Pastor Michael Koulianos on Revival and What the Church Is Missing Right Now Aug 12, 2026

Pastor Michael Koulianos has been in rooms where the Holy Spirit moved in ways that could not be explained, manufactured, or replicated. He has also been in rooms where everything was tried and nothing happened. This episode is a conversation about the difference — what revival actually is, what produces it, and why the church in the West is so hungry for something she has largely stopped making room for.
In this episode:
• The Holy Spirit is a person not a force — and that distinction changes everything
• You can grieve the Holy Spirit — what that means practically and why most of us do it without realizing
• Pastor Michael's personal story — how an encounter with the Holy Spirit redirected the entire trajectory of his life
• What it looks like when the Holy Spirit actually moves vs. when it is manufactured enthusiasm
• Revival is not an event — it is what happens when the people of God return to their first love
• What the church needs to recover right now and what Pastor Michael believes God is stirring
• How to position yourself and your community to make room for the Holy Spirit

Why Most People Struggle to Pray — and What Actually Helps Aug 05, 2026

The Lord's Prayer is not a prayer you pray — it is a school you attend. Every line is a classroom teaching you something about who God is, who you are, and what you actually need. This episode walks through the full framework of the Lord's Prayer alongside a practical theology of prayer for anyone who has ever wanted to pray more but did not know where to start.

In this episode:

Our Father in heaven — why the opening two words reframe everything about how you approach God
Hallowed be your name — what it means to treat God as holy before you ask for anything
Your kingdom come, your will be done — praying in alignment rather than negotiation
Give us today our daily bread — why Jesus taught us to ask for today's needs and not tomorrow's
Forgive us our debts as we forgive — the uncomfortable condition built into the prayer
Lead us not into temptation — what this reveals about our own vulnerability
The six windows of prayer and how to find which one connects you most deeply to God

Don't Mistake Adrenaline for Anointing Jul 29, 2026

Making disciples does not mean getting people to pray a prayer and tick a box on belief. It means immersing them in the character of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the way you live — and then teaching them the patterns of life that flow out of believing the right things. This episode reframes the Great Commission from the ground up and makes the case that you are the only Jesus some people will ever see.

In this episode:

Adrenaline vs. anointing — and how easily we confuse them
Why the early church was seen as a philosophy not a religion — and why that distinction matters
The prize is not a crowd — pizza gets people to show up, but that is not discipleship
Jesus chose the shepherd as the primary metaphor for leadership for a reason
Angela's experience of being thrown on stages before being rooted in a local church
The only Jesus people will ever see is the one you represent — do they fall in love?
What Matthew 28 actually means — soaking people in the character of the Trinity by how you live

Your Body Is Not a Problem to Fix — It Is a Temple to Steward Jul 22, 2026

Wearing your body down is not a badge of how hard you are working for Jesus. It is a sign that something has gone wrong. This episode makes the case that your body is a spiritual reality — not a machine to manage — and that how you sleep, eat, rest, and move is an act of worship just as much as anything that happens on Sunday morning.
In this episode:
• The Gnostic lie the church has inherited — physical bad, spiritual good — and why it is not biblical
• Why your body carries the weight of unprocessed emotion and trauma
• The three major factors of soul health relative to the body: diet, exercise, and rest
• Darren's story of bleeding internally at 29 — and what it took to realize his body was not the enemy
• Angela's story of panic attacks, disordered eating, and learning what her body was actually saying
• Why Sabbath is not about doing nothing — it is about learning to receive being loved for no good reason
• What it means to steward your body as an offering to the Lord rather than an idol to perfect

Why Lust Is Not About Sex — and Every Sin Is Actually a Misdirected Desire for God Jul 15, 2026

Every sin is a distorted desire. Underneath lust is a longing for connection. Underneath anger is a loss of identity. Underneath sloth is an inability to love yourself enough to take care of yourself. This episode walks through the seven deadly sins not as a list of behaviors to avoid but as a diagnostic tool for understanding where the soul has gone sideways — across every dimension of your life

In this episode:

Pride as an inaccurate view of self — and why inferiority is just as much a form of pride as superiority
Anger as a sign of lost identity — and why most angry people are actually the most insecure
Envy and the spark of pleasure when someone else fails
Sloth — not laziness but the neglect of things that matter, while staying busy doing everything else
Why greed, gluttony, and lust are all misdirected longings for connection with God
How the seven deadly sins work themselves out in each of the five dimensions of the soul
You can hide from God in 10 hours of prayer — the spiritual unhealth nobody talks about

What A Healthy Soul ACTUALLY Looks Like From the Bible Jul 08, 2026

Love is not a feeling first. Joy is not happiness. Patience is not passive waiting. And kindness is not just being nice. This episode walks through the fruit of the Spirit as the actual markers of a healthy soul — redefining each one from the ground up with Pastor Bill Dogterom, in a conversation that will quietly wreck you in the best way.
In this episode:
• Love as the environment the soul was made to swim in
• Joy as the energy cell — what enables endurance through the hardest seasons
• Shalom as pervasive wellbeing independent of circumstances
• Kindness as mercy and goodness as grace — the two most powerful forces for transformation in the universe
• Why the fruit of the Spirit are warfare characteristics not Hallmark card virtues
• The hardest part of the Christian life is not suffering — it is receiving good things without running off like a kid with a popsicle

You Don’t Have A Soul, You Are A Soul - A Biblical Framework with Bill Dogterom Jul 01, 2026

You are a soul, not someone who has one. This episode introduces a biblical framework for soul care with Pastor Bill Dogterom — covering what a soul actually is, why the physical and spiritual were never meant to be separated, and how discovering your primary window to God changes the way you grow for the rest of your life.
In this episode:
• What a soul is — Genesis 2 and the Hebrew word nefesh
• The five dimensions of the soul: physical, spiritual, social, mental, emotional
• Why your body is not separate from your worship
• Discipleship is making friends for Jesus
• How to discover your primary window to God

What the Bible reveals about true Worship — With Lindy Cofer Jun 24, 2026

The first time worship is mentioned in the Bible, a father is asked to offer his only son on an altar. That single scene in Genesis 22 becomes the archetype for everything worship means for the rest of Scripture. This episode traces that thread through Leviticus, Romans 12, and Revelation 4, and makes the case that knowing what worship actually is changes everything about how you live it.
In this episode:
• Genesis 22 and the principle of first mention — why the first time a word appears in Scripture sets the pattern for everything after
• Why Abraham's response of worship is wholehearted trust, not naive obedience
• Leviticus and the sacrificial system — why every sacrifice was about drawing near to God, not earning his favor
• Living sacrifices crawl off the altar — a practical framework for noticing what has quietly stopped being an offering to God
• The difference between worship songs and Christian music — and why that distinction matters more than people think
• Lindy's story from the mission field with Heidi Baker — when nothing in her toolkit worked except knowing who Jesus is
• Revelation 4 and the throne room of heaven — what is actually at the center of all reality

Reframing Parenting in Your Christian Walk Jun 17, 2026

98% of a worldview is formed by age 12. And if you are handing your kids a device and expecting Sunday morning to do the discipleship, the math does not add up. This episode is a completely unplanned but deeply needed conversation about raising resilient kids — from screen time and sheltering to the culture of your home and how God uses the hardest parenting seasons to form you.
In this episode:
• Why the goal is not to raise kids who are protected from everything but kids who can engage with anything
• The difference between sheltering and discipling — and why both matter
• What Darren asks his kids every time he drives them to school
• Why your instinct to shut it down when your kid asks a hard question is the exact wrong move
• Connection is everything — how to stay the safe place as they get older
• Bring them up in the culture of the Lord — what Ephesians 6 actually says about parenting
• What to do when you realize you are parenting with tools your own parents gave you that are not working

What It Means to Worship in Spirit and in Truth — A Conversation With Lindy Cofer Jun 10, 2026

Everybody worships. The only choice is what you worship. And pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. This episode opens John 4, builds a theology of worship with worship leader Lindy Cofer, and makes the case that worship is not a song you sing on Sunday — it is the whole orientation of your life, and scripture is the only thing that can keep it rightly directed.

In this episode:

What it means to worship in spirit and in truth — John 4 and the Samaritan woman
You become like what you worship — why that is the most important truth about the soul
Romans 12 and the living sacrifice — your whole life is on the altar
Lindy's testimony — from depression at 12 to the cross at 18 to 20 years of worship ministry
Screen time as a worship report — what your phone reveals about what you actually love
If we do not let the Bible define worship culture will

How to pray like Daniel to outlast any crisis. Jun 03, 2026

Daniel prayed three times a day at 85. The habits formed in him as a 15-year-old under Josiah's reformation sustained him through three kings of Babylon and all the way to the lions' den. This episode asks whether what we resolve as young people will last a lifetime — and makes the case that prayer is the counter-formational practice that makes it possible, especially now when AI, algorithms, and the attention economy are competing for the same attention we were made to give to God.

In this episode:

Daniel 6 and what a lifetime of faithful prayer produces
Only 10% of American Christians are resilient disciples — and the markers are basic
The attention economy is designed for addiction and the church needs to say so
AI is being designed for attachment and it will replace prayer if we let it
Five markers of resilient discipleship — and how to build them in the next generation
What prayer actually looks like — three honest testimonies from the hosts

Living Faithfully in a Distracted World - what Daniel 3 reveals May 27, 2026

You become what you worship. And the way transformation happens is not through information — it is through changing what you love. This episode opens Daniel chapter 3, traces the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego through the furnace, and builds a theology of worship for a generation being formed by everything except the presence of God.
In this episode:
• Every empire demands devotion — and Babylon is not coming, it is already here
• Music as formation — why Nebuchadnezzar repeated the instruments so many times and what that reveals
• The death of consumer Christianity — even if he does not, we will not bow
• Why worship is not a warmup but the war itself — the primary battleground for the soul
• James K.A. Smith on cultural liturgies and why what you repeat without thinking is shaping who you are becoming
• Angela's testimony of a hard season where worship was the first thing to go — and the last thing to come back
• Babylon gets redeemed not by escaping it but by worshiping faithfully inside it

Living for God in a distorted Culture — Lessons from Daniel May 20, 2026

Empire forms you before it forces you. That was Babylon's strategy with Daniel — and it is still the strategy today. New location, new language, new literature, new name, new food. All of it designed to rewrite a teenager from the inside out without him knowing it was happening. This episode reads Daniel chapter 1 and draws a direct line to the algorithm, the feed, and the culture forming the next generation right now.

In this episode:

Babylon's five formation tactics and their modern equivalents
Daniel resolved — what that Hebrew word actually means
How God works in Babylon through one person, one relationship, one act of faithfulness
Gen Z is not trying to survive culture — they are trying to win it
We are not here to destroy Babylon. We are here to redeem it.

Prophecy is Ordinary People Speaking God's Heart Into the World May 13, 2026

Paul never treats prophecy as a platform for gifted individuals. He situates it within love, order, and edification. That framework is what this episode is about — a full biblical theology of the gift of prophecy, what it looks like when it is working well, what goes wrong when it is not, and how every believer can grow in it.
In this episode:
• Prophecy in Acts: how the Spirit directed, mobilized, broke barriers, and prepared the church through this gift
• What prophecy actually is — spirit-empowered speech that reveals God's heart in the present moment
• Personal stories of prophetic words that were impossibly specific and deeply healing
• How to receive revelation, interpret it, and deliver it with humility
• The danger of emotionalism, projection, and spiritual manipulation in prophetic ministry
• The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy — what that means and why it matters
• How to grow in the prophetic: intimacy, humility, community, and risk
This series is sponsored by Logos Bible Software — and all three of us genuinely use it. Whether you're trying to go deeper in Scripture, prep for teaching, or just slow down and actually understand what you're reading, Logos is the tool.

Praying in Tongues — A Biblical Framework for One of the Most Misunderstood Gifts May 06, 2026

Without love, tongues becomes noise and prophecy becomes performance. That one line from Paul in 1 Corinthians reframes everything. This episode is a full biblical theology of the gift of tongues — what it is, what it is not, how it works, and why the gifts of the Holy Spirit only make sense in the context of love.

In this episode:

Three false teachings about tongues that need to be corrected
The biblical pattern of tongues in Acts — mission, inclusion, and the spread of the gospel to the Gentiles
What tongues actually are — and how they differ from prophecy in a public setting
Why tongues bypasses the analytical mind and reaches the places words cannot — the neuroscience connection
A man on the verge of losing his family, a prayer in tongues, and a story of radical transformation
Spiritual gifts are how love meets need — and without love, power loses its purpose
How to practically receive the gift and what to do if you feel skeptical

Same Sermon, Different Power — How the Holy Spirit Changes Everything Apr 29, 2026

Billy Graham preached the same sermon twice in one day. Same words, same man — completely different result. The only thing that changed was an encounter with the Holy Spirit in a small room hours before. That is what this episode is about: the kind of power that cannot be manufactured, and the four things that position you to walk in more of it.
In this episode:
• Authority, gifting, faith, and consecration — the power equation and what each one actually means
• Why authority is rooted in identity and what it looks like to live as a co-heir with Christ
• How to grow in the gifts of the spirit without being afraid to fail
• The difference between gifting and fruit — and why that distinction matters right now in the church
• Why a faithless prayer over a UPS driver named Eddie still led to a miraculous healing
• What it means that the faith you needed yesterday is not the faith you need today
• Consecration leads to visitation — and every revival in history backs it up

Who Is the Holy Spirit and What Does He Actually Do Apr 22, 2026

The Holy Spirit is not a force, not a feeling, and not just a theological concept — He is a person, and He is closer to you right now than if Jesus Himself were physically standing in the room. This episode answers the question who is the Holy Spirit from Genesis to Pentecost, and builds the case for why knowing Him changes everything.
In this episode:
• John 14 — Jesus promises another of the same kind, the Spirit of truth

What Does It Mean to Be Baptized in the Holy Spirit Apr 15, 2026

What does it look like to actually live a Spirit-filled life? Not the theory — the practice. This episode walks through the biblical case for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, answers whether it is a one-time or ongoing experience, and gets practical about how ordinary believers grow in the presence and power of God.
In this episode:
• Every gospel writer frames Jesus as the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit — what that actually means
• Power and authority are different things — and Jesus gives believers both
• What Paul means when he says do not grieve the Holy Spirit — and the lists he puts around it
• Why bitterness, gossip, and unforgiveness are the exact things that block more of God
• Three prayers that will change how you do ministry

What It Feels Like When You Encounter the Holy Spirit Apr 08, 2026

A bathroom in Tampa. A kitchen at golden hour. A church in Northern Ireland where a pastor had to be carried to his car. This episode opens a brand new series on the Holy Spirit with three real stories of first encounters — and builds the case that there is more available to every believer who is willing to ask for it.

In this episode, we talk about:

What revival actually looks like — and why it is already happening in Southern California and beyond
You can have as much of God as you want — A.W. Tozer on why hunger is the key
Ally's story: from empty and going viral to a Bible in Barnes and Noble and a life completely changed
Angela's first encounter with the Holy Spirit — alone, in someone else's bathroom, listening to a sermon
Darren's encounter in London that launched a church and changed how he understood the gifts of the Spirit
What to do if you have never had an experience like this and feel shame about it
Why word and Spirit have to go together — lessons from the Jesus Movement

The Devil, your flesh or sin? Mar 25, 2026

Most spiritual warfare does not show up as something dark and obvious — it shows up as pressure, confusion, broken patterns, and eroded joy. This episode names the three battlefields every disciple is navigating — the world, the flesh, and the devil — and gets practical about how to fight each one well.
In this episode:
• The three battlefields: the world, the flesh, and the devil — and what each one actually looks like
• Satan's primary weapon is not power — it is distortion of truth
• You cannot cast out flesh — you crucify it, and here is what that means practically
• Why consumerism applied to the local church is a demonic strategy
• Three models of deliverance ministry
• Not everything is demonic. Some things just require repentance.

Can a Christian Be Demon Possessed? Mar 18, 2026

Can a Christian be possessed? What does demonization actually mean? And what do you do when someone needs more than encouragement — they need deliverance?

• The literary setup of Mark 4 and 5 — why the storm and the demoniac are connected
• Demonization vs. possession: what the Greek actually says and what • • • • • • Hollywood gets wrong
• Six levels of demonic influence every believer should understand
• How habitual sin, addiction, and unbroken agreements open doors to the demonic
• A practical deliverance prayer model drawn from Catholic, Pentecostal, and charismatic traditions
• Personal stories of real demonic encounters — and how Jesus showed up every time
• Why the greatest wounds in your life might become the very thing He uses to set others free

Deliverance Ministry & Casting Out Demons Mar 11, 2026

Most people think of Jesus as a teacher and savior — but the gospels paint a picture of someone who also healed the sick and cast out demons everywhere He went. This episode breaks down the full scope of Jesus's ministry and what it means for followers of Jesus to continue it today.
In this episode:
• The three things that summarize Jesus's ministry in Matthew, Mark, and Luke
• Why removing exorcism from the gospels would destroy the entire narrative
• There is no neutral territory — two kingdoms, no in between
• Healing vs. deliverance: what the difference is and how to pray for both
• How false belief systems become open doors — and how to close them
• Why the good news according to Jesus is not just good teaching — it confronts evil

Can Demons Delay Your Prayers? (Daniel 10 explanation) Mar 04, 2026

Spiritual warfare most of the time doesn't feel spiritual — and that's exactly what makes it so dangerous. In week two of this series, Pastor Darren, Angela, and Elijah Lamb continue building the biblical framework: the unseen realm, cosmic spiritual beings, unforgiveness as a scheme of Satan, and what it actually looks like to take every thought captive.
In this episode:
• Ephesians 6:12 — what Paul means when he says our struggle is not against flesh and blood, and why that changes everything
• Daniel chapter 10 — the story of an angel held up 21 days by a demonic prince, and what it reveals about how the unseen realm works
• Can God's plans actually be delayed by spiritual opposition — and what does that mean for how we pray?
• Why unforgiveness is one of Satan's most effective and most overlooked schemes, and what Paul says about it in 2 Corinthians
• Taking thoughts and emotions captive — what it actually looks like as a daily practice, not just a Bible verse on a wall
• Angela shares vulnerably about intrusive thoughts, grief, and recognizing a spiritual attack in real time
• Why discipleship itself is warfare, and how the fruit of the spirit are formed in the fight

Spiritual Warfare: The lies Shaping Your Life Feb 25, 2026

We're kicking off a 6-week series on spiritual warfare — and we could not be more excited (or more in need of it). This week, Pastor Darren and Angela are joined by Bible teacher Elijah Lamb to lay the biblical foundation for understanding the world we actually live in. Spoiler: it's not neutral territory.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why the church is often less interested in the supernatural than the rest of the world — and why that's a problem
• What Genesis 1 reveals about the world before the fall (hint: creation wasn't finished — it was a war zone)
• Why Satan's primary weapon isn't power — it's deception, and how he distorts your view of God from the very beginning
• The lies you might be living under right now without even realizing it — and how to start identifying them
• Is it spiritual warfare or is it me? How to discern the difference (and why it might be both)
• The cross vs. the thorn: how to know whether God wants to free you from something or walk with you through it
• Why every act of obedience, love, and forgiveness is an act of war against the enemy

What It Actually Means to Follow Jesus Jan 28, 2026

Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we unpack why the Mary & Martha story is not a message to stop doing life — it’s an invitation to reorder your attention and learn to follow Jesus in the ordinary. We walk through Luke 10 in full context (the 72, the Good Samaritan, then Mary & Martha), and connect it to Mark 4 and the “worries of this life” that choke the Word.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why Luke 10 is a discipleship chapter (not a single isolated moment)
The difference between doing life for Jesus vs. with Jesus
What “distraction” really means in the Mary & Martha passage
Why attention shapes desire, and desire shapes behavior
Practical discipleship: habits, community, and training over time
How God forms us in everyday moments (work, family, emotions)
Phone addiction + micro-habits that create macro impact

The Gospel Is Simpler Than You Think. Jan 21, 2026

Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we answer two foundational questions for believers and non-believers alike: What is the gospel—and who is Jesus? Using Mark 1 as our starting point, we unpack how Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and why the gospel is an announcement of good news, not good advice.
In this episode we talk about:
• What Jesus meant by “the time has come” and “the Kingdom of God is at hand”
• Why the gospel is good news (an announcement), not good advice (self-help)
• The difference between a geocentric faith and a Christ-centered worldview• Why Jesus’ main message was the Kingdom of God—not just moral behavior
• What repentance and belief actually mean: changing your mind, changing direction, returning home
• How Jesus demonstrates the Kingdom through healing, deliverance, forgiveness, and restoration
• Why the cross matters: sin, death, and the devil defeated through Jesus
• What the resurrection means: the beginning of new creation
• What it means to pray “Your Kingdom come” and live as Kingdom participants today
• How the Holy Spirit transforms us over time and shapes discipleship in real life
