Is Salvation About Our Destination?
2w ago00:42:35Tap to summarizeMaybe you've heard what we refer to as "the Gospel," condensed into some version of "Jesus died so you could be forgiven and go to heaven someday." But, is that the Gospel? Is what we call salvation primarily about whether we end up in heaven as opposed to hell? If this is how it has been framed for you, you may be surprised to learn that Jesus never talked about it like that. Let's explore.
Transcribe →What is Up With Christian Zionism?
Jun 1200:40:52Tap to summarize"Theology has real-life consequences." So writes Brian Zahnd in a recent Substack article where he talks about Christian Zionism and the support of the violence of Israel against Palestinians. Last season and a few episodes ago, we dipped into topics surrounding the unconditional Christian support for Israel. It is all tied to Christian Zionism, which is the child of Dispensationalism and Zionism. Confused? Let's explore.
Transcribe →Do You Want to Experience Transformation?
May 2100:43:35Tap to summarizeOver the past year, I've had the opportunity to accompany people in prayer as they forgive those who have wronged them. The level of transformation and freedom I am witnessing has been breathtaking. I have watched people go from bondage and darkness to light, joy and life. This isn't a new topic for us, but it is a new season where God is helping people break through some of the things that are blocking them from receiving his love. Let's explore!
Transcribe →Unhindered
Apr 2600:40:52Tap to summarizeWhat has God been speaking to you in this season? Can you look back and make some connections between different points of contact where the Spirit has been moving in you? As I reflect on a recent encounter with the love of the Father, I find myself making connections to the word God gave me for 2026.
Transcribe →Are We in the End Times?
Apr 100:40:52Tap to summarizeWhen you look around you, have you heard people ask (or wondered yourself) if we are in the "end times"? Where does this idea come from? You may be surprised to find that the version of this theological framework is relatively new by Church history standards - only 150 years - and is part of what is called Dispensationalism. Let's explore and see if what we are being told is consistent with the testimony of Jesus and the Scriptures.
Transcribe →In the Lord's Army?
Mar 1300:40:52Tap to summarizeThere has been a lot of religious rhetoric with the outbreak of military action against Iran, as well as from Sec. Def. Pete Hegseth. As followers of Jesus, who told us to love our enemies, who laid his life down for his enemies (us!), how are we to think of the language being used to support military action? Let's explore.
Transcribe →Blaspheming the Name of God?
Feb 2700:44:27Tap to summarizeMy friend and mentor, Bob Ekblad, recently wrote an article on the Church in North America and its support of the agendas and actions being promoted by the present administration. Bob quotes Romans 2, where Paul writes that "the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you," and directs this prophetic critique toward the American Church and ties it to idolatry. Ready or not, here we go!
Transcribe →God Met Me in the Closet of My Unresolved Pain
Feb 600:44:17Tap to summarizeAfter more than three years, we are back with Willow Weston, as she talks about her book, "Collide, Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt." Willow shares about how Jesus met her when she was hiding in the closet with her pain and brought her out into healing. This book is a permission slip for people to name their pain and begin courageously saying Yes to letting God heal it. Join us and begin to experience the power and healing found in Jesus.
Transcribe →Get Desperate for God
Jan 2300:42:13Tap to summarize"The God of the Universe wants me alive!" This realization changed everything for my friend, Caleb Epps. Join us as he tells his amazing story of the powerful work Jesus did in him and is doing through him as he lives from a place of being desperate for God to show up.
Transcribe →What Was Lost Has Been Found
Jan 900:40:52Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I share a family story of restoration. I'm not going to tell you more, so I don't give it away. But I believe God wants to restore what has been lost in families in this season. Get ready for a miracle!
