Fire On Your Head

In this special episode, I join Josh Khachadourian on the Raising the Standard podcast for a high-impact conversation on calling, clarity, and building Kingdom authority through your message . If you feel a pull to write a book, launch a program, grow your platform, or create content that serves others—this conversation will speak directly to you. Josh and I unpack the process of moving from confu...

The picture used for this episode's publicity image or cover, depending on where you're seeing it, comes from an attempt to use AI to generate an image for me. Using a photograph of a matapalo, or strangler fig in English, known for its distinctive characteristic of enveloping and ultimately overpowering its host, as a metaphorical foundation, I asked DALL-E 3 to craft an image with the following...

This week's episode is a preamble to and a chapter of my latest narration project, Ever-Increasing Faith by Smith Wigglesworth, specifically the chapter  What It Means to Be Full of the Spirit,  You can order the whole audiobook almost anywhere you get audiobooks, such as  Audible , Kobo , Google Play , Spotify, etc...  BUT for a limited time depending on when you listen to this episode, you can O...

Check out my audiobooks playlist on Soundcloud and IF you're on there, make sure to follow me if you want to be notified of new samples and when new audiobooks I've narrat...

Does the Bible teach there will be a final end-time revival right before the return of Christ? Are college campus revivals a sign we're living in the last of the last days before the Lord's return? What is the Mark of the Beast? Should we cancel dentists? This week I talk with J.D. King, author of The Beast of Revelation: Unraveling the Mystery (and audiobook narrated by yours truly -- get it on A...

This week I got to talk to a long time friend I've kept in touch with over the years since we both attended Bible School, albeit having both gone on way different albeit similar journeys. Kris Bennett was the one who answered the phone when I called FIRE School of Ministry in the summer of 2001 regarding the status of my application to the school.  After all these years we're finally having a reco...

This week I got to sit down over Zoom and talk to my first French Canadian guest, Sebastien Richard.  He's the author of several books, including I Did It All For You: An Intimate Letter from Jesus and the founder of The Thriving on Purpose Academy, which includes discipleship courses but also Kingdom Writing courses.  We talked about our similar experiences growing up in Canada before the turn of...

We finally have a new interview on the podcast, and it's with someone I would have had on the show earlier had I actually been podcasting in the last three years.  Welcome J.D. King.  This show is still called 'fire on your head', and we're all about spreading the fire of the Gospel to as many as we can with our sphere of influence and with our resources and to teach and train disciples to do the...

The first full episode of the podcast in the 2020s. Not much of a description for this one, you'll have to listen to hear what I update about. Links I mentioned: World Outreach Center - The Bremners Our family/ministry newsletter sign up .

This week I was a guest on a podcast geared toward pastors and the tech people who work with churches and ministries. Talk about a niche audience.  Again, KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE ;)  I was invited to talk about book writing and whether it would behoove pastors to create a book since most of them are already crafting weekly messages for a local audience, so why not a broader one through their writing? W...

Recently I was interviewed by Eric Nevins on his show Halfway There, thanks to another mutual friend connecting us. Here's the description from Eric's show: Today, Steve shares his journey from a conservative denomination to a charismatic one. You'll hear his heart to see God and be inspired by his following the next right step even as it led him around the world. Steve currently has an online bus...

I tackle a couple of world events. I say a "couple", though it's true, but I spend more time disproportionately focused on the situation of John Allen Chau, the missionary who was killed by The Sentinelese tribe on the North Sentinel Island off the coast of India.    I felt like I needed to say something and offer my perspective, hoping that my slant is unique not just because I'm also a missionar...

I got to be interviewed by  Ryan J. Rhoades, founder of Reformation Designs  this past weekend. He does a weekly FB live interview series on the subject of branding. We talked about writing and publishing books, of course. This is the raw file, unedited, so there were a few glitches, and you hear me say um and uh a lot more than normal as a result.  We covered a lot, but if you're ready to soak in...

Derek Snook, self-described son of a Baptist minister and entrepeneur joins me to discuss his recent book,  The Definition of Success: What Living Homeless Can Teach You . He tells me what was intended as a one-night experiment lasted a year, and years later he has decided to publish a book about how this experience had an impact on him and what he learned from it, including a well-paying temp age...

Dr. Brian Simmons, lead translator for The Passion Translation of the Bible joins me this week for an insightful interview and discussion.  In this episode we cover: How he handles peoples' criticism that he's a "lone ranger" translating the Bible; and how he learns to listen to critics in case God is speaking to him through them Epiphanies he had while discovering the appropriate words in the tex...

Here's an 18-minute clip from the audiobook version of What's God Really Like? Unique Insights into His Fascinating Personality .  Get the full audiobook at https://www.stevebremner.com/sjbook  or on Amazon at this link .  Enjoy!

Florida State Representative Kimberly Daniels and pastor of Spoken Word Ministries church in North and South Florida joins us this week to discuss her brand new book  Breaking the Power of Familiar Spirits: How to Deal with Demonic Conspiracies from Charisma House. We discuss: Her background including before she came to Christ and was bound by drugs How she got into politics, first as a council me...

I recorded an impromptu episode a couple of nights ago, rather spontaneously and share some of my thoughts and things I've recently learned about the Day of Pentecost. If you're a Bible detail geek like me, you'll be just as fascinated to reflect on the times and seasons of the Lord and patterns in Scripture. Such as the things we glean about Pentecost by looking at just what the people of God wer...

Dr. Michael L. Brown joins me again, this time to talk about his newest book, P laying With Holy Fire . It was a privilege and an honor to have him back on the show again.  We discuss some of the excesses and abuses that plague the charismatic movement and Pentecostal church, as well as other aspects of the abuse of funds and "fame" of some preachers, all in a gracious tone, without calling anybod...

We talk about seeing in the spiritual realm in this episode of the podcast with Blake Healy, author of The Veil .  Ministry has been a foundational part of Blake's life from the very beginning. He grew up as a missionary kid, living throughout different parts of Western Europe. He got involved in the prophetic ministry at the age of twelve and started serving on prophetic teams when he was thirtee...

We misunderstand the difference between the God who is presented in the Old Testament and the seemingly contradictory one we see in the New Testament.  Today's guest tells us that there are aspects of God's personality we haven't even begun to tap into! How often do you think of God's artistry, creativity and ... humility. Wait, God is humble? Yes, he's the epitome of humility! Join me this week a...

Ever wonder what causes some people who've lost a limb to feel phantom pains as though they still had that limb? Or what makes some people want to cut off their own leg? Ever wonder how a really handsome guy or a stunningly beautiful woman could have horribly low self-esteem and believe themselves to be ugly? I'll give you a common denominator: it's all in the mind. This week I discuss a few of th...

Lovesick: the latest audiobook I was privileged to narrate for Eric Gilmour . This makes my fourth one, and I'm not saying this just to promote it, but it's hands down my favorite of his so far — and I've read all of them but one. I don't know whether it's because of the content, or the fact that every time I record an audiobook for Eric I feel the presence of God strongly in my recording studio,...

Just a quick FB Live I did a few weeks ago but hadn't had the time to edit into an audio podcast. I share some quick insights regarding paying the price, whatever that may be for us individually, when we have a vision or an image we can latch on to.  The writer of Hebrews says of Jesus "...for the joy set before him, endured the cross." I contrast this with looking at the behavior and actions of t...

Sorry for the poor sound quality for this episode. I tried doing my first Facebook Live podcast the other night, and this is the audio from the video. I cleaned it up as best as I could but it's not as crisp and clean sounding as normal. Anyway, I share a funny or confusing testimony about having had my wallet stolen, and then some thoughts on 2 Samuel 7:3-16 when God spoke to David about why he w...
