Join Steve Bremner this week as he discusses the taboo subject of money in the church with Dr Stephen R. Crosby. Dr Crosby recently published a book called "Money & The Church", and like usual, we get down to business killing some sacred cows. But, lest you think this is just going to be a rant against practices that we think are bad and unbiblical in the Body of Christ regarding how money is acquired and used, we also encourage a different approach. One that is the source of life. We spend ...

Join us this week as Steve Bremner interviews Tim Young, author of the book Heartstone: A Journey Out of the Midnight of My Soul. Tim shares the concept behind the title and transparently shares his own struggles he went through that led to the writing of this book. I can't recommend this book enough, hence, having Tim on the podcast.

We finally made it to episode 100! It's been an interesting 6 year ride. Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner talk about the best (and worst) of the podcast over the years and discuss the direction we feel the Lord taking us in the next 100 episodes of the podcast. This week we don't cover a lot of the prophetic or theology, but instead answer important questions like: What makes a good episode of Fire On Your Head? What really happened between Steve Bremner and his original co-host Dan Slavin? We sha...

This week we finally have back on the podcast authors Dr Stephen Crosby and SJ HIll, and talk about being agents of beautification for the kingdom of God. We discuss how to be fascinated by God's beauty, and understand how He feels about us as an antidote to a boring spiritual life. We also answer questions like how do we encourage ourself in the Lord? You won't want to miss this discussion as it is unlike the previous discussions the three of us have had. Check out Brian Zahnd's book Beauty Wil...

Join Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner as we attempt to have a discussion on the power of purity, but wind up getting sidetracked by the Holy Spirit and wind up talking about something else instead. You know those podcast discussions between the two of us where we wind up having had a totally thought provoking and edifying spontaneous discussion? Yeah, one of those. If I could sum it up, I'd say we talked about "micro" and "macro" revelation. That's to say, how God is intimately and deeply involved...

Welcome back to the podcast. Sorry for the delay, but hey, at least we've now got a new theme song thanks to Jose Aljovin . It only took me nearly 100 episodes and over 5 years to get around to it, but hey, better late than never, right? This week we have on the podcast my pastor Stephen Best returning for another discussion. This time, he let me just ask him questions about his thoughts on some of the stuff that goes on in some charismatic circles. We talk about gold dust, angel feathers, 100-f...

Join us as Steve Bremner and Dave Edwards chat it up. We begin sharing a bit of a personal testimony from Steve, who is a missionary to Peru, concerning God's faithfulness and provision while currently in Canada, as well as how God's plans are not always the same as our plans. You will be encouraged. Then we talk and reminisce about the journey of the podcast over the last 5 years as well as the Fire Press site over the last four and how Dave's released his book The Call For Revivalists , as the...

This week we're privileged to have back Dr Stephen Crosby on the show to talk some more about subjects he's passionate about. This week: spiritual fathering. What is a father/son relationship in the Bible? Is your pastor your spiritual father? Is a pastor or apostolic leader in the Body of Christ a father to those who attend his or her church simply by virtue of their title or accomplishments for the kingdom of God? What does mentoring and discipling look like in father son relationships, at lea...

This week we invite back Mark Burgess and Shaun Wissmann, both missionaries who are a part of missional community in Chorrillos, Peru. This week we talk about abiding and resting in Him. Why is it so hard for so many of us to stop, sit back and take moments to simply abide? Why do many of us feel the constant drive and need to be busy doing something, anything, for the Kingdom of God?

Join us this week as we discuss another insidious doctrine that's ready for a sacred cow barbecue. This week Stephen Crosby, S.J. Hill and Steve Bremner chat it up again, and this time cover 'the new Jezebel'--which is nothing more than a newly packaged old lie, which basically discourages anybody from asking questions or challenging things that are said or done. It's a subtle form of manipulation that some leaders use in order to insulate themselves from being challenged. It's a form of manipul...

Join us this week as we finally have another discussion with the star of American Missionary, Gregg Montella. He shares a little bit about the anti-human trafficking ministry work he's doing in countries like Moldova, and then we get down to talking about the abundant love and grace of God. Is grace really a license to sin? Is it "sloppy agape"? Where does the grace of God truly fit in the believer's life and ability to live a holy, repentant life? Join us to find out as we have a fun and insigh...

This week we ask the question "revive what?". What is revival and what is being revived? We cut through the buzz words and discuss what this is and what it looks like in the Scriptures. We get into asking these questions from the get go and dive into 'outpouring' versus discipleship. If a real outpouring happened, would we be ready? Would we even really want it? What if God actually answered our romanticized prayers for a revival? Would we be ready for it? Join us this week as Steve Bremner has ...

Join us this week for our podcast discussion with Mark Burgess, and Shaun Wissmann, both missionaries and serving in missional community in Chorrillos, Peru. We shoot the breeze and discuss the differences between missional community and house churches. Is it just an alternative to “big churches?” What is a community on mission together? When the writer of Hebrews talks about not forsaking gathering together, is this referring to attending a weekly service, or something more profoundly missed in...

Have you ever been told you’re in rebellion if you don’t obey your leaders? Have you ever been taught spiritual authority, that emphasized complicity with leaders for complicity’s sake alone because, “they’re above you?” Or, have you ever been told you need to be “under a spiritual covering” or curses from God will fall on you? If so, then have we got quite a discussion for you today. Join us this week as Steve Bremner has a sacred cow barbecue with a couple of insightful authors: SJ Hill, inter...

We’re finally back for our first podcast together in several months. Join Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner as they discuss Matthew 18, and what Scripture says regarding how to deal with a fellow brother and excommunication. Why is the Church viewed as those who shoot their wounded rather than helping restore one another who are caught in a trespass? With all the much ado being made about a certain large mega church having made members sign documents for ‘discipline’ in the name of adherence to Mat...

The ceilings of one generation become the floor the next generation stands on. Do you know the purpose of your generation? According to several surveys and studies, the current generation in America under the age of 30 outnumbers the Baby Boomer generation, and these are the ones who are going to be tomorrow’s leaders, innovators, politicians, and…..church leaders. But yet only 1 in 20 consider themselves spiritual or Christian. Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner discuss a bit of what living in a po...

Do we really understand what it means to have the mind of Christ? The attached photo credit for this episode is from the movie Johny Nmeumonic, and it was about a man who carried important ‘downloads’ in his mind. But in order to carry it all, he had to erase part of his permanent memory. In the Christian’s case, we have the mind of Christ and don’t need to erase anything. But does that mean the instant we’re born again we suddenly know every thing? Of course not. We have access to all things th...

This week we’re privileged to have on the podcast Stephen Best, pastor of River Run Fellowship in Peterborough, Ontario, for a discussion regarding finding and fufilling your purpose in God. It was very refreshing, and we discuss some sacred cows, such as; Are there such things as ‘divine appointments’? Does God have a pre-arranged soulmate for each one of us? Can we know whether we’re in God’s permissive will or His perfect will? Or do such distinctions even exist in the God journey? This was d...

Join us again this week as Jeremy Connor, Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner discuss the kingdom of God–or at least try to, as this is probably going to come up again in the near future but we start off with a good discussion. Questions that came up and may or may not have gotten answered: What is the kingdom of God? Is it linear through out all of history, or is its full manifestation future tense only? Do you bring heaven to earth with your words, and actions? Do you live a supernatural lifestyle?...

Presence removes the need for argument. Revival is a bi-product of His presence. Join us this week as we go in a completely different direction from last week’s discussion and cover the presence of God. This week we talk with Jeremy Connor, a friend of Dave Edwards’ and teacher at Bethel Life in their home church. We had a lot of fun yet covered some deep stuff as well, and ask challenging questions like: Do you value a book or do you value HIM? Is being ‘desperate’ for God or “spiritually hungr...

Does hell really exist? Of course it does, and that's not what we talk about today on the podcast, but rather who goes there and how to know if you're one of them, and what to do about it. We post this rather urgent discussion about eternity and eternal matters, because in a current season when many people are talking about hell, it seems most are just watering it down or re-writing Scripture. So, that's why today on the podcast, Joel Crumpton shares his thoughts with Steve Bremner concerning th...

Join us this week as we finally have back on the show author and international speaker S.J. Hill. He joins Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner as we talk about judgment. We tried to discuss and answer some of the following questions: Does God really send disasters and calamities to cities and nations in order to teach its people lessons? If so, does it work? Does a ‘rapture mentality’ produce a people interested in what happens in the earth during their generation? Does the Church have way too pessim...

This week we’ve got on Fire On Your Head two previous guests, together on the same show. Too much podcast for one podcast, if you ask me. Join us as FIRE School of Ministry teacher Brian Parkman, Joel Crumpton and Steve Bremner discuss some issues related to faith, healing, and receiving from God, and how we have the sure written word of faith and don’t need special “rhema words” from God about every decision we make. Joel and Brian both share things they claim took them over twenty years to lea...

Join us again as I (Steve) talk with missionary Mark Burgess about the necessity of discipleship, but also the practicalities. An important point that seemed to be emphasized is that you influence and teach people in your area of influence, and should not exclude yourself from straightforward commands of Jesus Christ just because you’re not a “clergy member” or pastor. We are ALL called to make disciples! Is the church service the most important thing a pastor should be focused on? What about hi...

Join us this week as Brian Parkman, Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner discuss who we are in Christ, and just what kinds of things were accomplished at the cross that are now ours to walk out. You might want to listen to this one over a few times, as we cover lots of good points and Scriptures, and seek to help each other understand we don't need to twist God's arm in prayer to do certain things. You will find this to be a very refreshing conversation. Enjoy!

This week we change gears again and interview Mark Burgess. Mark and his wife Anna and kids have been living in Peru for a few years now, and currently are responsible for upwards of 70 people actively being discipled in their cell churches in Chorillos, located on the Pacific coast of Peru. We talk about what it is to be making disciples and building missional communities, and why the Great Commission is not just a call to make converts, but disciples. Are you multiplying yourself into other pe...

This week we continue our discussion on speaking in tongues, this time with returning guest Brian Parkman. Brian's a teacher at the FIRE School of Ministry , specializing in this very topic. This week we cover the purpose of speaking and praying in tongues, and why you don't want to miss out on this as just "one" of many Spiritual gifts. We also discuss the nature of personal edification and corporate prophesying. Join us and subscribe, as this is the first half of our interview/discussion with ...

This week Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner try to cover the subject of speaking in tongues , but this time from the angle of asking specifically if speaking in tongues the initial evidence of Spirit Baptism? Steve says yes, pretty much always, while Dave says almost always, and take it from there basically and politely sort through our differences in a way that hopefully you will enjoy. We cover the usual passages this topic elicits, and look today in depth at Acts chapters 2, 8, 10, 15, and 19 mo...

This week Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner sit down to talk about something burning in our hearts, but wind up having a spontaneous discussion on idolatry, and what that looks like in our society culture. Do you have anything you're setting up in your life "beside" or "near" the altar of God that is taking up your focus and time, in actuality AWAY from God? Do you have any seemingly holy and right ingredients you're adding TO the Gospel's power in your life, that are actually evil and subverting t...
