Kingdom Reset Podcast

Many believers are sincere, Bible-centered, and deeply committed—yet still feel unsure about God’s will for their lives. Who to marry. What calling to pursue. Which direction is actually God’s. In this episode of  Kingdom Reset , we explore why Scripture alone—while essential—doesn’t answer every personal decision, and how confusing God’s  general will  with His  specific will  can quietly derail...

The Bible is the foundation of our faith — but is it the  only  way God communicates? In this episode, we unpack a crucial distinction most Christians never hear:  Scripture as the filter, not the firewall, of God’s voice. Using a clear  encryption / connection analogy , we explain: Why Scripture is essential for discernment How God gives personal guidance without adding to the Bible Why extremes...

You’ve heard the Trinity explained with an egg, states of matter, and other weak illustrations. But the real blueprint was right in front of us the whole time. This episode uncovers why your inner conflict exists, how the Fall disrupted humanity’s original design, and why Jesus’ work reunifies what was separated. If you’ve ever felt like part of you pulls away from what God is calling you to… this...

Most Christians read 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5 then stop at “caught up.” But Paul wasn’t just predicting the return of Jesus—he was revealing how hope, grief, resurrection, and judgment all intersect. In this episode, we’ll dive deep into what it really means to be ready for the return of Christ… and how your understanding of the Kingdom will shape everything. ➡️ What happens to believers who die be...

This episode of Kingdom Reset might rattle a few cages. Mark sits down with James Spurgeon to talk about the roots of King James Onlyism, why it's become such a dividing line in IFB circles, and how discovering the truth opened up freedom and clarity. They even reveal how some of the movement's most respected leaders weren’t actually KJV-Only. You don’t want to miss this one. #KJVOnlyism #...

Yes, I was part of that world. The one where you got rebuked for not having a baptism on your bus route—and the person with the fewest “salvations” got handed a Golden Broom. In this episode with James Spurgeon, host of the Texas Baptist Crucible Podcast, we laugh (and wince) our way through some of the craziest expectations from our time in the IFB in the 1990's and 2000's—and how God has since r...

Should women wear pants? Are shorts a sin? What does the Bible really say about modesty? Mark takes on one of the most loaded topics in legalistic church circles—clothing standards. With both humor and grace, he challenges long-held beliefs and calls Christians to walk in the Spirit instead of fear. This isn’t about rebellion, it’s about freedom through wisdom and context. #ChristianModesty #Kingd...

Is it possible that what you were taught about worship music was more cultural than biblical? In this candid and sometimes humorous episode of Kingdom Reset, Mark opens up about his transformation from a strict Independent Baptist background—where syncopation was practically a sin, to a life-giving rediscovery of freedom in worship. He walks through his personal story of being a sacred music major...

Since when did “pastoral leadership” mean controlling your life? In this episode of Kingdom Reset, we’re pulling back the curtain on a growing problem in church culture: pastors demanding power they were never given. From “veto power” over personal decisions to using fear as a tool for obedience—this isn’t shepherding. It’s spiritual domination dressed in religious language. Jesus gave pastors aut...

There’s a philosophy that quietly reinforced an entire culture of control, isolation, and spiritual limitation—King James Onlyism. In this vulnerable first episode, I briefly share my journey out of the extreme wing of the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) movement, why God told me to start the podcast with this topic, and how this one belief became the membrane holding the whole bubble togeth...
