Rules and Tools

After a two-month break, the Rules & Tools Podcast is back!In this episode, Jay sits down with Steve for a practical conversation about what it actually looks like to follow God in everyday life. Steve shares the number one rule he lives by, along with other principles that have shaped the way he approaches faith, obedience, relationships, and daily life. They talk about the disciplines that help us stay connected to God, why Christian community matters, and what to do when you don't have a strong Christ-centered community around you. They also unpack the difference between serving God and actually obeying Him, and why our identity has to be secure in Christ rather than built around our own story or accomplishments.Steve also shares some of his favorite commonly misquoted Bible verses and explains why getting Scripture right matters. The conversation closes with a simple but challenging reminder: love that is never expressed isn't really love. We're excited to be back after some time away and hope this episode encourages you to keep pursuing God, walking in obedience, and living out your faith in the everyday moments of life.Thanks for being here and supporting the Rules & Tools Podcast!(0:00) The #1 Rule Steve Lives By(3:05) God Is God and I’m Not — Steve’s Other Rules for Life(6:56) Daily Disciplines for Staying Connected to God(9:59) Building a Consistent Walk With God(14:03) Finding Christ-Centered Community(19:49) Your Story Is Not About You — Finding Your Identity in Christ(25:26) Service vs. Obedience — Finding the Balance(31:30) Why We Should Do What God Tells Us(39:00) Steve’s Favorite Misquoted Bible Verses(45:22) Unexpressed Love Isn’t Love(51:25) Closing2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

Keith shares how he first found the help he desperately needed, what led to the very first Freedom Appointment, and how that experience became part of the foundation for the ministry that now serves people around the world. They discuss recovered memories, trauma, military conditioning, identity, and the difficult process of making sense of experiences that once seemed impossible to explain.

What happens when children are given more than an education—they are given hope, discipleship, and a foundation rooted in Christ? In this special episode, Dean sits down with Francis Ssenyonjo, Director of Set Free Ministries East Africa, to discuss the incredible work God is doing in Uganda through Christian education, child sponsorship, discipleship, and vocational training. Francis shares the challenges many children face, including poverty, abuse, and the absence of strong parental figures, while also highlighting the remarkable transformation taking place through the ministry's schools. With hundreds of teachers discipling thousands of students, lives are being changed, cycles of bondage are being broken, and young people are discovering their identity in Christ. The conversation explores the importance of education for young girls, the impact of vocational training, the success of students on national exams, and inspiring stories of former students who are now serving their communities in meaningful ways. As Francis prepares for retirement, he also shares reflections, encouragement, and a heartfelt blessing for the future of the ministry.Thank you for supporting Set Free Ministries and helping bring hope, education, and the love of Christ to children and families around the world.(0:00) Meet Francis Ssenyonjo, Director of East Africa(1:20) What God Is Doing in Uganda Today(5:20) The Hidden Reality Facing Many Children(7:04) 250 Teachers Discipling Thousands of Students(9:57) Revival Can Happen Anywhere(13:09) The Importance of Fathers and Mentors(15:46) Why Education Changes a Girl's Future(17:58) The Life-Changing Impact of Vocational Training(21:12) Excellence in Education: National Exam Results(25:40) From Sponsored Student to Medical Professional(28:12) Finding Identity in Christ(30:08) Francis' Final Blessing and Encouragement2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

In the final part of this powerful conversation, Jay sits down again with Jamie Walden and Joshua Collins to talk about spiritual readiness, courage, healing, and what it means to follow Christ in a dark and broken world.The discussion moves beyond exposing evil and focuses on how believers are called to respond to it. Jamie shares the heart behind raising awareness for missing and exploited children, the importance of stewarding our minds and bodies, and why Christians must prepare spiritually before the battle ever arrives. Together, they discuss fear, distraction, end-times conversations, cultural compromise, and the danger of settling for a shallow faith that only seeks comfort instead of transformation. Joshua also shares more of his testimony, including surviving severe abuse, finding healing through Christ, and how freedom ministry changed his life. The conversation ends with encouragement for survivors, a call to endurance, and a reminder that no one is too broken for God's healing power.This final episode is ultimately about hope, perseverance, spiritual maturity, and being prepared to stand firm in Christ no matter what comes. Thank you for following this four-part series with us.

In Part 3 of our conversation, Jay continues with Jamie Walden and Joshua Collins as the discussion turns toward the deeper spiritual battle of the heart, suffering, trust, and enduring faith.Joshua shares thoughts on the testing of the heart, the mark of the beast, and how allegiance is ultimately tied to worship and desire. Jamie and Jay discuss spiritual distraction and pray through an attack from the enemy mid-recording! The conversation goes on to explore the controversy between losing faith and abandoning it, and how believers are called to share in both the world's suffering and the glory of Christ. Joshua shares what it was like revealing his story in Bible study, and the group discusses why the Church must be willing to address painful realities while remaining grounded in hope and truth.Part 4 is coming soon.(0:00) Intro(0:33) Testing of the Heart & the Mark of the Beast(3:22) Spiritual Distraction and Prayer in the Moment(8:10) Tests Reveal Where You Put Your Trust(11:00) The Mark of the Beast and the Heart’s Desire(17:24) Losing Faith vs Abandoning Faith(20:12) Unified in Suffering and the Glory of Christ(27:13) Helping Survivors Heal From Childhood Sexual Abuse(28:33) Lumping God and Human Sin Together(30:34) Joshua Opens Up About SRA in Bible Study(33:39) Why Jamie Talks About Hard Truths in Church(37:53) How Much Should We Learn About Darkness?(45:52) Loving the Least of These as Warriors for Christ(46:52) Closing2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

Together, Jay and Steve reflect on how discipleship has shaped their lives—both through direct mentorship and through the lasting impact of teaching, books, and lived example. This conversation explores the call to be “Fully Dedicated Followers of Christ,” what it looks like to invest in others, and the four pillars of a godly life rooted in the gospel.

In Part 2, Joshua Collins shares more of his personal testimony of surviving ritual abuse and the spiritual battles that followed. He opens up about recovering memories of abuse, dealing with night terrors, and how Christ met him in the lowest moments of his life. He shares how understanding Jesus as the true substitute for suffering began to bring healing and freedom. The conversation also explores the spiritual realities behind occultism, why survivors are beginning to speak out today, and how believers must learn to view these issues through a biblical lens.Jamie Walden provides insight into the broader spiritual battle happening in the world today, discussing deception, the counterfeit nature of occult practices, and the importance of discernment within the Church. Together, they emphasize the hope of the gospel, the justice of God, and the call for believers to stand.Part 3 of this conversation is coming next week.(0:00) Episode Intro(0:43) Why Jamie & Joshua Are Sharing This Together(2:50) Sexual Immorality in the Bible(7:30) Deviancy vs Power-Basing(9:30) Recovering Memories of Abuse(12:02) God Met Me at My Lowest(15:24) Dealing with Night Terrors(19:02) Jesus as the Substitute for My Abuse(22:20) The Justice of God and the Vengeance of the Lord(24:31) Why Abuse Victims Are Coming Forward Today(25:38) When the Church Would Not Help(27:45) Finding Set Free Ministries(29:16) Demonic Oppression and Physical Bondage(32:50) What Satanic Rituals Look Like for Children(35:40) Occultism Counterfeits Jesus and the Bible(38:06) “Occultists Wear Suits” — Power and Influence(41:45) The Spiritual Pyramid of Occultism(46:30) My Family and the Lodge(47:43) Hidden Symbolism in Major Churches(49:35) Devotion to Demons Through Love of the World(53:39) Infiltration of Satanism at High Levels(55:30) A Biblical Lens on the Times We Are In(57:16) Masks and Fear in Rituals and Culture(1:01:18) The Mark of the Beast and Cultural Conditioning(1:04:15) Hidden Elements in the Founding of America(1:08:14) Epstein Files and Divination Claims(1:13:00) Abuse for Divination in My Family(1:14:13) Are We in the End Times?(1:18:35) God’s Call for Even the Wicked to Repent(1:20:30) Part 3 Coming Next2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

Some stories are difficult to hear—but necessary to confront if we want to understand the reality of evil and the hope of redemption.In this episode, Jay is joined by Jamie Walden and Joshua Collins for a sobering conversation about spiritual warfare, justice, and the reality of satanic ritual abuse. Joshua courageously shares part of his story of experiencing satanic ritualistic abuse as a child and explains why many survivors never speak about what happened to them. The conversation explores trauma-based mind control, the long-term effects of severe trauma, and why these topics are often misunderstood or dismissed.Jamie Walden also shares about his mission for justice and why Christians must take both spiritual warfare and human suffering seriously. Together they discuss how these realities connect to broader cultural conversations, including the Epstein files, and what believers need to understand about the reality of Satanism and spiritual darkness in the world.This episode is not meant to sensationalize evil, but to expose darkness, pursue truth, and point people toward the freedom and healing that Christ offers.Chapters: (0:00) Episode Intro(1:31) Jamie Walden & Joshua Collins(2:40) Joshua Collins Shares His Childhood Story (SRA)(6:55) Why Survivors of Ritual Abuse Often Stay Silent(9:15) Trauma-Based Mind Control Explained(14:50) How This Connects to the Epstein Files(17:25) What Christians Need to Understand About Satanism(20:15) Jamie Walden’s Mission for Justice(25:40) Jamie Walden’s Take on the Epstein Files(27:25) Why We Are Sharing This Conversation Today2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

This is a repost of one of our most important and challenging conversations—because the questions it raises are still being asked, and the Church still needs honest, biblical clarity on spiritual warfare. In this episode, Jay sits down with Dean Vander Mey for a raw, grounded, and deeply biblical conversation about demonization, repentance, and spiritual oppression—topics that are often avoided or misunderstood in modern Christianity. Together, they unpack what Scripture actually teaches about spiritual darkness, the reality of the demonic, and how the enemy still works in the lives of believers today.Dean shares powerful firsthand stories from ministry, including encounters in Africa and with families involved in witchcraft, revealing how access is gained, how deception operates, and how the gospel calls believers to stand in truth and freedom. The conversation also addresses one of the most important tensions in spiritual care: discerning the difference between mental health struggles and spiritual oppression, and why both require wisdom, humility, and compassion. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about deliverance, oppression, or spiritual warfare, this conversation will challenge and strengthen your faith.***CHAPTERS*** (0:00) Episode Preview (0:41) Podcast Intro (1:06) Picking back up on Deliverance from Evil Spirits / Oppression (2:34) 2 Kingdoms in a War(5:09) Christians Are Not Prepared(6:44) Demons in the Bible and Today(8:48) The Demonized Man in Africa(11:08) A Family of Witch Doctors - Little Susie(13:49) Can Christians be Demonized?(16:34) How Does the Enemy Get Access to Christians?(19:41) The Message of the Gospel: Repentance(21:25) Why Don't They Teach Spiritual Warfare?(23:19) The Man Who Wanted to Commit Suicide(25:44) Spiritual Oppression or Mental Illness?(26:15) Closing2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

What does wise counsel actually look like in real life? Who speaks into your life when things are hard and who speaks into your life when things are good?In this episode, we talk about the difference between consuming information and being truly discipled, how to recognize when your heart is ready to receive counsel, and why mentorship rooted in humility, not control, is essential for growth. This conversation is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, unsure who to listen to, or hungry for real spiritual guidance instead of surface-level motivation. We talk about stress after salvation, forgetting God when life gets comfortable, repentance, and why God must always remain our first and greatest counselor.

What really happens in a freedom appointment? Is it intense, emotional, awkward, or life changing?In this episode, we sit down with Vicki Barrens and Pearl Huizenga, leaders in freedom ministry, to talk honestly about what freedom appointments are and what they are not. We address common fears, misconceptions, and questions people often have before stepping into freedom, especially the fear of being judged or not knowing what to expect.This conversation is for anyone who feels nervous about a freedom appointment, struggles with fear of God instead of seeing Him as a loving Father, wants healing but is unsure when or how to step out in faith, or needs encouragement to renew their mind and walk in their identity as a child of God.Freedom is not about chasing a spiritual high. It is about truth, identity, and learning how to walk forward unburdened. Whether you are curious, hesitant, or ready to take the next step, this episode is meant to encourage and meet you right where you are.Chapters:(0:00) Episode preview: What a freedom appointment really is(0:29) Meet our gues,t Vicki Barren,s freedom ministry leader(3:22) Meet our guest Pearl Huizenga, freedom ministry leader(6:13) You do not have to be afraid of God(8:07) Why do they give so much time to the Freedom Ministry(9:52) We do not judge you for what it looks like if you are nervous(12:30) Freedom is not a spiritual high(15:40) Common misconceptions about a freedom appointment(18:56) How the team prepares their hearts not judge others(25:54) How we pray over and prepare the room(27:44) Understanding your identity as a child of Go(29:20) Renewing your mind after past pain(32:00) Encouragement for anyone afraid to step out in faith(35:00) When is the right time to get free(36:37) Closing thoughts and encouragement2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

In this episode of the Rules & Tools Podcast, Jay Fettig welcomes back Jamie Walden, author of Omega Dynamics, for a sobering and timely conversation on fear. Together, they explore how fear operates as the primary currency of spiritual warfare, from the fall of Adam to modern culture, and why fear is ultimately rooted in unbelief that God is truly good. Jamie draws on his background in the military and ministry to unpack how fear manifests as pride, self-preservation, and fear of man, and how a shallow gospel often leaves believers vulnerable to bondage. Jay and Jamie share personal testimonies, discuss fear within marriage and leadership, and point listeners back to the freedom found in trusting God’s love and placing our fear rightly in the Lord alone. This episode reminds us that the good fight of faith is choosing belief, trust, and identity in Christ over fear.Chapters:(0:00) Episode Preview(0:50) Welcome Back Jamie Walden + Today’s Topic: Fear(2:54) Jamie’s Book Omega Dynamics — Fear Is Currency(6:44) Macro View of Fear Responses(9:47) Fear Rooted in the Fall of Adam(11:41) The Modern Fear of Validation(14:12) Everything Is Centered Around Fear(15:05) How Do We Overcome Fear?(17:40) The Fear of Man Brings a Snare(20:13) Fear Rooted in Unbelief That God Is Good(23:27) Why the Gospel Has Become Shallow(25:05) Cowardice and Self-Preservation(27:22) The Sad Truth About Fear(30:10) Offending God vs. Fearing God(32:33) Believing You Are Truly Loved(34:37) Reserving Fear for the Lord Alone(39:56) The Lord Is With Us(42:40) Joshua, the Prophets, and Fear in Scripture(45:00) Jamie’s Perspective on the Days We’re In(47:00) Your Testimony Is Your Witness(48:52) Why People Are Fearful Without a Savior(50:38) The Desire to Be Like God(54:16) How Fear Manifests as Pride and Arrogance(55:05) Stealing God’s Glory for Ourselves(59:10) Pride as the Root — and What Fuels It(1:01:48) Belief, Trust, and the Battle for the Mind(1:03:29) Fear Within Marriage(1:07:04) How the Enemy Uses Zeal to Create Burden(1:09:57) Standing on God’s Promises to Fight the Good Fight(1:13:29) How the Fear of Man Has Impacted Jamie(1:16:23) Jay’s Biggest Fear: Fear of Failure(1:18:18) What Set Free Ministries Offers for Free(1:21:32) Closing Thoughts2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

What does love really mean? Is it just a feeling, or is it something deeper—something rooted in truth, action, and sacrifice? In this reposted conversation from our archives, we revisit a powerful and timely discussion with Dylan Rodriguez that challenges the way love is commonly understood today.So many of us are searching for love to fill a void, often placing that weight on other people and expecting them to satisfy needs only God was meant to fulfill. When we do that, love becomes conditional, manipulative, and ultimately disappointing. Scripture paints a very different picture. The Bible tells us that God is love, and in passages like 1 Corinthians, we see that real love is patient, truthful, selfless, and willing to act—even when it’s uncomfortable.In this episode, we unpack what love is and what it is not, the difference between loving and manipulating, and why confronting others in truth can actually be an expression of love. We also explore how our Heavenly Father sees us and how understanding His love transforms the way we love others. Though this episode was originally recorded earlier, its message remains just as relevant today as we continue to navigate relationships, faith, and truth in a culture that often confuses love with emotion alone.Chapters: (0:00) Episode Preview(0:36) Podcast Intro(1:02) What Is Love—And What It Isn’t(2:32) Love vs. Manipulation(3:21) When We Make People Our God(6:02) Love as an Opportunity to Serve Your Spouse(7:46) The “Love Chapter” Explained(9:54) Loving With Action and Truth(12:05) Can Love Be Painful?(14:44) Confronting a Brother in Love(17:20) Truth, Accountability, and Responsibility(20:01) How Our Heavenly Father Sees Us(22:30) ClosingSign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

In this episode of the Rules & Tools Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Pierpont to talk about what it really looks like to live a Holy Spirit–led life. From learning how to hear God’s promptings to walking in obedience even when it feels uncomfortable, Kyle shares powerful stories from his family, childhood, and ministry experiences. We discuss why God designed us to live in community and team, how hurt and fear can cause us to hold back, and what it means to stop quenching the Holy Spirit. Through stories of praying for strangers, unexpected ministry moments (yes—even in Taco Bell), and learning humility, this conversation invites believers to move beyond passive faith and into active surrender. If you’ve ever wondered why hearing God feels difficult, how to discern the Spirit’s voice, or what it truly means to give God the wheel, this episode will encourage you to take the next step in following Jesus wholeheartedly.Chapters:(0:44) Welcome Kyle Pierpont(1:52) Kyle’s Family and Background(3:37) Why We’re Meant to Be Part of a Team(4:38) Learning to Hear the Prompting of the Holy Spirit(6:04) Kyle’s Dad: A Story of Obedience to the Spirit(7:48) Dreams and Promptings in Scripture(8:22) Praying for Someone in Public(10:16) Why We Struggle to Hear the Holy Spirit(12:26) Ministry in a Taco Bell(14:40) Holding Back Because of Hurt(16:49) Hearing the Spirit of God for the First Time(19:56) Living a Holy Spirit Lifestyle(23:30) What It Means to Follow Jesus(25:44) A Childhood Backpacking Trip That Shaped Faith(28:44) Truly Giving God the Wheel(32:05) Walking in Humility(34:19) Jesus’ Sacrifice vs. the Goal of Our Lives(37:05) Closing2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

Worship is more than music—it’s a life fully surrendered to God. In Part 2 of this conversation, we explore what it means to worship the Lord with our whole hearts through obedience, parenting, stewardship, and trust. We talk about seeking God beyond just His blessings, laying down our own plans, and learning to desire His will above our own.

Bonnie shares how the Lord speaks through study, the importance of removing barriers between us and Him, and how even when we think we’re “doing nothing wrong,” there are ways our hearts can be distracted from intimacy with God.We explore speaking to God as a loving Father, understanding that our breath and every gift we have comes from Him, and how we can cultivate worship that flows from gratitude rather than obligation. From reflecting on King David’s wife to realizing our role as stewards of God’s gifts, this episode is full of encouragement to embolden your day and strengthen your walk with Him. If you’re seeking a closer connection with God, practical ways to remove spiritual barriers, and daily inspiration, this episode is for you.Chapters:(0:00) Welcome to Our New Building(0:59) Jeremiah 29:13 — Hearing God Through Scripture(2:26) Removing Barriers to God Through Freedom(4:55) When We Think We’re “Doing Nothing Wrong”(7:28) Praying to God as a Loving Father(11:10) Religion vs Relationship With God(12:12) Understanding God as “Papa”(13:33) Love God, Love People — The Gospel Made Simple(16:48) Every Breath Is a Gift From God(19:30) Withholding Worship — King David’s Wife(20:44) Stewarding What God Has Given Us(22:50) Encouragement to Walk Boldly With God2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

In Part 2 of our deep dive into the 6/7 phenomenon, we go further into the spiritual dynamics behind the movement and explore how culture, media, and subtle deception can influence worship without us even realizing it.

We also discuss whether we are living in tribulation times, the importance of discernment, and how to remain faithful in praise even amidst suffering. This episode challenges listeners to recognize the spiritual battle around them, step back to identify the enemy, and embrace their commission before Christ’s return.

The “6/7 phenomenon” has taken over culture, music, and social media, but what if there’s more going on beneath the surface? In this episode, we break down the symbolism, numbers, imagery, and messages driving the 6/7 trend and ask a serious question: is this simply art and entertainment, or something far more spiritual? We explore why numbers and sacred geometry matter, why symbols are so powerful, and why messages tied to worship are often hidden rather than spoken outright. From a scene-by-scene analysis of the viral video behind the trend to the meaning embedded in the lyrics, we examine how people can unknowingly participate in something they don’t fully understand. This conversation tackles uncomfortable but necessary questions about worship, influence, and discernment in modern culture. Is this just gangster rap—or does it reflect a deeper satanic ideology aimed at shaping hearts and minds through symbols and repetition? If you’ve seen the 6/7 trend and felt something wasn’t right, this episode will help you understand why discernment matters more than ever.Chapters:(0:00) The 6/7 Phenomenon(1:45) Why Numbers, Math & Sacred Geometry Matter(3:30) Why This Is a Spiritual Attack(6:44) Why These Specific Numbers(10:12) Unintentional Worship: How Innocent Participation Works(13:36) Satan’s Goal: Worship(14:58) The Video Behind the Trend(17:24) Scene-by-Scene Breakdown of the Imagery(21:10) The Meaning Behind the Lyrics(25:40) Why the Message Is Hidden in Symbols(28:00) Gangster Rap or Satanic Ideology?2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

In Part 2 of our conversation with Jamie Walden, we dig into the heart of repentance, freedom, humility, and what it really means to find our identity in Christ. Jamie shares why he wrote his book as “an evangelist to the church,” calling believers back to a life rooted in truth, not performance, emotion, or cultural Christianity.We talk about why repentance is often misunderstood, why so many people never experience real freedom, and how humility is the lost posture the Church desperately needs to recover. Jamie shares his experience with Freedom Ministry, the importance of confronting the beliefs underlying our behavior, and the ongoing invitation from God to walk in righteousness, justice, and a sound mind.We also discuss the dangers of the American-Dream gospel, what it means to live as people who "don’t belong to the world," and how magnifying Christ reframes everything about our daily lives, identity, and spiritual battles.(0:00) Episode Preview(1:11) Why Jamie Wrote His Book: “Omega Dynamics”(4:25) Repentance Without Condemnation(8:44) Why We Struggle to Repent(10:30) Why Most People Won’t Receive Freedom(12:04) Why Humility Must Return to the Church(14:06) Jamie’s Experience with Freedom Ministry(16:35) Believe Your Identity in Christ(19:11) Going Deeper Than Sin: Behavior Flows From Belief(20:53) The Core Message: Magnify Christ, Righteousness &Justice(23:45) How to Crush the American-Dream Gospel(26:57) We Don’t Belong to the World(28:20) Why We Can Have a Sound Mind(29:00) Closing700 36th St SE, Suite 108,Grand Rapids, Mi 49548 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]

In this message, we delve into the life of King David, a man after God's own heart. What made him so special in God's eyes? Was it his bravery in battle or his skill with a sling? No, it was his humility to say "I was wrong" and his willingness to repent when he failed. David's attributes, such as his passion for worship and his desire for a deeper relationship with God, set him apart as a true leader. In a world where information about God is abundant, David's heart cry was for a real and personal connection with his Creator. In this episode, we also talk about what it means to have a "God-given opportunity" and how easily they can be misinterpreted.

With 35 years of singing experience, Wayburn shares his first prison encounter, where he witnessed something he'd never seen before - authentic and spiritual worship that transcended the prison walls.

Join Jay Fettig and guest Steve Vander Molen on this episode of The Rules & Tools Podcast as they seek to understand God's plan and share a remarkable story of faith and loss. Steve takes us back to 2024, when his family embarked on a 1,000-mile snowmobile trip in Northern Canada. The dramatic turn of events at mile 26 changed everything. Jay and Steve dive into the heart-wrenching experience of when Steve's cousin died for 18 minutes, and how they reacted to the situation. Steve shares his initial desire for God to spare his life, but how God's plan was different from his own. They explore how this experience ultimately led to Steve's cousin's best friend coming to faith and how it relates to God's plan in Scripture. This inspiring conversation highlights the difference between our hope and God's ways, and how, in some situations, we may never understand God's plan until we reach heaven. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on trusting in God's sovereignty and finding purpose in trials.*** CHAPTERS ***(0:00) Intro (0:40) Steve Vander Molen - USA Director(1:40) The 1,000 Mile Snowmobile Trip(2:38) What Happened at Mile 26?(4:07) The First Thing That Went Through My Mind(4:52) The Hardest 2 Hours Ever(5:50) How We Reacted to the Situation(6:41) He Died for 18 Minutes(7:24) Imagine The God of Heaven(8:09) I Believed That God Was Going To Spare His Life(9:06) God's Presence in the Hospital 9:28 What Do You think I Should Do?

In this video, we're discussing the importance of discernment in our walk with Christ. How can we spot an impostor, and what are the signs of someone who diminishes the power of Jesus? We'll explore how Thomas's doubt was addressed by Jesus, and how this relates to the concept that "greater is the one who has not seen yet believes." We'll also examine the common misconception that archeology "proves the Bible is true," why this would make archeology the ultimate truth, and why this line of thinking can be problematic. Have you disrespected the sovereignty of God Almighty in your life? We'll discuss the importance of honoring God's authority and why inviting Him to come in is not a biblical concept. Finally, we'll also be discussing the divisions in the church and how this affects our witness to the world. We hope you enjoy this message!
