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 this episode for an exploration of faith and belief. We will 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.

Key Takeaways:

• God tags those who believe in the right way to live and are open to change.
• Religious people often say they will do something but fail to take action.
• Being tagged by God requires believing in the right way to live and being willing to try.

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.

Key Takeaways:

• The monetary system is not designed for individuals to make money, but for others to make money with their money.
• To become the master of your finances, you need to finance yourself and have money work for you.
• Prosperity is not determined by how much money you have, but by how much money you have left over after paying everyone else.
• Say no to yourself and make wise financial choices to have money left over and achieve prosperity.
• Set aside 10% of your income for God and give it to your church.

We're under siege in a culture war, and it's time to bravely navigate this changing terrain. In this episode of More Faith, More Life, we explore how we're being subtly coerced into accepting what we shouldn't, and how the shift in our culture is being accelerated by the powerful and the influential. But fear not, for we draw parallels between the events leading up to World War II and current events to expound on how faith can be our guiding light in this war.

In an era of uncertainty and rapid changes, the potential threats we face might seem overwhelming. From the looming threat of a war with North Korea to economic upheavals like the nations uniting to end the US dollar, we emphasize the importance of keeping our faith steadfast.

Tune in as we explore the intersection of faith, politics, and culture in the heart of this cultural war.

• Relying on faith and the teachings of the Bible can help individuals navigate the challenges of the culture war and make decisions that align with their values.

Listen in as I challenge the idea of cultural Christianity and urge you to experience a transformative faith that transcends the influence of culture. Drawing from my personal journey of seeking more from God, I share practical tools and real-life experiences that can help you redefine your faith and ultimately, your life. Discover how our culture has created a “culture Christianity” that often lacks challenge and doesn't lead to life-changing experiences. I also touch on my book, When the Kingdom Comes, that adds context to familiar scriptures.

Key Takeaways:

• Culture Christianity has made us more focused on fitting into our culture than on truly following God.
• Christianity should be about transformation, not just cleaning up our lives.
• Many traditional churches fail to engage younger generations because they prioritize comfort over encountering God.
• Christians need to surround themselves with healthy people who can inspire and guide them.
• More faith leads to more life, and it is possible to experience a vibrant and fulfilling faith in today's world.

First, I share my personal journey towards deepening my faith and finding my purpose, drawing inspiration from the great Winston Churchill. As I recount my own experiences, I strive to act as a spiritual father, sharing insights that are as practical as they are spiritual. I hope to provide guidance and encouragement to listeners in their faith journeys, and also to inform you about my upcoming books.

Drawing from both my personal experiences and the wisdom of God, I provide guidance on how we can navigate these uncertain times.

Ever wondered if there was something more to the church than what currently meets the eye? Well, join me, as I let you in on my journey of faith, where my pursuit of a deeper connection with God led me to discover the profound truths about what a church should truly stand for. This isn't your average religious discourse, but a revelation of biblical truths and church secrets designed to transform your faith and life.

We don't just stop there. Let's address the elephant in the room - church debt, and how it impacts faith organizations. Along with that, we take a deep look into the essence of community and authenticity in the religious broadcasting sphere. But most importantly, we explore the ways to build a genuine connection with God, beyond the music and ministries prevalent in today's churches. So join me in this enlightening journey into the heart of faith and spirituality, and let's redefine what it means to be part of a church and truly connect with our Creator.

Key Takeaways:

• Churches should prioritize a connection with God over community.
• Many churches use community to build their congregation, but this is not the true purpose of a church.
• True transformation comes from connecting with God and experiencing His presence.
• Look for a church where you can see evidence of God's presence and feel a genuine connection with Him.

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. Delving deeper, we stress the importance of leadership in preparing for the next wave of revival and the need for a local church to maintain focus on the Lord rather than guest speakers. Join us on this enlightening journey as we unpack the dynamics of faith, finance, and transition in the realm of ministry.

Key Takeaways:

• Importance of financial stewardship and trusting God to provide
• Be patient and willing to work a job while pursuing your calling
