The Kingdom Isn't Quiet

About this episode

Pastor Keith and Kara discuss the dynamic and disruptive nature of God's work in the Kingdom, sharing personal stories from their ministry experiences.

In this week's episode of Confessions of a Pastor , Pastor Keith and Kara take us behind the scenes of the spiritual and physical movement happening at Journey Church in Bend . Building on the themes of spiritual warfare and the "weirdness" of the Kingdom, they dive into the idea that God's work is rarely silent or subtle when it begins to break through. They share raw, unfiltered stories about the tension between the "miseries and miracles" of ministry, reflecting on how the Kingdom of God isn't a quiet suggestion, but a powerful force that often disrupts our comfort to bring about true transformation. Whether you’re navigating your own season of spiritual battle or looking for perspective on how God is moving in the Church today, this episode is a relentlessly real reminder that the Kingdom is moving, and it’s anything but quiet.
