Episode 217: Going On Record About the Election

In our spiritual journey, we often face the challenge of aligning our emotions, thoughts, and will with God's truth. As we approach a critical moment in our nation's history, we're called to reflect deeply on our values and how they align with our faith. This message challenges us to consider the sanctity of life and the profound responsibility we bear as Christians in shaping our society. The central theme revolves around protecting the unborn, drawing parallels to biblical accounts of child sacrifice to false gods like Molech. We're reminded of God's judgment on nations, including ancient Israel, for such practices – and we are called to consider how God would ever let America escape the same judgment. This isn't just about politics; it's about standing for God's creation and His image in every human life. As believers, we must ask ourselves: How will we account for our choices before God? Are we truly living out our faith in all aspects of our lives, including our civic duties? This message urges us to courageously stand for biblical principles, even when it's uncomfortable or unpopular. It's a call to align our votes with our values and to be unashamed in defending the vulnerable.

Episode 209: 3 Prophetic Questions

Jesus once asked his closest followers three vital questions. From those three questions found in Mark 8:18, we are able today to draw out three priorities that all modern believers should be considering. With the global chaos and biblical signs of the end of the age happening right in front of us, there is no option to be a passive spectator. These three ancient prophetic questions from Jesus can serve as a catalyst for our own present journeys in the faith. Time is of the essence, and we cannot afford to wake up late.

Episode 215: When Holy Spirit Gifts Cease

In this final look at spiritual gifts, we delve into the heart of a controversial topic that challenges our understanding of God's ongoing work in the world. The debate revolves around the continuation of the Holy Spirit's gifts in modern times, urging us to reconsider any preconceived notions we might hold. By examining 1 Corinthians 13 and the prophecy of Joel 2, we're invited to see how these spiritual gifts are intricately tied to the second coming of Christ. This perspective encourages us to remain open and proactive about the supernatural workings of God in our lives today. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to ask ourselves: are we limiting God's power in our lives by disbelieving in these gifts? How might our faith and ministry be transformed if we embraced the full spectrum of Holy Spirit's work? This episode of Mavericks & Misfits calls us to a deeper, more experiential faith that goes beyond mere intellectual assent.
