In this gathering, Kent shares about Peak Vision’s birthday
and staying within the theme (or word of the year)
of the Kingdom, titled Pauper to Prince.
Part 1 - Peak Vision Birthday 0:00
Drawing from the Book of Zechariah 4:6–10, Kent reminds us (the Church) that although buildings require physical effort and force, what God is truly building happens by His Spirit. The concrete, the frames, the working bees — that’s our part. But the church itself? That’s built by the Spirit of God.
He challenges the church to measure effectiveness not by trends or comparison, but by seeking the Lord and asking, “What are we called to do?”. Kent speaks about sowing into moments where we encounter God. Breakthrough doesn’t happen accidentally. Sacrifice often precedes encounter.
Part 2 - Pauper to Prince 06:37
In the second part of the gathering, Kent shifts to a message titled...Pauper to Prince, teaching from the Book of Exodus 2 and the life of Moses.
Kent explains that before God used Moses to deliver a nation, He shaped his identity. Moses was drawn out of the water before he ever drew Israel out of Egypt.
Deliverers are delivered first.
Kent draws attention to identity. If we see ourselves as powerless, we will live powerless. But if we understand we are sons and daughters of the King, we stand differently. Identity shapes courage.
He explores the tension that made Moses extraordinary — confidence and humility. According to Numbers 12v3, Moses is described as extremely humble; however, Acts 7v22 tells us that he was powerful in both speech and action. True royalty carries both.
As Kent puts it: shoulders back, knees bent.
Ultimately, Kent reveals the real secret of Moses’ life: intimacy. From the Book of Deuteronomy 34:10, Moses knew God face to face.
The palace gave him an education.
The wilderness gave him intimacy.
And intimacy produced authority.
