On vacation recently, I (Jim) was asked if I were a “Christian.” I strategically responded, “No, I am not but I do love and follow Jesus.”  Why did I choose those words? Because I have found that as Americans we (it may be global, but my experience is limited) throw around the word “Christian” without recognizing its significance. Here, the word Christian is nearly synonymous with a politically conservative, gun-owning, blue-jeans-wearing, homeowner, rural American.
These could not be further the actual truth of this radical word. The word Christian means “Christ-one” or someone who is one with Jesus. To follow Jesus is a life-changing, plan-wrecking, purpose-giving, heart-altering event, and a lifelong process.
To water it down to an in-the-moment decision that somehow transcends life into eternity is manipulative at best, deceptive at worst, and contrary to everything the Bible teaches about salvation.
Nowhere in Scripture did Jesus ever call his followers to make decisions for Christ. He called them to make disciples of Christ. Matthew 28;16-20

What separates those who quit from those who finish? Knowledge? Giftedness? Raw strength? We looked at the 41 guys who finished our 65,000 Push-Up Challenge and found their characteristics in common. This week, 12 of those finishers, including Rod Handley - the guy whose push-up journey after his cancer diagnosis inspired the challenge in the first place (EP 505)- joined Jim Ramos to identify what kept them going to the finish line.

You've been taught 'hospitality' all wrong! When Jim Ramos discovered what it truly meant 2 years ago, it wrecked him. He realized that over 30 years of ministry, he hadn't been getting hospitality right, and even taught it to his kids wrong. In this episode, we hope you get a clearer picture of what hospitality really is and isn't. This will change what you do TODAY. The MAG is a weekly gathering of men in McMinnville, OR. This episode is from the Full Capacity Man Series.

Are you wondering where buzz words like “privilege,” feeling “safe,” “antiracism,” and replacing wife with “partner” come from? These come from a worldview called "Intersectionality." This week, Elmo Winters joined Jim Ramos to make a case for why this worldview is antithetical to biblical Christianity.
