This week Dr. Gregg Mays honors the outgoing Miss Florida Paris Richardson and Miss Florida’s Teen Noelle Schnacky. These two ladies have served the state of Florida well for the past year. On Saturday, June 27, they will pass their respective titles to two more, well deserving young ladies.  Thank you, Paris! Thank you, Noelle! You will be missed. Foundation Scripture: John 15:13 How can Agape Le...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays helps us answer the question of why people leave the faith and turn their back on God. Many people find themselves in a faith crisis. They wonder if what they believe is true. Religious doubt does not catch God by surprise. Learning to better handle faith challenges is how we grow into a right relationship with God.  Foundation Scripture: John 3:36 How can Agape Leaders se...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays tells us that when obeying God is hard, obey anyway. It is important that as Christians, we must seek God’s will over personal desires. He uses Psalms 1 to bolster his lesson on this matter. Ultimately, we all must be able to answer the question, what does the Bible say about obedience. Foundation Scripture: Psalms 1 How can Agape Leaders serve you?   Please find us at:   ...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays brings back Random Thoughts. He has three that we should ponder.  Residual Sin: Why do I still commit some of the same sin after salvation that I committed before I knew Jesus? Church Hurt: How do we help someone who has religious trauma or spiritual abuse? Witnessing to Loved Ones: How can you share the gospel with unsaved family and friends. This is an important episode....

This week Dr. Gregg Mays asks the question, if Judas Iscariot had not hung himself, could he have been forgiven.  This is an interesting question as we look at how Peter was forgiven and put to work for Jesus. While on the cross, Jesus is recorded by Luke as saying, “Father forgive them, they do not know what they are doing.” Would this same forgiveness be extended towards Judas?  Foundation Scrip...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays reminds us that sin takes you farther than you want to go, keeps you longer than you want to stay, and costs you more than you want to pay. Unfortunately, for him, this episode is based on a true story that happened to him.  As he stated in a previous episode, sin costs. It is important to break the cycle of sin by making good decisions and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus....

This week Dr. Gregg Mays reminds us that our sin costs. We know about Romans 6:23, which tells us that the wages of sin is death. What we forget is that even though Jesus covered the death cost of sin, we still must face the consequences of our sin. Read 2 Samual to learn how David was unable to escape the consequences of his sin with Bathsheba.  Foundation Scripture: Romans 6:23 How can Agape Lea...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays teaches us to follow God’s spiritual guidance as we allow Him to answer our prayers His way and not ours. Trusting God is key to ensuring that we do not get in our own way, thus causing us to dwindle in our faith as we decide how God should answer our prayers. Foundation Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-14 How can Agape Leaders serve you?   Please find us at:          Website:  http...

Are you constantly comparing what you do in ministry with what God has someone else doing?  This week Dr. Gregg Mays helps us to overcome comparisons. He uses the passage from John 21:20-22 when Jesus tells Peter to stay in his lane, in a manner of speaking.  Foundation Scripture: John 21:20-22 How can Agape Leaders serve you?    Please find us at:          Website:  http://www.agapeleaders.org/  ...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays opens his Bible to John 14:21 to teach us about the importance of having our love be followed by obedience to God. If you want to live a right life for Christ, you must love others. Jesus teaches in John 13 that people will know that we are His disciples by our love for one another. Foundation Scripture: John 14:21; John 13:34-35 How can Agape Leaders serve you?    Please...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays shares a little more about the testimony he and his wife recently discussed on the May 11 Agape Leaders Podcast. He reminds us that everyday miracles happen in front of us, sometimes daily. We must be willing to open our eyes to watch God move. Then we must be willing to share our experience so others may know the reach of God. Foundation Scripture: Joshua 1:6-9 How can Ag...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays explains why it is important to give our anxiety to God by exercising our faith. He uses Philippians 4:6-7 to help listeners understand that we do not have to embrace our fears and anxieties.  Unfortunately there are not enough Christian podcasts about anxiety. Dr. Mays highlights the importance of talking about this topic and provides solutions to help you with your anxie...

Today Dr. Mays talks about the significance of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He uses the lesson of David and Bathsheba highlighting David’s sin with Bathsheba.  He answers the question, what happens when you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is a reminder that with sin, there is a chain reaction; what starts out as seemingly not harmful can lead to hurt or even death. Found...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays is joined by his wife, Son Hui Mays. They talk about how God can be found in the most unexpected places. This story is one about God at the boarding gate.  Recently Son was supposed to fly to South Korea, but there was an unexpected “hiccup” that turned into a divine appointment. Son tells how “God helped me at the boarding gate.” Without God’s intervention, Son was in for...

Today Dr. Mays talks about the importance of discovering your Biblical purpose. He highlights the battle that takes place in Revelation 12:7-8 to teach about the importance of having obedient faith to God in all circumstances. He shares that when we are not walking in our calling, we will falter in our walk.  When we stay connected to God through reading our Bible we will learn how to know God’s w...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays spends time reflecting on life changes as he and the members of the Agape Leaders Christian Fellowship Ministry continue to do their weekly prayer walks. He shares how Jesus has changed his life and the lives of those he encounters on the prayer walks.  He is excited to share how the group has been able to give people the hope of Jesus in difficult times.  How can Agape Le...

Today Dr. Mays tackles the question, “why them.” He talks about how Christians will look at another person’s “good fortune” and wonder why that person has it better than them. The funny thing is, rarely do Christians look at someone who has a difficult life and ask, “why them.” Foundation Scripture: John 21:20-22 How can Agape Leaders serve you?    Please find us at:          Website:  http://www....

This week Dr. Gregg Mays answers the question, why does God allow…. He explains that we have free will and our decisions, good or bad, have an impact on the lives of others, good or bad. Foundation Scriptures: Leviticus 26:3-13 How can Agape Leaders serve you?   Please find us at:          Website:  http://www.agapeleaders.org/     LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregg-mays/       Facebook:...

Today Dr. Mays shares a thought with us. He believes that we under appreciate the miracle of the virgin birth. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, God tells Paul that His grace is sufficient. He says that His power is made perfect in weakness. What is “weaker” than trying to have a baby without ever entering into a physical relationship presumably necessary for procreation? Foundation Scripture: 2 Corinthians...

This week Dr. Gregg Mays explains why we must give our testimony verbally, not just live it out. Who needs to hear your testimony?
