Keeping Up With The Joneses

We recorded this on Father's day but instead of talking about our Dads we talked about celebration in general. How do you celebrate when things aren't perfect? How can you honor those that aren't perfect? What ancient Chinese proverb will Alyn make up on the spot? That and more in this week's episode.

Favor is awesome. Favor opens doors you didn't even know existed. This week we talk about what it is, how you get it, how you steward it and how to follow it. Don't worry, there's a fish taco update too and we talk Apple Watches. 

I mean seriously, who doesn't love Josh & Sarah Parsons? Following on from last week's episode on destiny, this episode we ask Josh & Sarah to tell their story of moving to Nashville, finding favor, watch their dreams die, working hard and stepping into their destiny. This is a great episode that will be an encouragement to any of you who feel "stuck".

There's accents galore. Terrible, terrible accents. AJ does a Canadian yodel while Alyn digs out old videos. This week we talk a little about the feedback we got on the podcast but mostly we talk about destiny and what it looks and feels like.

We go for our annual walk, Alyn tries to convince AJ that Mario Party 10 isn't a video game and the kids are on summer break. The topic of discussion this week is ministry schools and how they change your life. Also we answer a listener's question about how to live post-conference life.

It's our one year anniversary podcast episode. We're fresh off doing the MORE conference, we catch up on the week and reflect on podcasting for a year. AJ got a hair cut, found a way to incorporate a donut into her sermon and Alyn likes surveys. Speaking of which, we want your feedback!

Don't be confused, this isn't about getting married per se, it's more about the season we are in where people are getting married, five tips for being married, a discussion on the call and commission into prophetic ministry and ballroom dancing. For reals.

Leaders of revival for over 20 years. World travelers. Lovers of Jesus. Spiritual parents to many. This week it's our tremendous joy to ask John & Carol to retell the story of when the Holy Spirit invaded their church and what they've learnt in the years since. Also: how not to screw up an international revival.

Did you know that God speaks today through dreams? On this week's episode, our friend Sarah Jackson from Catch The Fire shares about her journey into understanding dreams and the dream interpretation process. Alyn makes a sports analogy, we talk pizza and cronuts and Sarah interprets some of our listeners' dreams.

Our good friends, Ben & Sarah Jackson are in town, so we sat them down and asked them questions about living in Toronto and how the revival there has changed their lives. We even got them to pray for a revelation of the Father's love. This is a good one.

Walking pneumonia, pre-teen tattoos and astronauts as husbands get touched on this episode. The main focus however is the #myfuturetimehop that AJ kickstarted this week. We also get to answer two listeners' questions, both on marriage.

We've known Marc for years. If you've ever heard AJ's testimony you'll have heard of a time when a prophet called her out, told her the secrets of her heart, walked through her past and told her her future. Well, yeah, that's Marc. On this week we pick his brain on how he got called into ministry, what it's like to play poker with other prophets and what he does for f...

Alyn tries to explain what tacos are. AJ's hippie nonsense actually works and MJ tries sushi for the first time. All of that plus AJ's journey into prophethood and the importance of believing what God says about you and your destiny.

We may well be the most boring people on earth based on the last week of (non) activity. Never-the-less we talk sustaining long distance relationships, Ravi Zacharias and weird milk shakes. The topic for this week? Doing what you do now while dreaming about what you want to do later.

Recorded on a beautiful sunny day (the first in many weeks), we talk about the things that bring us happiness, joy and glee. In addition: Cinderella, Apple Watch, remembering John Paul Jackson and the weekly catch up.

Paleo donuts, Champion's Road, special guests and the story of our salvation... all the ingredients for a killer podcast episode. Plus news of the MORE conference, Alyn's love of an obscure Brazilian berry and the weekly update. Boom. Done.

Lots of people have lots of different views on spiritual warfare. Given AJ just spoke at a conference this weekend on this very topic, we thought we'd throw our views into the ring too. Also covered: MJ's facial tattoo, pajamas and cronuts.

We're jet lagged, weather locked and have cabin fever. As a result we have nothing to talk about in this week's podcast. But we do have a Mario update, stories from our kids and we answer some listeners' questions.

This wasn't the easiest episode to record (technically and emotionally). Alyn's mom is dying of cancer and as her doctors had given her a few weeks to live, we flew over to Scotland to be with her and say our goodbyes. While we were eating lunch one day we plonked down a microphone and asked her for some wisdom on things like raising children, family days, salvation, death and avoiding d...

We rushed off to Scotland this past weekend and because we spent most of the weekend traveling and restraining small children we couldn't record a podcast. Fear not however; the ever awesome Lyle Phillips who was with us last week gave us so much brilliant stuff that we couldn't fit it all in. This week, we've collected the stuff we cut out due to time so you could laugh along with...

We hope your commute is long this week, or you at least have a lot of housework to do because this is the longest podcast we've made yet. It's totally not our fault. There's just too many good stories from Lyle that it was difficult to cut. Here's what you'll hear however; Lyle's transformation from drug dealer to a rescuer of children caught in sex trafficking, his f...

AJ has a fairly horrible week (don't worry, all first world problems), Alyn gives AJ a jingle challenge and we answer a question on women in ministry. The main topic is honor, what it is, how we first encountered it and how God desires for us to live in it.

Celebrating our 10 year anniversary this weekend, we talk about pulling a surprise on a prophetic wife, the highlights of being married for 10 years and an overview of touring old houses in the country. It's better than it sounds. Seriously.

We admit it, we're behind on the listener questions that you've sent in. This week we sat down and worked our way through the list we had. Get answers on fasting, the prophetic, knowing what to do next and boundaries. Also, the Nintendo Wii U has taken over the Jones household.

It's almost impossible to describe just how amazing Chris McClarney is. He's a world renowned worship leader, a gifted song writer, incredible dad and just all round great guy. On this episode we pick Chris's brain on the anointing, leading worship, his one word descriptions of the greatest worship leaders around and his fascination with Lego. Bonus: Alyn finds a spontaneous prophet...
