Before we're called to minister to others, we're first invited to minister to the Lord.

In this episode of the Sozo Kyle Podcast, we continue our Valuing His Presence series by exploring what it means to become people who genuinely host the presence of God. Through Scripture, stories of revival, and the example of the woman who poured out her worship at Jesus' feet, we discover that intimacy with God is the source of every fruitful ministry.

Whether you're hungry for revival, longing to deepen your prayer life, or simply want to know Jesus more intimately, this conversation will encourage you to return to your first love.

In this episode:

• Why the Church is called to be a house of prayer
• Ministering to God before ministering to people
• The connection between worship, prayer, and revival
• Rediscovering first love for Jesus
• Living a life marked by God's presence

In this episode of the Sozo Kyle Podcast, Shane Mannon continues our Valuing His Presence series with a practical and encouraging message on hearing God's voice and growing in the prophetic.

Many believers wonder if God still speaks today and whether they can learn to recognize His voice. Shane explores the biblical invitation for every believer to eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy, and challenges us to grow in confidence as we partner with the Holy Spirit to encourage and minister to others.

This message includes both biblical teaching and a live demonstration of prophetic ministry as Shane shares prophetic words and encourages members of the church family.

Whether you're new to the prophetic or have been pursuing it for years, this episode will help you develop a greater awareness of God's voice and a deeper confidence in stepping out in faith.

In this episode of the Sozo Kyle Podcast, we continue our Valuing His Presence series by exploring the abiding nature of God's presence and the invitation to follow Jesus simply because He is worthy.

The first disciples responded to Jesus before they understood the destination. Something in His words carried life. Something in His presence awakened their hearts. As Peter later confessed, "Lord, where else would we go? You alone have the words of eternal life."

In a world obsessed with goals, outcomes, and measurable success, Jesus offers a different way: abiding. Rather than pursuing Him for what He can give us, we learn to remain with Him because He is enough.

Join us as we discuss how intimacy with God shapes discipleship, transforms culture, and leads us into a life centered on His presence rather than our achievements.

In this episode, Christopher Ball shares the first message from Sozo Kyle's new teaching series, Valuing His Presence.

Before the Church can effectively go, send, build, and influence, it must first learn to dwell. Drawing from the biblical imagery of the mountain, this message explores God's invitation throughout Scripture for His people to ascend into deeper intimacy and encounter with Him.

From Moses to Jesus and beyond, the mountain has represented the place where heaven and earth meet. The challenge for believers today is not merely to admire the mountain from afar, but to climb it—to pursue God's presence through prayer, worship, and relationship—and then carry what they receive back into everyday life.

Whether you're hungry for a deeper prayer life, seeking greater intimacy with the Lord, or longing to understand the role of God's presence in Kingdom ministry, this message will encourage and challenge you.

Topics covered:
• Intimacy with God
• The mountain motif throughout Scripture
• Valuing God's presence over activity
• Prayer and spiritual formation
• Apostolic ministry and Kingdom impact
• Building a culture of presence

In this Mother’s Day message from Sozo Kyle Church, we continue our Called series by exploring how Kingdom Calling begins at home. Before calling is ever expressed publicly, it’s formed relationally through family, belonging, and spiritual connection.

We unpack the truth that your first ministry is not a platform, position, or stage—it’s the people God has entrusted to you. Without healthy spiritual family, calling can quickly drift into striving, performance, and exhaustion. But when your life is rooted in belonging, your calling flows from identity instead of pressure.

This message will encourage you to see how God uses ordinary faithfulness, relational environments, and spiritual family to shape extraordinary Kingdom impact.

In this episode:

• Why belonging is essential to effective Kingdom Calling
• How family becomes the launching place for mission
• The difference between calling rooted in identity vs. performance
• Why healthy homes and spiritual family matter in the Kingdom
• How ordinary faithfulness forms lasting influence

Sozo Kyle Church is a family on mission in the Kyle/Buda, Texas area committed to hosting the presence of God, equipping believers, and activating people in their Kingdom calling.

What if your calling isn’t random — but intentionally designed by God?

In Week 3 of our Called series, “Designed On Purpose,” we walked through a practical Kingdom Calling workshop centered around the Five Fold Ministry gifts found in Ephesians 4. This episode is designed to help listeners better understand how God uniquely wired them and how those gifts connect to their Kingdom assignment.

We discuss:

• The purpose of the Five Fold Ministry
• How spiritual gifts reveal calling
• Why identity and assignment matter
• Developing a personal Kingdom Calling phrase
• Practical steps toward activation and purpose

If you’ve ever wondered, “What am I called to do?” this conversation is for you.

In Part 2 of our Called series, we unpack a foundational truth: you were designed to hear the voice of God. Hearing Him isn’t rare—it’s part of what it means to be human and fully alive in Him.

This episode explores how spiritual clarity often follows surrender. When we give God a radical “yes” before we understand the details, the veil begins to lift and His voice becomes clearer. This posture of faith is essential for anyone who wants to hear God and walk confidently in their Kingdom calling.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you can truly hear God, this conversation will strengthen your faith and give you practical insight into recognizing His voice.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why hearing God is part of your design
• How surrender unlocks clarity and direction
• The power of saying “yes” before you have all the answers
• Growing in confidence as you hear God for your calling

In this message, You Are Called, we begin our series on discovering your God-given purpose and Kingdom calling. Rooted in Ephesians 4:1, this teaching unpacks the truth that every believer is called—not just a select few—and that your life carries unique solutions to real problems in the world.

Looking at the life of Mary, we explore what it means to partner with the favor of God, steward it well, and walk through doors that may feel impossible but are divinely designed. When you understand your calling and respond with obedience, you position yourself to see increased favor and greater impact.

This message will help you step into a deeper awareness of your purpose and invite you to begin walking in the calling God has already placed on your life.
