Three Baptisms and Intimacy Language
May 2, 202500:53:55Tap to summarizeYou are invited into this wonderful conversation with my friend and spiritual director, Larry Spousta, as he talks about the biblical idea of different baptisms and what he calls an "intimacy language." If you are longing for more, Larry is a great guide. Let's explore.
Transcribe →Be Subject to Authorities? Exploring Romans 13
Apr 18, 202500:40:52Tap to summarizeAs we continue to explore the terrain of North American Christianity, including Christian Nationalism, one of the questions that has come up for me is what to do with Romans 13 regarding how we are to relate to governing authority, especially authority that we disagree with. How are we to understand this?
Transcribe →Inherent Identity with Tyson Bradley
Apr 4, 202500:51:15Tap to summarizeIf you and Jesus walked into a room full of people, how would he introduce you? Are we able to believe and receive the goodness of what Jesus would say? I'd like to introduce you to my new friend, Tyson Bradley, as we explore some of this identity work of the Holy Spirit. On our way to hearing what God wants to say to us about who He has made us to be in the world, we will also explore some prayerful grounding exercises that can help us be more present to God and our own selves as we seek to give God our attention in prayer. Let's explore.
Transcribe →Dealing with Our Idolatry
Mar 21, 202500:40:52Tap to summarizeAs we continue our exploration of Christian Nationalism, I believe what lies at the heart of it is an idolatry of nation. Yet, in the process of digging into that, we will uncover our own idolatries. Where are you feeling fear these days? Or anger? What feels threatened? It may be that there is an idol hidden in the basement of our hearts.
Transcribe →Powers, Principalities and Renouncing the Idolatry of Nationalism
Mar 7, 202500:51:41Tap to summarizeWe are doing a deep dive into the Scriptures with Bob Ekblad as we cover a lot of biblical terrain regarding what are called "powers and principalities." The path leads us to some key scriptures where Paul describes idolatry as serving the creature instead of the Creator and Jesus saying we cannot serve two masters. As we discern how we are to respond to powers and principalities, the first step for all of us must be to renounce the idolatry of nationalism. Unless we break with our brand of nationalism and are born from above, we will not see the kingdom of God, but will only see our particular nationalistic ideas of what kingdom looks like. Let's explore!
Transcribe →Spiritual Self-Care in a Season of Chaos
Feb 21, 202500:40:52Tap to summarizeI am finding that my spiritual life is taking more time and intention these days. As I wrestle with what is going on in the world around me and not living from a place of constant reactivity, I hear Jesus calling me to set my mind on things above where He is seated at the right hand of God. And to not set my mind on things on the earth. How do we do this without just burying our heads in the spiritual sand? Let's explore.
Transcribe →What IN THE WORLD is the Holy Spirit doing in Latin America!
Feb 14, 202500:56:22Tap to summarizeJoin me with Dr. Paul Olver, the Director of Operations for Impact Latin America as he shares about what the Holy Spirit is doing in Latin America and we reflect on our recent trip to Uruguay.
Transcribe →Biblical Prophets Speak Truth to Power
Feb 7, 202500:40:52Tap to summarizeAs we continue to discern whether the prophetic voices promoting Christian Nationalism are speaking God's heart and God's kingdom priorities, it is important to take a look at what the prophets were doing and saying in the Bible. We don't have to look very far to see that they were not political "yes-men" but regularly challenged religious and political leadership for their idolatry and neglect of the poor. What can that tell us about what we are seeing in Christian Nationalism? Let's take a look.On a separate note, if you are interested in registering for the upcoming Dunamis Essentials #4: The Healing Ministry of Jesus, you can go here. https://www.prmi.org/event/dunamis-essentials-4-the-healing-ministry-of-jesus-online-2025/If you have any issues in getting registered, contact our registrar, Al Kester, at organickester@gmail.com
