 25:57 Grace, Fear, and Holiness 31:06 Call to Behold and Transform 37:04 Closing Prayer and Farewell Subscribe for more bold, reformational episodes that equip and challenge.

    Rosh Hashannah 5786 Prophetic Word

    We have just crossed over into Rosh Hashanah, the biblical Feast of Trumpets and the beginning of the Hebrew year 5786. This is not just another date on the calendar. It is a prophetic moment, a wake up call from the Lord to return to His original design for the church, to strengthen our homes, and to fasten our words and our lives to covenant truth. In this message, I share what God has been speaking to me about this new year. We are in the decade of the open mouth. The number six, Vav, speaks of a nail and a connector. The Lord is putting a spotlight on the family table as a place of covenant, discipleship, and preparation for the harvest. We are in a time of shifting and sifting, and the trumpet is sounding. Wake up. Remember what I have done. Turn back to the King.

    The Invasion of Artificial Intelligence & How The Church Should Respond

    We are entering an era where artificial relationships are being marketed as emotional solutions. In this episode of Breaking Through the Noise, I respond to recent developments in AI, including Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of customizable AI “friends”—and explore what this means for the future of human connection, dating, marriage, and parenting. What does it mean to be truly human in a world flooded with synthetic interactions? As the line between real and artificial continues to blur, the Church must rise as the last pure example of Kingdom relationships. This episode is not just a warning—it’s a roadmap. It’s time for the body of Christ to set the standard for meaningful connection in a disconnected world.

    Why Most People Don't Receive The Kingdom

    Have you heard the parable of the soil? Many have interpreted it wrongly. In this episode, I’m challenging the modern church’s obsession with fixing bad soil tonight. Jesus never told us to transform thorny, stony, or shallow ground—He told us to sow the Word and reap from good soil. This teaching reframes the Parable of the Sower not as a pastoral comfort message but as prophetic instruction for Kingdom builders.

    Will The Real Church Please Stand Up?

    In this explosive episode, I break down the true identity and purpose of the Church—beyond the noise of cultural compromise, performance-based gatherings, and consumer Christianity. Drawing from the books of Acts, Ephesians, and Matthew 16, I reveal how Jesus designed the Church to be an Ekklesia—a spiritual governing body, not a social club or business. You’ll hear how we've misused language like “the church is a hospital” or “a filling station” and why it’s time for the Church to reclaim its role as a Kingdom embassy, full of trained ambassadors—not spectators. This episode is a prophetic call to reset, reform, and return to the true mission of the Church: equipping saints, discipling nations, and displaying God's manifold wisdom to the powers at work in the world.

    Educational Shifts & The Church's Call To Action|

    In this episode, we discuss the future of education and the church’s role in it. As the U.S. faces potential shifts in its education system with President Trump's executive order to begin shutting down the Department of Education, there is much for us to discuss! In this episode, I challenge the current model and call believers to reclaim the church’s original assignment as the educational institution of the Kingdom of Heaven. Drawing from Kingdom principles and the example of ancient Israel, this episode explores how identity formation, character development, and Kingdom leadership can be at the forefront of this educational shift. It's time for the church to move from performance-driven models to equipping, discipling, and educating the next generation. 00:00 Welcome and Introduction 01:40 Recap of Episode One 02:46 Upcoming Panel Discussions 04:05 Reclaiming the Church's Role in Education 05:30 Critique of Modern Educational Systems 06:02 Trump's Executive Order on Education 06:21 Historical Perspectives on Education 18:39 Challenges in Higher Education 20:11 The Role of Technology in Education 25:36 Identity Formation and Education 30:40 Ancient Israel's Educational Model 31:49 Advanced Torah Study and Family Apprenticeships 32:13 Rethinking the Nuclear Family 34:17 The Church's Role in Education 37:55 The Biblical Foundation for Education 39:00 Historical Role of the Church in Education 45:27 Proposing a New Educational Model 51:12 Identity Formation and Character Education 54:11 Call to Action and Final Thoughts Text me directly: (864) 428-7131Learn more & partner: EmpoweredCultureMinistries.org #BreakingThroughTheNoise Follow me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryancoleempowerment/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryancoleempowerment/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryancoleempowerment

    The Apostolic Reset: How God Is Realigning the Church Today

In this first episode of Breaking Through The Noise, I expose how the modern church has drifted into performance-driven models—and why God is calling us back to His original blueprint. We are right in the middle of a transitional decade— a decade of divine realignment, and it’s time for the Church to move from production to presence, from spectatorship to discipleship, and from comfort to Kingdom authority. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🔥 Why the megachurch model is failing🔥 What Haggai’s prophecy about the “greater glory” means for the Church today🔥 How the early Church’s Acts 2 model holds the key to our future🔥 The urgency of the next five years before 2030🔥 How God is stripping away man-made systems and reforming His people🔥 Why real discipleship happens outside the four walls It’s time to break through the noise of culture, lies, and religious performance—and align with God’s Kingdom agenda.
