The Faith Tested By Fire Podcast

Traditions, especially from the American-Based Church, have muddied the ways quite a bit when it comes to how the 1st Century Believers prayed, faced challenges and operated. When you examine certain scriptures closely, you can see where we have departed from the path somewhat in our era. This is the first episode in a series where we will look at and question some of the things we may have taken...

There is an honest, pure heart connection we can make with God, through prayer, in the midst of any test of trial. In this place, fear gives way to faith, and we make the transition the Bible describes as going from faith to faith (Romans 1:17) and from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). In this podcast, I will give you real-world examples of why certain things may take longer to receive than ot...

Do Bible promises really cover your individual case today, or where they just meant for those who lived back in Jesus time? A lot of people debate theology, but I believe we should examine what the Bible itself says about it. What did God Himself intend with the Words that were written? Up until the Book of Acts, the believers did not even realize salvation was available to Gentiles, even though t...

In Florida, where I live, people are praying for safety for themselves and for their friends and loved ones. Elsewhere, people are also praying for those areas either hit by or threatened by the hurricane. In this â Hurricane Specialâ podcast, Iâ m sharing some thoughts about storms, calamities and what Godâ s people can do according to the Bible. (Recorded on 9-9-2017) *https://www.faithtestedbyf...

As time passes, we tend to reassess or reconsider the value we place on the things in our lives. I’m talking about what’s truly important and what, in retrospect, wasn’t as important as we thought at the time. The other day, I had a deeper insight into this topic. I gave some thought to the big picture and how we as individuals fit into God’s plan. I’ll be talking about this and other things in to...

From the feeling that you’re missing out on something to not being happy with a limiting income, many believers find themselves dealing with discontentment in their lives in various areas. In today’s podcast, I want to talk about what the Bible says about being content and how you can reset your focus if you feel yourself sinking within the waves that are created through the storms of life. https:...

Persistent problems (by definition) seem to be immune to the solutions we’ve turned to. How many times have you wondered why – “For some reason, this problem is still present in my life?” We all have. The secondary problem occurs when we answer the “why” with false or untrue conclusion. For example, “The problem exists because of God.” By creating a false reality or belief system, we basically co-...

A good portion of the Book of Revelation seems to point to the events surrounding the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. Still, other events seem to point to a future point in time. If most of the end time prophecies are already fulfilled, are we close to the end of God's timeline or are there still hundreds of more years of history yet to come?

There’s no question, good things happen to those who “choose God’s Word” and purpose to apply its truth as they face various tests and trials in life. Sometimes, however, you can be so introspective of you inadvertently become your own worst enemy. What seems to be a vicious circle in our experience can actually be a simple matter of focus and the choice we make to believe or doubt. Subscribe to T...

Faith creates expectancy. The question is, what are you expecting? Some expect very little, or they expect to have the same or similar limitations as those who don’t believe. I was caught in such a situation and it took quite a while before I realized it. In today’s podcast, I’ll be talking about what I learned and how you can get to a place where you expect God’s power to help through every test...

You can plant the seeds today for a better tomorrow. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 AKJV (6) I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (7) So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase. Follow the Bible principles and don’t be fearful. Prayer is a form of seed planting. We plant seeds in our own lives and in the lives of others. Persist...

The Bible says the scriptures were written so that “we might have hope.” Hope precedes faith. Without it, faith won’t last and unbelief keeps us bogged down and the struggle becomes exhausting. Today’s podcast will help you identify where you’ve lost hope in your life and with God’s help, have it restored again. Subscribe to The Faith Tested By Fire Podcast on Soundwise

Every day is another chance to turn everything around. I truly believe that. Have you ever come to a place where you suddenly “wake up,” look around and realize something has to change? I’ve been there. I’ve also experienced going about creating that change in my own strength and ability. It’s tough, frustrating and I’ve ended up feeling like I went in one big circle when all is said and done. I’v...

A high premium is placed on knowledge within our society and culture. I believe we sometimes inadvertently substitute knowing God within a given set of challenges with know “about Him” from an intellectual standpoint. And then we wonder why problems seem to persist? I’m learning from experience how to discern the difference in my day to day life. It’s starts with honesty about everything – coming...

Each of us has been given a "custom path" to follow for our individual lives. By looking at others and making comparisons, we can lose sight of the things, lessons and blessings God prepared for us before we were born. Each test has a reward waiting on the other side.

Giving sincere thanks for something your can't see yet may be one of the highest expressions of faith there is. Especially if you stay with it. Being thankful for the blessings you already have is the other side of the same coin. Practicing both not only pleases God, but changes you. In a time of great pessimism, be the light you were called to be. Subscribe to The Faith Tested By Fire Podcast on...
