The Rise Up Culture

09/16/2026

Your kids can hear from God right now. Not someday. Now.

This Saturday in RUAH NextGen, our kids quieted their hearts and asked the Lord one simple question: What do You want to do through me? Some wrote it down. Some drew it. Some just said it out loud. And a few walked away ready to serve.

You can do this at your own table tonight. Ask your kids what they sense God saying to them. Then just listen.

NEW EPISODE ‼️ A Psychologist Found Jesus at 39. Now She Shows People How to Actually Heal. - Episode 190 w/ Moriah Thomas

Moriah Thomas spent years studying the human mind and treating trauma. Then she found Jesus at 39-and began discovering a kind of healing she had never been taught in psychology.

Moriah holds multiple degrees in psychology and counseling, including a doctorate. But after coming to faith, she began hearing the voice of God, seeing angels and the spiritual realm, praying in tongues, experiencing deliverance, and pursuing the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Then her understanding of trauma began to change.

Today, Moriah helps people uncover wounds and beliefs that may have been buried for years-not simply by teaching them how to cope, but by helping them quiet their minds, listen for Jesus, and allow Him to speak truth into the places that still hurt.

In this conversation, Moriah and Stacy explore the difference between managing trauma and healing it, how to recognize the voice of God, what Moriah sees in the spiritual realm, and why she believes many Christians are living with far less freedom and intimacy with Jesus than is available to them.

Stacy also shares what happened when he personally went through one of Moriah’s two-hour freedom sessions-and Jesus brought up something from his childhood he hadn’t thought about in decades.

One of the greatest hindrances in the church isn't sin. It isn't even fear. It's thinking too small.

Jesus says it, so we obey it. That's it. No overthinking, no waiting for it to make sense first. But that means we have to be willing to expand what we believe is possible. Are we willing to think the way God thinks?

What if the supernatural life of God is closer than we've been taught to expect?

This week Drew sits down with Tom Johnson, who together with his wife Elaine has walked in Freedom and Deliverance ministry for over 50 years. They talk about miraculous healing, real encounters with angels, and what it actually looks like to walk with Jesus every single day.

This one will stir something in you. New episode is live now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CBLBIuM7NgU?si=R1SXu4c67Q78MnRu

This past Saturday in RUAH Next Gen, we dug into something Pastor Drew shared with our Rise Up family. Jesus had all the authority of the Father in His hands, and He used those hands to pick up a towel and wash feet.

Our kids talked about what that means for real leadership. It is not about being the boss or being the best. It is having all that authority and choosing to serve anyway.

This week, practice the declaration and hand motion together as a family: "Jesus served me. Now I lead like Jesus and serve others and show them His love." Let your kids lead you through it.

So thankful for Kari sharing her testimony the past week in service! At Rise Up we believe in celebrating what God is doing, together.

That is why we are setting aside time in our services for testimony, a chance to pause, share, and rejoice with one another over the ways God has moved. Sometimes we forget how good He has been until we hear someone else's story and remember our own.

Has God done something in your life or through Rise Up Culture that you want to share? A prayer answered, a provision made, a healing, a breakthrough, a moment you knew He was near? We want to hear it.

Send your testimony to [email protected] and we would love to share it during a service or feature it here with our Rise Up family.

Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear to believe He can do it for them too.

You don't need the whole map. You just need the next step. If God called you to it, He is already equipping you for it. Not tomorrow. Not once you feel ready. Right now, in the middle of the unknown, He is providing the wisdom, strength, and grace you need to walk it out.

So many of us stall out waiting to feel fully prepared before we move. But that was never how this works. God gives daily bread, not a ten year supply. He meets you in the obedience, not before it.

You may not see the whole journey today. But you can trust Him for this step. And that is enough.

What is one step God is asking you to take right now, even without all the answers? Comment CALLING and we will send you the link to discover how God uniquely wired you for what is ahead.

Jesus had all the authority in heaven and on earth. And He picked up a towel.

That's not a downgrade. That's the whole point.

He also said, "I can do nothing on my own." The most powerful person who ever lived depended fully on His Father, not out of weakness, but because dependence is where real power lives.

The towel is greater than the title. Dependence is greater than independence.
