LIFE IN THE PRESENCE BONUS 1: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
In our recent Prayer and Perspectives series, dealing with covid19 and the multiple challenges surrounding it, we’ve talked a lot about the need for truth and wisdom. We’ve discussed the fact that God doesn’t give us a spirit of fear but of Power and Love and a clear sound mind. We’ve talked…

STREET FAITH VIDEO 14: What We Can Learn From The Global Church
The church hasn't been shut down by COVID 19 restrictions. The church has been deployed. Forced to become creative and engaged in new ways, outside the walls of its buildings and programs. What can we in the so-called Christian west learn in this moment from our brothers and sisters who've been...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 13: God Can Turn Evil to Good
“I know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes…” Nice sentiment. Right? But what about a global pandemic. Can God turn that to good? Really? Yes! How? Through us. And in us. Right where we are. Trusting Him. And doing what we’ve been...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 12: Raising Up Healers and "Doing the Stuff"
Health care workers are overloaded. Help lines and websites are jammed. Major nodes of the US internet system have seen so much traffic that they’ve locked up or crashed, multiple times in the last couple weeks. The twelfth chapter of Romans describes the gifts that the Spirit of God pours out to...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 11: Freedom from Fear and Grief by Faith
Terrifying predictions. Panic inducing potential scenarios. Questions about what lies ahead for our future and that of our children. The factors combine to create a culture of fear. A paralyzing fear and a grief over things that haven’t even happened yet…and may never happen. Sort of a...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 10: Outrageous Prayers of Expectation and Faith
The God of the bible is the God of our here and now! He is not an idea, or an opinion, or the product of weak wishful thinking in times of crisis. He is the God Who Is There! The God Who sees and hears and answers and promises…and acts! He is not a man, that He should lie. We can trust what He...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 9: Why Worldview Matters Now More Than Ever
How do we see the world? What do we do with “the facts”? How do we set priorities? And policy? Especially now! How do our leaders do so? What is the guiding grid for it all? The only truly reliable view of the world is the one that flows from God’s heart and His Word. And far from being wishful...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 8: An Atmosphere of Kindness
Regardless of what the headlines say or what's going on in our lives and communities right now, we can all still care and reach out in some way. And we can all have a part in creating an Atmosphere of Kindness.
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 7: Equipped with God's PPE...The Armor
What is God doing right now? What is He calling us to do in this moment? And how has He prepared and equipped us to engage for the Kingdom today? To deal with some of the real threats behind COVID 19. We have masks and gloves and lysol wipes and such for a trip to grocery store or the gas…

STREET FAITH VIDEO 6: Young People and COVID 19 Anxiety
Today, in “Young People and Covid 19 Anxiety,” we will be praying and talking through talking and sowing peace and hope and healing right where we are with our kids. And our teens. And our young adults. And their friends and our young friends. They need our attention right now. We need to redeem...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 5.12: The Way Things Really Are
Has your identity changed with advent of the COVID 19 Crisis? Has your perspective changed? Who do you think you are? How do you see yourself “fitting in” today…in your family? Your circle of friends? Your job? Are you able to make a real difference in anyone’s life? Or are you just one more…

Adoration: A song for the moment
Just take a break from all the crazy and watch...and listen. And share if you want. Peace!
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 5: Confronting a Spirit of Fear
In John 14, Jesus promised to give us peace unlike anything the world or its systems can offer. Because He overcame the world and its systems and threats. All of them. And according to Paul, He’s been seated in heaven above all the now defeated would be rulers and powers and every name that can...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 4--COVID 19 Prayer and Perspectives: Peace and the Presence of God
Jesus said, "I give you peace, and it's something entirely different from what the world and the world system offers." The peace that Jesus gives is something entirely different. The world’s peace depends on…the world’s limited, bent and broken wisdom. The peace of God is a fruit of the Spirit....
-
Marketplace Kingdom 5.11—It’s Time For Us All to Grow Up
We need to pray. We need God’s wisdom. All of us. Now. Because even now, in the midst of the current local, national and global crisis, the same old conflicts have found a way of emerging in our public discourse. It may actually be worse now that most of our interactions are taking place online,...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 3--COVID 19 Prayer and Perspectives: The God Who Is There:
Our God is never missing in action. He never takes a break. He’s always there for us. No matter what. And His intention for us is always good. In whatever ways the thief comes against us to kill, steal and destroy, God is there to take our part. To love and heal and restore. And, in Jesus, that...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO 2--COVID 19 Prayer and Perspectives: An Unshakable Kingdom
Today, the headlines continue to be dominated by stories of panic, fear and frustration in many places. Localities struggle to get adequate medical supplies. Authorities struggle to discern the wisest approach to containing the infection and keeping folks as safe as possible. Many people are...
-
STREET FAITH VIDEO--COVID 19: Prayer for China, Medicine, Jobs, Finance and Peace Today!
This is our very first STREET FAITH video. And…This is the first in a series of live events, both video and audio, which we’ll be releasing to help our listeners here in the US and around the world understand the times we’re going through and know what to do during the global COVID 19 crisis.…

Marketplace Kingdom 5.10--Unafraid!
Unafraid! We recorded this podcast before the coronavirus became the dominant headline in the world, but the message is perhaps more important now than ever. The first century Christians had a word that they used to remind each other of the peace they had in Christ. Always. In the midst of all...
-
What Do We Really Believe About Sin and Why Does It Matter?
Do we really believe that the Kingdom of God is breaking in…here and now? Then what are we doing about it? If we want to make an actual difference in our world and the lives of the people around us, we need to get serious! About having real conversations with real people outside of our own boxes...

more -
Marketplace Kingdom 5.7--This Is What the Kingdom Looks Like
Stories have power. They take ideas, or truths, and dress them out in real life flesh and circumstance. Jesus spent a lot of his time telling stories. Parables. Chances are that many if not all of them were based on actual events that he seen or heard about, with names eliminated. But he always...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 5.6--Not Ashamed!
We’re not ashamed of the gospel. We’re not ashamed to be crazy in love with Jesus and running hard in pursuit of His Kingdom. And we’re not ashamed to tell people about it. And about what we do. And why. We’re not about building churches or organizations. We’re about building and equipping THE...
-

-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.21--Faith and Life on Campus (Part One)
How does a Christian college student navigate Faith and Life at a secular university? What are the blessings? What are the opportunities? The challenges?

-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.20--He Cried
There are times when we look at the brokenness in the world around us, far away and close to home, and we can't help but weep. Often over the sheer weight of the pain we see in others' lives, and sometimes even more acutely as we share in that pain while sharing life with them. In the here and…
more -
Marketplace Kingdom 4.19--Increase the Increase
Sometimes we pray timid prayers. And when we do we end up living timid lives! But God wants more for us. He expects us to come boldly to His throne and receive His mercy. Then He expects us to do what the Lord Jesus told us to do. Go out...Do the same works that He did...and greater works! What...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.18--Special: Thoughts and Prayers...and More!
The tragic events of last weekend’s shootings have occupied the headlines and weighed on our hearts as a nation. We as believers need to step into the gap in prayer and in conversation with those around us. We need to listen honestly and speak compassionately…and be a source of wisdom and hope at...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.17--The Name of Jesus
More and more, it seems like we seldom hear the name of Jesus spoken in public or in the media unless it’s a subject of ridicule or used as an expletive or a profanity. We’re all familiar with the commandment, “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain”, and yet everywhere it is…

Marketplace Kingdom 4.16--Trusting God In Everything: A Conversation with John Nzomo and Kennedy Indimuli
Our Kenyan friends, John and Kennedy, share about the growing impact of the gospel and God’s Kingdom in the own lives and their home region in Kenya. Challenging? Yes. Difficult? At times. But powerful and effective in seeing lives and communities change? Definitely. Listen in on this frank...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.15--God Is Bigger: A Conversation with Gordy Engle
Jesus told us to seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness first, and trust that everything else we need in life would come to us. Now some people quote this blithely, as though it should be the easiest thing in the world. But if we’re honest, we know that it’s not easy. There are times when...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.14--Influence Part 2: Salt and Light Wherever We Are
We talked on a recent episode about how everybody is an influencer. The question is what kind of influence is exerted at any given time or place. Do we hide our Christianity when we’re with certain groups of people, or in certain social situations? Do we have our lives divided up into neat...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.13--Native Strong: A Conversation With Jason Huele
This episode explores an exciting emerging outreach to a forgotten nation right here in North America. Jason Huele has a vision and a passion to bring the transforming power of the gospel to the indigenous peoples on reservations and in cities across the US and Canada. People struggling and…

The Intensive 9: Strategic Catalytic Presence--The Nows and Whens of Redeeming Our Time
When Jesus confronted the man who was possessed by a “legion” of demons, they recognized his power and authority, but challenged him anyway. They cried out, “Have you come to torment us before the time?” What they failed to understand was that all of history had led to that moment, and the…
more -
The Intensive 8: Right Where You Are--When Influence, Placement and Purpose Converge
You are important to God’s Kingdom RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE! Your purposes and best impacts aren’t necessarily out there somewhere in the future, in some other place, with some other people, doing some other thing. You may well have been prepared for such a time as THIS. Doing what you’re doing, where...
-
The Intensive 7: The Tapestry of Trajectory--Your Passion, Zone and DNA
You have a specific Kingdom purpose and you can maximize your impact and influence if you zero in on the areas for which God has been preparing you all your life. The rich tapestry of life experience, joys and passions, your spiritual and natural “wiring”. Your Destiny, your Nature, and your...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.12--Who Is This Risen Jesus?
The tomb is empty. The veil is torn. Jesus is alive, risen, ascended, and reigning! Yet people in the world around us continue to insist on following versions of Jesus that have been created to serve their own viewpoints...their own agendas. Even Christians at times succumb to the temptation to...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.11--SPECIAL:We're Standing With You
Today we're releasing a special episode of Marketplace Kingdom, dedicated to the 300+ brothers and sisters in Christ who have been killed in the nation of Nigeria in the last month, and the countless others who have been displaced by having their homes and churches burned and other pressures…

The Intensive 6: Transformation and Reading the Times and Speaking in Tongues at Starbucks--Kingdom View Part Two
Have you ever been involved in a conversation and realized that the person you were with had no idea what you were talking about? Your viewpoints were so dissimilar that it was like you were speaking a different language? As Christians, we need to engage those around us in ways that they can...
-
The Intensive 5: Seeing What to Do and Why--Kingdom View Part One
The message of the gospel…the good news for here and now…continues to be the same as it was when Jesus declared it over 2000 years ago. The Kingdom of God is at hand. It’s right here. It’s breaking in on our reality and it’s radically other than anything anyone else in the world has to offer!
-
The Intensive 4: It's Time--Factors in Seeing the Fullness of Now
It seems like every other story in the news today is written in a way that’s consciously intended to create a sense of urgency. The writers appear to think that if it’s not urgent, it won’t capture your attention. You’ll ignore it. But like the story of the boy who cried “WOLF”, eventually people...
-
The Intensive 3: Creation, Purpose and Kingdom Life--Discerning Design and Destiny
Christian thinker Abraham Kuyper wrote “There is not one square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry MINE!” If this is our starting point as Christians, the implications are startling. There may be spiritual war in personal...
-
Marketplace Kingdom 4.10--Influence
You really are important to God’s Kingdom…right where you are. You may not have an impressive title on a business card, a corner office at work, or a best-selling book. You may not be a community leader or an elder at church. But you have friends. And family. People you interact with at work and…

Marketplace Kingdom 4.9--Speaking and Standing in Boldness and Truth
Many Christians are just plain afraid to stand up and speak out about their faith and crucial issues in public. They’re intimidated. They don’t want to get into an argument. They don’t want to “offend” anyone. They don’t want to be ridiculed or mischaracterized by hostile people who hold…
