Ep 44: Are You All In?

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
Chris and I take time to discuss what we have been reading this week. For Chris, we are in Luke 13:22-30 discussing what Jesus meant by the narrow door, and why some who will want in will be left outside. That leads us to Matthew 22:1-14 where Jesus tells the parable of the wedding feast.
For Robert, we discuss 2 Samuel 6:1-8 and how doing the right thing the wrong way is still wrong. In fact, when we treat something God has declared sacred as common, we are sinning. Thankfully, we have the blood of Christ to cover those sins and the Holy Spirit to show us where we are sinning.
In the end, both Chris and I realize that both of our readings require us to answer the question, "Are we all in?"

Ep 43: A Journey of Transformation

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
This week, our guest Billy Morgan tells me about his journey to becoming a full time missionary. For Billy it was not a pivotal moment that lead to full time mission work in the Phillipines, but it was one step after another in obedience to God's call on his life. From a short term mission trip in college to a solo mission trip later on, Billy found God's call into full time mission work to be gradual. 
Of course, as Billy and I discuss, you do not have to be a full time missionary overseas to be on mission. In fact, God has called you to full time missions in the sphere of influence given to you every day. 
I hope you take away two things from this episode: 1) Be willing to pray "wherever you lead Lord..." and mean it. 2) Realize that often God takes a crawl/walk/run approach in our lives which is why praying "wherever" is not nearly as scary as it seems. We just need to take the next step of obedience to His call.

Ep 42: Pinnacle Momments

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
This week Chris tells us about his visit to his kids summer church camp. We discuss what some have called "camp high", however we like to call "pinnacle moments". Jesus took Peter, James, and John up on a mountain to meet with Moses in an event called the Mount of Transfiguration. See Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9.
Our big takeaway is that we should all make opportunities for pinnacle moments.

Ep 41: Seven Things to Live By - Pt 3

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
This week, we finish our podcast that turned into a three part series. It is always fun to sit down and record with Chris, but this week was more fun than normal as Chris rolls out several dad jokes. I do my best to keep us on topic.
We discuss hard work, purity, and being set apart. The final three... Colossians 3:23 calls us to work as if unto the Lord, and Proverbs has plenty to say about hard work. We discuss that it is not enough to just talk about hard work, but that we should demonstrate it and give opportunities to participate in hard work. 
Then as we discuss God's call to purity, we also discuss God's call to holiness, and how the two go hand in hand. We hope that you really enjoy our conclusion to this series, and find ways to apply it to your daily life.
The 7 Things: 1) Put God First 2) There is a real enemy and a real helper 3) Be a person of integrity 4) Be humble 5) Value hard work 6) Purity 7) Be Holy/Set Apart

Ep 40: Seven Things to Live By - Pt 2

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
Tonight we continue the discussion about the trip Chris took with his son, and dug into #3&4. Chris not only goes over what verses he prepared about integrity and humility, but he also explains one of his techniques for getting more our of God's word. We discuss how integrity and humility go hand in hand, and so we hope that you enjoy Part 2 of the 7 things to live by series.

Ep 39: Seven Things to Live By - Pt 1

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
Chris tells us about his trip with his son, and the monster fish they caught. This was not just a trip for his son's 13th birthday, but an opportunity to talk about what it means to own your faith. Chris came prepared to talk about 7 things to live by for the trip, and we only get through two of them. :-)
The 7 Things:1) Put God First2) There is a real enemy and a real helper3) Be a person of integrity4) Be humble5) Value hard work6) Purity7) Be Holy/Set Apart
First, we discuss what it means to put God first, because as Chris explains, this is the most important. Everything Chris intends to discuss builds on this principle. Matt 6:19-33 describe what it looks like to seek God first, and in Matt 22:37-40 Jesus instructs us to love God and love others.
Second, we discuss what it means to have a real enemy and a real helper. Chris takes us through a series of verses to spawn discussion with his sone. Some of the verses we cover is Eph 6:10, I Peter 5:8, Phil 2:13, and Acts 1:8. The bottom line is that we have an enemy that requires us to put armor one, and we have a helper in the Holy Spirit that is working in and through you. 
It is a great conversation with lots of practical application that we did not finish, but will continue in our next podcast.

Ep 38: Ultimate Underdog Story

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
This week Chris and I discuss the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer, and the faith they demonstrated by actively serving God. In I Samuel 14:6, Jonathan says to his armor bearer, "Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised fellows. Perhaps the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few." Now that is faith in action!
With no real expectation of winning the war, Jonathan and his armor bearer with the help of God put the entire Philistine army on the run. They had the courage to step out in faith with the expectation that God would act.
The battle for us starts before we leave the house. Sometimes that battle is proceeded by adversity as you put yourself out there and the enemy starts to notice. Sometimes we have to wait a little longer than we want. The important thing to remember is that we, like Jonathan, need to proactively seek what God calls us to do by stepping out into "perhaps".

Ep 37: Who Do You Listen To?

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
This week we pickup where we left off when we talked about King Solomon, and discussed his son Rehoboam. After the death of King Solomon, his son Rehoboam stepped into power and listened to bad advice. In fact, Rehoboam had good advice from his father's advisors, but he rejected the advice of the older generation for the advice of his friends. This proved to be the end of his kingdom. This was declared by God, but his rejection of good advice should be a lesson for everyone.
The question is, who have you given permission to speak into your life? Do you build relationships with people who are ahead of you? Proverbs 13:20 says, "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." Practically, we should find someone who can tell us to take a step back. Someone that makes time for us as we make time for them and that we stop to listen to.

Ep 36: Best Request

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
Robert starts the podcast off with what God has been showing him about his God given identity. Then he takes a few mins to discuss his observation of the anointing of King Saul in 1 Samuel, and how it was pretty clear Saul did not understand his God given identity. 
Then Chris takes us through a quick study of King Solomon beginning in 1 Kings 3 all the way through 1 Kings 11. King Solomon prayed for wisdom to lead God's people well, and God gave him both wisdom and wealth. King Solomon's prayer was an act of humility, and his obedience early on lead to blessing. Unfortunately, Solomon turned away from obedience and brought God's judgment on his children. 
In the end, our best request is for God's wisdom.

Ep 35: God Given Identity

Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2
Have you ever asked God what he calls you? Chris and I discuss what can happen when you fully understand your identity in Christ. When you know what God calls you, you will begin to do life differently. Satan attacks your identity, because God works through your identity.
So how can you learn what God calls you? Learn from others, learn from books, and learn from podcasts. Ask yourself "what are all the things that you think people say about you that are not true?" and then ask about all the things someone who loves you would say about you. Now you are getting close to your identity!
We hope that as Chris discusses his journey of discovering what God calls him, you will be able to learn the same thing about yourself.
