Jesus Bled from His Heart to Heal My Emotions- #50
February 19, 2018 11:00 - 41 minutes - 76.3 MBIn the previous episode of the podcast we talked about the finality of what Jesus has accomplished- that He has resolved every sin issue we have. “It's done,” Jesus said from the Cross. Or- if you remember the nuance He added to the famous sacrificial word, Tetelestai. Accept it, and your free. Don't accept it, and you’ve disqualified Jesus as your high priest and subjected yourself to the bondage of rule-keeping, shadow-chasing, and sacrifice- which can’t take away sin anyway and onl...
Do you qualify Jesus and disqualify the Law or qualify the Law and disqualify Jesus?- #49
February 12, 2018 10:00 - 34 minutes - 62.8 MBIf you consider Jesus your high priest, you disqualify the Law. If, on the other hand, you qualify the Law, then you disqualify Jesus. Sounds strange, I know. So let me back it up, and let’s see if we can find freedom from the rules + chains that often shackle us to religion rather than freeing us TO relationship. Why? Because, at the end of the day, you were designed for relationship- not rule-keeping. Sacrifices reminded people of sin but never fixed the problem Sacrifices w...
Write the story you want to live- #48
February 05, 2018 11:00 - 37 minutes - 69.5 MBIn this episode of the podcast I want to tell you about something we just did with our kids, something that applies to me and to you… There’s a great passage tucked in the end of Proverbs that’s often misquoted. Solomon writes, “Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). A lot of well-intended leaders use this to endorse their grandiose plans- “God wants us to have big vision,” they say. “He says so right here, so we’re going to build a bigger building.” That’s...
Looking back to live forward- #47
January 29, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 116 MBLife must be lived forward. But, it only makes sense when we learn the lessons of the past. The final week of the year is a time when a lot of people sit down, assess the previous 365 days, and make some decisions about how things went in the recent past and what they might like to do in the near future. A sense of ease pervades the week almost by default (most businesses expect the hours to be slow- unless you’re in retail and doing the mad dash of post-Christmas returns). It’s the perfe...
Jesus over-restores all things- #46
January 22, 2018 11:00 - 46 minutes - 85.4 MBThe author of Hebrews tells us something strange. He says that the blood of Jesus speaks a better word on our behalf, now, than the blood of Abel did in the Old Testament (see Hebrews 12:24). Say what? I was always thought- and actually taught- that since Abel died when his brother Cain killed him, his blood cried out for vengeance and justice (see Genesis 4:11-12). Of course, the flip side of this was that Jesus’ blood, on the other hand, cries out for mercy and freedom! However, not...
You can’t out-run the grip of grace- #45
January 15, 2018 11:00 - 49 minutes - 91.1 MBThere’s a phrase I used to hear a lot when I played sports: “It’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings.” I know. That statement is not politically correct. Still, it’s a kick back to the days of opera when the big gal got up and belted out the final tune, a song that sometimes lasted 20 minutes or more. You could anticipate that the end was coming… but there was still much time to go. After she sang… Well, then- and only then- was the show over. Coach after coach used to tell us that ph...
Living the presence of the future… now- #44
January 08, 2018 11:00 - 44 minutes - 81.7 MBA lot of people believe that this world is winding down, that the earth may actually be burned up by fire, and that the only hope we have is for God to start over. It sound bleak, apocalyptic, and it creates a mindset that detaches us from the present in such a way that we no longer live like salt and light but live like an irritant- often by expressing our irritation with how things are going… The reality IS that our world has a way of doing things, a blueprint that seems to be its norm. ...
Sons & daughters aren’t beggars- #43
January 01, 2018 10:00 - 49 minutes - 90.4 MBSomeone told me that the Gospel is simply “one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.” On the surface, that sounds right. It connects to the idea that: The one who has everything but NOT the Gospel has NOTHING The one who has the Gospel and nothing else has EVERYTHING But, I was reading the Bible a few weeks ago and something struck me that’s given me a new way of looking at things… The back story In 2 Kings 7 we read about Syria laying siege to Samaria. In ancient ...
Your true form- #42
December 25, 2017 11:00 - 46 minutes - 84.4 MBSin isn’t just a “bad” thing, it creates a distortion of our unique form, of the greatness we were given from the very beginning. In other words, it's not about legality (Jesus settled that a long time ago: it's about your creative design.) No, sin isn’t just a “bad” thing, it’s far worse than that. In fact, the more I study the topic, and that more I gaze at the Father’s grace, the more I believe that the “moral” aspect of sin is the “least” important aspect of it. The greater issue is th...
Abundance taps into the eternal- not just the external- #41
December 18, 2017 11:00 - 46 minutes - 84.4 MBTrue abundance isn’t the result of hard work or ingenuity (though it involves both). True abundance taps into the resources of the kingdom. In other words, true abundance isn’t external- it’s eternal. The circumstances don’t dictate your reality: God does… Yes, it’s easier to look at the circumstances and “do the best we can” rather than go deep, take a look inside, and tune into the voice of God. However, it’s this relational dynamic that leads us to the first point of abundance… H...
Radical Abundance & Relational Trust- #40
December 11, 2017 11:00 - 47 minutes - 87 MBIt’s easy to “spiritualize” the promises of God- and relegate them to another time and place where they have little bearing on our physical lives today. One area we do this is “abundance.” We say things like, “God gives us true riches…” Of course, we do this to explain WHY we don’t see the provision- the radical increase- they saw back in the Bible. Here’s the rub. The New Testament tells us repeatedly that the new covenant is superior to the old (i.e., see Hebrews 8:7-13). So, si...
Redeeming Creation (or- Who cursed creation- us or God?)- #39
December 04, 2017 11:00 - 33 minutes - 61.6 MBWork changed after the Fall. Creative labor (that’s what work really is- or should be, right?) no longer had the ease to it that it had before sin entered the equation. In a real sense, the ground “fought back” with Adam. The raises an interesting question: Why did God do this? Why did God curse the ground? God said, “Cursed is the ground because of you” (Genesis 3:17). In other words, it’s clear here that the curse is a direct result of Adam’s sin. This leads us to the obvious follow...
Creative Labor (Work is worship- worship is work)- #38
November 27, 2017 11:00 - 41 minutes - 76.2 MBWe were created in God’s Image. He’s a Creator, a worker… one who adds value. Work isn’t a curse. Despite all of the jokes about dreading “manic” Mondays, work is actually a gift. In the Garden of Eden, Adam worked before sin, before the Fall, before the curse. We were designed to create, steward, and add value to the world around us. Note how things unfolded way back in the beginning: First, we were created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). Redemption restores the fractured image of God ...
God Believes in You- #37
November 20, 2017 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBSomewhere, we got the idea that faith is the strongest force in the universe- that it’s even more powerful than God. That our faith- or lack of it- restrains Him from being able to do His greatest work(s). Yes, there are a few verses in the Bible that point to the importance of faith. The problem, though, is that we pull them out of context and forget that Jesus isn’t telling us that He is shackled or handcuffed by our lack of faith… Rather, He’s empowered, because of His own faith. H...
The First Thing God Says to People Who Are Free- #36
November 13, 2017 11:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBContinuing the discussion from the previous talk, we go back to the Exodus story and look at how God first revealed Himself to the Children of Israel after freeing them from slavery. A lot of people feel that we somehow diminish the other gifts of God- particularly, forgiveness of sins- if we “emphasize” miracles. Things like healing. “Keep our eye on the main thing,” people caution. “And stay focused on the meat of the Word,” they warn, “instead of the superficialities.” Some of e...
Healing + Health- #35
November 06, 2017 11:00 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MBSomebody asked me a few weeks ago, “Why do you teach natural health?” By that, they meant something like this: “You teach grace and healing… why do we need natural health if we have supernatural power available to us?” It’s a great question. The sarcastic reply would be, “Why do you need doctors and Western medicine if we have supernatural power available? Whereas ‘church people’ seem hesitant to venture into the natural health waters for fear that they’ll contract ‘new age’ demons, f...
Reaping & Sowing AND Natural Consequences vs. Punishment- #34
October 30, 2017 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBOn the 3rd day of Creation, the “seed principle” of sowing and reaping was introduced. Many of us just ASSUME that it only has to do with plants and biology, but this principal is a “law” that we can see in every area of life… In this talk, I first define the concept of reaping & sowing. Then, I talk about the Machiavellian fallacy we sometimes import into our theology. Finally, we dive into a few practical examples of where we see real life examples as it relates to sickness, disease, “lo...
You’re Not Being Punished- #33
October 24, 2017 10:00 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBGod isn’t going to chastise you for something Jesus has already been punished for… Ride with me here… The prophet Isaiah foretold- centuries before His birth- that Jesus would bring healing by His death. In fact, he says, “He was wounded for our transgressions. He was pierced for our iniquities.” Then- “By His stripes we are healed” (see Isaiah 53:3-5). Notably, Isaiah speaks about all of the in PAST tense- as if it’s already DONE- even though he lived a long, long time before Jesus...
Everyone Can Be Healed- #32
October 21, 2017 10:00 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBSometimes, what we need betrays our theological box. So the box has to go. That is, we find ourselves facing a circumstance where we DESPERATELY need God to shine… yet it doesn’t fit the way we’ve been told He moves…. Physical healing is one of these areas. It’s a box we create, and a box that can’t withstand the pressure of reality. My experience… In the past I came in contact with two groups on two different extremes that theologically didn’t believe in physical healing. It didn’t ...
The Guilt Trip is Over- #31
October 17, 2017 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBFor some of us, it’s time to “get over it” and “move on” from the past. Let me explain. It’s easy to get stuck looking in the rearview mirror- gazing in the reasons WHY you can’t move forward... If some of the clutter in your past was your fault, you might feel like you “owe it” to others (or even yourself) to STAY stuck… If you’ve hurt others, they might actually be more comfortable with you being stuck, right? Here’s the deal- we live in an age of grace. It’s an era in which God d...
Your Pain is Subjective (Redemption series #12)- #30
October 14, 2017 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MBIt’s easy to look at our own pain, compare the cause of it to someone else’s story, then think, “Hmm… I’m crazy to be feeling like this over what’s happened to me. I’ve got it better than most people. Who am I to complain?” True. Someone always has it “worse” than you. There’s always ANOTHER story with shadier characters and darker details. At the same time, the wounds we feel are REAL, regardless of how they compare to someone else’s. And, we don’t know. How they interpret the pain the...
It Works Both Ways (Redemption series #11)- #29
October 10, 2017 10:00 - 52 minutes - 47.6 MBIt was a huge eye-opener for me when I learned that we could be radically affected by others sins against us. Sure, most of us understand this on a childhood level (that person took my toy, this friend called me a bad name, etc.). The lesson seems to take on an entirely new level of significance, though, when we place the concept in the world of #adulting. The stakes get higher, the sins get bigger, the harm becomes more lethal. It was ANOTHER level of insight altogether for me when I r...
You’ve Always Been Mine (Redemption series #10)- #28
October 07, 2017 10:00 - 34 minutes - 47.4 MBContinuing the discuss on the Redemption… and focusing on shame (Jesus bled inside Himself to free / redeem the clutter inside of us), we stumble upon the story of the prodigal son. Turns out, there wasn’t a plan to talk about the son… or his older brother. But, here we are… You see, shame causes us to choose to wear a mask rather than wearing our identity. It prompts us to be someone- or something- else, rather than being comfortable in our own skin. Such is the story of the younger...
Guilt + Shame = Gone (Redemption series #9)- #27
October 03, 2017 10:00 - 57 minutes - 79.9 MBFresh off the Advance, we walk into the subject of hiding. It’s something men are good at. Something, if we’re honest, we’re all good at. We all hide the secret parts of us. The dreams we have (for fear others will make fun of them). The wounds of the past (for fear that others will think less of us). The things we think and feel in the moment (for fear we’ll be judged). When we walk into the light, though, we can be fully known AND ACCEPTED by others. And, in fact, we can’t find that ...
Edit your story (Redemption series #8)- #26
September 30, 2017 10:00 - 45 minutes - 63.2 MBJohn wrote, “Beloved, I pray you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (3 John 2). He prays for prosperity… in all things… and in health. Notice, he wants us to abound in health and in "all things." Yet, it seems that THE SOUL IS THE MEASURE of how much we can carry- in the prosperity of “all things" and in our total health & wellness (which is far more than just physical, though physical health must be included here). What’s the soul? The soul is the m...
Clarity (Redemption series #7)- #25
September 26, 2017 10:00 - 39 minutes - 54.4 MBAfter taking a brief hiatus to discuss The Ladder & the men’s Advance material, we’re back to the Redemption series… Remember, we’re redeemed (read: set free) by the blood of Jesus. And, every place Jesus bled… well… He redeemed (set free) another facet of who we are or who we’re destined to become. With this episode we begin discussing the actual places He bled AND the freedoms He’s won for us. The first place He bled = the Garden of Gethsemane. Symbolically, this is the SAME PL...
You- OR- the inside changes before the outside EVER does (The Ladder series #6)
September 23, 2017 10:00 - 38 minutes - 52.6 MBWe get enamored with external things- the things “out there.” The truth, though, is that the INSIDE changes before the OUTSIDE ever does. In fact, the greatness of what’s going on inside of you determines the altitudes you’ll reach in the world around you. In this episode of the podcast, we take take the fifth (and final) rung of the ladder… Remember, with each rung we go higher AND closer to realizing our dreams… What = the idea How = implementation Why = inspiration Who = int...

September 19, 2017 10:00 - 45 minutes - 62.5 MBLook at EVERY significant turning point in your life- the good ones AND the bad ones. Most of them probably have MORE to do with a RELATIONSHIP than any other factor… Someone believed in you… Or someone steered you in the wrong direction… Someone called forth the greatness in you- or shared with you an amazing idea that TOTALLY transformed your outlook on an opportunity… Or someone else wounded you in some way… You see?

September 16, 2017 10:00 - 48 minutes - 66 MBEveryone seems to ask it these days- it's a "buzz word" that few of us really unpack. In this session we unpack the "why," putting it in the context of everything you do... PEOPLE that know WHAT they want to do get further than people who don't have a clue! And people that understand HOW to do that thing... well... they go higher, still... Yet those who go the farthest, the fastest... and endure... they have a grasp of what's driving them.

How- OR- Make time for the things that matter the most (The Ladder series #3)- #21
September 12, 2017 10:00 - 42 minutes - 57.7 MBWe’re all busy. It’s almost a #HumbleBrag in our culture to actually BE busy. I mean, no one actually LIKES being so busy that they can’t keep up with what’s going on, but we carry our jam-packed calendars around like badges of honor. That can be a HUGE problem with it comes to pursuing your dreams. You see, dreams require time. Concentrated, high-octane time. Some of your “best” time. And your energy. And your focus.

What -OR- Success is recipe, not a lottery ticket (The Ladder Series #2)- #20
September 09, 2017 10:00 - 50 minutes - 69.4 MBThe first step in living any dream is to decide what that dream is. Sounds obvious, right? I mean, how are you going to go ANYWHERE if you don’t first have a destination? Cristy and I go on a date every week. Sometimes, we get into this debacle… perhaps you’ve been there: “Where do you want to eat?” “I don’t know. Where do you want to go?” Suggestion made. Reply = “Anything but that!” Been there? Done that? (This works both ways- sometimes she makes the turned-down suggestion;...

Your (huge) dreams are all within reach (The Ladder series #1)- #19
September 05, 2017 10:00 - 30 minutes - 42 MBOne of my favorite events of the year is coming up, so I'm taking a short break from the Redemption series. Advance arrives every 5-7 months, depending on the time of year, and is designed to empower men to move from where they are to where they’re destined to be. It’s not a retreat… it’s an Advance.

Freedom is now (Redemption series #6)- #18
September 02, 2017 10:00 - 35 minutes - 48.2 MBIt’s easy to punt the promises of God to the future- to a time and space after we die. When do this, we turn the stories and the principles we see in Scripture into nothing more than allegories and tales about what COULD be rather than what SHOULD be in the moment. A lot of us live like this- effectively postponing the blessings of NOW, determining instead to hope for them after death. In the Bible, though, people expected God’s blessings to come in the present- they anticipated that His ...
Living in Heaven, Walking on Earth- #17
August 29, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBThe Bible outlines a few contradictory things about us- things that we need to hold in tension. First, everything that happened to Jesus has already happened to us. We were crucified with Him, we died with Him, and we were buried. We also arose with Him AND we’ve been seated with Him in Heaven. That means that, right now, we’re “here” and “there” at the same time. This is our current experience. Second, the Kingdom of God is a kingdom- not a democracy. It functions with rank, order, ...

Come in closer (Redemption series #5)- #16
August 26, 2017 10:00 - 46 minutes - 64.4 MBThere’s a rabbinical tradition that says Moses’ burning bush was always burning. Or, at least, that it had been burning for quite some time before Moses stumbled upon it. Furthermore, tradition says that God was there and was READY to speak the entire time. It was only after Moses stopped and “came in close” that God reveals Himself to him… (In the same way, it's believed that God is always looking... waiting... wanting to reveal Himself to us...)

Who you are > what you do (Redemption series #4)- #15
August 22, 2017 10:00 - 32 minutes - 45.2 MBI grew up hearing this phrase a lot in church world: “Love the sinner, but hate the sin.” The problem with that statement is two-fold: First, sin doesn’t exist apart from sinners. That is, it takes a person actually DOING something in order for sin to occur. Second, everything we do happens as an overflow of who we are. Whereas we tend to look at actions, those actions are simply symptoms of an internal reality. Just like a tree and its fruit. It’s not the fruit that makes the tree...
Judgment already happened (Redemption series #3)- #14
August 19, 2017 10:00 - 49 minutes - 68.2 MBAs He approached the Cross, Jesus said a few important things- things completely relevant to how we often feel about how we relate to God. Whereas we tend to think God is out to “get us” or “judge us,” Jesus said- “Now is the time of judgment. The ruler of this world will be cast out. And when I am lifted up, I will draw all ________ to myself” (see John 12:31f.). What was Jesus drawing to Himself? Judgment. And when was it happening? 2,000 years ago. Understanding that Jesus sai...
Our Exodus (Redemption series #2)- #13
August 15, 2017 10:00 - 46 minutes - 64.5 MBTo understand redemption, we need to understand the first time the word is used in the Bible. You see, later authors actually build on what earlier writers teach us. In other words, to understand the redemption Jesus offers (i.e, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Acts 20:22, etc.), we must understand the concept of redemption those authors had in mind. This takes us all the way back to Exodus. The first time we see the word “redeem” in the Bible is what God reveals to Moses that He is about to free His pe...
Free to be who you really are (Redemption series #1) - #12
August 12, 2017 10:00 - 50 minutes - 69.1 MBPeter tells us that we’re redeemed by the blood of Jesus (1 Peter 1:18-19). Most of us that grew up in the church know that- and believe it. However, we often have a limited view of what Jesus came to do. You see, most of us believe that Jesus achieved our redemption on the Cross. However, if we’re redeemed by the blood, it makes MORE sense that we would find redemption, somehow, in each place that Jesus bled…. In the Garden, when He sweat great drops of blood. And when the soldiers b...
Easy - #11
August 08, 2017 10:00 - 53 minutes - 73.8 MBPaul encouraged us to not stray from the simplicity that is found in Christ. His thought was, well… we tend to make things infinitely more complex. We tend to move towards complex religious systems. Jesus, on the other hand, came to make things easy. Follow me here… Moses received the Law- ten commandments which, in Hebrew, were expressed using only ten words (they have a far more economical language than we do). 613 more laws were then added to explain what those ten words meant...
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, part 2 - #10
