    More Than Churchgoers: Becoming Kingdom People | The Conversation Podcast

    In this opening episode of 2026, Blessen Mathew sits down with Pastor Henry Ita to explore the church’s theme for the year: Kingdom People, alongside the spiritual discipline of fasting. Building on previous themes of Kingdom Advance, Kingdom Enlargement, and Unshakeable Kingdom, this conversation moves from concept to lifestyle—what it truly means to live as people of God’s Kingdom every day. Pastor Henry reminds us that Jesus did not merely come to save individuals but to restore a Kingdom that humanity lost through the fall. Salvation is the doorway, but the Kingdom is the home we are meant to live in. Too often believers settle for a minimal faith—attending church, remaining spiritually passive, and never enjoying the full benefits God intends for His people. Fasting is presented not as a religious ritual, but as an ancient and essential discipline that brings the flesh into submission and sharpens spiritual awareness. In a culture driven by comfort and convenience, fasting calls Kingdom people back to hunger for God. This episode challenges listeners—individuals, families, and young people alike—to embrace discipline, intentionality, and spiritual depth, not just for a season, but as a way of life.
