    The Victorious Mind - Part 1 - From Carnal to Spiritual

    Pastor Rick Shriver teaches practical steps to move from a carnal, defeatist mindset into the victorious mind of Christ. He explains how thoughts drive emotions and actions, why many Christians remain stuck despite church attendance, and how the Word of God renews thinking. Using Scripture (Romans, Ephesians, Colossians, Hebrews) and real-life examples, Rick addresses media influence, social media addiction, parenting safeguards, and how praise and worship refocus us on eternal realities. He urges listeners to take every thought captive, cultivate humility and honesty, and let God rewrite their minds so blessing and victory become their default.

    The Voice of Faith - Part 2 - Say It Like You Mean It

    Rick Shriver unpacks the power of vocal faith: don’t just repeat scripture—mean it. He condenses the series into one directive: say it like you mean it. Using four practical steps—say it, do it, receive it, tell it—he illustrates how private confession becomes public testimony. Biblical examples (the woman with the issue of blood, David and Goliath, the centurion, Blind Bartimaeus) show faith that acts, not mere platitudes. Rick warns against hollow “learned behavior” and encourages integrity: speak fewer words but back them with consistent action so your life validates your confession.

    The Voice of Faith - Part 1 - You Can Have What You Say

    Rick Shriver explores the biblical principle that words carry creative power: you will have what you say when your heart and mouth agree. Drawing on Mark 11:23, Romans 10, and personal stories — from answered prayers about a house to lessons on anger and repentance — he urges listeners to cultivate faith-filled, specific confessions and to keep their mouths from complaining, gossip, or coarse jesting. Practical guidance includes meditating on scripture, speaking God’s promises aloud, repenting quickly for idle words, and choosing life daily. This episode challenges Christians to use their voice intentionally to invite God’s will into their lives.

    Where's the Fire? - Part 3 - In your hands

    Rick Shriver challenges believers to treat Pentecost as a daily reality rather than an annual observance. He argues that the opposite of spiritual fire is watered-down preaching and urges churches to return to Spirit-empowered ministry — preaching that ignites, laying on of hands, and personal evangelism. Using Acts 9 as the template, he retells Saul’s dramatic conversion, noting how Ananias’ obedience and the laying on of hands brought sight and spiritual power. The message emphasizes personal responsibility: receive the fire, live it out boldly, and reach those God places in your path.

    Where Is the Fire? - Part 2 - In the House

    In this episode Pastor Rick Shriver asks the provocative question, “Where is the fire?” and walks listeners through the biblical promise and purpose of Pentecost. Drawing from Matthew, Acts, Joel and personal experiences (including a life-changing trip to Israel), he explains the difference between indwelling and infilling, the initial physical evidence of speaking in tongues, and how the Holy Spirit ignites boldness, recall of Scripture, conviction, repentance and mass salvation. Rick challenges churches to preach the fullness of the Spirit, teach the gifts, and stoke a contagious, transformative fire that changes individuals and communities.

    Where's the Fire? - Part 1 - In the Heavens

    Rick Shriver challenges listeners to ask a blunt question: Where is the fire? Using a recent trip searching for a Spirit-filled church as a launching point, he explains the Pentecostal pyramid — how many churches embrace Jesus but few pursue the fullness of the Holy Spirit. He contrasts indwelling (the Spirit takes residence at conversion) with infilling (baptism in the Spirit with power) and calls believers to seek revival, discernment, and authentic charismatic practice rather than surface religion. The episode encourages intentional pursuit of God’s presence and warns against watered-down, performative Christianity.
