Mercy Culture

America’s failures, sin, and strongholds are not greater than the Everlasting God. In this message, Dutch Sheets reveals how spiritual strongholds are dismantled through persistent prayer, repentance, and obedience—and why we must believe God is powerful enough to cleanse, restore, and turn a nation around.

In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to engage in spiritual warfare, drawing from Matthew 28 and Ephesians 6. He unpacks the truth that principalities are high-ranking demonic spirits that reign over regions, cities, and nations with the primary goal of blinding the minds of unbelievers from seeing the light of the gospel. Pastor Sean challenges believers to be aware of the spiritual realm without becoming obsessed with it, keeping their focus fixed on Jesus who holds the highest authority.

Pastor Sean walks through the history of Waco, revealing how the city has partnered with principalities of dishonor, covetousness, the orphan spirit, and false religion, and calls the church to unseat each one by lifting up the highest authority. He warns that every act of disobedience surrenders spiritual authority to the enemy, while every act of obedience partners with Jesus and reclaims ground.

This message challenges believers to understand that you unseat principalities not by binding and rebuking in your own name, but by lifting up Jesus, repenting of any partnership with the enemy, speaking His name, and boldly preaching the gospel everywhere you go, because the great commission was never meant only for the pulpit.

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, Sean and Natalie Gleason or another leader in our community.

Pastor Zane teaches on the reality of spiritual warfare and the weapons God has given believers to stand against the Enemy. Through daily encounters, the Word of God, the name of Jesus, fasting, praise, and more, we are equipped to fight from a place of victory.

Pastor Jeremy Dunn of Kingdom Culture Church joins Landon Schott for a raw conversation about rushing into ministry too soon — and why speed is never your friend, obedience is.

Jeremy opens up about starting full-time ministry at 16, getting licensed as a pastor at 18, and launching his first church at just 28 — and looks back with honesty about how young that really was. He shares hard-won lessons on staying submitted to spiritual covering, what it cost him to plant early, and a gripping story about a staff member who couldn't wait for God's timing. Landon and Jeremy also get vulnerable about moral failure, the danger of "professional hiding," and a defining prayer Jeremy prayed the night his church exploded in growth.

If you're a young leader feeling the pressure to move fast, this conversation is a warning and a covering: don't rush your development — wait to be sent.

Unseating Principalities — In this message, we dive into biblical spiritual warfare and what it really means to fight against "principalities and powers" (Ephesians 6:12). Discover the four spiritual strongholds identified over Austin — Pride, Chaos, Profanity, and the Orphan Spirit — and learn the difference between foolish, self-focused spiritual warfare and the wise way Jesus modeled: unseating the enemy not by fighting harder, but by lifting up the highest authority.
