The Ministry Podcast

Are you at risk of becoming the kind of person you hate? We all spend time listening and learning new things, but what happens when that is as far as you take it? Join us today as we talk about not deceiving ourselves and doing something about it. 

When we were young we made questionable decisions, but as we grow we mature and learn from those things. Join us today as Pastor James Kuria from Kenya shares how he came to follow Jesus and how you can join him in for the night of prayer called a Kesha.

http://theministrypodcast.com If you are into MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu then this is the sermon for you. We are talking about the differences between our plans and God's purpose. Sometimes our plans get in our way and we feel like we miss God. In this episode we talk about how God can use even our mistakes to glorify himself. 

http://theministrypodcast.com We all face different scenarios in life. Some of them are easier than others. Some of them make us who we are. We have two options with our stories. We can share our life stories or we can bury them. Join us today as we talk about the root of the word courage and how it was based on sharing your story. As always you can find the video podcast on our YouTube channel and our website. Special thanks to AJ Gonzalez, Jacob Garcia, and Andrew Garcia for helping me film this podcast.

http://theministrypodcast.com Should Christians own firearms and what does the bible say about it? Should Christians be political and can it be idolatry? How was Ronnie violated? Join us today as we talk about these things and feel free to leave us a comment or topic idea. Thank you Miguel Garcia and Ronnie Pena for hosting with me this episode. 

http://theministrypodcast.com This one is coming to you a hair later than usual, but it's worth the wait. I have spent so much of my time flying my drone around the county to film the flooding neighborhoods for friends of mine. I have heard from so many people that have had to evacuate due to the flooding and they had no idea if their homes were flooded or not. Praise God that I have the resources to help show them their homes and show people the places that weren't safe to drive. Because we were a Federal Disaster area we were not able to podcast like normal so I put together some testimonies from my home church. We will be back in the swing of things next week so see you next week. 

http://theministrypodcast.com Should Christians be involved in Politics? Should they talk about it in church? What should the Christian community be doing about the Transgender topic in Politics today? Join us as we talk about these issues and more. Special thanks to our guest hosts Topher and Ronnie Pena.

http://theministrypodcast.com Here is our first real listener feedback episode. Thank you for your suggestions and comments. We always want to hear from you and talk about what you want to hear. This episode we took the suggestion of talking about Ephesians 5. Special thanks to Miguel Garcia and Ronnie Pena for hosting with me.

http://theministrypodcast.com Do you get tired of hearing people complain? I do. On the other hand I'm not innocent. I know it is something that needs to be worked on in the body of Christ as a whole and something that we can change. Join us as we talk about being too literal, debating just to be annoying, and what we can do to work on our attitudes. Thank you Miguel Garcia and Ronnie Pena for joining us once again.

http://theministrypodcast.com Just trying to make it through? That is something that I can relate to. I know that God has so many things in store for me, but it doesn't always feel that way. Sometimes I just want God to get me through the season I'm in and when that happens I could be missing out huge. Join us today as Josh Johnson, Chris Villasana and I talk about seeing God win instead of looking for a window of escape.

http://theministrypodcast.com Do you feel judged? Does anyone have the right to judge you? Join us today as we talk about the common questions of judging one another and the biblical precedent that scripture points us to. Today Miguel Garcia, Ronnie Pena, and I review this topic and share our thoughts.

http://theministrypodcast.com We all love our Mom's and today we are doing our part to share some of that love. This is our Mother's Day episode and we are sharing some of our favorite memories of the awesome ladies in our lives. Proverbs 31:10 "She is worth far more than rubies" Men don't forget to honor your Mother! Fun fact; it turns out that Miguel Garcia, Ronnie Pena and I all have favorite memories of food with our Mom.

http://theministrypodcast.com We've grown literally overnight. Today we have three hosts and it makes it three times better. Join us as we talk about our callings, relationships, networking, evangelism, and more. Thank you Miguel Garcia and Ronnie Pena for growing our team and making the podcast more fun and interesting.

There are a lot of ways to make money, but not all ways make you wealthy. Most ways leave you spiritually and physically bankrupt. Today we are talking about finding gold in our everyday walk. http://theministrypodcast.com

Most of us admit that we have had thoughts of depression and suicide. Today we talk about these feelings and how we need to rely on one another for help. http://theministrypodcast.com

January means new beginnings and enthusiasm. What does the new year mean to you?  One of the things that it means to me is a new chance for growth and raising my standards. It also means that I see people getting burned out from trying to lose too much weight or exercising too much. Does that mean that they weren't serious about it? Does it mean that they were lying? I don't think so.  I think most people mean well when they set their resolutions and that they don't know how to pace themselves. Join us today as we talk about new goals and revising our plans.  http://theministrypodcast.com

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.  Today we are talking about the Apple Watch that I was given for my birthday and the reason I like it so much. To be clear I don't think you need one, but it is a fun gadget to have. I have lost weight since I started using the Apple Watch and my primary use of it has been to keep track of my fitness.  As always we would love to hear from you so email me at [email protected]  

I am getting schooled while training in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and my face is bearing the marks of it. However, the more I sweat and the more I get burned the faster I learn and the farther I can go. The bible says do not grow weary in doing good. So keep moving.   

Stop talking already. Start doing. The world is full of people with plans that they swear they will start tomorrow or the moment that they find the right timing. There will always be reasons not to pursue your dreams. Stop wasting time and do something that matters.  http://theministrypodcast.com
