We are headed in the wrong direction! In this episode, we continue the con...

Listen to a fun Q/A style discussion where a few MAPS Global staff pick R.A. Martinez's brain for answers to a variety of questions. Every Tuesday, he jumps on his Instagram story (@r.a.martinez) and takes questions from anyone who has questions they just can't seem to get answered. We compiled a few of our favorite questions from those Tuesdays Q/A's to get answered in this podcast discussion. We...

Patrick Currie, founder of Jajeh Leadership Group, returns to the podcast to discuss another round on Self-Awareness! R.A. Martinez and Patrick start by defining "self-awareness" by identifying our tendencies, patterns, actions, consequences, and the reality we create around us. Then we take a turn to discuss the pitfalls in the modern self improvement trends. The heart of all of our energy toward...

The nation of Israel, which hosts more Christian visitors every year than any other nation, is still classified as an unreached nation. Many who say they "support" Israel are often lured by a sentimental support that does not seriously consider the condition of Israel languishing without a witness of the gospel. The apparent disconnect has caused much confusion in the Body of Christ over what to d...

In Christ, God has reconciled our history and is using it to launch us into our destiny. Satan is sowing seeds to try to steal, stall it out and supplant it with regret, bitterness and jealousy. In the third episode of the Destiny Destroyers series, R.A. Martinez explores what might be the most destructive of the three Destiny Destroyers: Jealousy. From Cain and Abel until now, jealousy has been f...

In Christ, God has reconciled our history and is using it to launch us into our destiny. Satan is sowing seeds to try to steal, stall it out and supplant it with regret, bitterness and jealousy. It's time to renounce regret, uproot bitterness and refuse jealousy!

The Father has a glorious destiny for all those in Jesus. He is shaping us into whole hearted lovers of God, conforming us into the image of His Son and inviting us into fruit bearing assignments that will bring Him much glory on the earth. Satan is working to sow seeds in our lives that to steal, stall out, and minimize that destiny.    In the first episode in this Destiny Destroyers series, R.A....

We sat down with R.A. Martinez to try to answer the questions we have been receiving around politics and prophecy. It turned into a two-hour conversation about what prophecy is, what it isn't, how to test prophecy, and what is a false prophet.    This episode is the second hour of that conversation on how we weigh and test prophecy and how prophecy should be particularly handled when it comes to p...

There is only one name that the Church is supposed to make great among the nations, the name of Jesus. Before His ascension, Jesus gave His disciples a commission that was rooted in His infinite desire for mankind and backed by the authority that was given to Him through the finished work of the cross. This commission would come to define, in this age, the mandate of the global Church. It is calle...

In this episode, R.A. Martinez sits down with us to tackle the subject of "speaking in tongues," a common expression in the Charismatic and Pentecostal movements; many of us have heard of it or maybe even practice it in part but have never heard it explained. Is there a difference between "speaking in tongues" and "praying in the Spirit"? We ask R.A. about some traditional ideas around "speaking i...

Many across the Body of Christ are practicing the discipline of fasting as we begin this new year. R.A. Martinez and our guest take on the topic of New Testament fasting: what it is and what it isn't. It's not the WHAT of fasting that makes it effective, it is the WHY of fasting and the WHO you are encountering while you fast. Enjoy! 

Happy New Year! As we begin 2021, we look back to a message from R.A. Martinez titled "Grace and Peace" from the sermon series "The Man Among the Lampstands." We walked through Revelation chapter 1 during the fall of 2020 at our MAPS Family Gatherings (Sunday Service). We are convinced that the most important man for the church to have her eyes on is not the man in the White House: it is the Man a...

Enjoy this fifteen-minute clip that was cut for time from our last episode (56: Be Like Barnabas).

In this episode, we revisit one of our favorite characters in the New Testament! R.A. Martinez takes a fresh look at Barnabas and the offering that changed history. Supernatural giving carries the seeds of divine destiny. As 2020 comes to an end, let's all resolve to be like Barnabas. 

There is a throne in the tabernacle. There was one in David's day. There is one in our day. There will be one forever in the age to come. This is the second part of a two-part series on the Tabernacle of David.

In this episode, we listen to a sermon from R.A.Martinez entitled, "Rule In The Midst Of Your Enemies" taken from a recent regional gathering hosted at our MAPS Global Missions Base. R.A. walks through Psalm chapter 2 and Psalm chapter 110 as the "prayer manual" for the New Testament church.

In this episode, R.A.Martinez sits down with a few of our staff members to offer his thoughts on how we are to hold our hearts in the midst of the current political climate. Many believers are asking if and how we are to engage in the political conversation in America. This is an issue that cannot be answered in 140 characters; it must be sought out in the place of prayer and soaked in the word of...

In this episode, we sit down with MAPS Global's Vice President of Care & Development, Chris Carter, to discuss his thoughts on navigating change. Change is an inevitable part of life both in the big and in the small; how we navigate it can determine whether we grow and mature or whether we get stuck and stunted. R.A. Martinez and Chris attempt to answer the question, "What is change and how can I...
