Episode Notes I had the pleasure of recently being interviewed by Jeromy from Lantern Media & Ministry regarding evangelism. Join us in this packed discussion where we talk about the state of evangelism in modern America, who it's for, why it's important and how to get started! Check out Jeromy's Ministry
Episode Notes Balaam wanted something, and even though he pretended to be holy in speech, have good intent, and a desire for God's will, he only took on this appearance for his own agenda. He believed he could use God to get what he wants. While thinking, he was going to use God, God instead used Balaam. Instead of cursing Israel like Balaam desired, he ends up speaking some of the greatest blessings over Israel! We may say we're nothing like Balaam. But how often have we twisted God's word for ...
Episode Notes Have you ever thought you were following God, only to end up in a dry place? Even though you were sure you heard His voice, now you're doubting. "Did I hear wrong? Did I sin? Did God forsake me? God couldn't have possibly led me here!" But what if what you're facing is a test: And how you respond in your next move will either yield blessing or curse for you. Will you trust God for a miracle of Living Water, even though it's dry right now? Or will you complain? It's easy to act godl...
A survey by Barna-Group reports that 47% of practicing Christian millennials agree at least somewhat that it is wrong to share one’s personal beliefs with someone of a different faith in hopes that they will one day share the same faith. This shocking statistic is a part of a larger cultural shift away from tolerance. As the world around us grows more intolerant of opinions that are different, and as people are more and more greatly offended each day by opposing views, Christians are finding it ...
Episode Notes What is your heartstyle? The Pharisees in Yeshua's day had a large flaw: They were "clean" in their presentation, yet their hearts were evil. This compromise of men is still very much alive today, even among believers. Has our movements of clean eating, commandment keeping believers sometimes become more focused on the outward lifestyle, neglecting the inward heartstyle? Perhaps, instead of trying to first fix an outward appearance, we should work from the inside-out, focusing on a...
Episode Notes Are you His Bride? Will you water every camel and follow Eliezer back to a foreign land like Rebecca did for her bridegroom? It is the season for an outpouring of God's Spirit more than ever. The Holy Spirit has descended upon the Earth to gather the Bride of Christ, test her heart, adorn her, and lead her to her Bridegroom. Many are living in the gift of Truth given at the first Pentecost; or the Gift of Spirit given at the second. But His bride will be equally yoked, and will wal...
Episode Notes This year, I got COVID! When I did, I completely lost my sense of taste, and the Father spoke to me about it. He is calling a new breed of believer: Those who will be the salt of the Earth, never losing their flavor! Are you the type of person that people want to taste like or be around, because of the attraction of the Holy Spirit? We must taste different from the world - not lukewarm or compromising - but full of love and flavor.
Episode Notes What's the real reason Jonah ran? Sometimes it's not just about running from a calling, but running from a people you don't truly want to see reached - because they're unclean, they're unrighteous and most undeserving. Jonah thought of himself as more holy, more righteous and more deserving than Nineveh. Since he saw himself as better, he decided to ignore God's call. Ironically, Jonah would end up in the same place as the sins of that unclean people. The story of Jonah may just be...
Episode Notes Raising kids is hard as it is. And now many are falling away from the faith as they grow up. But why? While there are many reasons, and it certainly isn't always the fault of parents, sometimes it is, and sometimes the reason is apparent: Whether the gospel truly is preached and lived, or whether something else is.
Episode Notes When you study the greatest miracles of the Bible, you discover a pattern: Most of them took place between people with great disunity. Whether it's Jesus & the Samaritans, Peter & Cornelius or even the upper room of Acts 2. Holy Spirit is unifying, destroying the barriers of worldly disunity, and was sent to reverse the curse. If we're willing to go where and to whom Jesus went, we may see what Jesus saw!
Episode Notes As a teenager, PD dropped to his knees asking God for the Truth, and God opened his eyes - exposing man-made tradition and revealing truth. But as the years went on, PD realized his heart didn't have the love of Yeshua, nor did his life manifest the wonders of God he read about in the Bible. Finally, he landed on his knees again asking God for His Spirit. What would happen next would radically change PD's life forever and send him on a journey to proclaim the gospel to nations and ...
Episode Notes I was 8 years old when God turned my life upside down. I had spent my early childhood years in a very normal, non-denominational Christian church. One day, the Father revealed to my mom that the so-called "Jewish Feast Days" were actually all pointing towards Jesus. This began our journey of surrendering everything that had previously made sense to step into the unknown. As a child, I was mostly just a passenger on this journey, and I struggled with the changes at first. But at the...
Episode Notes The world is really good at telling us what we're NOT good at! Many of us feel we have weaknesses, weaknesses so large they're keeping us from serving God the way we want to. But as for many things in God's Kingdom, the concept of "Strengths & Weaknesses" is upside down. In God's Kingdom, your weakness has become your most prized possession. In this teaching, we'll discover why that is, and how you can be free from the bondage keeping you back.
Episode Notes Whenever we talk to others about God, one of the main questions they will ask is, why is Jesus the Way? There are hundreds of religions! What makes yours special? Many have mistakenly believed the lie that there is no sure way to know, that there is insufficient evidence for The Way. But God has left evidence! Join me as we walk through some of the evidence God has left for us, so you may be equipped to bring Yeshua to the whole world, or, if you don't yet know Him, to discover Him...
Episode Notes One of the questions each of us will ask ourselves is: Does it really matter if there is a God? If He exists, should that have some impact on how I live my life? Often these questions are avoided, for it seems easier to just pretend like He doesn't exist, even if it means being intellectually dishonest with ourselves. We are sometimes led by our own motives regarding what we choose to believe, instead of what is true. In this video, let's dive deep into the question of whether ther...
Episode Notes The problem with the Great Commission is not that people don't know what it is, as much as that we just aren't good at doing it. Being a good witness is not easy, but it does bring freedom. In this short video, we address how to be a witness of the love of God to everyone you meet. Let it be the Great Commission of your life and not the Great Omission.
Episode Notes Not a house of great teaching, a house of great dancing, or even a house of great miracles. But a house of prayer for all nations. Likewise, Yeshua called us to become stones making up that House of Prayer. But why is it so important and what does it practically mean?
The Crucifixion story is riddled with pictures of man's need for a savior, yet the pervasive belief that we don't need one. Men have their plans, their own "messiahs", but none of it solves the true problem of separation from God. It was there where Barnabas was chosen, Judas betrayed Yeshua, and Israel took pleasure in their murder. But this terrible story on the surface would start restoring the world to the garden that was once lost. And that fruit which Adam and Judas ate of, we would develo...
Episode Notes Multitudes of Christians are returning to the Biblical feasts such as Passover this year! But wait, is circumcision required to celebrate the feast? When we discover what the Bible says, we might also stumble into something AMAZING Yeshua said and did about celebrating this feast. Have a blessed upcoming Passover!
Is it the American Dream, or can it become a Spiritual Drought? A uniquely South African perspective on American Christianity.
Episode Notes You know the Father, you know the Son, but do you know the Holy Spirit? Join PD and Nathan as they discuss the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, and where God is taking His body today.
Episode Notes The story of Yeshua placing mud on the blind man's eyes fulfilled something that started long before the first century: God's encounter with Moses at the burning bush. Why did Yeshua place mud on the blind man's eyes? Reading between the lines, we can discover one of the reasons that teach us about His divinity & His power, especially in our weakness.
Episode Notes Women have been oppressed, taken advantage of, and even limited in Kingdom work throughout history and even into today. But setting aside worldly culture and religious tradition, what does the Bible actually teach regarding the value and role of women in ministry and gospel work? Join me and David Wilber in this lively discussion regarding God's will for women. Get David's book, "Is God A Misogynist?" here: https://amzn.to/3qD5txW David's Website: https://davidwilber.com/...
Episode Notes Valentines Day, Hollywood, and so many things in culture revolve around relationships. We are born, we go to school, we get a job, we marry, we get kids, we pass away one day, mission accomplished. And while this is perhaps a normal path for most, we sometimes act like it is the only acceptable path. We even pressure those around us to get married, with good intentions. But anyone who doesn't get married naturally starts feeling something is wrong with them. Is this the only biblic...
Episode Notes In life, numerous times we will be faced with trial. In those moments, the mind becomes a battleground and we have thoughts coming from all angles. How you audit these thoughts, and what you end up believing will lead your actions. Which Kingdom will you choose? What report will you believe?
After the world was flooded, God promised to never flood the world again and gave the rainbow as the sign of that promise. But why the rainbow? The rainbow itself communicates the true depths and beauty of God's promise! Unlike our childhood dreams of tangible rainbows with treasures at the end of them, rainbows are just reflections of light that are perceived by the eye. Rainbows don't exist without people to look upon them. As each person sees their "own" unique rainbow reflection (depending o...
Episode Notes In Luke 24:49 , Yeshua prophesied that we would be "clothed with power from on high". But what does the Bible teach on how we can be "plugged in" to God's power for it to flow from our lives, to bring freedom to the world around us?
Episode Notes God expects us to "love your neighbor as yourself", but how do we do that if we don't even like them? There are people we don't like, there are enemies, there are those who do us wrong. So how do we love them when we feel no love towards them to begin with? When we are faced with our feelings, we can be led by them away from obeying Christ. But love is so much more than the feelings Hollywood would make us believe love is limited to. Love is action.
Episode Notes Join PD & Nathan Harmon on this exclusive interview regarding what they believe the Father is doing with His Holy Spirit - to clothe His body with power from on high! But how do we follow in the steps Father ordained for us to get there? We hope this interview blesses you!
