    Does Mercy Culture Church Have A Landon Schott Problem?

    Mercy Culture Church is a multi-campus ministry with its main location in Fort Worth, Texas. The senior pastor and his wife, Landon and Heather Schott, began the church in 2019 after serving as interns at Gateway Church for a year.  Mercy Culture has led thousands into deeper relationships with God through their "Daily Encounters" model. Pastor Landon Schott's recent rant about "self-righteous" people who criticized him for announcing his recent visit with Robert Morris in jail has, however, caused some to deem him the church's biggest problem. Is this true? Also, let's talk about Uptopia by Thomas Moore. Today's Spoken Word is from Matthew 7:21-23.  Robert Morris' victim, Cindy Clemishire, speaks out: The Dallas Morning News Landon Schott visits Robert Morris in jail: Instagram Landon Schott's rebuke: Instagram Landon Schott's rant: Instagram

    A Shooting In Minnesota

    Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. I have more questions than answers. Craig Groeschel's book, Hope In The Dark, could help during these times of sadness. Laura Story's memoir, When God Doesn't Fix It, could also be of assistance. Those looking for a devotional about anxiety may want to consider Louie Giglio's Putting an X Through Anxiety.  Finally, my furry baby, Tommie, passed away on Friday, January 9, 2026. He taught me so many lessons about love that I want to share. Our Spoken Word is from I Corinthians 13:4-8(a).
