When Obedience Meets Vision | Pastor Mike & Pastor Lisa Kai (Pound for Pound Leadership x I AM HER)

Immerse All In: Since 2018, Where It All Began With Bekah and Pastor Lisa Kai

Throwing it way back this episode holds a special kind of weight. This marks the very first time Bekah and Pastor Lisa came together for a podcast conversation, diving into a question many people quietly wrestle with: what does it truly mean to be all in with God? Not halfway. Not casually showing up. But living fully immersed in faith. Through a powerful and relatable picture of jumping in headfirst despite fear, hesitation, or uncertainty, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond the edge and into full surrender. For anyone who has ever felt stuck, distracted, or unsure about taking that next step with God, this conversation offers both perspective and encouragement.

When Obedience Meets Vision | Pastor Mike & Pastor Lisa Kai (Pound for Pound Leadership x I AM HER)

What happens when God plants a vision years before you feel ready to carry it? In this powerful collaboration between Pound for Pound Leadership and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa Kai share the deeply personal, faith-filled journey behind Arise, from a whispered prayer to a movement now filling the Blaisdell with thousands of women. This is a conversation about obedience, timing, marriage, leadership, and what it really looks like to say yes to God, even when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and requires everything. In this special collaboration episode of Pound for Pound Leadership Podcast and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike Kai sits down with his wife, Pastor Lisa Kai, to unpack the story behind Arise, a women's movement that began with a quiet prayer and has grown into a global vision impacting thousands. Pastor Lisa shares how God began stirring something in her heart 15 years ago, long before she felt ready, and how moments of obedience, confirmation, and even disruption shaped the calling she now walks in. Together, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa reflect on leadership within marriage, supporting one another's calling, and stewarding a vision that was never meant to be convenient. From international conferences to floods that forced last-minute miracles, this episode is a reminder that when God says He's doing a new thing, you have to be willing to perceive it. If you've ever wrestled with purpose, timing, or stepping into what God has placed inside of you, this conversation will encourage, challenge, and inspire you.
