Ep. 180 – Heroes of Missions Pt. 1 Jul 23, 2024 Hey, Kingdom Family! In this week’s episode, Leif and Paul share about three eras of modern missions. From the Apostle Paul, Gutenberg, and Martin Luther to David Livingstone and Joshua Project, modern missions have changed significantly over the last centuries. The individuals we consider heroes of missions demonstrate what faith looks like and how it operates in far-reaching and dangerous

Ep. 179 – Heroes of Faith Jul 10, 2024 Welcome, Kingdom Family! This week, we’re introducing a new series called “Heroes of Harvest.” In this episode, Leif and Paul discuss the heroes of the faith outlined in Hebrews 11.

Ep. 178 – The Cost and Reward of Obedience Jun 25, 2024 Hey Kingdom Family! In today’s episode, my spiritual son Paul Yadao and I discuss the cost of obedience and share our personal stories about Friday moments when we thought all was lost. We share how to navigate the waiting period before Sunday when resurrection life comes! Taking up the cross and following Jesus is not always easy, especially today. So, if you are hungry for more and want to

Ep. 177 – My Part In His Plan Jun 11, 2024 You have an important part to play in God’s great plan! During Pentecost, the purpose of the baptism of the Holy Spirit was to initiate a “Holy go!” Acts 1:8 says, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, an in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We are all invited to be Jesus witnesses. It doesn’t matter if you are a d

Ep. 176 – The Unfinished Task Pt. 2 May 29, 2024 Hey Kingdom Family! I invite you to join me and my spiritual son, Paul Yadao, in Part 2 of the podcast “The Unfinished Task.” We hear Jesus’ clear invitation to go to places and cities where we will re-present Him to bring the Kingdom of God, and we see Him move in and through us. We also share how hospitality is a weapon of warfare and a key to finishing the unfinished task. Sig

Ep. 175 – The Unfinished Task pt. 1 May 21, 2024 As part of this series on fulfilling the great commission and doing it with a great commandment heart, the big question is, “What is the one thing that has stopped us from fulfilling what is His last command that should be our first priority?” And that is to take the Gospel to every nation and to be able to see a community among every ethnic group in the world so that Jesus can come back. I have s

Ep. 174 – Lambs Among Wolves Apr 25, 2024 It’s harvest time. We see in the scripture that when Jesus sent the 72 disciples in Luke 10, He sent them as lambs among wolves. Lambs are known for two things: to follow and fully depend. And that is what we need to be the harvesters in this end times: to hear and obey what the Lord of the harvest says. We are sheep among wolves, but we are the chosen ones to partner with Jesus. It’s harvest time

Ep. 173 – Led by Love | Samaritan Woman Pt. 2 Apr 25, 2024 This week, we’ll dive deeper into our discussion on the Samaritan Woman. In the previous podcast, we explored how her encounter with Love transformed her identity, liberating her from fear, guilt, and shame. As she drank from the Living Water, she went from thirsting for Love to becoming a source of Love, enriching her community and city. In this episode, we’ll examine the fruits borne

Ep. 172 – The Samaritan Woman | ft. Paul Yadao Mar 20, 2024 We have here a beautiful story of the Samaritan woman who had an encounter with Love. We see her story as a beautiful picture of the true state of humanity looking for true identity and true love. In this conversation that she had with Jesus, He gave her the open door–an invitation to be the worshiper that the Father is seeking, and drink from the Living Water that He offers. And what happened to

Ep. 171 – Healthy Spiritual Parenting | ft. Paul Yadao Mar 6, 2024 Everywhere I go, I have people coming up to me asking, “How can I find my spiritual father or mother?” or, “Would you be my spiritual father?” I have the honor of having Paul Yadao, my spiritual son, with me. We’ve just had a conversation on the topic of what healthy spiritual parenting looks like, and it is going to help you see that the Father has a calling for you to find your tribe, your famil

Ep. 170 – That We May Be One Feb 21, 2024 One of the scripture verses in the Bible that has had an incredibly profound meaning to me is John 17:21-26; but especially verse 26. I studied this one verse for 7 years, and it was my focus point. When Jesus said, “Father, Father, I have declared Your Name among them, and I will declare it. That the very love, Father, that You have towards Me, that love is going to be in them, and I in the

Ep. 169 – What Will It Take To Fulfill The Great Commission? Feb 7, 2024 I am living in the city of Atlanta, the place Coca-Cola was founded in 1892. And I’ve realized that in the last 132 years, that this company had a mission, and that was to bring this sweet drink into the hands of every person in the world. I have been in the jungle of Congo. I’ve been with the taxi driver in Pakistan. I have been all over the world, and they know about Coca-Cola but have never hea

Ep. 168 – The Power of the Father’s Limitless Love Jan 23, 2024 52:28 Leif Hetland joins Christy Joy and Kat from Equipped with a Crown Podcast to provide a profound and inspiring discussion. Together, they share personal testimonies that vividly illustrate the boundless love of the Father for His children.

Ep. 167 – It’s Harvest Time! A Word for 2024. Jan 11, 2024 I have centered this podcast around the vision for this year, emphasizing that in 2024, it’s harvest time. As you open your eyes and observe the fields, you’ll notice that the world is ripe for the taking. When Jesus looks at the harvest, He’s prepared but seeks someone to pray, have vision, and recognize the harvester. In this podcast, I invite you to reflect on the sunset of 2023, extracting its

Ep. 166 – No More Shame: Breaking off The Chains of Your Past Jan 4, 2024 “Love Your neighbor as Yourself” – Jesus. This command that Jesus gave us is one that we have all heard and memorized. Sometimes, we forget that loving your neighbors first starts with loving yourself. It’s one thing to love others you may or may not know, but quite another thing to love yourself, of which you know the deepest and darkest things. Often, we get plagued by shame and guilt from what

Ep. 165 – Sowing into Kingdom Multiplication! Dec 18, 2023 God has been so faithful! Join me as we look back at this year and everything that God did!

Ep. 164 – The Kingdom is Advancing! Dec 18, 2023 In this week’s podcast, Leif Hetland shares about our Lighthouses of Love movement in Cuba and about a special building project we need your help with! A Lighthouse of Love is a beacon of light that shines in the darkest of places. Lighthouses are similar to church plants, and they can also include organizations and businesses. It is a movement that aims to raise up ambassadors of love who are eq

Ep. 163 – Living at the Center of Eternity Nov 16, 2023 If I had the time, I would take you on a journey from eternity past to eternity future. Meaning, let’s go all the way back to the beginning. Genesis 1:1 starts off by saying, “In the beginning was God.” So we see from the very first sentence that it all begins with God and ends with God. I don’t know about you, but that makes me excited. But in the middle of the two eternities, we need the proper

Ep. 162 – Seeing Israel and Palestine Through Heaven’s Eyes Nov 2, 2023 I wrote a book called “Seeing Through Heaven’s Eyes” many years ago, and I’m realizing we are in need of this message more than ever in this hour. We cannot afford to view what is taking place in the Middle East with an us against them mentality. We have an opportunity to see things from Heaven’s perspective. It is so easy to be distracted by what God is not doing, and even what the enemy is doing

Ep. 161 – Lay It Down Oct 18, 2023 I remember one New Year’s early on in my relationship with Papa Jack. He taught me the lesson of the rod of God. Papa Jack said, “Son, I want to teach you about the rod. This season, you will learn how to pick it up and lay it down.” This lesson has transformed and saved my life and family in more ways than I can express. I was sharing this message of the rod in Colorado a few years back and was

Ep. 160 – The Worst Day of Your Life Sep 6, 2023 How do you navigate the worst day in your life? I know this is a difficult topic for many because they have gone through much pain and grief.This is not a feel-good conversation, but it is a key topic we need to address if we want to reign in this life. The truth of the matter is that we live in a broken world that’s awaiting the redemption of Christ. We have all experienced pain and suffering to

Ep. 159 – Restoration of Isaac and Ishmael Aug 23, 2023 Perhaps when people hear my name or ministry, they think of Pakistan and the Middle East. This area and group of people have been the focus of my mission for almost 30 years, but the Lord has recently started to sharpen and adjust that focus. Just a few months ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, in what almost seemed like an audible voice, with the clear instruction to reconcile Isaac and Ishmael.

Ep. 158 – Covert Revival Aug 8, 2023 Many times when we hear the word “revival” we envision massive crowds with signs and wonders being constantly reported. But the mark of a true revival is not evidenced solely by the supernatural but by the transformation it brings to the land, culture, and community. There is a special type of revival I want to introduce you to that has been going on since the beginning of time–a love revival. Pa

Ep. 157 – Fully Surrendered Jul 25, 2023 God is looking for laid-down sons and daughters; those who are ready to say “Here I am”. He’s given an invitation to the lovers to put themselves in the offering basket to be spent any way He desires. We are living in a culture where the Body of Christ has become very concerned with the speck in her brother’s eye without first removing the log out of her own eye. It is critical that we first addr

Ep. 156 – Lighthouses in Cuba feat. Yasser & Aki Jul 11, 2023 Most great things come in seed form. I remember the first time I was sharing this dream for Lighthouses of Love with our GMA directors in Cuba. As a result of this conversation seeds were planted in their hearts and the fruit has exploded in that land. As of right now, they have already established over 100 Lighthouses of Love in Cuba! There are Lighthouses within homes, schools, hospitals, and ev

Ep. 154 – Finisher Anointing Jun 14, 2023 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” Hebrews 12:1 One major goal I have for my life is to finish well. It’s become common in the Church that ministers do not have a strong track record of finishing well. Only 7% of ministers and their

Ep. 153 – Prepare the Barns feat. Benji & Daniela Morf May 31, 2023 When I first heard Bob Jones’ prophecy of the billion soul harvest, the Father told me, “I do not want a billion orphans, but a billion sons.” This is not just people who have said ‘Yes’ to follow Jesus. These are those who have been through healthy discipleship; they know who and whose they are and they carry the love of Papa God wherever they go, that the world will know a God who looks like Jes

Ep. 152 – Gospel Patrons May 18, 2023 “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” – Acts 20:35 We often hear stories of the gospel heroes, but it’s not very often that we hear about those behind the scenes; the hidden heroes who planted seeds because they have a vision for what Papa God is wa

Stewarding Your Heart in Times of Adversity feat. Bill Johnson Jul 5, 2021 38:40 “Proverbs 4:23 encourages us to watch over our hearts with all diligence because from it flow the issues of life. This is not an invitation to introspection, but it’s a responsibility to watch our attitudes and values. For me, oftentimes where I want to go in life is in the opposite direction of adverse winds. A sailboat can sail against the wind, which is called tacking. This requires the proper
