Water baptism is not a dead religious ritual where people go underwater and come up the same. In this episode, Brian and Charles explore Scripture to talk about the powerful transformation that happens when participating in this Biblical comman
Jesus invites us into the same friendship that He has with the Father. Our friendships and relationships with one another are an extension of our relationship with Him. The truth is, it is impossible to love God without loving others. If we wan
Everything we do and say has an eternal weight to it. This does not mean that we live with the fear of saying or doing the wrong thing. To fear the LORD does not mean to be afraid of messing up. To fear the LORD means to hate evil (Prov 8:13).
God enables His disciples to make Spirit-inspired judgments about people, places, and situations from a place of love and compassion. The truth sets people free and gives them permission to become all that God has called them to be. 
God does not just tell us to do something. He gives us the power to do what He asks of us. God calls us to a standard of obedience that we cannot reach within our own limited human abilities so that we might lean and depend on Him rather than o
Singing about God's love and faithfulness to us is just as much worship as singing about our love for Him. Meditating on His love and pursuit of us is the most selfless thing we can do. It reminds us that we are not sufficient within ourselves
God speaks through His creation and His children have the privilege of tuning in and listening to His voice. 
God is doing some of the greatest things in the unlikeliest of places. In the places where we have had little to no expectations, God wants to redeem our expectations with a fresh understanding of His possibilities. The climate of the wildernes
Paul says in Rom 9:3 that he would be cursed and cut off from Christ if it meant that the people of Israel might be saved. In this episode, Charles and Brian explore the significance of the Jewish people in God's redemptive plan for the world a
Jesus is the Word in the flesh. He became like us so that we could become like Him. He was born so that we could be born again. He took on the fullness of what it meant to be human so that we could take on the fullness of being like Him. The in
Jesus describes a relationship with the Father that is available to us where we overflow with the things of Heaven and reflect Him in the culture. It is a relationship where our depths connect with His depths. 
Jesus would not tell believers to pray "on earth as it is in heaven" if it was not possible. Those words define what is legal for His brothers and sisters to expect. He did not create us to expect or settle for another conclusion. 
Faith in God brings a whole new dimension of logic. This logic is not limited to human abilities or circumstances. Rather, it taps into the limitless possibilities of God and enables people to reach conclusions that reflect those possibilities.
When we magnify the Lord, it does not make Him any bigger. However, it allows us to see Him for Who He really is and to interpret our situations considering the reality of His greatness and power. This allows us to come to faith-filled conclusi
It is impossible for us to be filled with the fullness of God until we know His love for us (Eph 3:19). The fullness of God is in the person of Jesus. All that you need to know about the Father is in the person of Jesus. 
The presence of the Lord draws out the fullest potential of the things, people, places and situations around us. Where we are at does not determine who He is. We get to dream and plan within the possibilities of His presence and power. 
If you want to learn about the Father, look at the life of Jesus. He is not just the good side of the Father. Jesus is the perfect expression of the Father. Whoever looks at Jesus has seen the Father. Don't be afraid to call him "Daddy". 
Most of the Christian walk is about coming into the increasingly fuller understanding of our inheritance in God. By faith in God, we have inherited the same relationship that Jesus has with the Father. If Jesus has it with the Father, so do we.
Waiting on God is a posture of prayer that grants us access into the heights of God's world. It is an attitude that says, "God, I am totally dependent on You to come through. I will not move a muscle until You come through. I have no plan B." W
The Bible commands believers to pray about everything. If it can be thought about, it should be prayed about. Prayer pulls our lives and situations into alignment with God's possibilities and merges our worlds with His.
As each part of Christ's body does its special work, the whole body grows (Eph. 4:16). God has unique, yet equally significant roles for every believer to fill in the church. We shortcut the growth of others when we do not do the work that God
Biblical worship is to lay our lives out before God as an offering. We are all worshipping something. What if we worshipped like God was the only one in the room? What if our primary focus was appropriately honoring Him? 
The beautiful thing about Biblical unity is that it lasts within diversity. Unity is oneness, not sameness. In God's glory, we are all one. Our diversity reveals the manifold wisdom of God in the earth. It shows that He is multidimensional and
In the Bible, loving other believers or hating them is equated to walking in the light or walking in darkness. How are we supposed to have a vision for 2019 if we don't see where we are going? The first step is to "turn the light on" by loving
