Jesus Style of Leadership

Have you seen those leadership pyramids where the leader is at the top and all of the followers or employees are beneath the leader? That is the way much, if not all of corporate America is designed. It is also the way much of the Church is operated. It is also the way many marriages are run. What if that pyramid is not the way Jesus would run things? What if Jesus would turn that pyramid totally upside down? In this podcast I want to look at Jesus Style of leadership and the impact it can have on our lives.

Fear Is Not Your Friend

In this podcast we are going to look at the bravery of Benaiah and hopefully inspire each of us with his story.

How Can We Have Wholehearted Devotion to Jesus?

People all around the world know the emergency phone number for their country. It is 911 for those of us in North America, I believe it is 999 in the UK, and 112 in Europe. We know that you only dial those numbers when you need emergency services like an ambulance, or the police, or the fire department. Unfortunately many people have a 911 relationship with Jesus. They only call on Him when they are in an emergency. Yes, Jesus will be there for you when you are in a crisis, but He is much more than a 911 Jesus.

The Erosion of Our Faith

A sinkhole does not start out as a huge hole in the ground. It starts with a bit of erosion of the foundation underneath that over time, causes the surface to finally sink. Our faith can also be eroded, not usually by the big issue of life, but by having our foundation erode over time. In this podcast, we will talk about the erosion that can happen and how to Restore your Foundation so a sinkhole does not occur in your life.

Are You Living As An Orphan

Have you ever thought about firing your parents? I remember a season in my life when I realized that I might never get my father’s approval, and I emotionally fired him. Oh, I still lived under his roof until I got married, but I quit looking to him for approval. In other words, I began to live my life as an Orphan. In this podcast, and in the next podcast, we are going to look at a very common stronghold that is probably affecting your life in some way, and you might be so used to it, you don’t recognize it’s power over your life. Come along as we look at the stronghold of orphan lifestyle, performance, and anxiety.

Don’t Dance With the Devil

Have you ever been in a church where there was a church split? If you have not, you are blessed. Why is it not unusual for a church to have a split?

Matters of the Heart

There are two conditions that are a bit hard to define because they are invisible boundary lines, yet they often have a very strong effect on your life. Those two conditions that may be interacting are soul ties and being able to establish healthy boundaries. Both of these are hard to define because you can’t point to a specific behavior to verify them. They both have to do with our heart attitudes, and they are both important because they can hinder our free will. In this podcast, we are going to look at how unhealthy soul ties might be reinforcing unhealthy boundaries. If you are not sure what I am talking about, I understand. Come along with me, and we will attempt to show how these two interact and may be causing you to struggle, and you might not even be aware.
