In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather Schott and co-host Pastor Jasmine Weiler sit down with Dr. Malachi O'Brien — revivalist, pastor, CEO of Malachi Media, and father to many adopted and fostered children — for a powerful, Spirit-filled conversation about the Church's call to adoption, foster care, and fighting human trafficking. Together they challenge the Body of Christ to move beyond anger and into action, declaring that the answer to the orphan crisis is not out there — it's us. From raw personal testimonies to a stirring call for an adoption movement in America, this conversation will wreck you in the best way.

Pastor Will Ford's message emphasizes that encountering God can happen through engaging with His creation. Using scripture from Genesis, Luke, and Deuteronomy, he highlights that humans, created in God’s image, have a sacred role in life and stewardship, and that standing for life—from the womb to the grave—is central to honoring God. He explores the historical and spiritual consequences of child sacrifice, abortion, and eugenics, drawing parallels from biblical accounts to modern practices, while urging men and the church to pursue holiness, protect the next generation, and participate in movements like the Citizens for Life as acts of connecting with the Creator.

Pastor Lindsey teaches how connecting with God through reformation invites surrender, obedience, and alignment with His heart. Using Saul’s conversion as an example, she emphasizes that God transforms individuals first, equipping them to bring righteousness, justice, and godly influence to the world around them.

In this message, Ps. Chris explores how movement—physical, spiritual, and intentional—can connect us to God. Drawing from biblical examples, from Adam walking with God in the garden to the Israelites circling Jericho, he shows that obedience, worship, and response often require action. Movement is more than exercise or ritual; it is a declaration of trust, a path to encounter God’s presence, and a way to carry His authority. Listeners will learn how their daily steps, gestures, and intentional actions can position them to experience breakthrough, spiritual alignment, and deeper intimacy with God. Ps. Chris challenges the church to move beyond passivity, embrace obedience, and respond to God’s voice with both body and spirit.
