Fire On Your Head

This week I was privileged to finally have Michael Dow on the show. He has spent his entire saved life in a few different types of ministires, one of which was a missional community called King's People in Charlotte, N.C. He now is apprenticing with Daniel Kolenda, of Christ For All Nations, doing massive crusade evangelism. We discuss Michael's thoughts regarding both ends of the spectrum when it...

First, I share some updates about new editions in the Kingdom of God since having recorded today's show, and developments since last week's episode. Then we get down to business and I continue some of my thoughts from last week about making disciples and seeing the Kingdom of God multiply in our local context here in Peru. On top of the testimonies, I provide a framework for how we could see reviv...

This week I share about some of the awesome ways God is bringing His Kingdom to Los Cedros, Peru, and exciting new opportunities we're making an impact on our neighbors.  Then in the last segment I share about the impact of the late Steve Hill on my life. Enjoy! Blog posts to check out that referenced in today's show: Steve Hill's impact on my life  (written shortly after hearing news of his passi...

This week we have Dr. Stephen Crosby joining us again as we discuss the hot button topic of grace. Is there a balance that people on both sides of this debate can agree on? Is a balance necessary? We discuss fruit vs roots when it comes to personal holiness and whether grace preachers and their counterparts are really hearing each other fairly.  As usual, you don't want to miss this discussion! Do...

This week we are privileged to have on the podcast Zack Hunt, author of the popular blog, The American Jesus. We discuss the origins and inspiration of The American Jesus, and how a blogger can walk the fine line of being poignant and being humorous. We also discuss the polarization that faith-based movies are causing in the Christian subculture and what should our reaction be to it. Then in the f...

This week we have Dr. Stephen Crosby back on the podcast to discuss loving our neighbors on a practical level. We've touched on this in past discussions, but spend a whole hour talking about a few benefits and challenges to meeting in house churches as opposed to 'institutional' church. We discuss what the house church movement gets wrong and what they get right.  We get talking about why some peo...

This weekend I got to be on Moody Radio's Up For Debate  program with Julie Roys . Up For Debate describes itself as "a show that seeks to equip believers to discern these debatable matters by engaging biblically with people holding diverse opinions. Each week, host Julie Roys invites two guests onto the one-hour program to defend opposing views. She also encourages listeners to call in and add th...

This week we continue our discussion with Praying Medic, author of Divine Healing Made Simple for our second of two episodes.  This week we discuss his opinion of when different healing evangelists have been arrested for "practicing medicine without a license". What exactly does that mean, and are we inadvertently doing that ourselves when we minister divine healing to the sick or hurting? Should...

This week we interview Praying Medic, the author of Divine Healing Made Simple  for our first of two episodes.  We start of chatting about blogging, and discuss how we met online which led to our guest discussing what inspired him to write his book and how long the process took him.  Why are some people not healed, and why do others who are genuinely healed sometimes lose their healing later? I th...

This week I was privileged to have on the podcast Dan Silva, a fellow blogger and author of the fairly new book, It's All About Jesus: What They Never Told You in Church .  I enjoyed talking to Dan. I've been following his site for a few years, along with his Facebook page and have enjoyed the posts and articles he's written. I have even more respect for him after hearing more about his journey fr...

There is no Christianity without experiencing God. Yet so many people admit that they have a difficult time experiencing God's presence or hearing God's voice. Why is this and how can we fix that in our own lives? This week we have Eric William Gilmour on the podcast and he passionately shares about cultivating a union with Christ and walking in such an intimacy with Him. We discuss Eric's ministr...

This week Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner catch up over skype and share some testimonies on the power of the Holy Spirit. Then, rather quickly we get around to discussing dream interpretation and "memory stones" and how easily the Holy Spirit wants to show us things and use us to minister to the world around us. We also give a brief Old Testament history lesson about why it was so devastating when...

This week we interview Art Thomas, missionary evangelist and author of the new book Spiritual Tweezers: Removing Paul's "Thorn in the Flesh" and Other False Objections to God's Will for Healing . He is also co-director of a new movie called Paid in Full: Physical Healing documentary. So, as you guessed it, we talked about divine healing, one of our favourite subjects on this podcast, but we focuse...

This week we're privileged to have as a guest Jesse Birkey, author of the book Life Resurrected: Extraordinary Miracles Through Ordinary People. Jesse shares with us several testimonies and stories that led him to write the book as well as encourage the listener that you don't need to be a special leader or pastor in order to lay hands on the sick and see the dead raised.  Jesse is also one of the...

Join me, Steve Bremner as I interview fellow healing author Joshua Greeson, author of God's Will Is Always Healing: Crushing Theological Barriers To Healing .  The two of us discuss what motivated us to write our books, including the 20 year journey that resulted in Josh's book. Here's a list of questions I asked him and we discussed:  Why can we be so certain God's will is to heal, when we may ha...

Join Steve Bremner and David Edwards as they discuss micro and macro revelations and share the things the Lord has been revealing to them out of the Word of God. Steve also shares some wedding updates. Basically just another episode where we both were on skype and got talking and recorded it not knowing where the Holy Spirit would take us.  We also pondered how come Israel refused to let God speak...

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 acq...

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.  Get a FREE copy of Heartstone before June 30th/2013 by going t...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 th...

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 f...

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? Visit audi...
