    Being a servant leader means that you need to adjust your behaviour to be helpful to different types of people. As a part of serving others, there are 4 main management and leadership roles that we can learn. Paul refers to these in 2 Timothy 2:2 as himself (which we'll call a "leader of…

  6. Ep. 35 Kingdom Leaders in the Church

    Churches have a variety of role expectations on leaders and not all of these expectations help people to enter the kingdom. In this podcast, we look at the church as a spiritual house, as a family and as a body and discuss how leaders can help the church in these three things. We include a...

  10. Ep. 31 Kingdom Leaders assist others to enter the Kingdom

  11. Ep. 30 Kingdom Leaders enter the Kingdom

    In this episode Steve and Wayne continue the series on Kingdom Leadership by focusing on the need for Kingdom Leaders to enter the Kingdom themselves.

  12. Ep. 29 Kingdom Leadership is Servant Leadership

    Jesus made it clear that all leaders in the kingdom should lead through serving and that they resist the use of their authority.

  13. Ep. 28 Kingdom Leadership

    The New Testament says very little on the topic of leadership so we need to pay extra attention to what it does say.

  17. Ep. 24 Touching the Surface

    Our natural world exists in a limited set of dimensions within the greater reality of the Kingdom.

They...

  19. Ep. 22 Truth, Faith and Science

    Some may find it interesting that biblical scripture and science fit well together. Science allows for critical thinking with a mind open to new interpretations as fresh data emerges. Over time as our spiritual maturity grows, those data points are our own experiences, which can lead us to new...

    Have you ever wondered what makes up the qualities of the spiritual realm? Can science assist us to understand the existence of this spiritual realm?
