Pastor Sean Gleason continues the Spiritual Warfare series by confronting the orphan spirit, a demonic stronghold that convinces believers they must live for acceptance, approval, and survival rather than resting in their identity as sons and daughters of God. Teaching from Luke 15, the story of the prodigal son, Pastor Sean reveals that both sons in the parable were wrestling with the same orphan spirit, one through rebellion and reckless living, the other through performance and resentment, even though they had a good father. Pastor Sean opens up about his own journey with the orphan spirit, tracing it back to a childhood moment of rejection and through his deliverance from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. He shares a recent personal story of wrestling with ambition and rebellion when he felt pulled to start his own ministry, and how the Lord used spiritual fathers and mothers in his life to expose a transactional, orphan mindset still at work in his heart. Drawing from Romans 8:15, Philippians 2:3, and Hebrews 12:5, Pastor Sean breaks down how the orphan spirit causes people to sell short their inheritance, chase counterfeit sources of acceptance, and either rebel against authority or exhaust themselves trying to perform for it. He contrasts performance with presence, reminding the church that nothing they do can impress God, only please Him, and that sons and daughters are able to receive correction as love rather than rejection.

"I didn't really want what God wants. I wanted it my way." Pastor Sean Gleason felt called to plant his own church. God had something else in mind, a seat already ready for him.Pastor Landon Schott and Pastor Sean talk about faithfulness, submission, and killing ambition. Pastor Sean shares his journey from a psych ward to the pulpit, what it looks like to expose pride instead of hiding it, and why Instagram doesn't tell the story of favor. If you lead people who are hard to lead, or you're the one who's hard to lead, this one's for you.

Pastor Will Ford unpacked the power of the anointing as a spiritual fragrance that carries the presence of Jesus — attracting heaven and repelling darkness wherever We go. The call of the message was simple: stop being Martha, distracted by doing, and become Mary, anchored in gazing — because one glimpse of your eyes toward Him ravishes His heart, and He's inviting Us from a glimpse to a gaze.

In this message, we go deeper into spiritual dreams—learning to recognize the difference between warning dreams and demonic encounters, and how God can use dreams to reveal, warn, protect, and guide us. Discover how humility, prayer, Scripture, and wisdom help us discern what God may be communicating and respond faithfully to His voice.

In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to wage war against the demonic spirit of mammon, drawing from Matthew 19 and Matthew 6. He unpacks the truth that mammon is not just money, it is a spiritual master that competes directly for your love for God, and that you reveal what you truly love by what you obey. Pastor Sean challenges believers to stop rationalizing disobedience in the area of finances and to recognize that the same spirit that kept the rich young ruler from following Jesus is the same spirit keeping many believers from fully surrendering to the Lord today. Pastor Sean warns that mammon operates on both ends of the spectrum, through the prosperity gospel that makes money the point of the Christian life, and through the poverty gospel that finds spiritual pride in lack. He calls the church to reject both ditches and to walk in radical, joyful obedience through generosity, because generosity is not just a spiritual discipline, it is a warfare strategy that expands the kingdom of God and cuts off the enemy's supply line. This message challenges believers to tithe first as an act of declaring God as their first priority, to stop letting their bank statement determine whether they obey God, and to understand that mammon will never satisfy because only the Prince of Peace can meet the deepest needs of the human heart.

In this powerful message, “Don’t Tolerate Jezebel,” we explore spiritual warfare, discernment, and the battle for our will.

Landon made a vow to God that he would never pastor. It almost cost him Mercy Culture. In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, Pastor Landon Schott exposes inner vows — the self-made promises that decide what you'll do before God ever speaks. He opens with the vow that nearly kept him out of his calling ("I will never pastor"), the drive through Fort Worth where God answered, "You said that, I didn't," and the 40-day fast that finally broke it. This episode includes a guided prayer of repentance, five practical steps to break inner vows, and listener Q&A on vows, forgiveness, leading a spouse, and the difference between learning from mistakes and telling God never.

In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to fight mental warfare as spiritual warfare, drawing from Mark 9 and 2 Corinthians 10. He unpacks the truth that much of spiritual warfare begins in the mind, and that what culture calls mental illness, the Bible often calls demonic. Pastor Sean challenges believers to stop waging war in the flesh through medication, diagnosis, new age practices, or other substitutes, and to pick up the spiritual weapons that God has given them. Pastor Sean shares his own powerful testimony of years of depression, suicidal thoughts, and torment from childhood, culminating in a miraculous deliverance while simply encountering God in a daily moment of worship and prayer. He challenges the church to stop seeking one-time deliverance experiences and instead build a life of daily encounters, because one encounter with God can set you free but daily encounters with God will keep you free. This message challenges believers to renew their minds practically by writing down their lies and asking God what He says about them, memorizing the word of God, exposing their thoughts to others in authentic community, and doing the opposite of what the enemy tells them to do. The goal is not just to be free from the yoke, but to outgrow it so it can never return.
