Excel University - Kingdom Mentorship School

What does it mean to live transcendent? To transcend is to move beyond the limitations of one reality by learning to live from another. As believers, we are called to live above only—setting our minds on things above, as instructed in Colossians 3:2, and allowing the reality of the Kingdom of God to shape how we think, how we live, and how we function on the earth. Living transcendent means aligning our perspective with Heaven’s reality so that its principles, power, and purpose are expressed through our lives.

This course explores what it means to be formed by the Kingdom of God and to operate according to its reality. Through biblical teaching and dynamic discussions featuring Pastor Mike Darnell, Pastor Ron Carpenter, Dr. Dave Burrows, Bishop Kevin Wallace, and Pastor Stephen Ward, you will discover the importance of renewing your mind, shifting your spiritual paradigm, and allowing the Spirit of God to transform your understanding of who you are and how you are called to live.

Across each session, you will explore the nature of the transcendent Church, the difference between having a form of godliness and living in the power of the Spirit, and the importance of aligning your thinking and spiritual formation with the reality of the Kingdom.

The invitation is not simply to understand the Kingdom, but to learn to live from it—bringing the reality of Heaven into the earth.

What does the House of God look like when it is built according to God's design? Explore the Church as a living organism called to express the reality of the Kingdom on earth. Discover what it means to be a transcendent Church—one that lives from the unseen reality of God's Kingdom and brings that reality into the visible world. Learn why fulfilling God's design requires more than operating within earthly systems; it requires living from a different reality.

SESSION 3: The Kingdom Paradigm Shift

You cannot fully live from a reality you have not learned to recognize. Discover the importance of shifting your paradigm to align with the Kingdom of God.

Panel Interview: Living the Transcendent Life

Speakers: Pastor Stephen Ward, Bishop Kevin Wallace, and Pastor Mike Darnell

How do we learn to live a transcendent life? In this panel interview, discover the mindset required to live from the reality of God’s Kingdom and how we must change the way we approach God, life, the Church, and even worship to operate according to His design. It is time to transcend the ideas and limitations we have been taught, lay down our personal preferences, and embrace a greater dimension of life with God. Discover what it means to move beyond what is familiar and align your thinking, your posture, and your life with the reality of His Kingdom.

SESSION 4: Formed and Filled

Speaker: Bishop Kevin Wallace

A form of godliness is not the same as a life or a church filled with the power of God.

Explore the relationship between spiritual formation, the life of the Spirit, and the power required to express the reality of God's Kingdom in everyday life.

The goal is more than acquiring Kingdom knowledge. It is learning to live from the Kingdom, embody its reality, and become an expression of Heaven on earth.
