If You Only Knew
Does our generation find itself clueless because we are more sin-conscious than God-conscious? I delve into this compelling question in a unique edition of the More Faith, More Life Podcast. We'll shed light on how to merge spiritual and political aspects: a lesson Jesus himself imparted, and I'll introduce my new ebook, If You Only Knew. This book lays bare the flawed strategies of Jewish leadership during Jesus' time, who chose wealth accumulation and alliances over adhering to Jesus' teachings. You'll learn how to navigate through the misconceptions of your faith and embrace a life filled with God's favor.
Our discussion doesn't stop there. We take a critical look at our Protestant Christian faith, where simply acknowledging our sinfulness doesn't cut it. There's a monumental event on the horizon, and aligning ourselves with the pattern set by Jesus is crucial for our spiritual survival. We'll dive deeper into the art of living in the favor of God, which goes beyond mere repentance and cessation of certain actions. Together, we'll explore the path to living fully in God's kingdom and favor and how to protect ourselves from nations rising against us, by paying attention to our spiritual guidance. Let's journey together to embrace a life in God's favor and keep our loved ones safe.

Tag, You're It
Have you ever wrestled with the challenge of truly living God's teachings, rather than merely agreeing with them? Are you wondering how to let Jesus take the lead in your spiritual journey? If so, join me on an exploration of faith and belief in this episode. We delve into a powerful parable from Jesus about two sons and their contrasting responses to their father's request, and ponder on God's profound message conveyed through notorious, yet repentant sinners like tax collectors and prostitutes.
In the second half of our discussion, we shift our focus to the power of faith and the pitfalls of disregarding divine messages. We emphasize the critical need to make God and Jesus the cornerstone of our spiritual existence, while acknowledging the practical challenges in doing so. Furthermore, we illuminate God's willingness to 'tag' or choose those who listen, learn, and align with Him, regardless of their spiritual background. By opening our hearts to His word, we can be chosen by Him, fostering a deeper connection with our faith. Tune in to fortify your belief and enrich your life with these enlightening insights.

Isn't it time we started working for ourselves rather than a system? This episode prompts a deep dive into the money landscape of America and how we're not necessarily designed to profit in the traditional sense. We discuss the fine line between poverty and prosperity, and how your own decisions can help you tip the scales in your favor. By taking control of your finances, you can shift from a life of money-induced stress to one of financial prosperity.
"NO" may be a tiny word, but when it comes to money, it carries enormous power. We delve into the art of self-discipline, discussing how declining unnecessary expenses and ensuring intelligent financial choices can keep your wallet happy. From downsizing living costs to understanding the true impact of buying possessions outright, we've got you covered. It's time to stop being beholden to monthly bills and start owning your financial independence.
Money can either be your master or your tool, and we're aiming for the latter. Our conversation scales the steps of financial freedom, diving deep into the concept of self-financing. We share a simple, practical approach that can help you become prosperous while still maintaining a wise and godly handle on your finances. Shake off the chains of financial worry and step into a life overflowing with peace and prosperity.

Revival, Repentance, and Leadership
The call of the spiritual trumpet has been loud and clear for the local churches, urging them to refocus and prioritize what’s important. It’s fascinating to see how many churches have responded with repentance and a change in path. As we touch upon the recent revival at Asbury and other campuses, we discuss the dangers of comparing different expressions of Christ’s body against each other.

Join us on this enlightening journey as we unpack the dynamics of faith, finance, and transition in the realm of ministry.
Key Takeaways:
