What does it mean to truly speak with authority?

In this episode, we dive into the lifestyle behind the pulpit—the hidden obedience, intimacy with God, and spiritual discipline that give weight to your words. It’s not just about speaking well—it’s about living well.

Whether you're a pastor, leader, or someone called to influence, this conversation will challenge and equip you to walk in spiritual authority and lead from a place of surrender, not performance.

The Father is Calling You. Are You Listening?

In this powerful podcast, our guests share how they learned to shut the doors led by selfish desires—not out of fear, but obedience. They speak deeply about what it means to hear God's voice, surrender control, and truly render your heart before the Lord.

🕊 You’ll be challenged with questions like:

▪️ Are you making room for God—or crowding Him out?

▪️ Are you willing to sacrifice something that’s alive—your comfort, your plans, your flourishing—for something eternal?

▪️ Have you truly recognized the call God is placing on your life right now? This episode is a wake-up call to the apathetic and a reminder that God is pouring out His Spirit on those who are willing to say yes. This isn’t just another Christian podcast—it’s a holy disruption.

🙌 🎧 Tune in now and let this conversation stir your spirit.

Many ministry leaders, pastors, and church planters silently wrestle with this question. The reality is—ministry is a calling, not a comfort zone. If you're leading or preparing to lead, this message is for you.

God didn’t promise ease, but He did promise His presence, power, and provision. Watch now and be reminded: you’re not alone.

There is purpose in the pressure—and grace for every season.

Welcome to The Cory Lee show, in this episode we sit down with my friend Chris Payne.

🙌 Ever been in a season where things feel quiet… but deep down, you know God is still working? This conversation is for anyone who’s been waiting, trusting, and wondering if they’ve been forgotten. The truth is—God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s not with you.

The Spirit of the Lord is closer than you think, and His goodness is often revealed in the process, not just the outcome.

🎧 Tap in and be reminded: You’re not alone. You’re just being refined.

We talk a lot about the cross of Jesus Christ—and rightly so. It's where sin was defeated and forgiveness was secured. But what if stopping at the cross means missing out on the power of the resurrection and the gift of the Holy Spirit? In this impactful episode, Chris helps unpack the full Gospel message—from the crucifixion to the resurrection of Jesus and the life-giving outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Because Jesus didn’t just die… He rose again, and He sent the Holy Spirit so we could walk in power, purpose, and spiritual authority. Too many believers are living saved but not Spirit-filled. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to the Christian life—you’re absolutely right.

🎧 Listen now as we explore the empty tomb, the risen Christ, and how to live a Spirit-empowered life full of faith, fire, and freedom. #ResurrectionPower #HolySpiritFilled #ChristianPodcast #JesusIsAlive #KingdomLiving #BibleTeaching #ChristianEncouragement #HolySpiritFire #GospelTruth #RisenSavior #LiveWithPurpose #ChristianFaith #discipleshipmatters

On Part 2 of the episode with Pastor Evan Mawarire, we continue his gripping story—this time, from inside a prison cell.

Stripped of freedom but not of faith, Pastor Evan shares how God used the darkest places to create divine connections. He became a light behind bars—and in turn, those around him became unexpected messengers of hope, strength, and purpose. What was meant to break him only built him. What was meant to silence him only spread the message louder. Because when God calls, He also provides—through people, moments, and miracles you’d never expect.

🎙️ Part 2 is a testimony to how obedience births blessing, even in the unlikeliest of places.

👉 Listen now and be reminded that you are never alone in the fire. #EvanMawarire #DivineConnections #CalledToLead #FaithOverFear

On today’s episode of The Cory Lee Show, Cory is joined by a truly remarkable guest—Evan Mawarire, a Zimbabwean pastor, movement builder, and internationally recognized advocate for human rights and democracy. Evan’s heartfelt story takes us on a journey from leading a small church in Harare to becoming the voice behind Zimbabwe’s #ThisFlag movement—a peaceful yet powerful protest that ignited hope and inspired millions to stand against corruption and injustice.

Evan shares what it was like to witness his homeland endure political violence, economic collapse, and unimaginable inflation, painting a vivid picture with stories about $100 trillion banknotes only able to buy a loaf of bread. He opens up about the quiet conviction that led him to record a simple, unscripted video—a courageous act that would escalate to nationwide impact, personal sacrifice, and even time spent as a political prisoner.

Through moments of fear, uncertainty, and miraculous breakthrough, Evan reveals the real meaning of courage and obedience, reminding us that even the smallest act for the things we care about most can spark epic change. Whether you’re facing your own giants or searching for hope in a difficult season, Evan’s incredible testimony will uplift, encourage, and challenge you to live with boldness.

Tune in for part one of this inspiring conversation—trust us, you won’t want to miss what happens next.

🎙️ This is leadership in its rawest form—when obedience to God means stepping into the fire.

👉 Don’t miss Part 1 of this powerful conversation.
