Episode Overview
This episode, led by Pastor Touré Roberts, is a prophetic and practical call to "Get In Position." Drawing deeply from the book of Haggai, Romans, and Hebrews, Pastor Touré unpacks the necessity and urgency of divine alignment in this season. He weaves in spiritual discipline, clarity, spiritual authority, economic empowerment, and societal impact—challenging every listener to recognize the purpose in life's shakings and to answer the call to spiritual alignment and purpose.
Main Themes
- The necessity of alignment with God’s timing and pattern
- The difference between chronological time (chronos) and divine/apportioned time (kairos)
- Why God “shakes” our lives and how to interpret spiritual shakings
- The connection between alignment and the manifestation of God’s glory
- Intentionally pursuing spiritual clarity in times of distraction
- The transformational role of the Holy Spirit in leading us to—and through—alignment
- Practical outworking of alignment in spiritual, economic, and societal spheres
Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. Introduction: Context and Call to Clarity
- Pastor Touré opens by referencing Haggai 2 (03:12), connecting the rebuilding of the temple with a season of mixed emotions—celebration and lamentation.
- He introduces a 30-day “clarity challenge” (sugar fast), aligning with Lent, emphasizing that physical discipline ties to spiritual clarity.
Quote:
"For 30 days starting today, those who are in agreement, we’re giving up processed sugar...right now we need to be clearer than we've ever been. Hello, somebody." (03:50)
2. Foundation: God's Timing and Alignment
- Explains “chronos” (chronological time) vs. “kairos” (divinely appointed time) and their relevance to spiritual seasons.
Quote:
"Chronos is...where we get our English word chronological...kairos is more about an appointed time, a set time...God holds times and seasons in his hands." (11:14)
- Emphasizes God’s expectation for us to be in position for our kairos moment, not living in the “good old days” but expecting greater future glory. Quote:
"To long for yesterday is to violate this word, because this word says that the glory of the latter is going to be greater than the glory of the former." (16:26)
3. Shaking as God's Administrator for Glory
- Shaking is presented as both necessary and purposeful; it catalyzes movement into deeper alignment and glory. Quote:
"Glory requires shaking. Successive levels of glory require shaking. That the shaking is the administrator of glory." (18:09–18:35)
- Drawing parallels from Moses’ tabernacle, the pattern and alignment must be followed for God’s glory to fill. Quote:
"Glory is not attracted to misalignment...Glory does not respond to misalignment. Glory is very specific." (21:11)
- Examples from Adam’s misalignment and Moses receiving the pattern for the tabernacle.
4. Practical Alignment and Clarity
- Discusses how distractions and confusion cloud our spiritual alignment.
- Encourages listeners to become radical in their pursuit of clarity and alignment, even if it means giving up small comforts like sugar.
Quote:
"I will do everything that is available to me to be clearer than I've ever been. I don't want nothing manipulating me, not even sugar." (30:08)
- Outlines what alignment is: Quote:
"Alignment is when everyone, and consequently everything is lining up as God purposed before the world began." (28:00)
- The difference between toil and flow:
Quote:
"When you're in alignment with God, there's a flow that comes to you and stuff that was about toil flows like oil." (31:48–31:51)
- Creation is portrayed as eagerly awaiting our alignment (“the revealing of the sons of God”—Romans 8:19), and as cooperating with us when we are aligned.
5. The Role of the Holy Spirit in Alignment
- Declares the absolute necessity of relationship with the Holy Spirit for alignment and discernment.
Quote:
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God...we are going to have to have an extremely intentional relationship with the Holy Spirit unlike ever before." (39:15)
- The process of being shaken is highlighted as a communication from God, not merely the devil's work.
Quote:
"God speaks through shaking. And we blame the devil for the shaking. Even if it was the devil, God used him. Because even the devil is God's devil." (41:56)
- Challenges listeners not to grieve the Holy Spirit by clinging to things God is shaking off (56:54).
6. Accepting the Shaking and Entering New Dimensions
- Urges maturity in accepting shakings—recognizing God is removing what isn’t truly us.
Quote:
“The only thing that shakes when God shakes you is what ain't you.” (47:40)
- The move from mere church identity to true kingdom authority is emphasized.
- Warns against resisting the necessary pain of change; encourages trust in the “Shaker.”
Quote:
"Trust the shaker. Here's the word of the Lord. For you shall come forth as gold." (74:20)
7. Practical Areas to “Get in Position”
- Pastor Touré highlights three domains where alignment should manifest (60:09):
- Spiritual Authority: Not just being loud, but effective spiritually
- Economic Empowerment: Godly stewardship and financial increase for kingdom purposes
- Societal Impact: Engaging in public life, mentorship, and leadership
Quote:
“It is time for you to take your place in three areas specifically. The first is in spiritual authority. The second is in economic empowerment. And the third is in societal impact.” (60:09)
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

“You got to pursue it. You got to pursue it. You got to learn how to recognize it, man. There ain’t nothing like knowing that you’re in alignment with God and you don’t have to guess it.” (31:12)
- On the Holy Spirit’s Role:
“He is the difference maker, and he will lead us. Watch this. In truth and to truth.” (53:09)
