404-4-The Bind and Loose Blueprint

“What did Jesus mean when he said he would give Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven? Why do we have so many pastors, priests, and religious leaders who hold so strongly to institutional authority?

In today’s podcast and post we continue our series examining the church Jesus said he would build and comparing it to the business of modern religion. 

Join me now as we discover that the authority of Jesus true church is not from institutional power or religion, but by Christ himself and it is given to all those in faith just as it was to Peter.

403-3-Non Prevailing Gates

“What did Jesus mean when he said “The Gates of Hell will not prevail against his Church?”

Today we continue our series where we are deconstructing Church history and comparing it to Jesus’ blueprint for the Church. The contrast between the design and what we have today should cause believers to really question where they are placing their faith, but as you’ll see, the religious mind places tradition over liberation.

Join me now as we consider the implications upon our culture that have resulted from the church becoming institutionalized and losing its way.

402-2-Church Buildings…

“Why is nearly every church associated with a building, a staff, and all the aspects of a modern business? Where did we get the idea that believers are required to “go to church?”

In today’s podcast and post we continue our series where we deconstruct church history and go back to where Jesus said he would build his Church. Once we see the original blueprint, we may wonder how we got to where we are.

Join me now as I reveal Jesus’ own definition of the Church, and how we regain our Sunday mornings from institutional overreach.

401-Life’s TWO Questions Which Spark Spiritual Discovery

Join me now as we see beyond the propaganda of institutional religion and consider the first two questions which establish either religious captivity or freedom in God.

“Have you ever heard of “The Dark Night of the Soul?” How do we know if we are in it?

Today we continue our series of “A Course in Darkness” with a look at The Dark Night of the Soul. The term itself makes us feel like we might understand what this experience is like, but as you’ll see, that is usually not the case.

Join me now as I try and describe the Dark Night and its true purpose, with the hope that if we ever find ourselves in its grasp, that we can embrace it and the transformation it brings.

397-4-Shadow and Image

“Do you know the difference between and image and a shadow?

In today’s podcast and post, I continue in our series called “A Course in Darkness” where I will explore the purpose of our darkness. I’ll prove how a person who rejects God because of all the meaningless suffering in the world, is actually complicit to that suffering.

Join me now as we discover the purpose of darkness and how it reveals not only our state of weakness, but also our role in restoring the world with the light of God.

395-2-The Darkness of God

“Why has no religion nor spiritual pursuit in the history of humanity ever successfully eradicated humanity from our dark side?”

Think about it. How successful has your own spiritual process been? In today’s podcast and post we continue our series entitled “A Course in Darkness” with an examination of God’s darkness.

Join me now as we see beyond our flimsy theologies, our tribal notions, and failed prayers, to gain a transformative perspective of the Darkness of God.
