Life Around "The Fire"

Send us Fan Mail God has provided for us a way of Life that is extemely powerful and full of love. We are held back from living His Way of Life by getting sidetracked with regrets, disclaimers, excuses, and/or procrastinations. Being frre from those things opens up a lot of space that can be filled with faith. Faith is the conductor and conduit through which God manifests and releases the glory of...

Send us Fan Mail We're taking a brief detour from part 2 of our series on Ephesian chapter 3. Sometimes it's important for us to let other people know that we are going through a hard time ... even if you're a leader. In fact, if you're a leader it's more important for you to model how to listen to a person who is saying they are struggling as well as at times telling thos...

Send us Fan Mail "What if"? "But ..."! "If only ..." "I'm not trying to say ..." "I don't want you to think ..." " I can't speak for them but I ..." Regrets and diclaimers ...  How much free space would I have in my inner life if I got rid of regrets and disclaimers. For those of us who are born-again ... recipients of new...

Send us Fan Mail Life is not lived in a sterile environment. The Scriptures weren't written in a sterile, ivory , tower. Life is lived in the "real world". The Scriptures were written in the "real world". Supernatural Life can be expressed through us right now, really. Let's be real people with real supernatural life and power flowing through us into a "real worl...

Send us Fan Mail Realizing we have a new access to new ways of doing things because of being transformed through the new birth into citizenship of God's Kingdom can take a while for it to actually sink in. The reality that I am a new creation by the Life transformation that transpired as I entered into covenant with Yeshu'a is divine and mind expanding. Like we said, it takes a while for...

Send us Fan Mail Discovering the spiritual power found in our identity in Christ is an amazing reality to embrace. Living a sub-standard exhistance and calling it normal is so often a far cry from who were really are designed to become even more. Many of us have lived in the dark or have been held down for various reasons as it pertains to knowing and living in the power of resurrection life now....

Send us Fan Mail An Evangelist someone who proclaims news. An Evangelist is not a "Super Christian" or "Celebrity Spokesman" An Evangelist is also someone who brings the Truth and the Good News of God and His Kingdom. "Sister" Sheila will be presenting why and how that is necessary and relevant to the world which we live in today. Part 2 of this 2 part series involves...

Send us Fan Mail Power Evangelism ... Once you've acknowledged that miracles, signs, and wonders are still some of the ways God demonstates the reality of Who He is, then evangelism without that type of power is like pushing a car on ones own energy vs it being super-powered with an energy source that is able to cause your vehicle to perform far beyond the limitations of your own human streng...

Send us Fan Mail (Editors note: Tracy inadvertantly used the phrase "grace gifts" as found in Romans 12 ... He wanted y'all to know that he made a mistake  in using  that phrase in the context of Ephesians 4 ... woopsi, you can all lay down your stones now, he's not a false teacher or prophet ... LoL). Who am I and where did I come from. Every "Prophet" has that quest...

Send us Fan Mail I love the fact that one of the truest signs of spiritual maturity is no longer having the need to be recognized or getting upset if someone else got more attention and credit for a job you did. Being spiritually mature as a community of Christians involves each of us  daily crucifying our need to be an independent, rugged, individualist. We don't need Supermen or Lone Ranger...

Send us Fan Mail Holding unforgiveness and bitterness in our hearts is a  lethal combination across the board ... relationships suffer, health is affected, spiritual  life withers, mental well-being deteriorates,  families seprate, and communities war against each other , etc. Forgiveness brings about "sozo";  total healing in all the areas mentioned above. Dr Bill opens up with some per...

Send us Fan Mail The word/name "Teacher" dials up a variety of images for many of us ranging from Kindergarden - PhD. What is  a "Teacher" as defined in Scripture? Why do we need one/them? Dr Bill Hurst is a great person and prime example to have in the studio to help us unpack the title and function of Teacher as it pertains to us growing up before we grow old. Support the sho...

Send us Fan Mail If a picture is worth a thousand words how many words is a story worth? There's something refreshing about hearing unsripted interviews being conducted by a skillful interviewer and a uniquely gifted interviewee (sometimes leaving that person feeling awkward and a bit shy ... that's what makes it "real"and "relatable"). Life rarely comes with a script...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone has a story to tell about their life. Some folks are good at drawing that story out. Lonnie Lane is one of those people. She has years of experience in teaching, writing, and interviewing people from around the world. She's good at what she does. She took me, your garden variety guy, and drew things out of me that actually carry some meaning and are fun to listen to....

Send us Fan Mail I love sincerity. I don't have any appetite for hypocrisy ... even though I've been a hypocrite. I just got tired of having two minds/ways of living ... one mind was for what I wanted people to see and the other mind was for how I really was as a person when no one elsle was around. There's something about "being real" that is both freeing and refreshing....

Is this going to be religious or some wild-eyed emotional fluff? The answer is, No. Is it going to be informative, inspirational, and applicable? Yes.

Send us Fan Mail Learning to have true, intimate, and eternal relationships with God and with one another is at the core of the all covenants God has ever cut with mankind. The New Covenant/Testament in the blood and body of Jesus is the crowning expression of God's desire to live in love and peaceful harmony with us eternally and for us to enjoy that same love and unity with one another. We...

Send us Fan Mail To walk strong and live in the love of God is not only a nice thought it's the best way to both live and be. In Him we live and move a have our being. Being made aware of all of the things that are available to us is a necessary understanding and practice that  when demonstrated in wisdom helps us look corporately at hard situations and learn how to resolve them together.  Su...

Send us Fan Mail Insecurity along with feelings of rejection and uncertainty create an air around a person that seems to invite the very things they're afraid of. Getting left out and overlooked with those sickening feelings of self-doubt will suck the countenance of life right off a person's face. Intimidation and unworthiness creep only to catch in your throat while you are  talking or...

Send us Fan Mail Wouldn't it be strange if one of the sweaty, work handkerchiefs taken from the Apostle Paul that were later placed upon a sick person who got healed  could talk? What would be even more bizarre is if that same talking handkerchief said, "Did you see how I healed that person with my supernatural powers?" I realize how simplistic that sounds. That's exactly why I...

Send us Fan Mail When do we get to do "the stuff" ,,, a guy once asked an old "church member"? The old member asked, "What stuff"? "You know, raise the dead, heal the sick, cast out demons ... you know, the stuff Jesus did", the "unchurched" young guy said. "Oh, we don't believe in doing that anymore. We just study about it and sing some...
