PATH TO ZION PODCAST
Path To Zion explores the rediscovery of the Ancient Way that has been abandoned, forgotten or simply missed (in Its fullness) by mainstream Christianity. The host, Joel Spencer, speaks from a ”Hezekiah call” to declare to the Christianity of this age that there has been a Way already carved out, ready to be walked along by any who will follow the Firstborn Of Many Brethren, Yeshua Messiah (Jesus).
(* The podcast is now also recorded in video format on Youtube @ Path To Zion Podcast.)

The Mystery Of Knowing God's Voice
How do you arrive at "knowing" what God is speaking? What is your pattern of arriving at a clear place of receiving what He is saying, however it comes? We must know and then, with discernment and humility, determine how we arrive at receiving the word of the Lord in our lives.

Part 3: Freedom and Liberty
This is the conclusion of our unearthing what biblical freedom really is. Despite the error that broad-way American Christianity teaches, there must be an exchange into the yoke of Christ. We were created to be within a yoke. Being found within the "easy yoke" of Jesus is true freedom.

Part 2: Freedom and Liberty
I continue to explore what we perceive to be freedom. I'll begin to look into the primary differences between biblical freedom and national freedom. If any of us are truly desiring to follow the teachings of Jesus more than simply being a good "Christian American", we must know the difference.

Part 1: Freedom and Liberty
Yesterday was Independence Day in this nation. As I prayed and examined the Scriptures for clarity on matters in regards to our misunderstanding of what that truly means, this short series emerged. What is freedom? What is liberty? What is independence and should we even desire it?

Miracle Grow? No.
As those who desire to live according to the things of the spirit, we cannot simply go by what we see on the surface. We must examine the soil of our lives and all of the components that went into bringing the fruit to readiness. Are we willing to labor in the field of our lives instead of seek out a quick and easy harvest? This episode discusses that examination.

"Lost" Episode: What Is Man? Reclaiming The Original Purpose Of Humanity On The Earth
(OK, so I've known for a while that there's been a "missing" part to the "What Is Man..." series from February. I finally tracked it down and decided to post it, despite it being severely out of order. I'll put it here and attempt to get it in line at a later date.) This episode was recorded as I stood in my barn, looked at the old country church next door and asked myself what the purpose of mankind, and The Church, is. What age are we even in? Who are we? I'll tackle these questions and more....

Part 5: King Hezekiah and the Second Chance People Of God (Conclusion)
This segment wraps up the series. I'll look into how I see Hezekiah and the people of Judah as all of us. There is hope for us if we remember and return, despite our generational rebellion. We'll see this in the wrap-up of King Hezekiah's life and reign.

Part 4: King Hezekiah and the Second Chance People Of God
The series continues as we examine how we have been like the people of Judah in Hezekiah's day. We too must return, remember and once again usher in worship and sacrifice unto the Lord.

Part 3: King Hezekiah and the Second Chance People Of God
In this part of the series we look at how Hezekiah had many "Messiah-esque" characteristics in how he stood in as mediator on behalf of the people. He called them out via repentance and into becoming a godly people again, rightly consecrated to approach Yahweh.

Part 2: King Hezekiah and the Second Chance People Of God
The series continues as we see how Hezekiah immediately tended to declaring the call for the land of Judah to return to the LORD. How did they respond? What does it mean for us?

Part 1: King Hezekiah and the Second Chance People Of God
Who was Hezekiah? What did he do? What was his lineage and what set him apart? Most importantly, why in the world does it matter to us? Let's find out.

Introduction: King Hezekiah and the Second Chance People Of God
I have FINALLY got around to recording the Hezekiah series that I've been talking about for weeks. I have found it to be really transformative in my life, as I strive to see myself and my household within the present-day People of God on the earth.

Rightful Demand
In this episode I share about the present demand upon my life, in response to what God has done for and in me. We must be a people who see the obligation to respond with action, that originates in our hearts of thankfulness.

Driving School
I was recently faced with my impatience (and other personal issues) as I attended driving school. This episode is a light-hearted discussion of what unfolded.

Inadequacy
Are you strong? Are you capable? Can you "do all things"? Well, you had better be sure of your source. In this episode, I discuss how our inadequacy is actually our best asset.

The Kingdom of God: What and How
I was recently asked, "Joel, what is the Kingdom of God and how do we actually 'build' it?" Today, I give a simple 2-fold response off the top of my head. We'll be looking into this in much greater detail soon, but this is an overview.

Everything Matters
Although my intention was to record some light-hearted commentary on several somewhat comical thoughts, I ended up going pretty serious pretty fast. In this episode I land primarily on the weighty responsibility of godly parenting.

Hybrid Worship
I recently heard the phrase "hybrid worship" in regards to how we as people often juggle worshiping Yahweh with worshiping other gods. This topic came up on a recent drive so I wanted to share some thoughts on the matter.

How Do You Like Being Wrong?
So... how do you like being wrong? Or even possibly considering that anything you might believe might be off. I think we could all work on having a better response. This I believe, would ultimately lead us to discovering, and walking in, more truth.

Patience... Where Are You?
If there's a biblical quality and ability that is seemingly one of the most elusive, it's patience. Our patience deficiency is much more than just a cultural issue of our day, it's a human disorder. It's my hope in this episode to challenge us all to give ourselves to become a people established in patience.

Smoke On The Altar
(Again, please remember I have a backlog of recordings to get online.) This episode was recorded the same day as the news of the Notre Dame fire broke. Within the event, I believe, are some spiritual applications that I think are worth discussing.

Ramblings
Due to travelling, I have a severe backlog of recorded files that I'm likely just going to have to sort through and throw out here. This podcast covers a multitude of things, including how the will of man is demonstrated in a child, hot wheels.... and gifting plastic flowers. Enjoy.

No Longer A "Minimum Requirement" People
In this episode I discuss several of the very limiting mindsets that we often establish in modern Christianity. I believe that if we step back and examine many of our doctrines and approaches to spiritual maturity, we tend to only seek after meeting/attaining the minimum requirement. Let's change that, shall we?

Going The Way of Cain/Competition
Some thoughts on going the way of Cain and the drive to compete. I think on this/share about this often and decided to record a few very limited views on the matter.

A very brief reflection on the forgiveness and exoneration that we have in Christ.

Part 2: What Is Faith?
Part 2 (and conclusion) of a brief, biblical answer to the question, "What is faith?" I examine the complex life of King Asa from 2 Chronicles and attempt to glean what we can from his biblical record.

Part 1: What Is Faith?
So what is faith, really? We see it all throughout the Bible. We marvel at "men of faith" and our rhetoric makes it clear that we believe that we need it, but we must begin with even knowing what it is and why we must be found in it. Part 1 of 2.

Leaving A Spiritual Heritage
This episode discusses several topics but primarily the importance of laboring into reproducing the seed of God upon the earth. We who are in Christ can enter into the active rest of literally being in, and multiplying, the lineage of Jesus.

Spiritual Maturation In The Quiet
Just some thoughts on my present spiritual condition. What is spiritual maturation and what does it even look like? May we endure when things go quiet and thereby walk disciplined, when necessary.
