Before we get the contrast of the Spirit and flesh late in Romans, we first get the contrast of Spirit and the law. Early in Romans, the Apostle Paul teaches us how to move out of the law and into grace. This teaching helps us understand that movement into the new is not possible without movement away from the old. The new is a covenant that is creating a new government!

In this episode of Kingdom Conversations, we go live into the Q&A session from our June 2024 Under The Oaks gathering. Under the Oaks - June 8th, 2024
We're moving away from personal lordship and we're becoming a people that are moved by the impulses of the Spirit. The Spirit is Lord over everything that provokes appetite. Now that we've been liberated by the Lordship of the Holy Spirit, all of our appetites are under the governmental control of the Spirit. The Homestead Mobile - June 4th, 2024
For years, the Holy Spirit has been nothing more than a depersonalized force that when we talked about Him, it was in reference to what happened in a corporate setting. However, we're now discovering that the Father and Jesus are interested in you and I coming into an intimate knowledge of the person of the Holy Spirit. More importantly, his lordship.
As essential as the Son is to teach us the nature of the Father, equally as essential is the Spirit to impart to us the revelation of the Son. The Spirit is the mystery and modesty of God. So now we're learning instead of looking at the depersonalized version of the Spirit as a force of wind, we now look at Him more appropriately as the ultra personal force of breath. The Homestead Mobile - May 10th, 2024
We're beginning to move in a common revelation of Yeshua that is creating an interior enlightenment. An enlightenment that changes the world as you and I come together inside of the revelation that two are better than one. This coming together is bringing an understanding that we're pre horizoned, called to Him, made righteous and we are called to live outside of time. Through this we become splendorous together! The Homestead Mobile - May, 3rd 2024
The regenerated man becomes both a principle witness as well as a force of provocation to the cosmos. From here, a mystery unfolds. The sons are not just learning how to live in the circle dance, but from this holy and sacred positional inheritance, the sons are saying to the cosmos, "may I have this dance." The Homestead Mobile - April 19th, 2024
We are recovering a Patristic humanity that will indeed reform our ideas about what it actually means to be saved. Not simply what we have been saved from, but far more significant is whom we have been saved for. The Homestead Mobile - April 12th, 2024
God did not just rescue humanity from sin. He rescued humanity from the root of sin, which is delusion. However now that our perspective is being repaired, exclusively through the lens of Jesus, the delusion that the Father is anything else other than love is beginning to fade away and we are returning to our original design. Becoming a heavenly humanity. The Homestead Mobile - March 28th, 2024
The chief challenge of being designed for more is that you will not fit in places that are designed for less. Although everyone may have the language of being designed for more, few are willing to go through the transformation of their wine skin in order that their wine skin can hold the more it was designed to hold. Under the Oaks - March 27th, 2024
We go live into the Q&A session from our leadership gathering, Under The Oaks. Over 500 leaders from all over the world gathered and it was amazing to sit and discuss the questions that could be in their hearts! Under the Oaks - March 27th, 2024
Damon Thompson explores the concept of "wild tenderness," contrasting humanity's domesticated nature with the Father's desire for the untamed. He unpacks Genesis 27 and the story of Jacob's deception, highlighting how manipulation and false identities hinder true blessing. The episode critiques church growth models that foster conformity over genuine connection and calls for leaders to abandon the "armor" of fear and embrace a vulnerable, tender heart. Through scriptural examples like David and Zacchaeus, Thompson illustrates that true strength and transformation come from an unreserved trust in Abba's love, allowing wounds to heal into fountains of compassion and inviting a return to a childlike, pliable spirit essential for inheriting the kingdom and manifesting the new earth.
An appropriate thematic interpretation of Romans, specifically Romans 8, is vitally important for this culture as we move forward. Unfortunately, Romans has been read, specifically in the West, as a book whose sole topic is about me and my salvation at worst, or us and our salvation at best. However, we're now recovering and unveiling the true meaning of this life-changing book! The Homestead Mobile - March 22nd, 2024
The book of Romans is not a road map to the American version of salvation. Romans is an invitation to a kingdom demonstration of a new humanity, ruling inside of a new creation. Coming into this new reality is the result of a union where God can finally begin to show us new things inside of this revelation. The Homestead Mobile - March 15th, 2024
Creation is pregnant and waiting on you and I to show her what she needs to deliver. Creation cannot produce what's in her until you and I unlock her by showing her you and I finally reformed back in the image of the one that created us. We're finally believing that we're predestined to be conformed into the image of the Son and it's bringing creation back into it's original intended form. The Homestead Mobile - March 8th, 2024
We are recovering a patristic christology that will indeed reform our ideas of what it actually means to be saved. And ultimately what it means to be human. You are not primarily being prepared to do a task. But rather you are principally being prepared to become a pattern. An image bearer to the culture! Choose the ancient path and unlock the created order! The Homestead Mobile - March 1st, 2024
What you and I are being invited into is not being equal to God, it's about being light like God is light. John 17 declares to us that He's sharing the union that creates the measure of light. And He wants us to have union the exact same way He has union, which means we'll have light the same way He has light! We're coming face to face and becoming the light! The Homestead Mobile - February 23rd, 2024
After a brief time away, we are back for another time of powerful conversation in Episode 10! We discuss the increase of Presence and strength that is developing here locally in Mobile, the power of being intentional, what we sense coming in the future, the marriage of outpouring and theology, and Papa D answers one of the most often asked questions to us; What literature does he recommend/or what books have helped him in this progressing theological journey? As always, we sense the Holy Spirit ...
There is a measure of union that is inaccessible until we surrender to the mystical aspects of what union looks like. Devotion still has a semblance of being dependent on ourselves. This mystical life of union reminds us that it's not about works, but about His radical goodness and the fact that I am beloved! Special Teaching Session/The Homestead Mobile - February 13th, 2024
We felt compelled to share this raw recording from a recent staff meeting. We are being called into an unwavering posture of being open and intentional. The light we have longed for is not something we inherit organically or even atmospherically. It only happens intentionally. **AUDIO DISCLAIMER** Considering these recordings are usually only for reference by our staff, the audio quality isn't as high as we endeavor to share publicly. Our team has worked to make the dialogue as audible as possib...
Not only were we saved from darkness, but we were saved for real authentic God light! We're learning that like and light are interchangeable. So to be like God is light and to be light is to be like God. The love of Abba, and union with Him, is generating the likeness and light in us that we were designed for! The Homestead Mobile - February 2nd, 2024
The creation of man was brought about through trinitarian union. So you and I understanding what we were spawned from is actually what we are now being called to return to. We're no longer afraid to traverse these dimensions knowing there is safety inside of knowing we are fully loved. The Homestead Mobile - January 26th, 2024
We're learning to look like the Father not based on our morality or our spiritual disciplines, but through His love. He is loving us into looking like Him! We lay our spiritual disciplines at His feet and we say ravish us instead. We're becoming exactly what He intended us to be, a beloved burning bride! The Homestead Mobile - January 5th, 2024
If our perspective can become braided with Abba's perspective, then you and I will begin to move into a level of breakthrough that is not based on what we know. It's simply based on who we've married. This is not contractual, it's covenantal. This is how we function in Theosis safely, by living in a constant state of being overwhelmed by intimacy. The Homestead Mobile - December 30th, 2023
Beholding is the means of becoming. Now that our view of God is being viewed exclusively through the lens of Jesus, we not only see Him right, but we can also become who we really are. We are God's beloved children right now. But being His beloved children is only the beginning! Get ready to become illuminative! The Homestead Mobile - December 29th, 2023
Jesus came to demonstrate a life of divine fellowship, carry us back into that life of divine fellowship and share that life of divine fellowship until you and I became what were designed to be. We're beginning to understand that the incarnation of the word of God was about fixing our broken perspectives of the nature of the Father. The Homestead Mobile - December 22nd, 2023
We are back for our first conversation since September and this may have been our most honest, vulnerable, and powerful time yet. As we discussed the journey through the wilderness, the goodness of God, and His unrelenting grip on our lives, the Presence of the Lord filled our time together. To search for words can many times seem to cheapen the experience. So just go ahead and take a listen. We pray His grace and power fill you as you join in our Kingdom Conversation.
We're finally beginning to believe that the Father is not angry with us, nor is He disappointed in us, but He is for us. He is coming to us with a level of love that changes the way we think about what we're going through and what we're going through is becoming the answer for what we cried out for in the secret place. We are encountering His eyes and they are full of love and light! The Homestead Mobile - November 26th, 2023
Maturity finds the presence of Jesus and sits down. Once you find the presence, catch your breath and become fully seated in this rest filled life. You'll never operate in sustained breakthrough or multiplication until you learn to come into rest. Rest is our eternal posture! The Homestead Mobile - November 3rd, 2023
Abba is calling us into a place of elevated theology. He's asking us to cast off old thinking so that we can finally rest in the finished work of Christ. We can finally say with full assurance that Jesus is exactly what the Father has to say about not only Himself, but about us as well. The Father is, and will always be, kind! The Homestead Mobile - October 31st, 2023
