The Character of a King

Apr 21, 2026    Jason Schlabach, Patrick Overholt

Are you ready to move beyond the world’s understanding of the Kingdom and step into the deeper reality revealed throughout Scripture?

Too often, when we hear the word “Kingdom,” our thoughts drift toward ideas shaped by culture—such as material wealth or personal gain. But what was Jesus’ original concept of the Kingdom, and why did He use King illustrations so frequently in Scripture?


In this powerful conversation, Pat Overholt joins Jason to explore:

Defining the Kingdom: Why the Kingdom is not a democracy or a committee—and why that is actually good news.

The Nature of Lordship: Understanding that Jesus is Lord whether we acknowledge it or not—and how our lives transform when we align with that truth.

The Upside-Down King: Exploring the characteristics of a King that are often the exact opposite of how the world views power.

When we begin to understand the character of the King, we become better equipped to recognize His voice in our lives.
