Some of us aren’t stuck because God isn’t moving—we’re stuck because we won’t let go. In this powerful message, Pastor Eric Thomas challenges us to face the truth: you can’t step into your divine assignment while clinging to what God already buried. Whether it’s grief, emotional wounds, toxic relationships, or habits we’ve justified too long… it’s time. God said move, but we’re still mourning. Through the life of Moses and the charge to Joshua, this episode reveals the call to not only be spiritually strong, but physically and emotionally sound to fulfill God’s purpose. 💡 God isn’t calling you to survive. He’s calling you to be amazing—in your health, your emotions, and your leadership. 🎙️ Listen now and ask yourself: Am I still camped at the grave when God’s trying to lead me to the promise? 🙌 Stay Connected & Support the Mission: 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @apocministry_ 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: APOC Ministry 🌍 To support or learn more, visit: www.apocministry.org

Why You Can’t Be Average and Anointed!
You can’t be average and anointed. Period. In this week’s powerful message from APOC Ministries, Dr. Eric Thomas delivers a straight-up challenge: stop blaming the devil for what your laziness, procrastination, and lack of execution are causing. Average is not God’s standard, and it's certainly not His love language. If you've been wondering why you're not seeing breakthrough, favor, or elevation—it might be time to look inward. ET reminds us that being amazing at what God already told you to do is often the only thing standing between you and your next level. Then, Pastor TJ Tyus takes us deeper, breaking down how Jesus’ life shows us the path to anointing: dark development, submission, consistency, and excellence. 🔥 This episode will: Challenge the mindset keeping you stuck Call out the weapons you’ve formed against yourself Help you shift from mediocrity to mastery Remind you that favor follows faithfulness 📖 Scriptures referenced: Romans 12:2, Luke 2:46-52, 1 Samuel 16 & 17, Isaiah 54:17 ➡️ Ready to stop being average and start walking in your anointing? Press play.

AI Is Winning Because We Stopped Being Excellent
What if every single day was your Pro Day… and you didn’t even know it? In this passionate and prophetic message, Dr. Eric Thomas (ET the Hip Hop Preacher) breaks down what it truly means to be indispensable in a world that’s replacing average with AI and mediocrity with machines. Drawing from Luke 2:46 and the example of Jesus at 12 years old, ET reminds us that the standard isn’t "good"—it’s amazing. 📌 Are you operating in excellence… or just getting by? 📌 Are you showing up like the opportunity depends on it… or assuming grace will cover your lack of effort? Just like athletes only get one shot to prove themselves on Pro Day, you don’t get unlimited chances to show the world—and God—who you really are. If you want to be indispensable, you’ve got to stop blending in and start standing out. 👉 This isn’t about hype. It’s about heavenly accountability. 👉 You were built to be amazing. Not replaceable. So the question is… If today was Pro Day, would you make the cut?

God Never Told You to Get a Job — That Was You!
Let’s be clear — God never called you to clock in. He called you to carry out a command. In this unapologetic sermon, Dr. Eric Thomas exposes the lie too many believers are living: calling it a “career” when it’s really disobedience in disguise. You're burnt out because you're building your life around a job God never gave you. You're stressed because you’re answering to man instead of walking in your divine assignment. ET breaks down the difference between working for a paycheck and walking in purpose — and why one drains you while the other transforms you. This isn’t just a sermon — it’s a spiritual intervention. 🔥 Still praying for clarity? God already gave it — you're just too busy chasing comfort. 🔥 Tired of starting over? Maybe it’s time to finally obey, fully. 🔥 This word will either offend you or free you. You can’t quit a divine assignment. And you can’t fake obedience.

It Costs NOT to Be the Boss! 🔥 Stop Living in Mediocrity
🚨 Listen to me—it costs NOT to be the boss! 🚨 Look at David—if he had stayed a shepherd, if he had let fear stop him, if he had let Goliath do all the talking, Israel would have stayed in defeat! But David knew the cost of not stepping up was greater than the cost of facing the giant. When you refuse to lead, when you shrink back, when you let fear run your life, you're not just losing money—you’re losing destiny! God called you to be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath (Deut. 28:13)! But if you don’t move in faith, you forfeit the blessing. David ran to the battle because he understood: IT COSTS NOT TO BE THE BOSS! And that’s exactly where so many of us are—stuck in mediocrity, waiting for someone else to lead, afraid to take control of what God has already promised. 🔥 Are you active in your faith, or are you sitting back, reserved, waiting for the "right time?" 🔥 Are you settling for good enough when God called you to EXCELLENCE? 🔥 It’s time to get up, get active, and walk in your purpose! This sermon is a gut check! Stop living in the bare minimum and step into the greatness God has for you. God doesn’t do average—neither should you!
