Send us Fan Mail What happens when 3 men, who are close friends, get together who haven't seen each other in over 5 years? Trouble? It all depends on your definition of trouble.  You will find out the answer to that question when you listen to what we (the 3 friends) have to say in this podcast episode. I think it will be a pleasant surprise. Support the show Loving Yeshua/Jesus, Loving peopl...

Send us Fan Mail It doesn't take too long to see how much of the World is made up of "Persnanilty Cults". Following a "Person-alilty". Ability Person... Personality. Jesus is more than just your garden variety ego-manic personality. Jesus doesn't needs His Personality stroked. As we walk close to Jesus He will show us when the temptation to be a "cult leader&quot...

Send us Fan Mail What do people say about you behind your back? Do you want top know? Does it frighten you to know or find out? Jesus has a track record of what happens when He shows up and what people have to say about it. I'm impressed with not only hopw things took place but also how He handled each situation differently. The formula is... THERE IS NO FORMULA! THERE'S ONLY JESUS! HE I...

Send us Fan Mail Who is the I AM? What is the I AM? Is there really an I AM? We're about to find out, again! Read with us, together, the answers to those quesations and more as we look a bit more deep into the Gospel of Mark which can be found in the Bible's recording of the New Testament/Covenant.

Send us Fan Mail You can't give away what you don't have. You can only fake it for so long before you're eventually found out to be a phony. Leadership is more than being gifted. Most of true leadership involves character. Character is developed by training and practice. Leadership is not a way for insecurity people to feel important. Leadership involves being willing to eat last, s...

Send us Fan Mail We are living in times of historic proportions. We are in the earliest of days concerning God making tHis Glory and the Mighty, Loving, Power of His  Kingdom more eveident on Earth than even during the Exodus of Israel out of Egypt. Israel is going to be taking center stage globaly more and more and so is the Glory of the LORD.  Satan is being lured in, just like he was in the Gar...

Send us Fan Mail It's still hard for me to comprehend the fact that an entire German Nation came under the control of a "vibe (vibration)" when Adolf Hitler became their despot/leader. Hitler had a certain "vibe" to him. God has a "Vibe" to Him. Leaders who are equipped by God, "vibe" like God. Jesus was and is the Perfect Example. Leaders are equipped...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever worked for a really aweful 'Boss"? Have you ever been a really aweful "Boss?" What does a true leader/boss look like? What does a true leader/boss look like when things get turned upside down? To be a good leader one must first be a good follower. What leadership style are you leading with and sitting under right now? Is it healthy? Why, or why no...

Send us Fan Mail One day I heard God speak to my heart in a Way only a loving Father could, He said, "I want you to prach to me. I love it when you preach and teach about Me and My Kingdom... I want to hear you preach My Word back to Me." I was taken a back for a  moment. God wanted to hear me preach. Of course He could hear me. He is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent. Yet, He said...

Send us Fan Mail Being a leader involves pereiodically dealing with conflicts and uprisings. Divisions and disputes, even in the midst of revival, can brew and boil over during the course of time. True leaders will be part of the solution by not runnung from the conflict but addressing it head on. Being angry is different than ruling by anger. Some people use the tyranical method of excercising an...

Send us Fan Mail Without a clear vision or purpose in life we all are like jellyfish (at best). We drift around (at best). When we have a clear purpose or vision we actually accomplish great things. We perish, in many respects, without a vision.

Send us Fan Mail There is a way that seems like it is the right way to live but in the end it's proving itself to be destructive. Most of us have done at least a few things on our own power and have tried to give God credit for doing it. It always fall short of creating His Glory. God's glory is the enviroment that God creates and inhabits. God is LIGHT. In Him is no darknessd. Prayer re...

Send us Fan Mail You are in for a treat. If you've never heard Jay Slife, share, teach or preach you will not be the same. God uses this man. God is God. Jay is Jay. Jay doesn't try to be God.

Send us Fan Mail To have authority we need to be under authority. Jesus taught us that in His Word. God is our Ultimate Authority! However, He sets up structures that help us operated in the power of His Kingdom with some sense of order and responsibility. Jay Slife, an under-shepherd of Jesus, provides that under the umbrella of Free Indded Ministries. We,  in this podcast crew, answer to someone...

Send us Fan Mail Good leaders follow Jesus. Did you knpw that information creates emotion? Do you have a backbone given to you by God? What kind of leader are you?  Good leaders follow Jesus. Jesus didn't eliminate The Law of God. Jesus came to fulfill and illuminate The Law of God. He never broke or breaks The Law of God. By following Him, we don't break The Law of God. He doesn't...

Send us Fan Mail Looks can be deceiving. For reasons I will never know some people have the romantacized view that  being a leader is an impressive thing to be. Being a true leader, a servant leader is anything but impressive. It will cost you your life, all of it. True leadership is not a choice, it's a call that God chooses to give. True leadership is not us getting it by going to college a...

Send us Fan Mail I, OFTEN, have to shake my head when I hear someone say, "It must be nice being a leader. You get to do all that cool stuff. I wish I was a leader." NO YOU DON'T!!! Being a leader is like volunteering to be ugly. Please, don't get me wrong. There are aspects of leadership that have great rewards and privileges. However, they are far and few between the everyday...

Send us Fan Mail We aren't called to "attend" Jesus like He is some kind of sporting event that we attend so that we can say we really "know" the game. He calls us to "follow" Him. We get to know Him as we follow Him. "Attending" an event, even a Church event, is not equivilant to following Jesus. Good news, God is emptying the bleachers. Following Jesu...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been going through a hard time and the person you're telling out of nowhere began to "should" on you? What do I mean by "should" on you? "You "SHOULD" go over to that person and tell them that you have never liked anything about them and they can take their critical attitude and shove it." I had someone should on me up one...

Send us Fan Mail This podcast episode is unlike most other episides. It's definitely not "Your Father's Oldsmobile." It's got some rather high octane praying going on inside these four walls. If that's new to you it was new to me once. New is good as long as God is in it. Pray for the Shalom/Peace of Jeru (city of) Salem (shalom/peace... Jerusalem = City of Peace. Pra...

Send us Fan Mail W.O.R.K. is more than a four-letter word. I remember the first time I received financial support for doing work I loved to do. I loved it so much I was doing it for free. Someone once told me, "Do something that you are good at and you love to do and do it. Do it for free because you're going be doing it anyway, because you love doing it. Do it so well that someone would...
