The Elder

The word God in a simpler form

  1. 9

    The weight of obedience

    Obedience isn’t punishment — it’s God’s training ground for strength, clarity, and calling.If the weight feels heavy, it’s because He’s building the warrior you’re becoming.

  2. 8

    Permission vs Promise

    When you stop living like you need God’s permission and start walking in His promise, everything shifts. In this episode, Mike Smith breaks down the difference between waiting on a sign and moving with God’s guarantee. If God already spoke it, why are you still standing still. Step out of fear and into what He already declared yours.

  3. 7

    When God tells you to pursue

    Standing in the ashes of Ziklag, David does something most of us forget when life collapses—he asks God what to do next. In this episode, Mike Smith breaks down the power of seeking God’s instruction before making a move. When God says pursue, the outcome is already guaranteed. This teaching will challenge your emotions, sharpen your obedience, and remind you that recovery begins with inquiry. Step out of your box and into God’s direction.

  4. 6

    tradition, culture, and the real Jesus

    “Tradition, Culture, and the Real Jesus”Sometimes the Jesus we inherit from tradition or culture isn’t the Jesus of Scripture. This message uncovers the difference—stripping away man‑made layers so we can encounter the real, living Christ who transforms lives beyond rituals, rules, and expectations.#TheRealJesus #FaithOverTradition #CultureAndChrist #JesusRevealed #SpiritualClarity #TheVyperExperience

  5. 5

    Taking God into the streets

    “Taking God Into the Streets”Faith was never meant to stay inside four walls. This message calls us to carry God’s presence into real life—into our neighborhoods, our conversations, and the everyday places where people actually live and struggle.#TakingGodToTheStreets #FaithInAction #EverydayMinistry #GodInRealLife #StreetFaith #VyperTheExperience

  6. 4

    God beyond Sunday Service

    “God Beyond Sunday Service”God is bigger than a building and greater than a weekly routine. This message reminds us that His presence follows us into real life—into our work, our homes, our struggles, and our everyday moments. Faith isn’t a Sunday event; it’s a daily encounter with a living God.#GodBeyondSunday #EverydayFaith #WalkWithGod #SpiritualGrowth #FaithInRealLife #thevyperexperience

  7. 3

    When church hurts but God heals

    “When Church Hurts but God Heals”Sometimes the place meant to heal you becomes the source of your deepest wounds. But while people can fail you, God never does. Church hurt is real, but God’s healing is greater.#ChurchHurt #GodHeals #FaithJourney #HealingInGod #SpiritualRecovery

  8. 2

    God in our questions and doubts

    A reflection on how God meets us inside our questions, not outside them. This episode explores doubt as a doorway to deeper faith, honest wrestling, and a relationship with God that grows through mystery—not certainty.
