Can You Burn Like This

Episode 40

In this powerful episode of Be The Storm with Dr. John Eckhart, we explore what it means to experience and abide in the fire and presence of God.

The fire of God purifies, unites, empowers, exposes, and frees us while helping us become who God has called us to be. We are challenged not to settle for a one-time encounter but to continually seek a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit and allow His holy fire to keep us hungry, focused, and moving forward.

Are you ready to abide in His presence and allow the fire of God to burn within you?

The storm isn't something to fear. It's something to become.

Can You Say No To Pleasure

Episode 39

In this powerful episode of Be The Storm with Dr. John Eckhart, we are challenged to examine what spiritual maturity truly looks like. Following Jesus means learning to say no to comfort, convenience, and self-centered desires when they stand in the way of God's purpose for our lives.

Through the example of Jesus and lessons from the life of King David, we discover the importance of self-discipline, serving others, following the Holy Spirit, and choosing God's will over our own.

Are you willing to step outside your comfort zone, deny yourself, and pursue the life God has called you to live?

The storm isn't something to fear. It's something to become.

Joy Is An Essential Part 2 - Garment of Joy Put It On

Episode 38

In this powerful episode of Be The Storm with Dr. John Eckhart, we discover how the joy of the Lord brings strength into our lives and helps displace grief, fear, shame, guilt, and heaviness.

Joy is more than an emotion—it is something God gives us that we must choose to receive and walk in. Through His joy, we can draw from the wells of salvation, stand strong through difficult seasons, and experience the satisfaction that comes from walking closely with Him.

It's time to make the exchange, put on the oil of joy, and declare: The joy of the Lord is my strength!

The storm isn't something to fear. It's something to become.

Joy Is An Essential Part 1 - Joy Is A Promise

Episode 37

In this powerful episode of Be The Storm with Dr. John Eckhart, we discover that true joy is much deeper than temporary happiness. Biblical joy strengthens us, helps us walk in our God-given purpose, and carries us through trials, grief, disappointment, and difficult seasons.

The joy of the Lord is our strength—but joy is also something we must intentionally choose and receive. When we walk in God's purpose and embrace the joy of His salvation, we find the strength to overcome and live a satisfied Christian life.

It's time to choose joy, embrace God's purpose, and experience the strength that comes from Him.

The storm isn't something to fear. It's something to become.

Agape Fun Facts Part 2 – Selfless

Episode 34

What happens when the Agape love of God begins to grow and mature in your life?

In this powerful episode of Be The Storm with Dr. John Eckhart, we continue our journey into understanding Agape—the divine, powerful, and life-changing love of God.

Through the story of Jesus restoring Peter, we discover the important difference between human affection and the supernatural Agape love that comes from God. Agape is more than a feeling. It is a powerful force at work within believers that grows and matures as we spend time in God's presence, in His Word, in worship, and in fellowship with Him.

Perfect, mature Agape casts out fear. It changes hearts, transforms lives, and empowers us to impact the people and communities around us. Dr. Eckhart also shares powerful personal testimonies of how encountering Jesus radically transformed his own life and how the Father's love can bring freedom and restoration to others.

God has placed His Agape within us, but we must allow it to grow. As we yield our hearts to Him and pursue His presence, His love becomes increasingly evident through our lives.

You don't have to manufacture it. You don't have to perform for it. You simply have to let Him work in you.

Let His Agape grow. Let His love mature. Let His power transform your life—and then allow that same love to impact the world around you.

The storm isn't something to fear. It's something to become.

Stand strong. Take charge. Be the force that shapes your world.

Agape Fun Facts Part 1 – Priceless, Put It On

Episode 33

What does it truly mean to walk in Agape love?

In this powerful episode of Be The Storm with Dr. John Eckhart, we take a deeper look at Agape—the divine love that comes from God. While the word "love" can mean many different things in our everyday language, Agape is different. It is not simply based on feelings, emotions, affection, or human relationships. It is God's love deposited within us through our relationship with Him.

Discover how Agape empowers us to do what may seem humanly impossible—from forgiving those who have deeply hurt us to choosing to love when our feelings tell us otherwise. When God's divine love is present in our lives, there should be evidence of it in the way we live, forgive, respond, and treat others.

Agape is not something we manufacture on our own. It comes from God—but we have the responsibility to put it on, walk it out, and allow His love to flow through us.

Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to walk in the powerful love of God.

The storm isn't something to fear. It's something to become.

Why Wait For Heaven

Episode 32

In this powerful episode of Be the Storm, host John Eckhardt welcomes special guest Rik Collins to the studio in snowy Lisbon, Maine for a conversation that challenges traditional Christian thinking.

What if Jesus didn't come primarily so we could go to heaven?

What if the goal was never just a future destination… but a present relationship?

Through Tuesday worship gatherings, personal encounters with the Lord, and fresh revelation, Rik began sensing God whisper something unexpected: "I did not come so that you could go to heaven." That statement launched a deeper exploration of Scripture and Kingdom truth.

They unpack how much of modern Christianity has emphasized eternal reward while unintentionally minimizing daily communion. From Jesus appointing the twelve "that they might be with Him" (Mark 3:14) to God walking with Adam and Eve in the garden in Genesis, the heartbeat of God has always been relationship.

Heaven is real. Eternal life is promised. But the invitation starts now.

Why Life Sucks Part 6

Episode 31

Why does life feel stuck sometimes?

In Part 6 of the "Why Life Sucks" series, John Eckhardt and Skip Simons confront a hard truth: we don't grow by avoiding discomfort — we grow by walking through it.

Too often we spend our energy praying for rescue instead of pressing into resurrection power. We want the miracle check in the mail. The unexpected deliverance. The quick escape route. But God's higher plan isn't always rescue — it's resurrection.

Drawing from Psalm 23, they revisit the image of the valley of the shadow of death. Skip shares a powerful illustration: pride and fear build a six-lane superhighway around the valley. It looks faster. It looks easier. But it only brings you back to the beginning.

Progress is not going around the valley. Progress is going through it.
