  • Presence Driven Church (Part 2) | When “Now” Becomes an Idol | Sloan Adams | Year of Holiness
    Dec 17 2025

    Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.


    🔑 Key Takeaways

    When “Now” Becomes an Idol

    • Holiness requires waiting. Saying YES to God often means resisting the urge to act on NOW.
    • Impatience distorts trust. When we refuse to wait on God, we replace faith with control.
    • Unsubmitted desire becomes idolatry. What isn’t surrendered to God will eventually rule us.
    • Idols are often created from good things used wrongly. “Now” becomes dangerous when it replaces obedience.
    • Mercy is released through intercession. God responds to surrendered hearts that stand in the gap.
    • Broken obedience leads to broken trust. Compromise always costs more than it promises.
    • Leadership without holiness creates chaos. Where there is no YES to God, the flesh takes over.
    • Holiness demands decision. Choosing God’s side requires courage and clarity.
    • Delayed obedience is still disobedience. God honors a surrendered YES, not rushed action.
    • True holiness is choosing God’s will over personal urgency.


    Holiness is saying YES to God even when my heart is screaming NOW.

  • Walking in Holiness (Part II) | How To Enter His Presence | Eric Upton | Year of Holiness
    Nov 26 2025

    Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.


    1. Holiness comes from God’s presence.

    Daily encounters with Him—not willpower—produce holiness.

    2. God Himself leads His people.

    The “Angel of the Lord” carries God’s authority and guidance.

    3. Pay attention and obey.

    Spiritual growth begins with noticing God and responding to His voice.

    4. Kill your idols.

    You cannot keep God’s presence and keep your idols.
    An idol is anything that competes for your attention or affection.

    5. Build daily disciplines.

    Daily time with God teaches submission, helps you hear His voice, and fills you to minister to others.

    6. Do what pleases the Lord.

    Not just obedience—joyful surrender that brings God pleasure.

    7. Corporate encounters matter.

    Personal encounters are essential, but God speaks uniquely in community.

    8. Growth happens “little by little.”

    God transforms us gradually as we walk with Him.

  • Walking in Holiness (Part I) Killing The Foxes | Eric Upton | Year of Holiness
    Nov 11 2025

    Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.


    🔑 Key Takeaways


    🕊️ Understanding Holiness

    1. Holiness isn’t earned it’s imparted through Christ.
    2. Holiness is love in action loving what God loves and hating what He hates.
    3. Holiness means being set apart for God’s purposes.
    4. Holiness flows from relationship, not rules it’s the result of encountering God, not striving harder.

    🦊 The “Foxes” That Destroy Holiness

    “Little foxes spoil the vineyards.” (Song of Solomon 2:15)
    Small compromises erode holiness over time.

    1. The Fox of Sexual Immorality

    • Sexual immorality distorts God’s design for covenant love.
    • It enters subtly—through lust, fantasy, pornography, or compromise.
    • Kill it by: confession, starving temptation, walking by the Spirit, protecting your covenant, and honoring marriage.

    2. The Fox of False Religion

    • False religion distorts or adds to the Gospel.
    • It appears as inclusive religion, counterfeit Christianity, or demonic deception.
    • Kill it by: learning sound doctrine, memorizing Scripture, and living to please God—not people.

    3. The Fox of Hard-Heartedness

    • A hard heart leads to pride, judgment, and hypocrisy.
    • Kill it by: serving others, learning from compassionate believers, and expanding your world through mission and empathy.

    4. The Fox of Greed

    • Greed grows from fear—of not having enough, not being provided for, or not being enough.
    • Kill it by: cultivating stewardship, practicing generosity, and asking God how to use His resources.

    5. The Fox of Dishonesty

    • Dishonesty destroys trust and weakens holiness.
    • Kill it by: walking in vulnerability, celebrating honesty, and choosing humility over pride.

    💡 Core Principles

    • Small compromises lead to spiritual erosion.
    • True holiness requires daily vigilance.
    • Holiness thrives where honesty, love, and surrender abound.
    • Killing the foxes makes room for the fruit of holiness to grow.
