Tent Talk with Nancy McCready

“God's goal is not to make evil people good. It is to make dead people alive.” It’s time to buckle your seat belts! In this provoking episode of Tent Talk Podcast, Nancy McCready brings us back to the center – His name is Jesus. According to Romans 5, we were born sinners not because of our actions, but because we were 'in Adam.' The way of salvation was not in God making us good, but in His savin...

In Christ, we have everything! Continuing in Watchman Nee’s Messenger of the Cross, Nancy challenges us to embrace the life we now live IN CHRIST.

Jesus said, 'I only do what my Father is doing.' Do you see from the Father’s viewpoint?  In this episode of Tent Talk Podcast, Nancy challenges us to look at how far off of Christ we've come in Christianity. In all things, we must go back to Jesus to see how we were meant to live. What was Jesus’ focal point? It was the Father. Are we at the proper starting point? When we back up far enough to al...

God is flipping HIs house! He is exposing our man-centered ways, and calling us back to His ultimate intention. Join us in this episode of Tent Talk Podcast, where Nancy McCready provokes us to re-center our lives on Him.

The journey of discipleship is a slow-fire process, requiring patience and perseverance. It's not abo...

Let's align with the Father and build what He's building, how He wants it bu...
