In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Mohr — speaker and creator of The Pillar Diaries — to talk about the power of testimony, authenticity in the church, and how God uses both the seen and unseen to build His kingdom.Ashley shares her powerful story of growing up in church, walking away from God for nearly a decade, and ultimately finding restoration through a life-changing encounter. She opens up about the misconception that we have to “be good enough” to serve God — and how she discovered that it’s actually God’s goodness that qualifies us.This conversation dives deep into:- Why real, raw testimonies matter more than polished ones- The unseen people who are truly building the church- How your past doesn’t disqualify you — it prepares you- The biblical foundation behind The Pillar Diaries- How every believer can become a “pillar” in their generation

What about the thief on the cross?In this clip from Episode 218 of The Hacka Podcast, Greg Hackathorn and Simeon Costa respond to one of the most common objections in the baptism conversation.If the thief wasn’t baptized, does that mean baptism isn’t necessary?Together, we walk through Luke 23, the timing of the Old Covenant vs the New Covenant, and why the thief’s experience took place before the death, resurrection, and outpouring of the Spirit in Acts 2.This isn’t about dismissing the story — it’s about understanding when it happened and how that affects how we interpret it today.If you’ve ever used (or heard) this argument, this clip will help you see it in context.

In this powerful clip from Episode 219 of The Hacka Podcast, Cornelius Williams addresses one of the biggest challenges facing the church today — the rise of AI, digital information, and misplaced trust.We are living in a generation where people are quick to search, quick to ask AI, and quick to trust what they find online. But as Cornelius powerfully states:“God is not Google.”Not all information is truth.Not all answers are revelation.And not every voice deserves your trust.This is a timely and necessary message for believers navigating the digital age.

In this episode, we are joined by Taylor Fairbanks, church planter and pastor of Vessel Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.Taylor shares the powerful story of how God became real to him as a teenager during a moment of deep brokenness, the experience that awakened his calling to ministry, and the journey that eventually led him to plant a church in his hometown.This conversation explores the realities of ministry and leadership: from battling comparison and imposter syndrome to stepping into opportunities before you feel ready. Taylor also shares the incredible story of launching a church in the middle of the 2020 pandemic, the miracle provision that allowed Vessel Church to begin meeting, and the mindset required to reach a city with the gospel.If you’ve ever felt called by God but wondered whether you’re ready, this episode will challenge and encourage you to step into the place where the miracle is necessary.Topics covered include:- How God becomes real in personal experience- Overcoming insecurity and comparison in ministry- The mindset required to plant a church- The miracle story behind Vessel Church- Why stepping into the unknown is often where God moves mostSubscribe for more conversations that are equipping leaders and empowering believers to make a difference in their world.

Does Romans 10:9 mean baptism is unnecessary?In this clip from Episode 218 of The Hacka Podcast, Simeon Costa and I respond to one of the most common arguments in the baptism conversation: “All you have to do is confess and believe.”Together, they unpack the context of Romans 10:9, why it was written to the church, how it connects with the Book of Acts, and why confession, belief, repentance, baptism, and receiving the Spirit should not be pitted against each other.This isn’t about ignoring Paul. It’s about reading Paul consistently with Peter, Acts 2, and the broader message of Scripture.If you’ve ever wondered how Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38, and Mark 16:16 fit together, this conversation will help.------------Order Hacka Merch - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://the-hacka-podcast.myspreadshop.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Nancy Grandquist talks about the importance of anointed ministry and how the anointing flows in the life of a minister.

This is from her first appearance on the podcast all the way back in Episode 62.

Did Paul really say baptism isn’t necessary in 1 Corinthians 1:17?In this clip from Episode 218 of The Hacka Podcast, Evangelist Simeon Costa and I address one of the most common objections to the necessity of baptism. When Paul writes, “Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel,” what does he actually mean?Together, we walk through the context of 1 Corinthians 1, Paul’s own baptism in Acts 22, and his actions in Acts 19 to show there is no contradiction in Scripture. This conversation isn’t about debate — it’s about reading the whole Bible carefully.
