Advertise on podcast: Leadership Development with Ps. Jurgen Matthesius & Awaken Church

The epitome of legacy looks like: you decreasing so that He may increase. Ps. Jurgen teaches us how to produce people who become mighty men in the earth—people who come in despaired, but are now flourishing and advancing the Kingdom of God. 

At who’s table do you sit? We should all sit at a table and serve a table—this is how we celebrate, live in gratitude, and pursue a legacy. There should be ministry and moments of impact at every table. 

“Definement” unpacks what truly sets the church apart: not clever words or slick programs, but the power of God at work. Drawing on Mark 16:17-20 and 1 Corinthians 2:4; 4:20 and personal stories, this message calls us to be more than attendees: to become ministers who cast out demons, heal the sick, release prophetic words, work miracles, and impart faith. Like brands that distinguish themselves by what they refuse to compromise, followers of Jesus are defined by Holy Spirit power that confirms the gospel. Expect vision, practical equipping, and a fresh charge to carry God’s power into everyday life.

The church isn’t just a place we gather; it’s the keystone where lives are transformed and people begin to thrive. In God’s presence and in authentic community, we discover purpose, healing, and breakthrough that overflow into every area of life. Jesus said, ‘On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it’ (Matthew 16:18). The church is God’s chosen foundation for a thriving, victorious life; come and find the key to becoming all He’s called you to be.

In this powerful and eye-opening message, Ps. Jurgen exposes the hidden dysfunctions that threaten to sabotage our God-given destinies and destroy the legacies we're called to build.

Jurgen as he uncovers Biblical truths that break cycles, restore alignment, and empower us to walk in divine purpose for ourselves, our families, and the generations to come.

This message is a call to rise, take ground, and partner with Heaven’s agenda. As part of this vision, Ps. Jurgen invites you to join Vision Builders, a divine opportunity to invest in God's Kingdom and become a vital part of advancing His mission on the earth.

"Lessons from New Zealand" is a powerful message that explores the transformative truths of obedience, mindset, and redemption. It emphasizes that obedience to God’s will is more powerful than faith alone, as action brings His promises to life. It highlights how our mindset shapes our outcomes—what we believe determines where we go. Ultimately, it reveals God as the ultimate Redeemer, who restores and renews even the most broken situations. This message challenges and inspires believers to walk in obedience, cultivate a victorious mindset, and trust in God’s redemptive power.

The altar is where we encounter God—where we surrender, repent, and receive His presence. But transformation doesn’t stop there. True growth happens at the table, in community, where faith is tested, refined, and lived out in relationship with others. In this message, Ps. Jurgen explores how altars ignite our journey with God, but tables sustain it, shaping us into disciples through fellowship, accountability, and love.
