Most people think pioneers are simply risk-takers.
But according to Teo Hayashi, one of the defining characteristics of a true pioneer is something unexpected: strategy.
In this episode, Teo unpacks the lifestyle of a pioneer and why Kingdom pioneers don't simply chase opportunities—they follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. While many people are attracted to the idea of pioneering, few understand the combination of presence, vision, obedience, and strategy required to sustain what God is building.
You'll discover:
• Why pioneers must learn to hear God's voice
• The difference between pioneering and simply being innovative
• How the Holy Spirit leads people into new territory
• Why strategy is a biblical principle, not a worldly one
• The danger of becoming a "religious entrepreneur."
• How presence and vision work together to advance the Kingdom
Whether you're called to ministry, business, education, government, media, or any other sphere of society, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership, calling, and influence.

Emerson Nowotny grew up on the border between San Diego and Tijuana, got radically saved at 17, and then walked away — straight into the world of cartels, drug trafficking, and federal prison. What happened inside that cell, and what God has built since, is one of the most honest stories of redemption, calling, and Kingdom advancement you'll hear.
Today, Emerson is planting a church in Mexico City, the cultural and creative capital of Latin America, and seeing God move in ways that no amount of strategy or trendiness could produce. In this episode, we go deep on what it looks like to leave everything comfortable behind to obey a call, why he stopped trying to be relevant and started pursuing the real move of God, and what revival actually looks like in one of the world's most creative cities.
What is real revival? In Part 2 of this conversation, Yusuke and Isaque ask a question many are thinking but few are answering clearly—what actually defines revival? Is it extended worship gatherings, packed rooms, or emotional moments in God’s presence, or is it something deeper? In this episode, Teo Hayashi challenges common assumptions and unpacks a biblical, global perspective—revealing that true revival goes beyond moments in a room and into awakened hearts, discipleship, and transformation that impacts society. If it doesn’t go beyond gatherings… is it really revival?
In this episode, Yusuke and Isaque share their powerful testimony of how God radically transformed their lives and led them to Brazil. What started as ordinary stories quickly turned into a journey marked by faith, surrender, and unexpected calling.
From their personal encounters with God to how their families came to faith, this conversation is a reminder that God is still writing incredible stories today. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to fully surrender to His call, this episode will inspire you.
Pastor Teo Hayashi joins Scott Allen and Darrow Miller of the Discipling Nations Alliance for a powerful conversation on recovering the gospel of the Kingdom and restoring the Church’s mandate to disciple nations, not just save souls. They discuss the rise of cultural crises in Brazil and the West, the dangers of the sacred–secular divide, how the Church lost its influence in society, and why revival must lead to reformation if we want to see lasting change. This episode challenges pastors, leaders, and believers to rediscover a holistic, biblical worldview and engage culture with the authority Jesus entrusted to His people.
What do you do when you feel like you have “nothing… except a jar of oil”?
In this message from the Empower21 Global Gathering in Turkey, Pastor Teo Hayashi preaches from 2 Kings 4 about the widow, the prophet Elisha, and the miracle of the multiplying oil.

New Testament scholar Dr. Craig Keener joins Teo live at Dunamis Con to unpack why the gifts of the Spirit are biblically for today. From Joel 2/Acts 2 to 1 Corinthians 12–14, Keener shows why cessationism is post-biblical, how signs and wonders amplify the gospel worldwide, and what healthy order looks like when you make room for prophecy, healing, tongues, and deliverance.
We also talk revival patterns in Acts, global hotspots of the Spirit’s move, practical guidance for pastors (power and order!), and how Ephesians 4 equips the church for maturity. If you love Scripture and the Spirit, this one will light a fire.
In this message recorded at Oral Roberts University (ORU), Teo Hayashi shares a prophetic and practical word on realigning our lives to recover the cutting edge of the Spirit. Drawing from the story of the lost axe head in 2 Kings 6, Teo challenges us to identify where we’ve lost our edge, return to the place of encounter, and let God restore sharpness, clarity, and purpose in our walk with Him.
If you’ve felt dull, distracted, or distant from your calling, this message will reignite your hunger and help you recover your cutting edge in the Lord.
