    S7E38 - A New Breed of Prophetic Ministry: Healing, Integrity & Hosting the Presence. With Ken Fish, Melissa Chalhoub, Grant Pemberton & Kady Taylor

    17/09/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    Ken Fish is joined by Grant Pemberton, Kady Taylor, and returning guest Melissa Chalhoub—a prophetic minister whose heart is to help people discern the voice of God with accuracy, humility, and love, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
    After several painful years of exposure and upheaval in prophetic ministry, this conversation asks the honest questions: What is God doing in the midst of it all? What is the enemy after? And how do we reform the prophetic without throwing it away? Together they hold two things at once—unflinching honesty about the abuse, hype, and lack of accountability that have wounded so many, and a deep conviction that genuine prophetic ministry heals, sets free, and points people to Jesus. Melissa shares candidly about her own journey and about learning to trust God's voice even through the smallest details.
    In this conversation:
    What God is doing—and what the enemy is after—in the shaking of the prophetic

    Why the prophetic heals, sets free, and points people to Jesus

    The "commercialization of the Holy Spirit" and the need for accountability

    "The answer to abuse is never neglect"—reforming without quenching the Spirit

    Acknowledging the pain of those wounded by prophetic abuse

    How every believer can learn to hear God's voice

    Melissa's own journey with the prophetic

    The role of discernment—and asking God for it

    Hosting the presence of God and "bringing back the ark"

    S7E37 - The Joy of Holiness: A New Testament Scholar on Consecration & the Fire of God. With Ken Fish, Dr. Craig Keener & Joel Taylor

    10/09/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    Ken Fish and Joel Taylor welcome back Dr. Craig Keener—one of the world's leading New Testament scholars and a returning speaker at the Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
    Bringing deep knowledge of Scripture together with a genuine hunger for the Holy Spirit, Dr. Keener unpacks this year's theme: consecration and holiness. He shares how he came to see holiness not as legalism or externals, but as loving God so much that nothing else compares—a burning, consuming fire. Drawing on the biblical language of light and glory and his firsthand experience of the 2023 Asbury outpouring, he describes a holiness that is deeply joyful: God's presence made accessible, His grace not only forgiving sin but transforming us into the image of His Son.
    In this conversation:
    Holiness as loving God above all—not legalism or externals

    The biblical language of light, glory & the cloud of God's presence

    Dr. Keener's firsthand experience of the 2023 Asbury outpouring

    Why grace is about both salvation AND transformation

    How word and Spirit belong together

    Walking and being led by the Spirit day by day

    "Consecrated in Christ"—already set apart, called to live it out

    How one generation's revival can become the next's legalism

    The awakening the church needs in this hour

    S7E36 - Church Planting, Discipleship & the Grace to Be Holy. With Ken Fish, Jimmy Seibert & Joel Taylor

    03/09/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    Church Planting, Discipleship & the Grace to Be Holy | Ken Fish, Jimmy Seibert & Joel Taylor 
    Ken Fish and Joel Taylor welcome back Jimmy Seibert—leader of Antioch Waco and the Antioch Movement, one of the most effective church-planting movements in the Western world, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
    Jimmy shares how the movement grew out of a full surrender as a young believer and a conviction that the local church is meant to both house and multiply the glory of God. The conversation ranges across world evangelization, why believers buy the lie that they aren't needed, and how partnering with God to reach every people group helps prepare the way for Christ's return. At its heart, it's about intimacy with God as the source of everything—"it takes God to do the work of God"—and why consecration and holiness are themselves a grace: power over sin, not just forgiveness of it.
    In this conversation:
    How the Antioch church-planting movement grew out of full surrender

    "A church for every 1,000 people"—and why the US is underserved

    Why the enemy's great lie is that you're not needed

    Partnering with God to "hasten" Christ's return (Matthew 24:14)

    Reaching the next generation through heart, home, and shared mission

    Discipleship that empowers rather than creates dependence

    Maturity as taking responsibility for your own walk with God

    Consecration and holiness as grace—power over sin, not just forgiveness

    Why you can't set others free until you've been set free

    S7E35 - Living Your Faith Out Loud: Consecration and Courage in the Face of Culture. With Ken Fish, Casey Harper & Joel Taylor

    27/08/2026 | 1h 24 mins.
    What does it take to live your faith out loud in a culture that resists it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with Casey Harper—D.C. journalist, host of The Outstanding Podcast, managing editor for broadcast at The Washington Stand, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
    From his vantage point between the White House and the Capitol, Casey shares his journey from small-town East Texas to the front lines of faith and public life. Together the three explore a recovered theology of persecution "for righteousness' sake," why a healthy faith must be able to stand even when the church is weak, the difference between partisanship and faithful engagement in the public square, and how personal consecration builds the fortitude to do the right thing under pressure. It all ties back to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and Casey's striking word from Joel 3: "consecrate for war," a call to spiritual preparation, not violence.
    In this conversation:
    Casey's journey from East Texas to faith and public life in D.C.

    What makes living your faith "out loud" so challenging today

    Recovering a theology of being "persecuted for righteousness' sake"

    Why a mature faith can stand alone—without abandoning community

    Partisanship vs. politics in the public square

    How consecration builds inner fortitude

    "Consecrate for war" (Joel 3)—preparation for the days ahead

    The example of Perpetua and the great cloud of witnesses

    Hope for a generation looking for something real

    S7E34 -Brokenness Before the Lord: Giving God Access to Your Heart. With Ken Fish, Jeffrey Fazl & Kady Taylor

    20/08/2026 | 1h 18 mins.
    What if the light God placed in you only shines as the vessel breaks? Ken Fish and Kady Taylor welcome back Jeffrey Fazl—longtime friend, church planter, and deliverance minister from Australia—for an honest, tender conversation ahead of the Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
    Jeffrey shares openly about seasons of "eclipse"—years in Indonesia, deep grief, and recent dark nights of the soul—and how the Lord kept drawing him back out with fresh purpose. From that comes the thread running through the whole conversation: brokenness feeds the carnal man, and healing it—through inner healing, deliverance, and confession together—sets us free to shine. Tying it to the conference theme, he unpacks luminosity as the light within, emerging not by striving but as the fear and performance that keep us hidden are healed.
    In this conversation:
    Jeffrey's seasons of "eclipse"—and how the Lord drew him back out

    Why "brokenness feeds the carnal man"

    How inner healing, deliverance, and confession work together

    Luminosity as the light within, emerging as the vessel breaks

    The difference between damaging brokenness and being broken before the Lord

    Keeping a soft heart instead of hardening it

    The war against a "performance" mindset

    Reaching the next generation with heroes, encounter, and real power
