Praise God For The Bench Warmers | Mike Kai
30/06/2025 Duración: 43minThis Sunday at Inspire Church Honolulu, I shared a message about one of my favorite underdog stories—Jonathan and his armor-bearer. Growing up in a small town, I wasn’t the tallest, and I wasn’t a starter on the court, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t putting in the work. Maybe you’ve felt overlooked or underestimated too. But here's the truth: God uses people who move forward in faith—even from the bench—to step into their purpose. If you’ve ever felt like the underdog, this one’s for you.

Mike Kai: Are You The Answer To Somebody's Prayer | Off The Bench
24/06/2025 Duración: 31minAn essential, fundamental core value of Inspire Church is to Make Disciples. Pastor Mike Kai sets in motion an invigorating new message series on how this pertains to all of us. You may unknowingly already be the answer to someone’s prayer through the laying of hands, words of encouragement, or simply a kind act or smile. God forewarns us of the persecution, tribulation, and discomfort that’s sure to befall us. We all encounter disappointment, distractions, and circumstances where things didn’t work out. Pastor Mike assures us that while it won’t be easy, it’ll be worth it with absolutely no regrets. Be prepared to come “Off the Bench” and allow God to use you and have His way with you. God is perfectly poised to do great things in your life and entrust you with His grace, mighty power, and a vision for your life. It’ll take the right response to be saved from ourselves and to trust in the plan of the Lord. It’ll replace our fears with strength, hope, and everything we need. You’ll be filled with wisdom, the

Mike Kai: Releasing The Fire | The Battle Between The Buds
24/06/2025 Duración: 43minWe conclude our invigorating message series this Father’s Day weekend with Pastor Mike Kai. Pastor Mike addresses brokenness and doubt related to situations, faith, relationships, self-esteem, and finances. God allows brokenness so He can heal you and make you whole again. His perfect power will grant you peace, protection, and restoration. In moments of weakness, we allow the enemy to launch coordinated attacks that create confusion, a poverty mindset, and self-pity in our minds. We also need to release the idols we hold onto in order to let God’s grace, favor, and blessings flow. Let go of any bitterness and anger that may exacerbate challenging situations. Trusting, honoring, and drawing closer to God will be your source of confidence. He has not left or disqualified you; rather, God wants you to reach your full potential. ‘Releasing the Fire!’ within you will make you a torchbearer and allow you to burn brightly in the darkness. Following His way will change your life forever!

Darian Tellez: That's Too Much | The Battle Between The Buds
24/06/2025 Duración: 38minWe continue with another chapter in the series relating to the all-essential “Winning the Battle for Your Mind.” All too often, we create spiritual boundaries through internal self-esteem, pride, and self-reliance. Depending on your strength prevents God’s strength from working in your situation and hinders you from becoming a blessing to others. If you feel overwhelmed by your current circumstances, present your God-sized assignments to Him, the ultimate problem-solver. When you feel insecure, fearful, or lacking, clothe yourself in the power and spirit of God and give Him all the glory. Allow Him to sift and filter your heart of unwanted and unnecessary things so He can work through you in every area of your life. Even if you are already walking in a relationship with God, it’s important to be prepared for daily battle. It requires a surrendering obedience, walk, and heart in your will and ways for Jesus to remove the weeds and clutter to unlock your destiny. An obligation of trust and faith through His tes

Lisa Kai: Victory Over Insecurity | The Battle Between The Buds
24/06/2025 Duración: 40minThis week, Pastor Lisa Kai delves deeper into understanding “Winning the Battle for Your Mind.” The biggest challenge we face lies in controlling our mindset and “Gaining Victory Over Insecurity.” It begins with a desire for God to change your mindset and a commitment to keep working at it. Many receive God’s calling but are reluctant to act because we may feel inferior, inadequate, or unqualified. God will strengthen and equip you. Be encouraged by the Word of God and get in alignment with Him to unlock your purpose, identity, and destiny. It’s Inspire Church’s desire for people to fulfill their God-given potential through its core focus areas of reaching people, making disciples, and multiplying leaders. Rely on God’s mighty power and impact communities with confidence and purpose. Replace doubt and fear with wisdom, revelation, and influence!

Mike Kai: The Tension of the Treashing | The Battle Between The Buds
24/06/2025 Duración: 40minPastor Mike Kai speaks about the prophetic symbolism of the threshing floor and its relation to a spirit-led way of living. The process of creating a loaf of bread involves many steps, including patience and significant effort. You must trust the process and embrace the powerful spirit of God. All too often, we live our lives according to what we feel is right in our eyes, rather than what is right through the eyes of the Lord. Similarly, we are mistakenly guided by our perception of truth instead of God’s Word. Just as the enemy relentlessly hunts for your harvest and potential, God never stops seeking your heart. This message will teach you the sounds that are pleasing to God, which heaven will honor if you steward the opportunity. It requires a deep commitment and reliance on God. Distinguishing the wheat from the chaff in your life and persistently working is where God accomplishes His greatest work. Remain faithful and obedient while in God’s shadow. Pastor Mike assures you that when you feel “The Tensio

Mike Kai: When The Roar Gets Loud | The Battle Between The Buds
21/05/2025 Duración: 44minThis week, Pastor Mike Kai delivers an uplifting message about the definition of joy and the steps you can take to achieve it. Happiness fades, but joy endures with meaning and purpose. It begins by praising Him, regardless of your current circumstances, even when you’re not in the mood and don’t feel like it. View it not as a matter of want, but as something you should do. Pastor Mike encourages you to be joyful in the Lord, as He is your never-ending source of strength and strategy. You need not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Cast your worries upon Him, because He cares. Experience God’s peace by telling Him what you need and thanking Him for all He has done. The enemy is a roaring lion who will attempt to steal your joy. “When the Roar Gets Louder,” humble yourself under the mighty power of God, and you will be lifted in honor. Remain strong in your faith and act in trust and obedience to discover perfect peace.

Mike Kai: Leading Yourself Out | Battle Between The Buds PT2
13/05/2025 Duración: 49minOn this Mother’s Day weekend, Pastor Mike Kai continues with another installment of “The Battle Between the ‘Buds” message series. He speaks on some of the different and powerful women in the Bible. They faced struggles then, just as we do today. Pastor Mike identifies the causes and symptoms we all experience in our destructive thought patterns and how to overcome them. Whether you’re going through a hard season personally, in your marriage, or work life, always remember God hears your prayers and knows what’s going on in your heart, even before you pray. Allow yourself to be led and filled with the Holy Spirit, permitting the Lord to establish His word within you. This requires an act of surrender to Him and allows you to be guided by the Holy Spirit in all areas of your life while walking in purpose. Draw nearer to God and replace negativity with His word to transform defeat and failure into the victory God desires in your life!

28/04/2025 Duración: 40minThis week, Pastor Mike Kai delivers Part 1 of a new message series entitled, “The Battle Between the ‘Bud’s," in epic fashion. You’ll need to decide whether to stand on God’s promises or remain seated in the past. Have your past battles produced fruit or fear? The enemy continually seeks to control the battlefield in our minds to command our thoughts and minds. He will manipulate you and create psychological and spiritual warfare within you. All this is designed to instill doubt, derail and disrupt your destiny, and taint your testimony meant to honor and glorify God. Regardless of your experiences or current reality, we can win the battle if you make the promise and follow through on the process. You’ll be tested and need to walk in faith and courage. Don’t let the enemy magnify your obstacles and diminish your opportunities. Continue trusting God, as your destiny lies on the other side of obedience. There is always hope in the name of Jesus.

Mike Kai: The Search Is Over
22/04/2025 Duración: 39minOn this Resurrection Weekend, Pastor Mike Kai presents a summation of Good Friday and the events that led to Christ’s redemption and crucifixion. These events convey many of the most important messages in the Bible. “Why Do You Search for the Living Among the Dead?” Don’t dwell on the past and failures you’ve encountered to allow them to define you. Instead, focus on the living hope in God. No matter the grief and burden you’re going through, if you feel alone and abandoned in your journey, Pastor Mike readily provides a solution. It starts with seeking Him with all your heart. Nothing is too far from God that He cannot carry you through a season. Seek the Lord and call on Him. Immerse yourself in God’s powerful Word for a life change. Jesus is with you no matter where you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve done. He’s always at your side, and He’ll never let you down!

Travis Hearn: Surrounded not Surrendered
10/03/2025 Duración: 48minThis week, we are honored to have guest speaker Pastor Travis Hearn deliver a meaningful and relatable message. Pastor Travis is the senior pastor at Impact Church in Scottsdale, AZ. In addition to being an author, he has been affiliated with professional sports teams and is currently the team pastor for the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals. As a result, he is often asked, “How did you get that gig?” He responds that it’s not a gig but a ministry to serve the Most High. He explains why we are “Surrounded but Not Surrendered,” which prevents us from having a personal relationship with Jesus. If you want to be radically and powerfully saved to live out God’s divine plan for your life, you need to facilitate and steward His calling. Deny living for yourself, search your heart for the idols in your life, and you’ll begin to understand and know the power of Jesus. It’s your choice to obey God’s word to see the character and heart of God.

You’ll be challenged and inspired to listen to His divine calling and to follow His divine programming through faith, obedience, trust, and forgiveness. Get ready to shed a spirit of fear, shame, guilt, and oppression for one of love, power, and a sound mind.

10/02/2025 Duración: 45minPastor Mike Kai begins a new message series entitled “The Enemy at the Gates.” Early on our thoughts are culturally shaped by folklore, tradition, and superstition. As believers, we must recognize that spiritual warfare is a huge, ongoing battle for our souls.

It’ll take faith in Jesus and agreement with Him that He has bestowed upon you a higher authority. You cannot imagine what God wants to do to and through you.

The message is scripture-laden from the Old Testament on how God delivers when you place complete faith and trust in Him. We all experience times of desperation when we feel under attack and vilified. We feel our backs are against the wall and face seemingly insurmountable odds.

Our past and present do not determine our future. Generational curses can be broken to live in a new level of freedom through the power and authority bestowed upon us by God. Be alive to the assignment, destiny, and purpose Jesus has in store for you. It takes your willingness and complete surrender of your heart to Him.
