Breaking Through The Noise

When a holy awe of God is missing from our pursuit of Him, all that remains is hype and performance. But when we truly behold Him, everything changes.In this powerful message, I expose one of the most under-preached truths in Scripture, the fear of the Lord, and show how it is not terror that drives us away from God but awe that draws us close.Through the story of Isaiah’s encounter in Isaiah 6, I reveal that the fear of the Lord is not about punishment but about Presence. When we see Him rightly:Sin loses its grip.Striving gives way to surrender.Holiness becomes the natural result of intimacy.This message will awaken your spirit to rediscover what happens when you truly behold God, when you move from religious performance to personal transformation.Scriptures Referenced:Isaiah 6:1–8, 2 Corinthians 3:16–18, Hebrews 12:28–29, Psalm 27:4, Exodus 20:20Key Takeaways:You do not get holy by trying harder; you get holy by looking longer.The fear of the Lord is not punishment-based; it is presence-based.Sin cannot stand where His presence abides.True transformation begins with beholding His beauty.About the Message:If you are weary of surface-level Christianity, tired of chasing hype, or ready to experience the power of God’s holiness again, this message is for you.It is time to stop striving for perfection and start beholding the One who makes you whole.00:00 Introduction and Current Times00:48 The Power of Beholding03:26 Understanding the Fear of the Lord08:03 Isaiah's Encounter with God11:34 Personal Story and Revelation14:56 The Enemy's Limitations20:18 The Importance of Worship25:57 Grace, Fear, and Holiness31:06 Call to Behold and Transform37:04 Closing Prayer and FarewellSubscribe for more bold, reformational episodes that equip and challenge.Follow me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryancoleempowerment/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryancoleempowerment/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryancoleempowerment#FearOfTheLord #BeholdingGod #RyanCole #Holiness #PresenceOverPerformance #Transformation #Revival #Isaiah6 #PropheticPreaching #KingdomCulture #EncounterGod #Jesus

We have just crossed over into Rosh Hashanah, the biblical Feast of Trumpets and the beginning of the Hebrew year 5786. This is not just another date on the calendar. It is a prophetic moment, a wake up call from the Lord to return to His original design for the church, to strengthen our homes, and to fasten our words and our lives to covenant truth.In this message, I share what God has been speaking to me about this new year. We are in the decade of the open mouth. The number six, Vav, speaks of a nail and a connector. The Lord is putting a spotlight on the family table as a place of covenant, discipleship, and preparation for the harvest. We are in a time of shifting and sifting, and the trumpet is sounding. Wake up. Remember what I have done. Turn back to the King.If this word resonates with you, I invite you to connect with us:Abiding Church (Greer, SC): https://www.abidingchurchsc.org/Empowered Culture Ministries: https://www.empoweredcultureministries.org/Your prayers and partnership make this work possible.

We are entering an era where artificial relationships are being marketed as emotional solutions. In this episode of Breaking Through the Noise, I respond to recent developments in AI, including Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of customizable AI “friends”—and explore what this means for the future of human connection, dating, marriage, and parenting.What does it mean to be truly human in a world flooded with synthetic interactions? As the line between real and artificial continues to blur, the Church must rise as the last pure example of Kingdom relationships.This episode is not just a warning—it’s a roadmap. It’s time for the body of Christ to set the standard for meaningful connection in a disconnected world.BTTN Episode 6Text me directly with your questions or connect: 864-428-7131Learn more or support the mission & partner with us: ⁠https://EmpoweredCultureMinistries.org⁠Subscribe for more bold, reformational episodes that equip and challenge.00:00 The Rise of AI Companions01:22 The Kingdom Response to AI02:34 The Church's Role in a Synthetic Age03:55 AI's Impact on Society and Education06:26 News Brief: AI Developments10:25 Meta's Vision for AI Companions17:05 Jesus and the Samaritan Woman: A Model for True Connection28:39 Jesus and the Woman at the Well29:54 AI's Limitations in Relationships32:01 The Church's Unique Role in the Age of AI33:28 Contrasting Jesus' Relational Healing with AI37:05 Living Water vs. Empty Wells39:13 The Future of AI and Human Relationships42:58 The Church's Response to AI49:17 A Prophetic Forecast on AI52:38 Call to Action and Final Prayer#breakingthroughthenoise #ai #artificialintelligence #aiandthechurch Follow me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryancoleempowerment/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryancoleempowerment/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryancoleempowerment

Have you heard the parable of the soil? Many have interpreted it wrongly. In this episode, I’m challenging the modern church’s obsession with fixing bad soil tonight. Jesus never told us to transform thorny, stony, or shallow ground—He told us to sow the Word and reap from good soil. This teaching reframes the Parable of the Sower not as a pastoral comfort message but as prophetic instruction for Kingdom builders.BTTN Episode 4Text me directly with your questions or connect: 864-428-7131Learn more or support the mission & partner with us: ⁠https://EmpoweredCultureMinistries.org⁠Subscribe for more bold, reformational episodes that equip and challenge.00:00 Introduction: The Role of the Sower00:07 Understanding the Foundational Parable00:39 Relational Insights: You Can't Change Others01:56 The Kingdom Message: Purpose of the Church03:58 The Parable of the Sower: A Deeper Dive05:15 Interpreting the Parable: Soil Types13:15 Challenges in Modern Evangelism15:12 The Call to Focus on Good Soil29:22 The Reality of Church Dynamics40:16 Conclusion: Embracing the Kingdom Model#breakingthroughthenoise #parableofthesower Follow me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryancoleempowerment/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryancoleempowerment/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryancoleempowerment

In this explosive episode, I break down the true identity and purpose of the Church—beyond the noise of cultural compromise, performance-based gatherings, and consumer Christianity. Drawing from the books of Acts, Ephesians, and Matthew 16, I reveal how Jesus designed the Church to be an Ekklesia—a spiritual governing body, not a social club or business.You’ll hear how we've misused language like “the church is a hospital” or “a filling station” and why it’s time for the Church to reclaim its role as a Kingdom embassy, full of trained ambassadors—not spectators. This episode is a prophetic call to reset, reform, and return to the true mission of the Church: equipping saints, discipling nations, and displaying God's manifold wisdom to the powers at work in the world.Text me directly with your questions or connect: 864-428-7131Learn more or support the mission & partner with us: https://EmpoweredCultureMinistries.orgSubscribe for more bold, reformational episodes that equip and challenge. #breakingthroughthenoise 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:51 The Church's Assignment and Call to Action02:28 Invitation to Join the New Church Plant03:30 Defining the Church: Ekklesia and Its Purpose04:57 Jesus' Teachings on the Church's Role13:50 The Church as a Governing Body28:13 The Church as a Kingdom Embassy32:25 Ephesians: A Guidebook for the Church39:57 The Church and Politics: A Delicate Balance40:51 Kingdom Citizenship: Higher Values and Ethics41:40 The Church's True Mission: Beyond Politics42:56 The Role of the Church in Society44:10 The Church's Primary Function: Glorifying God45:08 Beyond Personal Salvation: Governance and Discipleship47:34 Misleading Metaphors for the Church01:04:10 Kingdom Frameworks for the Church01:05:21 Conclusion and Call to Action

In this episode, we discuss the future of education and the church’s role in it. As the U.S. faces potential shifts in its education system with President Trump's executive order to begin shutting down the Department of Education, there is much for us to discuss!In this episode, I challenge the current model and call believers to reclaim the church’s original assignment as the educational institution of the Kingdom of Heaven. Drawing from Kingdom principles and the example of ancient Israel, this episode explores how identity formation, character development, and Kingdom leadership can be at the forefront of this educational shift. It's time for the church to move from performance-driven models to equipping, discipling, and educating the next generation.00:00 Welcome and Introduction01:40 Recap of Episode One02:46 Upcoming Panel Discussions04:05 Reclaiming the Church's Role in Education05:30 Critique of Modern Educational Systems06:02 Trump's Executive Order on Education06:21 Historical Perspectives on Education18:39 Challenges in Higher Education20:11 The Role of Technology in Education25:36 Identity Formation and Education30:40 Ancient Israel's Educational Model31:49 Advanced Torah Study and Family Apprenticeships32:13 Rethinking the Nuclear Family34:17 The Church's Role in Education37:55 The Biblical Foundation for Education39:00 Historical Role of the Church in Education45:27 Proposing a New Educational Model51:12 Identity Formation and Character Education54:11 Call to Action and Final ThoughtsText me directly: (864) 428-7131Learn more & partner: EmpoweredCultureMinistries.org#BreakingThroughTheNoise Follow me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryancoleempowerment/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryancoleempowerment/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryancoleempowerment
