    Fully Known by God

    Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! You can’t keep anything hidden from God but you can spend years living like you have to. We talk about the moment prayer changes from control and performance into surrender: when we stop resisting being fully known and start welcoming God’s kind gaze. We begin with Ephesians 6 and the simple, demanding invitation to “be strong in the Lord,” learning what it means to draw strength from our union with Christ instead of our own drive. From there we get honest about the regret many of us carry about being needy, weak, or limited and why Scripture points us to a paradox that can feel almost offensive at first: boasting in weakness because God loves to work through frailty. Psalm 139 becomes our guide for hearing God with an open heart. God searches us, knows our motives, and understands what we are like before a word is on our tongue. The real question is whether we welcome that reality. We explore the “rooms” in our hearts we would rather avoid, how to bring God into those places without pretending, and how to pray when you know it’s best to surrender but you cannot yet force your heart to comply. If you’ve ever wondered why the Psalms sound so raw, this conversation will help you see prayer as a real relationship where God patiently untangles what we withhold over time.

    Renewed Passion for Prayer

    Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Busy season doesn’t mean bad season. We’re talking about the kind of “neck deep” fall momentum many of us feel and why the kingdom of God often looks like real work: planning, building, inviting, organizing, and showing up. We unpack a simple framework we’ve lived by for years, “form and fire,” where we build the altar and trust God to bring the fire. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at “programs,” or felt guilty for being productive, we offer a different lens: healthy spiritual life can be active without becoming anxious. Then we pivot into prayer, because we’ve been sensing a fresh invitation to grow here, personally and as a church. A line landed in our hearts: we don’t have a prayer problem, we have an equipping problem. Sometimes we expect people to run before they’ve learned to walk. We talk about what’s actually happening when we pray: surrender, trust, being reshaped in what we call “good,” and getting close enough to hear what matters to God. Prayer becomes less about getting stuff and more about doing life with God. We also name a battle many people face: the lie that eloquence equals effectiveness. God isn’t looking for polished words as much as a humble, honest heart. If prayer has felt intimidating, transactional, or confusing, this is a grounded starting point and a hopeful reset.  Subscribe for what’s coming next, share this with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the podcast.

    The Joy Of Discovering God

    Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! The fastest way to burn out spiritually is to treat hearing God like a test you have to pass. We slow things down and bring it back to the heartbeat of the gospel: a good Father who loves to speak, loves to lead, and loves to partner with ordinary people. We share a fresh story from a church renewal night where we pause in silence and pray, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening,” then we connect it to the bigger invitation of God’s mission in our cities and communities. Anthony also opens up about teaching a prophetic ministry training class and watching people step into “first time” discovery, including those who are new believers and those carrying baggage from unhealthy spiritual gift experiences. From there we get practical: we talk about a simple activation that dismantles performance and builds faith fast, asking, “Holy Spirit, what do You love about the person beside me?” We unpack why healthy prophecy never traffics in public shame, how “secrets of the heart” can point to identity, design, and destiny, and why Romans 2:4 (kindness leading to repentance) matters for prophetic ministry. We also name the difference between the “what” of revelation and the “how” of delivery, because stewardship and heart posture determine whether a moment becomes life-giving. Finally, we trace a choice every listener faces: a journey of fear or a journey of joy. If listening to God is producing anxiety, we talk about how to return to truth, dependence, and delight, until you rediscover that Jesus is better than your mind thought He was.

    Casting Your Cares on Jesus

    Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Anxiety has a way of feeling responsible, like if we stop worrying then something will fall apart. We sit down and tell the truth about that pressure, how it grows when hard circumstances hit, and how quickly it can sneak into identity. We start with a personal reflection on recovery and “convalescing,” not as a dirty word, but as the process of getting stronger and stepping back into life with a healthier mindset. From there we go deep on a simple biblical invitation that is anything but automatic: “Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). We talk about the real-life moment when you realize you have been ruminating for hours, the warning signs that show up as “fruit” in your heart, and why the fruit of an unburdened life looks like rest. We share two practical ways to pray when your mind won’t stop spinning: a breath prayer you can do in minutes, and a short releasing prayer we return to again and again, naming the people and situations we cannot fix while guarding peace. We also explore Philippians 4:6-7 and why gratitude becomes a declaration that shifts posture from under the weight to seated with Christ, helping us rule over the cares of life instead of being ruled by them. If you need a grounded Christian approach to anxiety, prayer, Sabbath rest, and hearing God in the middle of stress, this conversation is for you.  Subscribe, share this with a friend who feels weighed down, and leave a review so more people can find the podcast.

    Breaking Up Fallow Ground

    Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! God can speak through a scent, a sentence, or a sudden inner knowing and sometimes it’s so unexpected we don’t even have a category for it. We start with why we’ve spent years having open, agenda-free conversations about hearing God, the prophetic, and the mystical, and why we think the Church needs more room for honest stories that don’t fit an “enlightenment-only” worldview. Then we tell a fresh prophetic story: a friend drives past a construction site, smells newly excavated earth, and hears the Lord say, “I love that smell.” That one line leads us straight into Hosea 10:12 and the call to “break up your fallow ground.” We explore what fallow ground can mean in Christian spirituality: places in the heart that are unplowed, places that were once worked but left untouched for a season, and places that became hard because of fear, pain, disappointment, distraction, or self-protection. We also talk about how God may revisit an old calling or dream you assumed was finished, not to shame you, but to bring rain and plant something new. Along the way we get practical about prophetic ministry, spiritual gifts, and why we believe every believer can grow in prophecy through relationship with the Holy Spirit. We name repentance as the doorway to change, trust as the thing our hearts most need, and partnership with God as the core invitation: he loves working with us, not around us. If you feel stuck, restless, or out of your depth, you’ll hear simple prayers and next steps that start with honesty and end in hope.

    The Importance of Being Chosen

    Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! If you've ever caught yourself thinking "that's just my humanness" like it's a spiritual insult, you're not alone. We get honest about the way believers quietly cringe at their own limits, weaknesses, and ordinary emotions, then assume God feels the same way about them. What if He doesn't? What if God actually meets your humanity with kindness, even joy, and the real problem isn't your humanness but the story you've been telling yourself about it? From there we tackle a question that sits under so much of our striving: am I important to God? We talk about why the "humble" answer of "I'm not important" actually leaves us wide open to discouragement and disqualification. We get into purpose and design, how God doesn't create anything without intent, and how the way creation functions hints at how God chose to work with people. We also talk about intercession and participation in God's unfolding plan, and why purpose naturally implies meaning and value. Then we land on the center of it all: Jesus. God's clearest statement about human worth is the incarnation. God becomes human, remains the God man, and carries our story all the way through the cross and into restoration. We name the gap between head knowledge and heart belief, and we lean on Jesus' words in John 15 about abiding, plus the startling humility of John 5, where even the Son only does what He sees the Father doing. Dependence isn't shameful. It's design. We close with Peter's charcoal fires, denial and restoration, and pray together for the Holy Spirit to speak chosenness into our hearts, not just our minds.  If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.
