Mavericks & Misfits with Jeff Lyle

Episode 140: Money & The Mark Of The Beast The bible teaches that a man will arise at the end of the age and take control of global government. The Antichrist will be the most wicked man who ever lived upon the earth. Part of his reign will include his totalitarian control of the world’s financial markets. Yes, the Antichrist will control the system that controls all the money on the planet. For t...

Episode 139: End Of The Age Finance   We all know that we won’t be taking any of our material wealth with us when we die. Whatever we earned and bought remains here on earth once we are taken into glory. Everyone understands that. Not everyone understands, however, that we can send our wealth ahead of us. The teachings of Jesus and His apostles make it abundantly clear that we are able to store up...

Episode 138: Spirit Or Truth? We Christians are presently living in an unusual time. While the culture is becoming increasingly aggressive in advancing an anti-God agenda, the Church is beginning to see some amazing releases of awakening and revival. Local assemblies need to be adjusting and preparing for both sides of this equation. Battling against spiritual wickedness in high places needs to be...

Episode 137: Recovering The Axe Of Jesus When a young prophet lost his axe, he mourned in the presence of Elisha and begged him for supernatural intervention to recover his only tool that would get the job done. While this is an exciting story from 2nd Kings 6, this episode of Mavericks & Misfits calls us to consider a very urgent application of the crucial lessons in this story. When the Church h...

Episode 136: Discerning & Defeating False Prophets Who do you allow to speak into your life on behalf of God? None of us are without outside voices which work to shape our views of God, His Kingdom, our own identity, and our life purpose. Understanding how important these areas are…whose voice presently has your ear? Jesus and His apostles repeatedly warn us of the reality of the prevalence of fal...

Episode 135: CHURCHES: Factory Reset What kind of local church are you a part of? Who is leading you? Do things like leadership structures, spiritual gifting, personal callings, and cooperative ministry vision really make a difference? Well, if you are the average American churchgoer, your answer may be, “It doesn’t really matter.” Yet, if you place high value on God’s blueprints for His churches,...

Episode 134: What If I'm Not Really Saved Some of what we see right now happening in our churches is an evangelistic call being released by Holy Spirit to church members. Yes, that’s right: God is offering those who have sat in churches for years an opportunity to actually be born again. Because of a lack of commitment to biblical teaching on repentance and conversion, our churches are filled with...

Episode 133: Word Curses & The Spirit Of Shimei Everyone who listens to this episode of Mavericks & Misfits will have an experience with their own personal Shimei. Do you know who this is? He is one of the most despicable people in all of the Bible. He was a partner with the devil in releasing demonic word curses against King David. From this painful snapshot in David’s life, we expose six categor...

Episode 132: A Prophetic Urge To Prepare Sometimes Holy Spirit hijacks the podcast episode. Originally, Episode 132 of Mavericks & Misfits was slated to focus on the issue of spiritual warfare through word curses. Within the first three minutes of the recording, Jeff Lyle felt the wind of the Spirit moving and released a calm but VERY clear word concerning what the Church in America should prepare...

Episode 131: Kingdom Danger Zone In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, Jeff Lyle welcomes his wife, Amy, into the studio to discuss a word that God gave Amy in December of 2022. After pondering this word privately for a few weeks, Amy shared it with Jeff, and he immediately felt like the warning was for many Christians who have unwisely wandered into a danger zone that is filled with destructive...

Episode 130: Is The Local Church Still Valid Have you noticed the increase of people abandoning their commitments to local assemblies? Since Covid put local church gatherings on a temporary pause, we have discerned that many have since then seemingly concluded with the government that churches are non-essential. But is this true? Does God care if we are part of a local assembly of Christians on a...

Episode 129: The Spirit Of The Age Has Infected The Climate Of The Church It is a long title, but there was not a better way to describe what has happened to the Church in America. Jesus once rebuked two of His closest followers for not discerning what spirit they were operating in. This same rebuke is being spoken over much of the Church today. The divisive, hostile, hyper-sensitive, reactionary...

Episode 128: What God Said To Me Sometimes we feel compelled to put our latest favorite song in our playlist on continuous play. It impacts us, speaks to us, stirs us, or settles us. We just want to hear it over and over in a loop. In the late Fall of 2022, God spoke one sentence to me that startled me. It actually hurt a little at first, but I knew it was Him speaking. As weeks went on, I would h...

Episode 127: Dethroning Jealousy & Envy Jerry Bridges once wrote a book called Respectable Sins . I read it in 2010 and was both blessed and convicted by what God had the author reveal. More and more, many Christians are realizing the widening gap between the sins we publicly loathe versus the sins we seem to privately tolerate. Why are some sins horrific to us while others seem to be more… respec...

Episode 126: It Is Not Hopeless Some people were born to run marathons. Some were even born to win them. Most of us, however, prefer the short route and the quickest route from one point to another. Marathons just are not our thing, so we never enter the race. Upon the spiritual journey, we are not given a choice. The race of faith is long, and sometimes it is exhausting. We can be tempted to wond...

Episode 125: Out... But Not In Most Christians know what it feels like to be stuck for a season. The in-between moments are not always easy to understand for those who are on their personal faith-journey. Others around us seem to motor on into a life that looks very different than what we are experiencing. Where are their roadblocks, detours, and delays? Some people may no longer believe that ther...

Episode 124: What Happens When We Won't Forgive? In the days wherein Christianity has been consistently presented as a relationship solely between God and an individual, we have all but lost the concept that to be a Christian is not only to become one with God, but to become one with all other Christians. The early Christians knew nothing of a faith that could reconcile them to God but not reconci...

Episode 123: The Impossible Love The ways, works and words of Jesus are repeatedly revealed in Scripture in such a way that we feel compelled to both learn and emulate all that He says and does. Jesus’ sermons were sometimes piercing because He went into the depths of the heart instead of just dealing with our external behaviors. He doesn’t want us just to behave differently, He wants to transform...

Episode 122: Why Closed Doors? It can be a challenging thing when the zeal inside of you is not matched with opportunities outside of you. The closed-door season can become one of the most frustrating episodes in a believer’s life if we do not respond properly to it. Why would God place a desire or a calling within us, but then not give us the opportunity to fulfill that desire and calling? This e...

Episode 121: Milky: Stunted Spiritual Growth Perhaps one of the most eroding forces in the Church today is the issue of prolonged spiritual infancy and adolescence. If a fourteen-year-old was known to still be breast-feeding, we would all discern that there is something terribly wrong with both the child and his/her mother. Yet, in the Kingdom, we cannot deny the reality of multitudes of Christian...

Episdoe 120: Jeff & Amy Lyle Discuss End-Time Courage In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, Amy Lyle joins her husband, Jeff, in the studio to discuss what we need to live with courage and endurance in the end of the age. Amy is soon to launch a podcast she is co-hosting with Lauren Atkinson, and this episode informs the Mavericks & misfits audience of this new venture and what listeners can exp...

Episode 119: Four Essential Words You Must Receive   From time to time, people will ask a spiritual leader what the keys are for a victorious, satisfying life that brings glory to God. Often this type of question comes from a newer convert or from a younger Christian who is now learning how to walk out their own faith. The question itself is GOOD because it indicates spiritual hunger. What may be...

Episode 118: Beating Bitterness & Overcoming Offense   Here is something that few will tell you: God will allow things in your life that are potentially offensive and embittering. That is right – God will permit injustice, mistreatment, betrayal, abandonment, and denial into the lives of His children. And He does so on purpose!   In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, we unpack one of the strange...

Episode 117: Getting Promoted One of the intentional ways in which God moves involves Him facilitating an internal promotion within the Christian’s spirit while not yet offering an external circumstance that matches it. God works and moves within His children but does not always immediately provide an outlet for all that good to flow. It is not uncommon in Scripture to find someone who is being bl...

Episode 116: Your Window Of Opportunity It is important that all of grasp some level of discernment about how God is presently moving among His people, and also what He is preparing in the unbelieving world. While none of us can fully fathom ALL that He is presently working, we can grasp enough particulars that empower us to align with His present works. This podcast episode is precisely geared to...
