Mercy Culture

In this message, Pastor Landon Schott teaches how solitude is one of the primary ways we connect with God. Through the story of David and Goliath, we see that private encounters with God prepare us for public battles. Solitude is not isolation — it is intentional intimacy with God where He speaks, strengthens, and transforms us.

Pastor Jan Anderson shares a powerful Mother’s Day message honoring the strength, value, and God-given calling of mothers and women. Through the stories of Hagar, Rahab, and Samson’s mother, this sermon reminds us that God sees every tear, redeems every broken place, and calls women to arise in courage, faith, and truth. No matter your story or season, God is your Rock, your Redeemer, and your sustaining hope.

In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, Landon Schott is joined by Pastor Jaco Booyens (Lead Pastor of Mercy Culture Washington, DC and founder of Jaco Booyens Ministries) and Pastor Marco Leardini (Lead Pastor of Mercy Culture Orange County) to pull back the curtain on what it actually took to plant two Mercy Culture campuses in two cities, in two separate states, on the same day in one year. They share the year-long wrestle behind the public "yes" — the fear, the family mountains that had to be moved, the prophetic confirmations, and the demonic warfare that came on every side the moment they obeyed. From panic attacks and the spirit of Python to drones in the yard, decapitated animals, and the constant battle for spiritual covering, this is a raw, vulnerable conversation about what it really costs to follow the voice of God. If you're stewarding something big the Lord has put on your heart, this episode is a roadmap for hearing Him, getting your house in unity, and standing in faith while the enemy attacks.

There’s something powerful that happens when a woman fully surrenders to God. Through every season, every battle, and every unseen sacrifice, He remains faithful. Pastor Lisa Salvia reminded us that God is not just looking for perfection, He’s looking for surrendered hearts that trust Him fully in every season.

This message was a reminder that even in weakness, God’s strength is revealed. He still heals. He still restores. He still speaks. And when women rise up in faith and obedience, generations can be impacted. What a powerful Mother’s Day in the presence of God.

In this historic message, Pastor Les Cody shares a significant and Spirit-led announcement for Mercy Culture Waco, drawing from 1 Corinthians 13 and 2 Kings 4. He walks the congregation through an 18-month journey of prayer, prophetic confirmation, and irrational obedience as he and Pastor Nikki Cody transition to become the lead pastors of Mercy Culture Fort Worth, stepping into a broader apostolic call over all Mercy Culture campuses.

Pastor Les reminds believers that obedience to God never leads to regret, and that what may look like a goodbye is truly an expansion. He challenges the church to trust the Lord and their leadership as this transition is stewarded with prayer, fasting, and the fear of God.

This message also celebrates the announcement of Pastor Sean and Natalie Gleason as the incoming lead pastors of Mercy Culture Waco, declaring that what God has built here will only continue to grow as new containers are brought to the Lord to be filled.

The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community.
