Apostolos

What happens when God calls you to step beyond what is comfortable, familiar, or convenient? In this powerful message, Pastor Mila challenges us to recognize the voice of God, respond with faith, and embrace the assignment He has placed on our lives. God’s call is not just an invitation to go somewhere—it is an invitation to trust Him, surrender our plans, and become available for His purposes. Whether He is calling you across the street or across the world, the question is the same: Will you answer? Be encouraged and challenged to say yes to God’s call, step out in faith, and allow Him to use your life to make an eternal difference.

What does it really mean to be “good”? In this powerful main session from SEND Conference, Jamie Corcoran, lead pastor of one of the fastest-growing and largest churches in Ireland, challenges us to rethink what it means to live a good life. The biblical word “good” is Tov—a word that speaks of something being whole, complete, and flourishing according to its God-given design. Being “good” isn’t simply about being a good person; it’s about fully living out the purpose and potential God has placed within you. Jamie invites us to move beyond simply asking, “Am I good enough?” and instead ask, “Am I becoming everything God created me to be?” Listen and discover what it means to live Tov—fully alive, fully aligned, and fully engaged in God’s purpose for your life.

What if one of the greatest gifts God has given Hawaiʻi is something we were never meant to keep to ourselves? At the Send Conference, Pastor Kiha Pimental shares a powerful message about the significance of what we carry as people who live in Hawaiʻi: Aloha. Aloha is more than a greeting. It is something we first receive from God—His love, grace, presence, and generosity—and then something we are called to share with the world. Listen as Pastor Kiha challenges us to recognize that what God has placed within us is not simply for Hawaiʻi. Aloha is something we receive, something we embody, and something we are sent to give away.

What does it look like to live intentionally wherever God sends you? In this episode of Apostolos, we sit down with Josh, whose heart is to see every place, every conversation, and every person as an opportunity to live on mission. His passion has taken him around the world, reaching unreached people groups and bringing the hope of Jesus to people who may have little or no access to the gospel. Listen as Josh shares his heart for the nations, what he has learned from stepping outside of his comfort zone, and why being “sent” isn’t just something we do on a missions trip—it’s a way of life. Wherever you go, God has placed you there intentionally. The question is: Will you live intentionally? This is Apostolos. Live sent.

Join counselor Joshua Holloway for a powerful conversation on the life-changing power of forgiveness and its role in personal and spiritual freedom.

Whether you’re carrying wounds from your past, struggling to let go of hurt, or seeking deeper emotional and spiritual healing, this episode offers practical wisdom, biblical insight, and encouragement to help you move toward freedom. Discover why forgiveness is not about excusing the offense—it’s about releasing the burden and embracing the peace, healing, and deliverance that come through letting go.

In this episode, I sit down with Dion Maeda, senior pastor of Connect Point Church in Hilo, to talk about leadership, growth, and the hidden cost of success. Under his leadership, the church has expanded from just 50 people to a thriving community of 700—but the journey hasn’t come without personal challenges. Dion speaks candidly about his struggle with workaholism, how ministry success can quietly fuel unhealthy patterns, and the toll it took on his life and relationships. What makes this conversation especially powerful is the turning point: a sabbatical that forced him to slow down, step away, and confront deeper questions about identity, calling, and rest. This episode explores what happens when outward growth outpaces inner health—and how God meets us in the pause. If you’re leading, building, or constantly “on,” Dion’s story offers both a warning and an invitation. Tune in for an honest, grounding conversation about ambition, burnout, and the kind of renewal that reshapes everything.

In this powerful episode of the Apostolos Podcast, Pastor Brad and Esther McDaniel, statewide directors of Harvest Family Life Hawai‘i, share an urgent and eye-opening look into the current foster care crisis. With the system stretched beyond capacity, foster families across the islands are facing deep burnout—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Brad and Esther speak candidly about the realities on the ground: too many children entering care, not enough supported families to receive them, and the growing need for community to step in and stand in the gap. But in the midst of the strain, they also share a remarkable story of hope—a breakthrough moment they describe as a miracle. After years of distance between the faith community and the state foster care system, God opened an unexpected door for unity, collaboration, and shared purpose. What followed was a powerful shift, bringing new alignment and fresh momentum to care for vulnerable children and the families who serve them.

In this episode, Jeremy reflects on those early days of obedience—praying boldly, stepping into uncomfortable moments, and discovering that God shows up when we say yes. Many of the core values that now define Chi Alpha—authentic discipleship, Spirit-led ministry, and raising up student leaders—can be traced back to those formative experiences.

In this episode of the Apostolos Podcast, Bradley and Michele McKoy share their powerful journey through Kingdom Builders and how God transformed their perspective on giving and missions. Michele opens up about her honest beginnings as a skeptic when it came to giving to missions. What started with hesitation and questions eventually became a story of trust, faith, and joyful generosity. As Michele embraced the heart behind Kingdom Builders, something unexpected happened—her generosity didn’t stop at giving financially. It led her to go. What began as supporting missions turned into personally stepping onto the mission field and seeing the impact firsthand. This conversation is a reminder that generosity is not just about resources—it’s about transformation. When we open our hands, God often opens doors we never imagined walking through. Listen in and be encouraged by a story of faith, obedience, and the adventure that can begin with a single step of generosity.

In this staff chapel message, Pastor Joshua Ko teaches that reconciliation often precedes revival. Before the Spirit moves in power, God restores relationships among His people. After His resurrection, Jesus Christ breathed on the disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit” and immediately spoke about the authority to forgive sins (John 20:22–23). The first evidence of the Spirit’s work was a ministry of reconciliation. Revival is not just about powerful gatherings—it begins when believers humble themselves, forgive, and make things right with one another.

In this powerful episode from the District Refresh, Pastor Philip Deas unpacks how so many of us build our lives on lies we’ve come to believe—lies that shape our identity, choices, and even our destiny. What begins as a false idea becomes a belief, and that belief eventually drives our behavior. But the good news is this: those lies don’t have to define us.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who God says you are, this message will help you break the cycle and rebuild your life on truth.

Today we’re joined by Destiny Deas, who brings a powerful word from Acts chapter 1. She unpacks how the disciples, though close to Jesus, limited what He could do because they only understood life through what they already knew. But Jesus was calling them to something greater — to wait for what they hadn’t yet experienced… the new impossible. In this episode, Destiny challenges us to step beyond our comfort zones, to not let what we know become the ceiling of what God can do, and to posture ourselves — like the disciples — to receive the power of the Holy Spirit that changes everything. So get ready — this message will stretch your faith and open your eyes to the God who is always doing something new.

💬 Being an Introvert Isn’t an Excuse — It’s an Opportunity Let’s be real: being an introvert isn’t a flaw. It’s how God wired you — thoughtful, observant, deep-thinking, and sensitive to others. But here’s the truth we can’t ignore: 👉 Being an introvert is not an excuse to stay silent when God calls you to speak. Yes, crowds might drain you. Conversations might take energy. And yes, you probably prefer deep one-on-one talks over small talk and stage lights. But obedience to God isn’t based on personality — it’s based on surrender. Moses tried the same excuse: “I’m not good with words.” And yet, God still called him. And He still used him — not despite their limitations, but through them. 🚫 So no, introversion isn’t your permission slip to sit out on the Great Commission. ✅ It’s your unique platform to reach people in ways others can’t — with quiet courage, patient listening, and personal depth.
