Mercy Culture

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather Schott sits down with Pastor Sean Gleason for a raw and honest conversation about depression, suicidal thoughts, medication, trauma, healing, and the power of Jesus to restore the mind. Together they confront cultural narratives surrounding mental health, the Church’s response to suffering, and the hope found in surrendering every part of your life to God.

Pastor Sean vulnerably shares his personal testimony of battling suicidal thoughts, searching for answers, and ultimately encountering the healing presence of God. This conversation challenges the Body of Christ to walk in compassion, truth, discernment, and freedom while reminding those who are struggling that they are not alone.

In this powerful message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to connect with God through meditation, drawing from Joshua 1. He unpacks the critical difference between biblical meditation and demonic meditation, revealing that biblical meditation is not about emptying yourself, it is about feasting on the word of God until everything else begins to exit. Pastor Sean challenges believers to choose what they meditate on, because their meditation will determine their direction.
Pastor Sean warns that when believers chew on the lies of the enemy rather than the truth of God, they give the enemy agreement and power over their lives. He calls the church to take every thought captive, not by suppressing it, but by bringing it before Jesus and making it listen to what God says.
This message challenges believers to understand that the prescription for seasons of transition is meditation on the word of God, because what got Israel into the promised land was not their strength, it was their willingness to think about the right things.
The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

Pastor Aaron unpacks the danger of partial obedience and reveals how rebellion often hides behind selective Christianity. Through the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 15, he confronts the ways believers can justify compromise, resist surrender, and place their will above God’s—while calling the Church back to full obedience, true surrender, and holiness before the Lord.

The Lord is not looking for casual believers. He is raising up people who are fully surrendered, rooted in truth, and unwilling to compromise.

Collin Spencer reminded us that following Jesus costs something. The Gospel was never meant to fit conveniently into our lives. It calls us to die to ourselves, pursue holiness, and live set apart in a culture that constantly pulls us toward comfort and distraction.

This is the hour for the Church to wake up, return to the Word of God, and burn with real passion for His presence again. Half-hearted Christianity will never sustain you in the days ahead. We need believers filled with conviction, obedience, and the Holy Spirit.
