Send us Fan Mail When we actually take God at His Word and do what He says He will literally fulfill all of His promises to us. We function at our highest level when we receive the power of God  to do what was previously impossible to accomplish on our own strength. Amazing... we are created to walk in the power of the resurrection from the dead... at least a part of it, right now. It's a for...

Send us Fan Mail What do you do around people who are religious "know-it-alls"? How does a person handle a chaotic setting? How can you help a person with a debilitating affliction? Jesus is the best person to ask if you have questions about why and how He does stuff. Jesus loves the little children... Support the show Loving Yeshua/Jesus, Loving people... Come as you are and you will be...

Send us Fan Mail We are living in a time when world events are becoming more intense... much like the labor pains a woman feels just before finally giving birth to her new born child. The thing about life is it feels so so daily and yet at the same time so amazingly real. The way many of us understand some things about God are going to be experiencing a radical shift and a total life tranforming e...

Send us Fan Mail This is an hour in world history in which all of us who are alive will be witnessing the greatest display of God's Glory to have ever touched this planet.  The return of Yeshua Hamashiach/Jesus Christ is very near.  The great and terrible day of the LORD is at hand.  Bo Yeshua Bo!  Support the show Loving Yeshua/Jesus, Loving people... Come as you are and you will be loved! ...

Send us Fan Mail ***  Editor's Note: There are varying viewpoints concerning which Mountain Jesus was Transfigured on.  We are still doing our homework on that matter in our studies of Scripture. So, please... "Eat the meat and spit out the bones" when it comes to certain aspects of interpretation. We are all learners... Thank you... Bo Yeshua Bo! SSDD... Jellyfishing... Que, Sera,...

Send us Fan Mail Who does Jesus think He is? He's got some nerve telling me I need to lay down my life and follow Him in order for me to truly find life! Just Who does He think He is? Who do you think you are? Really, just who do you think you are? The only way to truly find out is by finding your real identity which is securely held in the Heart of Jesus. So, follow Him and you will find you...

Send us Fan Mail It can be challenging, but, don't assume anything and by no means take the bait of "the what if's"! We are all different and assimilate things differently. We need God's Heart,  Mind, and Word in us so that we can navigate through the various pitfalls in life just like Jesus did in the Way He went about reveling things. He has called and chosen us to both...

Send us Fan Mail Crowds of people are both interesting and at times unpredictable. It takes a very secure and confident person to manage a crowd. Without true authority and power managing a crowd of people can be like trying to coral a herd of cats. Jesus knows how to handle any type of crowd. For the record, crowds were never the litmus test of success in the mind of Christ. His heart was focused...

Send us Fan Mail Growing up as "Finn-Lander" in Hibbing, Mn. back in the 50's, 60's & 70's was uncomfortable to say the least. It was predudice envitonment. It was ethnically and racially a highly prejudice community... even though it was 99 percent Caucasian (and I am Caucasian). People can come up with the most bizarre reason to be prejudice and divisive. However, Je...

Send us Fan Mail *** EDITOR'S NOTE: A MISTAKE WAS MADE IN PROVIDING THE SCRIPTURE PASSAGE IN THE FIRST PART OF THIS EPISODE. tHE PASSAGE SHOULD BE MARK CHAPTER 7:1-23 NOT LIKE 7:1-23. WOOPSI... AT LEAST WE KNOW WE MADE A MISTAKE (LOL) If it wasn't for God being God I wouldn't believe in God. People can make God look like Somebody He isn't. They try to make God into Who and What...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when the party is over? I remember one time after a two week party  I had thrown. The let down after everyone left was totally depressing. I was broke, hungover, and in trouble. What happens after we have one of those really great times with God? How do we live out the remainder of life once the initial party is over? Let's take a look at some options for us to c...

Send us Fan Mail God gives us Himself when we invite Him into our lives. We give Him all of who we are. He, with us, become the internal strength necessary not only to withstand but to overcome any and all of life's external presures! We can "make shalom" the atmosphere both in us and around us as we live life together with God and in loving unity with one another. We don't hav...

Send us Fan Mail Having pupose and clarity in life creates an atmosphere of confidence in and around us. Uncertainty and lack of focus tend to lead to insecurity. Having insecurity is like bleeding in the water that is surrounded by sharks. There are people who prey upon insecure people. They get a sense of power and control from using and abusing insecure people. If you want to stop being used an...

Send us Fan Mail Rejection and jealousy go hand in hand. Jealous people are prone to reject others out of fear of being upstaged. No matter how you slice it, the cuts of rejection still have the potential of hurting us inside. Rejection isn't lethal... It just feels like it sometimes. Jesus was and still is familiar with rejection. Satan is jealous of Jesus. Just because Jesus is God the Son...

Send us Fan Mail Even to this day there are times when I feel lost in a crowd. Crowds can take on a personality of their own and it's easy to get lost in it. Jesus understands that very thing. He places high value on you as an individual. He understands your value not because you are your mother's child or a member of a group. He loves you because of how He sees you for who you really ar...

Send us Fan Mail We're back...   Our caveat, "Betrayal", was an eye opening experience. Check out the previous podcast episodes to help bring you up to speed if you've been away for a minute... We're moving forward, once again,  in our look at walking with Jesus through the Gospel of Mark. One element of this walk is to have wisdom. One facet of wisdom is: "The abilit...

Send us Fan Mail Some people are addicted to drugs/alcohol. Some folks are addicted to being a manipulator and when necessary a betrayer. Some folks are addicted to the identity of being a victim.  Does it matter to know that you are not alone in your struggles in life. Yes! We all do more crazy stuff when we think we are a lost cause or the only one with this type of issue. You are not alone. Sup...

Send us Fan Mail Nobody needed to tell me I needed help. It didn't take too much intellect to see that I was a mess. What do I do with all my mess? Now that was a  whole different animal. It takes true Wisdom to provide real solutions that actually work. That's exactly when and where Jesus enters the scene... Support the show Loving Yeshua/Jesus, Loving people... Come as you are and you...

Send us Fan Mail *An editorial note : We want to make a correction in a name reference used half-way through the episode. It was initially given as the the correct name, "Esaua". A few minutes later  another name was used in the same Old Testament story.  But instead saying "Esaua"the name "Enoch" was used. "Esau" is the correct name in the Old Testament ref...

Send us Fan Mail It takes being able to see and IDENTIFY a problem to KNOW that it exists. Knowledge. Knowledge is important. But, knowing is not enough at times. It's a whole other thing to know what to do about it. Where do I go and what do I do if I've been betrayed? Where do I go and what do I do if I'm the betrayer? WISDOM is the supreme aquisition in this situation. Wisdom. Wi...

Send us Fan Mail What's the worst thing you've ever done? Would you call that thing "sinful": If was stealing a piece of candy? If was getting drunk? If was telling a lie? If was betraying someone? All sin is sin. It's not all that everything is the same. But, taken to it's full expression all sin develops or progresses into this condition known as death. The wages of...

Send us Fan Mail There's nothing like a good old fashioned betrayal to seperate the men from the boys. All kidding aside, betrayal is not only painful it is an ever present reality that we all face, faced, or will face at least once in our lifetime. What is it and what do we do about it. That's really what these next two podcast episodes are devoted to. It's a very relevant issue in...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever really betrayed anyone? I have. I betrayed a friend of mine publicly once because I secretly wanted to be viewed as someone who knew how to lead people better than he did. I embarrassed him publicly in front of his congregation. I know... what a creep! However, I thought I was actually doing the will of God. It's amazing how deceived and deceptive we can all be....

Send us Fan Mail The definition of overthinking things is not easy for me to provide because I am a recovering overthinker, so I can't quite describe it all, yet. I have been a overthinkeraholic. I hate it whein I get caught doing it. Except. Except when God shines His Light on me and I see what I am doing. He is so amazing in how He does stuff. If it doesn't have love in it , it's...
