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!
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!

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?
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."
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.
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.
SPEAK LIFE: The Destructive & Life-Giving Power of the TongueEpisode Notes
The American Dream is the western world's ideal: A pursuit of happiness each person is in a race for. But as good as the "American Dream" sounds, is it Biblical? I would like to submit to you that many believers are chasing after a ghost of the American Dream full of empty promises. Some of us have pursued it, only to be left feeling more lonely than ever before. And even for those of us who tried avoiding it, this mindset has influenced the way we see ourselves, others, and even God.
Join me in this livestream as we expose the Ghost of the American Dream in the Church.
When we are about to be confronted with the one who witnesses everything, how will we respond?
Today I'd like to take you on a journey to a strange story few people know in the Bible: The Test of the Adulterous Woman. A story not just about an adulterous woman, but each of us. What does an adulterous woman have to do with you? Everything, because God has called you to become a spotless Bride of Christ, and one day we will each need to take an oath of innocence. But Yeshua warns us that some who considered themselves believers will be in danger on this day.
The thief on the cross had nothing to offer God, yet Christ saved Him at his last moments because of His faith. The simplicity of the gospel is genuinely demonstrated. But the thief has also often been brought up as the role model for living a Christian life of "mere belief" without deep commitment towards the faith. Did Christ die for us to live as the thief, only to realize the mistake on our deathbed? In reality, it actually seems as though the thief was one of the worst examples to follow, while Christ's life of radical fruit remains the only role model worth looking to.
