Apostolic Mentoring

Intimidation rarely kicks the door down, it whispers. That quiet thought that sounds like you, “You’re not enough,” “You’ve failed before,” “Don’t let your hope deceive you,” can sit outside your calling like an undefeated army. We start with Hezekiah and the Assyrian threat, then bring it straight into real life: anxiety, fear, doubt, pressure to perform, and the mental loops that keep leaders and families stuck.

We’re joined by Carissa and Ogie King, counselors and marriage coaches, to connect scripture with practical psychology. We talk about why negative thinking feels automatic, how the reticular activating system trains your brain to find what you focus on, and how to “Name It to Tame It” by labeling the fear and laying the “letter” before the Lord. Then we teach a simple triangle tool that maps thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can stop chasing behavior change and start replacing lies with God-breathed truth.

The conversation turns deeply personal as we share a real story of suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and the danger of isolation in ministry. We unpack why hopelessness, not sadness, is what pulls people toward the edge, and why James 5:16 confession and honest community can be a path to healing. You’ll leave with language for what you’re carrying, steps to challenge the narrative in your head, and a vision push to get out of the tent and move from belief into faith.

Marriage doesn’t fall apart in one big moment, it drifts when someone gets tired and quietly sets the oar down. We talk candidly about what 31 years together has taught us about staying in the boat, rowing in the same direction, and letting God turn rough seasons into smooth water, even when our personalities could not be more different.

Along the way, we share the heart behind Princess Clover And The Great Woods, our new Christian children’s book focused on obedience, submission, and the power of the name of Jesus. We explain why we created an audiobook experience, what it means to translate the story for more families, and why getting faith-filled resources into kids’ hands matters so much, especially at Christmas.

Then we shift to Smooth Sailing, our marriage book shaped by ministry life, long walks, and hard-won lessons. We unpack the differences that show up in real relationships like introvert versus extrovert, early bird versus night owl, rule keeper versus “rules are options,” and how humor plus humility can keep love strong. You’ll hear stories from the road that still make us laugh, plus a more vulnerable moment about sharing pain so others can find healing.

Holiday joy can sit right next to grief, stress, and conflict, and we’re not pretending that away. We’re leaning into something stronger: intentional peace. This Christmas special of Apostolic Mentoring is a straight talk on relationships during the holidays, why chaos feels so eager to show up, and how we can protect emotional safety in our marriages and families with purpose. We anchor it in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” and we say it plainly: you don’t drift into calm waters. You choose them, guard them, and build them. 

We also share a deeply personal “glimpse into our personal journey” from a missions trip to Bangladesh, where a sudden moment of isolation becomes a prophetic warning. That word later connects to a cold, dark season living near the Switzerland border in France, where support felt far away and dependence on God had to become real, not theoretical. If you’ve ever wondered why a hard season feels so lonely, this conversation offers language for it and a path through it. 

Psalm 27 becomes our lifeline, and we talk about practical ways to change the atmosphere in your home through worship and spoken Scripture when your own strength runs thin. Then we get very actionable: slow down, breathe deep, speak gently, listen carefully, and treat peace like your calling, because it is. If the next 48 hours feel like a recipe for conflict, we’re inviting you to defy chaos and speak the Prince of Peace over your family. 

If this brings you strength, subscribe, share it with someone who needs calm waters, and leave a review so more families can find peace on purpose.

Overflow sounds inspiring until you’re staring down resistance that feels ancient, stubborn, and personal. We go to Psalm 23 and get specific about what “my cup runs over” looks like when you’re in ministry, facing spiritual warfare, and trying to stay steady without getting hardened.

We talk about why God doesn’t always remove the enemies, yet still prepares a table that keeps us nourished, focused, and confident. From David’s language to Paul preaching among false gods, we trace a through-line that matters for modern Pentecostal and Apostolic believers: you can be surrounded and still be led. You can be pressured and still be anointed. You can be opposed and still be productive.

Then we bring it all the way down to daily life. We unpack a “sea and land” kind of balance where the Apostolic Church prays with power and also shows up with excellence. The Holy Ghost is meant to produce real fruit of the Spirit that translates into Monday decisions, workplace favor, better relationships, and credibility you don’t have to perform for. We close with a challenge from the Acts of the Apostles: the church is known by what we do, and God can use faithful actions to plant, build, and reach far beyond what we can see.

A full calendar can still hide a drifting heart. We start with raw worship and prayer, then move into a practical, honest talk about why Christian leaders lose vision without any big scandal or dramatic moment. Sometimes we are not burned out or confused about our calling, we are simply buried. The work keeps coming, the needs stay loud, and before we notice it we shift from building what God spoke to maintaining what is in front of us. 

We dig into the real danger of vision drift: it is quiet, subtle, and it often happens while we are still being faithful. We explore how exhaustion, noise, and fear can shrink a God given vision into something “manageable,” and why that internal feeling of being off matters. Then we bring it back to Scripture and execution with Habakkuk 2:2, focusing on why written vision has a greater chance of becoming reality than ideas we only carry in our head. 

From there, we get extremely practical with leadership rhythm, weekly planning, and the discipline of deciding what deserves your best energy each week. We also talk about the value of a 90 day review to fight drift and rebuild alignment, and why “clarity brings peace” is not a slogan but a spiritual outcome tied to God’s presence. If you lead in ministry, lead teams, or simply want better focus and faith based productivity, this will give you language for what you feel and steps for what to do next.

An open door can be right in front of you and still feel out of reach until you make one decisive move: get in the Spirit. From the start, we’re stirred by reports of revival, baptisms in Jesus’ name, and fresh testimonies that remind us the church isn’t shrinking in the last days, it’s being positioned for increase. 

We’re joined by Evangelist Friend, whose story and ministry have taken him from darkness into Spirit-led purpose, including missions work connected to Mongolia and global crusade environments. He builds a clear, biblical call from Revelation 4: the invitation to “come up higher” is not reserved for a select few, it’s for whosoever will. We talk about how God speaks, how calling becomes clear, and why spiritual authority grows where worship and intercession become real life, not occasional moments. 

Then the conversation gets practical and protective. We address the gifts of the Spirit and why anointing must stay governed through pastoral submission, humility, and accountability. We also dig into the difference between appetite and hunger, how distractions become “weights,” and what it looks like to lay them aside and press forward with endurance. We close by praying for nations, for ministers, and for everyday saints to step through open doors and believe for end-time harvest. 

Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs fresh spiritual hunger, and leave a review that helps more leaders find Apostolic Mentoring. What’s one “weight” you’re choosing to let go of so you can come up higher?

If we say we want revival, are we willing to embrace the leadership structure God uses to sustain it? We wrap up the final apostolic mentoring session of 2025 with a bold end time vision rooted in Revelation’s promise of a multitude no one can number and a sober warning that the church can’t afford to drift into comfort, indifference, or selective celebration when God is calling for kingdom alignment.

A dream sets the turning point: the global church stands at a crossroads. The message is simple and intense, make room for the offices of apostles and prophets or risk becoming spectators in the last days harvest instead of the tip of the spear. From there, we talk plainly about the attitudes that paralyze growth, jealousy, competition, and the quiet danger of mislabeling. If we only support the ministry roles that feel familiar, we end up resisting the very governance and confrontation God sends to mature the church.

We ground everything in Ephesians 4:11-12, walking through the fivefold ministry as God’s design for equipping the saints and building the body of Christ. Fivefold ministry is not a buffet and not a hierarchy; it’s a complete framework where each role strengthens the others. We also connect honor to spiritual fruit, including the warning and promise found in Matthew 10:41, then close with a corporate prayer of repentance and a charge to start the new year differently.

If this challenged you, share it with your leaders and friends, subscribe for more mentoring sessions, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. What do you think your church needs most right now: clearer roles, deeper honor, or real repentance?

Something is missing when our faith depends on a personality, a platform, or a perfectly delivered message. We open with prayer and then go straight after the core burden of this mentoring session: God is restoring authentic and consistent kingdom power, and He’s calling us past hype and into real relationship with Jesus.

We talk about a global kingdom mission to equip millions to reach billions, and we keep the conversation anchored in the fivefold ministry, the gifts of the Spirit, and a steady expectation for Holy Spirit outpouring. Along the way, we share testimony and vision that stretches our faith, including the kind of breakthrough that reminds you God still heals and still moves. But the goal isn’t a moment, it’s a life that carries presence.

The turning point is simple and confrontational: personality can draw attention, but only the presence of God breaks chains. We unpack how God dismantles false dependencies so people encounter Christ, not just a communicator. With 1 Corinthians 2 and John 15 in view, we get practical about what actually produces fruit: abiding, submission, time with God, and a lifestyle of prayer. We even share everyday moments of praying in public and refusing to be ashamed, because kingdom power has to work outside church walls too.

If you’ve felt the nudge toward “deeper waters,” this session puts words to it and prays you into it. Listen, share it with someone who’s hungry for more, and then subscribe and leave a review so more leaders and believers can find the path from shallow routine to real abiding.

A man can preach worldwide and still be one phone call away from the edge, and that’s why this conversation matters. We’re joined by Brother Charles G. Robinet, a globally known evangelist and former missionary, for an honest, faith-filled talk about restoration, prayer, and the kind of hope that interrupts suicidal lies.

We trace his story from early faith to backsliding, the US military, and a stunning moment of divine intervention: a missionary who had a dream from God waits at an airport with nothing but a name and brings him back to an altar. From there, we move into frontline missions and Pentecostal revival, including a Muslim revival in the German-speaking nations marked by compassion, refugee-camp outreach, and powerful testimonies of Holy Ghost infilling and baptism in Jesus’ name.

Then the conversation turns personal and practical. We dig into tarrying and lingering in the presence of God, why “transactional” prayer burns out, and how relational prayer learns to listen. Brother Robinet also shares his own battle with depression and a near suicide attempt, and how God used one timely call and a season of healing to restore his future. If you need Christian encouragement, mental health hope rooted in faith, or a clearer way to hear God’s voice and obey quickly, this will meet you where you are.

Success has a scoreboard, but who decided what points count? We start with raw worship and real revival reports, including churches uniting and hundreds receiving the Holy Ghost, and then we turn toward the question that quietly shapes every ministry decision: what do we mean when we say “successful”? 

Dr. Jackson joins us with stories that feel almost too familiar if you’ve spent time in Pentecostal leadership, like the moment a simple ride in a rental car turns into someone shouting and speaking in tongues. From there we talk about the fivefold ministry, the freedom of God to work outside our plans, and the hard prayer of surrender: cancel my thoughts and let your purpose lead. Along the way we pause to pray, because Apostolic mentoring is not theory to us, it’s lived obedience. 

Then we challenge the metrics most of us inherit without noticing: attendance, buildings, and cash. We don’t deny those numbers exist, but we refuse to let them define spiritual success or church health. Instead, we name deeper measures that actually build a Spirit-filled church that lasts: discipleship, evangelism, and fellowship. The conversation lands on faithfulness, not hype, and on benediction over reputation, with a reminder that you don’t control outcomes, you control obedience. 

If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a leader who feels pressure to “produce,” and leave a review so more people can find Apostolic Mentoring.
