Hey, Kingdom Family! In this week’s episode, Leif and Paul share about three eras of modern missions. From the Apostle Paul, Gutenberg, and Martin Luther to David Livingstone and Joshua Project, modern missions have changed significantly over the last centuries.

Welcome, Kingdom Family! This week, we’re introducing a new series called “Heroes of Harvest.” In this episode, Leif and Paul discuss the heroes of the faith outlined in Hebrews 11. These were people who lived by faith, living full and dying empty, giving all they had to build God’s Kingdom on earth. We are invited to honor the price paid by those who have gone before us. W...

Hey Kingdom Family! In today’s episode, my spiritual son Paul Yadao and I discuss the cost of obedience and share our personal stories about Friday moments when we thought all was lost. We share how to navigate the waiting period before Sunday when resurrection life comes! Taking up the cross and following Jesus is not always easy, especially today. So, if you are hungry for more and want to...

You have an important part to play in God’s great plan! During Pentecost, the purpose of the baptism of the Holy Spirit was to initiate a “Holy go!” Acts 1:8 says, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, an in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We are all invited to be Jesus witnesses. It doesn’t matter if you are a d...

Hey Kingdom Family! I invite you to join me and my spiritual son, Paul Yadao, in Part 2 of the podcast “The Unfinished Task.” We hear Jesus’ clear invitation to go to places and cities where we will re-present Him to bring the Kingdom of God, and we see Him move in and through us. We also share how hospitality is a weapon of warfare and a key to finishing the unfinished task. Sig...

As part of this series on fulfilling the great commission and doing it with a great commandment heart, the big question is, “What is the one thing that has stopped us from fulfilling what is His last command that should be our first priority?” And that is to take the Gospel to every nation and to be able to see a community among every ethnic group in the world so that Jesus can come back. I have s...

It’s harvest time. We see in the scripture that when Jesus sent the 72 disciples in Luke 10, He sent them as lambs among wolves. Lambs are known for two things: to follow and fully depend. And that is what we need to be the harvesters in this end times: to hear and obey what the Lord of the harvest says. We are sheep among wolves, but we are the chosen ones to partner with Jesus. It’s harvest time...

This week, we’ll dive deeper into our discussion on the Samaritan Woman. In the previous podcast, we explored how her encounter with Love transformed her identity, liberating her from fear, guilt, and shame. As she drank from the Living Water, she went from thirsting for Love to becoming a source of Love, enriching her community and city. In this episode, we’ll examine the fruits borne...

We have here a beautiful story of the Samaritan woman who had an encounter with Love. We see her story as a beautiful picture of the true state of humanity looking for true identity and true love. In this conversation that she had with Jesus, He gave her the open door–an invitation to be the worshiper that the Father is seeking, and drink from the Living Water that He offers. And what happened to...

Everywhere I go, I have people coming up to me asking, “How can I find my spiritual father or mother?” or, “Would you be my spiritual father?” I have the honor of having Paul Yadao, my spiritual son, with me. We’ve just had a conversation on the topic of what healthy spiritual parenting looks like, and it is going to help you see that the Father has a calling for you to find your tribe, your famil...

One of the scripture verses in the Bible that has had an incredibly profound meaning to me is John 17:21 -26; but especially verse 26. I studied this one verse for 7 years, and it was my focus point. When Jesus said, “Father, Father, I have declared Your Name among them, and I will declare it. That the very love, Father, that You have towards Me, that love is going to be in them, and I in th...

I am living in the city of Atlanta, the place Coca-Cola was founded in 1892. And I’ve realized that in the last 132 years, that this company had a mission, and that was to bring this sweet drink into the hands of every person in the world. I have been in the jungle of Congo. I’ve been with the taxi driver in Pakistan. I have been all over the world, and they know about Coca-Cola but have never hea...

I have centered this podcast around the vision for this year, emphasizing that in 2024, it’s harvest time. As you open your eyes and observe the fields, you’ll notice that the world is ripe for the taking. When Jesus looks at the harvest, He’s prepared but seeks someone to pray, have vision, and recognize the harvester. In this podcast, I invite you to reflect on the sunset of 2023, extracting its...

“Love Your neighbor as Yourself” – Jesus. This command that Jesus gave us is one that we have all heard and memorized. Sometimes, we forget that loving your neighbors first starts with loving yourself. It’s one thing to love others you may or may not know, but quite another thing to love yourself, of which you know the deepest and darkest things. Often, we get plagued by shame and guilt from what...

If I had the time, I would take you on a journey from eternity past to eternity future. Meaning, let’s go all the way back to the beginning. Genesis 1:1 starts off by saying, “In the beginning was God.” So we see from the very first sentence that it all begins with God and ends with God. I don’t know about you, but that makes me excited. But in the middle of the two eternities, we need the proper...
