    S2 Ep. 8 Names of God Pt.3

    What do the names of God reveal about His character, and how can knowing Him transform the way we live? In this episode of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we’re wrapping up our Names of God series with a powerful conversation about the nature of God, the importance of rest, and the incredible truth that God meets us right where we are. From the God who sanctifies us to the God who sees us in our suffering, these names reveal a Father whose goodness, love, and faithfulness have never changed. Pastor Darren and Sam explore what it means to walk with God instead of simply working for Him, why biblical rest is essential to spiritual growth, and how God’s character challenges the way we approach ministry, leadership, and everyday life. In this episode, we talk about: Jehovah Mekaddishkem — The Lord Who Sanctifies You: Discover why holiness isn't something we achieve through busyness and striving, but something God works in us as we learn to rest in His presence. The Importance of Sabbath and Rest: Why boundaries matter, how to protect time with your family, and why being available 24/7 isn't necessarily a sign of wise leadership. El Roi — The God Who Sees Me: Through Hagar's story, we see that God meets us in our pain, shame, and suffering—not just after we've overcome them. El Olam — The Everlasting God: Explore the eternal, unchanging nature of God and the incredible truth that His goodness has always been present. El Elyon — God Most High: Learn what it means to recognize God's ultimate authority and remain faithful rather than trading spiritual integrity for worldly success. The Danger of a Watered-Down Gospel: Why we must never remove the reality of suffering, conviction, and spiritual growth from the message of Jesus. Correction, Conviction, and Spiritual Maturity: How to receive loving correction, embrace accountability, and surround yourself with people who want to see you grow. Scriptures Discussed:Exodus 31:13 • Genesis 16:11–14 • Genesis 21:33 • Genesis 14:18–22 • Colossians 1:15–17 • 1 Corinthians 1:30 • Matthew 28:18–20 The takeaway: God doesn't just want you to know information about Him—He wants you to know Him personally. His character is revealed through His names, but that revelation is meant to change how you live. Make room for His presence, learn to rest in Him, embrace the growth that comes through correction, and remember that the God who sees you in your lowest moments is the same everlasting God who holds all things together.

    S2. Ep. 7 Names of God Pt.2

    What happens when we truly understand the names of God? In this episode of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we dive into the powerful meaning behind the names of God and how each name reveals another aspect of His character, nature, authority, and goodness. The conversation begins with a powerful moment of worship and the names of God being sung over the room—and from there, we explore: • Yahweh — The Lord, the One who is, and the source of our breath and life• Jehovah Jirah — The Lord who provides• Jehovah Rapha — The Lord who heals• Elohim — God the Creator and the mystery of His nature• El Shaddai — God Almighty and our complete dependence upon Him• Adonai — Lord, Master, and Sovereign We also talk about why so much can be lost when we read Scripture only through an English translation, the importance of understanding biblical context, and why Hebrew words can reveal layers of meaning that aren't immediately obvious in English. One of the biggest themes throughout this episode is trust. God is good enough to trust, but He is deep enough that we will never fully understand everything about Him. His sovereignty doesn't have to be explained for it to be trusted. His sovereignty is our security. We also discuss the danger of taking Scripture, sermons, people, and even other Christians out of context—and how the Word of God was never meant to become bricks that we use to build walls or throw at one another. The names of God aren't simply titles to make our prayers sound more spiritual. They are moments of revelation that show us who He is. And there are many more names still to explore.

    S2 Ep. 6 Names of God Pt. 1

    What happens when we stop simply knowing about God and begin discovering who He is through His names? In this episode of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we dive into the names of God and the incredible way each name reveals another part of His character, nature, and relationship with us. From Yahweh, Elohim, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Nissi, El Shaddai, and Adonai, we explore what these names reveal about who God is and how knowing His character can change the way we face our circumstances. We talk about:• Why the names of God matter• How God's names reveal His character• Yahweh — the God who is (Exodus 3:14)• Jehovah Jireh — the Lord who provides (Genesis 22:14)• Jehovah Rapha — the Lord who heals (Exodus 15:26)• Jehovah Nissi — the Lord our banner (Exodus 17:15)• Elohim — the Creator (Genesis 1:1)• El Shaddai — God Almighty (Genesis 17:1)• Adonai — the Lord, Master, and Sovereign (Psalm 8:1; Isaiah 6:8)• Learning to trust God even when we don't understand (Proverbs 3:5–6)• Why knowing God's character changes how we face our circumstances• Moving beyond theological arguments and divisions (2 Timothy 2:23–24)• What it means to acknowledge God rather than lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5–6) The names of God aren't simply titles. They are connected to moments where God revealed something about Himself to humanity. When you know His character, you can trust Him even when you don't understand your circumstances. As we see throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as our Provider, Healer, Banner, Creator, Almighty God, Shepherd, and Sovereign Lord. Our prayer is that this conversation helps you become more aware of who God is—not just in what He does, but in who He is.

    S2 Ep. 5 Stewardship

    What does it really mean to be a good steward? In this episode of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we sit down with Richard Simpson for a powerful conversation about biblical stewardship—and why stewardship is about so much more than money. Richard shares from his own story, including growing up with humble beginnings, learning from his parents, building a career spanning 37 years at GE, and discovering that the greatest things God entrusts to us aren't always financial. Together, we talk about: • Stewarding the time, talents, gifts, and resources God has given us• Why everything ultimately belongs to God• Being faithful with what you have right now• The connection between stewardship and being entrusted with more• The importance of serving—even when you're not on a platform• What Joseph teaches us about practical stewardship• Why the Kingdom needs both spiritual gifts and practical skills• Finding your place to serve and using your unique gifts• Building a legacy that lives in people, not simply what we leave behind• What it looks like for a church to steward its resources faithfully and transparently One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is simple: You don't have to wait until you have more to start being faithful. Steward what you have, where you are, right now. Whether it's your finances, your family, your career, your skills, your time, or your influence—God has entrusted something to every one of us. Find your gift. Find your place. And steward it well. Kingdom Culture Podcast | Believers Church

    Order pt. 2

    ORDER IS NOT THE ENEMY OF FIRE — PART 2 | Kingdom Culture PodcastWhat happens when God’s order, humility, leadership, and the next generation all come together?In Part 2 of our conversation on order, we go deeper into what biblical order looks like in the New Testament and why order is not the enemy of the supernatural—it creates an environment where God’s gifts, power, and prophetic flow can operate with greater purpose and protection.In this episode, we talk about:• Why humility is essential to biblical order• The difference between being a vessel of the Source and trying to become the source ourselves• Why Jesus is the head and source of the Church• How order can protect people from spiritual abuse, manipulation, and exploitation• Why authority and submission are connected• Solomon’s wisdom and how it helps us recognize what is truly in order• The importance of succession and passing the baton• Why leaders must empower and prepare the next generation• How insecurity can cause leaders to view the next generation as competition instead of collaboration• Why the next generation needs room to develop its own uniqueness• The danger of holding onto something God has called you to release• Why taking the risk to empower others is worth it—even when some may fail• What it means to finish your race well and celebrate those who come after youThroughout the conversation, we look at examples from Jesus, Solomon, Moses and Joshua, Elijah and Elisha, David and Saul, Samuel, and the early Church to explore what Scripture teaches us about order, humility, authority, empowerment, and succession.The goal isn't simply to finish the race. It's to pass the baton well and help the next generation finish strong.📖 Scriptures discussed:Colossians 11 Corinthians 12–14Jeremiah 2:13Isaiah 11:21 Kings 3Numbers 8:24–26Joshua 24Matthew 8RevelationActs 6If you haven't watched Part 1, go back and check it out before continuing the conversation!Kingdom Culture Podcast | Believers ChurchSubscribe, like, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

    Generation Blessings

    What if the story of your family doesn’t have to end where it began? In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we turn the conversation from generational curses to generational blessing. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and honest conversation, we explore how one decision—one choice to forgive, surrender, obey, or follow Jesus—can change the trajectory of an entire family. Ted shares the incredible story of his family’s journey from North Korea to America and the faithfulness of God that has impacted generations. Together, we look at Joseph, Bathsheba, Gideon, Paul, and others who remind us that God is not limited by our past, our family history, or the things that have come before us. We talk about forgiveness, spiritual formation, breaking unhealthy patterns, taking our thoughts captive, and learning to let God “search” our hearts. Most importantly, we discover what it means to stop partnering with the patterns of the past and begin walking in the covenant, grace, and identity God has given us through Jesus. Scriptures discussed include: Genesis 50:20 — What was intended for harm, God can use for good.Deuteronomy 7:9 — God’s covenant faithfulness extends to generations.Genesis 41:51–52 — Joseph’s sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, and the significance of forgetting the pain of the past and experiencing fruitfulness.Psalm 139:23–24 — Asking God to search our hearts and reveal what needs to change.2 Corinthians 10:5 — Taking thoughts captive and bringing them into obedience to Christ.Romans 12:1–2 — Becoming a living sacrifice and being transformed through the renewing of our minds.James 4:7 — Submitting to God and resisting the devil.Romans 6:11 — Considering ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ.Genesis 50:20 and the story of Joseph — Forgiveness and choosing a different path can change the trajectory of a family.Your family’s story can change with you. The question is: What are you willing to put on the altar so that something new can rise? Tune in and be encouraged that the power of Jesus is greater than your past—and that one surrendered life can become the beginning of a generational blessing.

    Order | In the church and order in ministry

    What happens when passion, ministry, and the move of the Holy Spirit are disconnected from God’s order? In Episode 2 of Season 2 of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we dive into order in the church and order in ministry—what it looks like, why it matters, and how we can recognize the difference between genuine spiritual freedom and disorder. Beginning with the biblical picture of strange fire in Leviticus 10, this conversation explores the sobering reality that people can be anointed, positioned, and actively involved in ministry while still stepping outside of God’s order. At the same time, we have to be careful not to label everything unfamiliar or different as “strange fire.” God has moved in new ways throughout history, and our traditions can sometimes keep us from recognizing what He is doing. Throughout the episode, the conversation explores: Why God loves order and how divine order brings cosmos into chaos.The difference between order and control in the local church.Why Christ—not a pastor, apostle, prophet, or teacher—is the head of the Church.The relationship between anointing, position, authority, and responsibility.Why promotion in ministry isn't primarily about recognition—it's about greater responsibility and accountability to God.How teams and ministries can become unhealthy when things get out of order.Why we shouldn't wait for a ministry “casualty” before recognizing that something needs to change.How submission and surrender to God's order can accomplish what human strength and preparation cannot.Why true spiritual order begins in the secret place and God's presence.How peace can exist even in the middle of pain, conflict, pressure, and difficult seasons when we are properly positioned before God.This isn't a conversation about pointing fingers at other churches, leaders, or ministries. It's an honest look at ourselves and a challenge to love the Church, love ministry, and allow the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to bring greater order to everything we do. The episode closes with a powerful prayer for God to remove disorder and confusion, establish His divine order in our hearts and minds, and order our steps, our stops, our pauses, and our sprints as we learn to live ordered lives surrendered to Him. Key thought:God's order doesn't restrict the Holy Spirit—it creates the environment where His purposes can flow. Kingdom Culture Podcast — Season 2, Episode 2A conversation about order, leadership, submission, responsibility, and what it means to build ministry according to God's design.
