1208PODCAST

Resurrection began on Easter as Jesus became the firstborn of the dead. But the Bible's wider portrait of resurrection shows us not only that we're the secondborn, but that resurrection has already begun in us now.

Most evangelicals preach that Jesus didn't come looking to take over through power, politics, and violence, but our actions the last few years have shown that we only believe this theologically, not practically. In this Palm Sunday message, Jamin reminds us what the upside down kingdom of world of Jesus is really like, and that if we are to truly treat him as King, we will have to live the same way.

The world of Contemporary Christian Music has changed over the last few decades into the world of the Worship Music Industry. While countless great worship songs have come out of this movement, so have many dishonest and theologically flawed songs. As worship music grows more and more plentiful, we must learn to be wise in the kind of worship music we expose ourselves and our churches too.

For many, worship music is just a thing we do before the message is preached. But in the Bible there are often supernatural components and manifestations that overlap with music. We take a look at a few of these Biblical stories as we kick off our new series on worship music.

Demon stories throughout the gospels are often quick and sometimes confusing. In this message Jamin explains deliverance ministry by using both Scripture and the common methods and traditions of practiced deliverance ministers—especially those with Ph.D's in counseling ministry.

In this episode, we had a brave soul that was willing to come up on stage and allow us to guide them through inner healing within their own mental sacred space. (We talked about how to create one of these spaces in our episode, "Creating a Sacred Space in the Mind," S14, E2.) As we did this, everyone got a chance to see how this space can be used to engage the Holy Spirit and how he can bring about inner healing as he guides us through our painful memories.

Everyone that believes in God eventually has to face a theological conundrum: God loves us and has all the power, yet unloving things happen to us that he could have technically prevented. This causes many to feel as though they need to forgive God.

But that can't be right because God cannot sin as it's against his very nature. Therefore, there's nothing we need to forgive him for, for he owes us no debt. How then, do we deal with the barriers we've created that hold God far away from us due to the pain and suffering we've endured in this world? How do we release him from a blame that doesn't belong on him? That's what we address in this message within our inner healing series—for if we want to get closer to the source of inner healing, we need to first break down the barriers we've put up between us and God.

There are some people who, for whatever reason, are quite capable of forgiving others but incapable of forgiving themselves. Such people might even need to ask others to constantly forgive them for something they've already been forgiven for.

In this message we talk about the spiritual importance of not just forgiving others for their sin, but forgiving ourselves too.

To summarize Jesus's teachings on forgiveness: do it always and do it quick. That's a hard lesson to learn and a difficult one to process. In this message Jamin talks more about what forgiveness is and isn't, and why it matters from a spiritual perspective.

In this deeply experiential message, Jamin leads 1208 in creating a sacred space to meet with God in the mind, which is a spiritual tactic that has proven itself effective for him and others over and over throughout the years.
