Life Around "The Fire"
This podcast is dedicated to those wanting to experience a living and real relationship with God as well as growing together in love for one another. We consider that to be a true sign of spiritual growth as we journey along The Way. If this is you then come along with us as we co-operate with God in what He is doing around the corner and around the world!

Your biggest spiritual breakthroughs might be hiding inside your most annoying unfinished project. I’m rebuilding parts of our ministry from the ground up, from learning a digital audio workstation at 67 to setting up a communication center for podcasts, music recording, and video, and even moving our website away from a provider that made every step harder than it needed to be. What surprised me wasn’t ...
The words you speak are not just noise and one dream makes that impossible to ignore. We start with Hebrews 4:12 and the claim that the Word of God is alive, active, and sharp enough to cut through the tangled mix of thoughts, motives, fear, and desire that lives inside all of us. Then we share a striking 1980 dream where a declaration from the mouth becomes a double-edged sword and the forces that torment the world...
We share why the podcast has been quiet lately while we build a digital audio workstation, then we turn to what’s been burning in our hearts: Spirit-led unity in the body of Christ. We walk through new birth, repentance, and 1 Corinthians 12 to remind each of us that we’re equal in value, different in function, and stronger together when God shifts our roles.

Something is building in Northeast Florida, and we can feel the urgency of it. As Sukkot 2026 comes to a close, we’re joining with friends to host gatherings October 2 through 4, then leaning straight into a tent revival in McClenny from October 5 through 10. We’re asking listeners to pray with us for an outpouring of God not only worldwide, but specifically across a 250-mile radius around Jacksonville. ...
The disciples asked the question we all want answered: “Is this the time?” We go to Acts 1 to sit in that moment with Jesus, where He refuses to give a timetable and instead gives a mission. The Father holds the times and dates by His own authority, but Jesus promises something immediate and tangible: power when the Holy Spirit comes, and a life that becomes a witness from our neighborhood to the ends of...
*** Editors note: In the early part of this episode David miquoted the Scripture refrerrence. He should have said the text was found in Hebrews Chapert 13 not 1 Corithinians 13... even the best of us make mistakes... LoL... At least we admit to them when we make them. Selah... *** We hold up a promise from Scripture that steadies us when life feels unstable: God will never leave us or forsake us, so we can live with...
We compare the months of planning behind King Charles III’s 2026 Washington, DC visit with the far deeper preparation we believe is underway for Jesus Christ’s return. We talk about Holy Spirit refinement, covenant relationship, and what it means to live as a people marked by the Kingdom of God.
• King Charles’ visit as a picture of honor and preparation
• Jesus’ literal ret...
The world feels louder than it used to, and not in a good way. When you’re surrounded by pressure, cruelty, and nonstop noise, it’s easy to get numb, cynical, or simply tired. We start there, naming the reality of spiritual darkness while also holding onto a bigger claim: God’s Spirit is moving like a rising wave, and we’re meant to meet this moment equipped, not overwhelmed.
From that...
Worry can feel like responsibility, but it slowly turns into a vise that squeezes the life out of you. We slow down and listen closely to Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25–34, where he doesn’t offer a vague pep talk. He gives a direct command, “Do not worry,” and then points to the birds of the air and the lilies of the field as a picture of a Father who sees, knows, and provides. If you&rsq...
Your problem might not be as big as it feels, it might just be too close. We talk about a spiritual perspective shift that took us from staring up at pressure to standing above it, and how that change reshapes what we see, what we say, and what we expect from God when life feels tight.
We share a real moment where financial need looked like it would push everything into the negative, then walk through what ha...
Unity can sound abstract until you see what it does under pressure. We dig into why Spirit-led unity is one of the most countercultural signs of real Christianity and how it can literally change the atmosphere around us. When God’s internal strength meets the world’s external pressure, something shifts: peace rises, joy steadies, and people can finally see what life with Jesus looks like in the flesh and...
A lot of people don’t walk away from God because they stop believing He exists. They walk away because they believe He’s angry, impossible to please, and ready to punish the moment they mess up. We start with a short story that exposes how easily we misread love as control and protection as deprivation.
We share the moment that grabbed us: three kids sneak into the woods after years of hearing &ld...
“Law” is one of those words that can instantly shut people down, but what if we’ve been aiming at the wrong target? We sit with Rabbi Ed Bez and open up a covenant-focused way of reading the Bible that refuses the easy split between Old Testament and New Testament. For us, this is about spiritual growth that actually changes relationships, first with God, then with each other, and covenant becomes ...
Peace gets talked about like it is a vibe or a temporary break from conflict. We go somewhere deeper. Rabbi Ed Bez joins us to unpack the biblical idea of covenant through the Hebrew word breet, then lands on Ezekiel’s stunning promise: God will cut a covenant of shalom, an everlasting covenant. Shalom is not a greeting and it is not simply “no fighting.” We talk about shalom as wholeness, complete...
AI can hand you an answer in seconds, but it cannot teach you how to discern what is holy, what is true, and what is actually from God. We sit down with Lonnie Lane for a prayerful, open-mic conversation that starts with the reality we are all feeling: the nations are shifting, the noise is louder, and believers need a deeper kind of steadiness than information can provide. We also take time to pray for the peace of...
If you’ve ever longed for the glory of God but quietly wondered what it would demand of you, this conversation goes straight to the heart of it. We sit down with Lonnie Lane for an honest, wide ranging talk about hosting and stewarding the glory of the Lord, and why God’s presence is never meant to be a private experience we protect from the world.
We unpack what it looks like for the Church to mo...
Your faith can feel strong right up until the moment real life demands proof. We start with a clear declaration we’re willing to stand on: God is faithful, and His love never fails. Then we get honest about the place many of us live in, the gap between believing God’s promises and feeling unsure when a new challenge shows up. If you’ve ever thought, “He’s been faithful before, but what ...
If you’ve ever wondered whether your faith is strong or just loud, this conversation lands like a mirror. We start by reading all of 1 Corinthians 13 and letting it set the standard: without the love of God, even the most impressive spiritual gifts, sacrifice, and knowledge turn into noise. We slow down on the words we think we already know, patience, kindness, truth, endurance, and ask what agape love looks l...
We talk about why Kingdom leadership flips the usual top-down model and calls us to serve from underneath as we lift people up. We also get practical about spiritual rhythm, showing how rest and play protect leaders from burnout and bring our relationship with God back to life.
• servant leadership as the culture of the Kingdom of God
• a balanced rhythm of work rest worship and play
•...
Two words can quietly shrink your life: always and never. When we say “it’s always going to be like this” or “I’ll never change,” we turn a passing struggle into a permanent sentence. We pull those words apart and put them where they belong, not on our temporary feelings, but on God’s unchanging character: He is always God, always good, and never anything less than who He is...
