Conviction is part of what the Holy Spirit does in our lives. The Holy Spirit makes us self-aware of how we are Following Jesus and His Teachings. In the Book of Matthew, Jesus addresses religious people … people who thought their religious affiliations and their religious works would be enough to make an impression on Jesus. The problem, of course, is that Jesus is not impressed by works … He is impressed by people who do God’s Will. In this episode, Larry addresses the idea that Jesus will say to some, “I never knew you.”

In this episode, Jim and Martha Brangenberg discuss how to bring God into the workplace with you. They help us understand that our job, our work matters to God. Business is business, Church is Church and never the twain shall meet … this is a false theology. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as to be working for the Lord …. not for the man. Bringing God into the workplace with you just may help you discover that your mission field is your workplace.

What is Honoring to God, and what is not? Much of what we hear today in Christian circles is not about God … it’s about us. We are fixated on the idea that God wants us to prosper, dominate, be better human beings, be prophetically informed, have better marriages, and have good character. Those are all good, but these are not the Emphasis of the Bible. The Emphasis of the Bible is making God First, Honoring Him in all that we think and all that we do, and Yielding to Him in who we are in this life. That’s hard to do, and can we do that? Yes, we can. The Holy Spirit was given to Convict us of sinfulness, Convict us of God Righteous in Christ, and remind us of the Judgment of Evil things. We have the resources to Honor God everyday … if we chose to. In this episode, Larry and Pastor Shawn Morrison have a conversation about Immorality in the Church; a place where we should be challenged to run from Immorality, but in reality, we are often silent on it. Silence on the issues of Immorality is like never warning people of the dangers of walking across a freeway. Listen to what Pastor Shawn has to say about this issue.

What, exactly, is Compulsive Gift Behavior? Well, let’s say you have a real, wonderful gift of responsibility. The world needs more people like you. But, sometimes, you just can’t let things go. Sometimes, you take on more than you should. Sometimes, you get a chip on your shoulder because nobody appreciates what you do. You didn’t realize nobody asked you to do what you did. That’s Compulsive Gift Behavior. In this episode, David McKnight helps us understand how sometimes we are compulsive with our gifts, how to learn the boundaries of our gifts, and how to use them in positive ways for others …. and ourselves.

David McKnight, Executive Director of McKnight Leadership Group, believes that God has created each of us with positive gifts and talents. David’s Ministry, ‘What’s Right About You’ brings insights into how God designed us, and how that will be how we deal with conflict, motivation, and how we lead others. David shares the value of design and how God orchestrated your design as a person to enhance the life around you.

The term ‘Black Robe Regiment’ referred not to a literal regiment of soldiers that wore black robes into battle, but rather to the influential clergymen who promoted American Independence and supported the military struggle against Britain. By encouraging the Patriot Cause, those ministers helped muster critical support among members of their congregation. We are in another Revolutionary War … this War is for the Soul of our Nation, and our Churches seem to be oblivious to it. Perhaps every pastor should read about the Black Robe Regiment preachers who were so instrumental in securing our Independence from English rule. Perhaps those of you reading and listening to this should do the same, so you can familiarize yourself with these men who influenced a young Nation to fight back the tyranny of their oppressors. In this episode, Larry’s guest is Pastor Tom Parrish, a prolific Writer and Speaker who has dedicated his life to telling the Inconvenient Truth. Tom is a no-nonsense guy who doesn’t get confused about the role of the Church in a society that is out of control.

In the past, the Marketplace has not been thought of as a place for Gospel Influence, but with more Leadership Gurus using Principles from Scripture as Lead Values for their Companies, the idea of a Marketplace Ministry is just a short step away. Some say the Marketplace is the New Missionary Frontier, and CEOs and Business Owners are able to influence more people in a week than any pastor. It is an important field to consider when thinking about earning a living and doing it as an Influencing Factor for His Kingdom. Bob Willbanks joins Larry in this episode, and they share how to Connect your Faith Values with your work.
