Pursue Him

Pursue Him is a Christian teaching podcast rooted in sermon excerpts, ministry announcements, and urgent biblical exhortation. Its center of gravity is pursuit: pursuing Jesus, pursuing God’s word, and pursuing a life that responds rather than merely listens. The episodes draw heavily from Scripture. Matthew 25 becomes a teaching on ability, entrusted grace, movement, and refusing to sit on what God has placed in a person’s life. Matthew 21 becomes a meditation on availability, command, and the line, “the Lord has need of them.” Genesis 18 becomes a lesson in faith, honor, attentiveness, and receiving specific prophetic direction. The register is energetic. The messages repeat key words until they become anchors: go, honor, faith, word, gift, grace. That repetition gives the show the feel of a live church service rather than a studio essay. Sam introduces some material as host, and Pastor Derek is presented as ministering recent words. Another intro names Pastor Derek and Kim D'Souza, placing the show within a wider Pursue Him context. The teaching often moves quickly from biblical text to personal challenge. It asks listeners to value Scripture over feelings, to stop waiting passively for miracles, and to build a life of faith that can carry what God is doing. There is also a strong practical streak. The show mentions prayer nights, ministry resources, parenting work, and discipleship language alongside the sermons themselves. Pursue Him is best for believers who want charged preaching with a strong emphasis on obedience and spiritual activation. It is not trying to be neutral religious analysis. It is devotional, directive, and openly ministry-minded. The show’s distinct appeal is its live-message intensity: Scripture is read aloud, pressed hard, and turned into a present-tense call to move.
