Godly Passion, Holy Flame
by Kevin Mote
A clarion call to the men of God in the TriCities and beyond. This ministry exists to challenge and inspire you, and to light a torch of holy fire within your heart, that you might serve and love the Lord God Almighty with all the passion of a warrior. My name is Kevin Mote. I'm just another dude trying to love the Savior with all my heart and mind and guts. I'm passionate about Scripture, I'm passionate about the Kingdom, and I want to do nothing more than to spend the rest of the breaths left in these lungs to tell people about the King that rescued me. I hope you find that this podcast is all about Him and not about me, but just in case you'd like to know a little bit more about the guy you're listening to: I'm a grey-haired husband and father of four. In my day job I'm the manager of a software group working for a government-sponsored environmental cleanup company. But my dream is to someday go rogue and start my own cloud-sourced software company building f

The Old Rugged Cross
This week we will be celebrating Good Friday. And, of course, words like "celebrating" and "Good" don't quite feel appropriate for the atrocious execution that took place on this day. But it's my goal today to remind you of some of the reasons that we have to "cherish that old rugged cross."…

Introducing: Project Philippians
Today I'd like to invite you into a sneak peak of a new project that I have been praying about for months. It is an ambitious new venture -- one that could only be accomplished if the Lord is in it. But, if He is, I believe this project may have a lasting impact in the spirtual journey of many...

Back Forty
Regardless of how old you are or how many years you already have under your treads, your story is not finished yet. Neither is mine. And the challenging question that has been swirling around in my head recently is, "What am I going to do with the time I have left?" As I've been meditating on…

A Posture of Praise
Psalm 63:4 calls on us to "praise the Lord as long as we live, lifting up our hands in His name." For some of you, this gesture of raising hands to praise God might be perfectly natural for you. Others are a little less comfortable with this type of expression in their worship. But regardless of...

Unto Us A Child (Isaiah 9)

Quenching a Parched Thirst (Ps 63)
AW Tozer once wrote, "Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they had found Him the finding was all the sweeter for the...
