Mercy Culture

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather Schott sits down with pastor, author, and apostolic leader Che Ahn for a bold conversation on revival, reformation, righteousness, and the role of the Church in culture and government. Together they confront the spiritual battle facing America, the call for Christians to stand for truth in a dark culture, and what it means to prepare the way of the Lord in this generation.

Pastor Che shares prophetic moments, personal stories, and decades of wisdom from leading revival movements around the world. This conversation will challenge you to reject compromise, pursue holiness, and become a reformer in your sphere of influence.

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.

In this message, Pastor Seth unpacks a powerful and often misunderstood truth: you can connect with God through creation—but creation was never meant to replace the Creator.

Starting in John 20, where Mary encounters the resurrected Jesus and mistakes Him for a gardener, we see something profound—the first picture of resurrection is found in a garden. This moment reveals that God has always used creation not just as a backdrop, but as a way to reveal Himself and speak to His people.

We break down three core purposes of creation:
Creation testifies of God, glorifies God, and connects us to God. From the precision of the universe to the worship of the heavens, everything in creation points back to Him—not to itself.

At the same time, we confront a growing cultural distortion. In a world where people are turning to astrology, crystals, and “the universe” for guidance, Scripture is clear: when creation leads back to you, it becomes idolatry—but when it leads you to God, it becomes worship.

This message brings both clarity and invitation. If you’ve felt spiritually dry, it may not be distance—it may be that you haven’t discovered how you were designed to connect with God.

You’ll walk away with practical ways to encounter Him in everyday moments—whether you’re on a trail, in your backyard, or simply paying attention. Because God is not silent in creation… the question is: are you listening?

In this message, Senior Lead Pastor Landon Schott confronts inner vows—when your heart has already decided what it will do before God ever speaks. Through the story of Esau, it shows how those quiet, internal decisions can lead you to miss what God has for you. This traces how inner vows form in pain and fear, and calls you to recognize them, repent, and return to alignment with His will before they shape your life.
