Episode Notes

Recently, theology has emerged among believers that while the New Testament provides us the Messiah and solution to sin, apart from this nothing new or unique was given. But the question is: Did the Old Testament believers have access to the Holy Spirit in the same way that we have today? Your answer to this question will radically change the way you interpret the New Testament and what your life as a disciple is to look like.

Unfortunately, believers to be divided over this question. But I believe a careful study of scripture makes this clear and simple to understand - the question is, will we believe the bold claims the Scriptures make for us regarding the Holy Spirit?

Episode Notes

Corrupt pastors, the Prosperity Gospel, Kundalini spirits, Fake Healings...we've all seen or experienced the harm caused by these counterfeit and deceptive gospels. However, is it possible that the trauma caused by spiritual abuse has clouded our vision and caused us to reject what IS true in God's Kingdom? What does Scripture say about Leadership, Giving, Spiritual Gifts, and the Holy Spirit - and what SHOULD they look like?

Episode Notes

Miriam was a prophetess that helped deliver Moses from the Egyptians, was the first worship leader of Israel - singing the Song of Moses, and witness all of God's wonders over Egypt. Yet her life ends as a mere footnote of her death in an unrelated verse. An unfortunate legacy the scriptures do not praise. Her good deeds were overshadowed the day she opposed Moses; and her speech caused a spiritual leprosy to invade Israel, even indirectly leading to the death of 14,700.

But it's still possible for us to fall into the same temptation as Miriam, and in this story, God shows us how to avoid it.

You heard it right. Join me live as I embark upon the challenge to read a list of every single commandment in the New Testament!

Episode Notes

In the fall, not only was Adam & Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden, but they were introduced to a new one. Part of the curse of the fall allowed for new types of plants to be introduced, bearing thorns & thistles. Demonstrating the consequences of listening to the wrong voice, and how a new seed has infiltrated God's creation.

But God now calls His people to restore His Garden back to the world, battling against the deceit of the enemy and wickedness in this world. But in order for you to succeed, you must be planted in good soil and bear good fruit.

Join me as we uncover revelation upon revelation of the Garden we are to become!

Episode Notes

We all know the headlines. It seems like its a new one every other week now. The latest pastor who has fallen into adulteries, or even raping younger children. It is quite easy for the church to point the finger at the immoralities of the world, but are we not to judge inside the church?

Not all of Christianity is guilty of this. But when was the last time you heard a sermon on how God considers the sin of adultery so serious, that He instituted the death penalty? Or how with rape He required the life of the offender?

Instead, for many of these offending pastors, a temporary leave with a "sorry about that" is enough to satisfy the discourse, only to have him back next year. If me, being a believer can say this, what may the world (being at enmity with God) say?

If we don't speak out and judge the immoral in our midst we call "brother", then the world will. And they will rightfully accuse us of hypocrisy and misrepresentation of what we say we believe. Worst of all, perhaps, many of them will attribute our hypocrisy to our Messiah. And our hands will be full of blood.

The rise of Progressive Christianity and a great falling away isn't the fault of the liberals or the immoral in the world. No. It is the fault of the compromising church, who in her hypocrisy have allowed immorality to flourish within. And when it flourishes within, will the world not only take what they have learned one step further?

Episode Notes

Join PD and Christina for this podcast-style conversation where Christina makes an embarrassing confession😂: "Growing up, I had little to no concept about the Holy Spirit or the Spiritual Gifts - I rarely heard them mentioned, and I never saw them practiced by those around me! Shortly before I met Pd, I knew something was missing in my faith walk, and I had a burning desire to walk more like Yeshua. However it was only when I met PD and got to know him that I realized how little I knew about the Holy Spirit and its gifts, especially the gift of healing."

Episode Notes

Hannibal grew up in a church where many people "Spoke in Tongues." But he also grew confused and lonely because he didn't himself. After being spiritually wounded regarding this gift, he lost interest almost completely. But years later, God awoke his spirit to a reignited desire for spiritual gifts. And the first gift God wants him to have? Speaking in Tongues.

Episode Notes

Why are we here? What is the point of this life? What is our purpose and do we have value? These are the questions that each of us face, but are there answers? The answer to these questions is the very thing that would unlock our greatest potential, give us freedom and true fulfillment, and help us live a life of purpose - a life that not just for the “now” but for eternity.

We live in a voice-activated world, where every word we say to others or speak over ourselves has the power of life or death, to build-up or tear-down. But as Scripture says, we speak out what our hearts are full of. Whose voice are you listening to in your life, Yeshua’s voice or the enemy?

It’s time to stop giving the enemy’s lies authority in your life, it’s time to walk in your true identity as an image-bearer of the King. Remember which Kingdom you represent - your words have power, speak life.
