Reviving The Fire

The latest film called "Cessationist" is really another amping up of the current theological debate going on between Christians, or those who may not even be Christians but have decided to join the fight against those have refused to cease the use of their spiritual gifts as Christians.

Perhaps you haven't been following this whole conflict, but you still want to hear more!

This episode is for you!

In this podcast I sha...

No matter what church, Christian group or organization - every leadership board makes mistakes here and there.

But we want to make sure any leadership board we serve on or serve under does things from a Biblical point of view.

Recently the trials and tribulations at the IHOP (International House of Prayer) Ministry in Kansas City, Kansas have exploded into the mainstream media. 

Founder and former lead pa...

Lately people have been asking me questions about the Bible. I used to have so many questions myself. 

And still to this day, I need to go to the Bible daily for my own spiritual health.

The Christian life is filled with twists and turns. At times, confusion and doubt can come upon us like a dark fog - we get disoriented, if not completely flipped upside down.

But nothing to fear IF we have the map! And w...

Matthew 5-7 talks about the best sermon ever preached.
Of course, the preacher was Jesus Himself!

The sermon was titled "Sermon on the Mount."

As we get ready to celebrate Independence Day, I encourage each of us to also discover true Freedom on the inside - where the deepest part of each of us dwells within our souls.

America has more Independence than any nation or generation is history! B...

People often ask "What is repentance anyway?"
Or "What does the Bible say about repentance?"

Great question.

Maybe this is one of the most important questions in life. We have to learn how to repent if we hope to have everlasting life with Jesus in heaven.

If your not sure you even want that, well maybe this episode isn't for you. Then again, maybe it is, but you just need to...

Good Friday is probably the saddest day of the Christian calendar year for most Christians. It is sad for obvious reasons. 

And yet it is also the most necessary. He died on a Roman Cross for you and me so that we might not perish eternally, but have everlasting life.

The night Jesus was crucified, two thieves were crucified with Him. These 2 thieves had a very enlightening conversation. It was the last conversati...

We have all been through experiences where we felt shame or embarrassment.

Maybe you were embarrassed of your parents when you were in school, or of yourself. I relate to that.

I share a very funny story to begin this episode where I worked at an ice cream stand with my best friend in high school, and after a few days of just getting bored of the same ole thing of scooping ice cream for 6 hours in hot sun - we mad...

It seems like every restaurant, cafe, small business asks you and I to give them a great review on facebook, Yelp or Google.

You can even rate your local church and help others decide if it is doing a good job, or not so good.

Well here's the thing: wether we give our church a good rating or bad rating on Google Reviews... the Bible says our church will also be given a HEAVENLY RATING!

In the book of...

This episode is about the accuracy of the New Testament, and in particular, the book of Acts. There is quite a bit of disagreement right now online and off as to whether the book of Acts was even a legitimate historical account to begin with.

You will find many who reject both books written by Luke - The Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, because they are deemed to be full of inaccuracies and made up locations, people, e...

Hey Y'all!
Check out last Friday's podcast episode:
"BORN AGAIN EDEN"

Did you ever think it would be possible for people to live forever someday?

Well it may seem like we are getting there slowly. But in all honesty, men and women still have a hard time reaching 100 years old.

Did you know the first man and woman (Adam & Eve) lived to be 1,000 years old?

Don&apos...

Want the secret to all your life's problems in one word? Of course you do!

It may sound trite, but at the end of the day, God wants to be our helper and deliverer in each and every struggle we face.

That being said, there is only one way to position ourselves so that we do experience victory and triumph in our struggles - we must surrender.

Surrender sounds strange at first.  We are used to warring a...

On this episode we talk about the "spiritual junk food" that often fills us to the point that we cannot eat anything of eternal value. 

We all know that we need to hunger and thirst for righteousness. We know that, if we are calling ourselves true Followers of Christ... we need to hunger for prayer and reading the Bible.

What if we so fill ourselves with spiritual junk food, that we have no room for REAL...

It's time for a filter check, people!

It's time to filter our filter!

We all have certain filters, or ways we interpret truth, that can cloud or even block our ability to see correctly.

Imagine wearing that really annoying bright yellow or super blue pair of sunglasses and then looking at a white vase and thinking its really a yellow or blue vase.

Only to discover, it was your filter th...

What do you do when someone sins against you and you are tempted to become bitter? Or even worse, what if you are bitter and you know that unforgiveness is something you struggle with all the time?

If so - this episode is for you!

Let's be honest - all of us experience the sins of others in this life. There are sinful acts, words, even thoughts that others commit against us that we may not even be aware of.

Have you heard of the term, "First Love?" 

It's not the way we normally explain our closest relationships.  
On the other hand, it kinda works, right? 

"Hey have you met my first love - Jennifer?"

On this episode we are going to dig deeper into this whole idea of having our First Love. 
And we will dig into why only God can be that First Love in our lives. 

And ye...

Have you had relationships where things were going great and then, suddenly, without warning... it was over?

Maybe the relationship ended because of soemthing they did and you had enough, put a fork in that baby and moved on to the next one.

Or perhaps it was the other person who just ended things seemingly out of nowhere, leaving you hanging bro!

Either way, these sad abrupt endings are normal, in one se...

Is it wrong to have people ask Jesus to come into their hearts?

Ephesians 3:17 says “That Christ may make His home in your hearts “ It also says we must be born again.  John 3:3. And it does say we are new creations in Christ where Christ takes dwelling inside us! Galatians 2:20, Colossians 1:27, 

So I would say we have to be careful to teach this is not correct just because we don’t have every single word exactly. Although Ephesians...

In this episode, we take a look at how to deconstruct your faith with the Bible. 

Yes there is a way to deconstruct a faith that was never constructed properly to begin with.  Jesus talks to a Jewish Religious leader in John chapter 3, and literally helps him deconstruct his faith right there! 

John 3:3 says "Unless a man (or women) is born again, they will not see the Kingdom of God." This absolutely sh...
