WE ARE OBEDIENCE

We hear Jesus.
We obey Jesus.
We go where He sends us.
Jesus speaks, we respond, and our lives become evidence of that response. That has been the story of of our own lives. We are two ordinary people who have lived in the extraordinary because we actually chose to listen and obey Him. No matter what it looked like. That decision cost us everything, but gave us so much more.

OUR SENIOR LEADERS
We believe leadership in the Church has to look different. It was never meant to be about control, personalities, platforms, or creating people who are dependent on a leader to hear from God. True spiritual leadership should point people back to total surrender and obedience to the one true living God. What is God saying? Can we actually hear and recognize His voice? And when He speaks, will we obey?
This is at the heart of why we started Obedience. We believe the world is desperate for real Church, not fake. We can run from church to church looking for revival, attend Sunday services and Wednesday Bible studies, know all the right language, and still never develop a real relationship with God for ourselves. We can even consider ourselves “good people” while never truly encountering the living God. An awakening is coming that will confront comfortable Christianity, fake religion, and a faith built around anything other than Jesus Himself.
We are believing for a massive move of God across America—one that changes the spiritual landscape of our nation. But revival is not simply something we attend. It begins in surrendered hearts, in people who know His voice and are willing to follow Him no matter the cost.
Revival begins with Obedience.

SENIOR LEADERS/PASTORS
OUR TEAM
Jesus Christ is the Head of this church.
We believe our ultimate authority, direction, and covering are found in Him. Obedience does not belong to a personality, a pastor, or a platform. It belongs to Jesus.
We often say that we are “the church,” but we are not building a normal church. We are not affiliated with any one stream, denomination, or movement. We honor what God has done through many different expressions of the Church, but we believe He is doing something new in this hour.
We believe God is creating a new stream in the desert—something fresh that is not about recreating a past model, but about responding to what He is doing now. We are excited and humbled to be part of the new thing God is building.
At the same time, we believe there is wisdom in Godly counsel, shared discernment, accountability, and prayer. Behind Obedience is a growing team of trusted believers who pray, counsel, encourage, challenge, discern, and help carry what God is building.
Overseers & Elders
We are surrounded by spiritually mature believers who help provide wisdom, accountability, discernment, and biblical counsel as Obedience grows. Some of these leaders have been involved in past moves of God that impacted not only America, but also the world, and we deeply value the wisdom and perspective they carry.
We do not view these relationships as replacing the leadership of Jesus or creating a hierarchy between believers. Their role is to help us remain faithful to Scripture, attentive to the Holy Spirit, and accountable in the stewardship of what God has entrusted to us.
There is one Head of the Church: Jesus. We are all stewards under Him.
Prayer Warriors & Intercessors
Before anything is seen publicly, there is prayer. We believe prayer is not simply something that happens during a gathering. It is part of the foundation upon which everything else is built.
Hospitality Team
We want people to encounter the love of Jesus from the moment they walk through the door. Our hospitality team is designed to help create an atmosphere where people are welcomed, seen, cared for, and free to encounter God—whether that means greeting someone at the door, preparing the room, helping a first-time guest, serving behind the scenes, or simply noticing the person who may otherwise go unnoticed.
To us, hospitality is more than making a room feel welcoming. It is ministry.
We are building a culture where no role is about status and no act of service is insignificant. Whether someone is praying in secret, offering wisdom, setting up chairs, welcoming a stranger, or standing beside someone in need, everyone is valuable in God's kingdom.

OBEDIENCE
IS THE EVIDENCE OF
A LIFE TRANSFORMED.
Obedience isn't about earning God's love.
It's the response to already having encountered His love.
