Fire On Your Head

Join us this week as we finally have back on the show author and international speaker S.J. Hill. He joins Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner as we talk about judgment.

We tried to discuss and answer some of the following questions: Does God really send disasters and calamities to cities and nations in order to teach its people lessons? If so, does it work? Does a ‘rapture mentality’ produce a people interested in what happens in the earth during their generation? Does the Church have way too pessimistic of an outlook when it comes to God’s involvement in the earth today? Does the Church embrace too much fatalism when it comes to dealing with every day events and natural disasters as they happen around the world?

How Is The Church specifically, and the culture in general, supposed to deal with ‘doom and gloom prophets whose ‘prophecies’ don’t come to pass? No, we’re not talking about fringe groups but ones who are more mainstream and accepted in both evangelical and charismatic circles.  

And don’t forget to visit SJ’s site at http://www.sjhillonline.com and his new podcast over at  http://www.enjoyinggodpodcast.com/

This week we've got on Fire On Your Head two previous guests, together on the same show. Too much podcast for one podcast, if you ask me. Join us as FIRE School of Ministry teacher Brian Parkman, Joel Crumpton and Steve Bremner discuss some issues related to faith, healing, and receiving from God, and how we have the sure written word of faith and don't need special "rhema words" from God about every decision we make.

Joel and Brian both share things they claim took them over twenty years to learn that they wish they knew earlier. What are those things? Listen to find out.

Join us again as I (Steve) talk with missionary Mark Burgess about the necessity of discipleship, but also the practicalities. An important point that seemed to be emphasized is that you influence and teach people in your area of influence, and should not exclude yourself from straightforward commands of Jesus Christ just because you're not a "clergy member" or pastor.

We are ALL called to make disciples!

Is the church service the most important thing a pastor should be focused on? What about his or her sermon?

Did Jesus teach his disciples they must have a splashy web page on the internet?

How does accountability fit into the role of being discipled and making disciples?

Is it possible to be discipled by the pastor of a large mega church through media such as internet and books?

Listen and be challenged as we discuss these and other points that came up in the discussion.

If you have not had a chance yet, you should take the time to listen to the previous podcast, Are You Making Disciples? I did with Mark, an individual whom he and his wife are living this out. In the mean time, since I don't have a lot of writing on it either on Fire Press or my own site, I encourage you to check out some writings of another fellow missionary I've been getting to know better named Shaun Wissmann. He currently writes articles for Theology 21, and his articles for them as of late seem to really be meditating a lot on the subject of disciple-making.

Join us this week as Brian Parkman, Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner discuss who we are in Christ, and just what kinds of things were accomplished at the cross that are now ours to walk out. You might want to listen to this one over a few times, as we cover lots of good points and Scriptures, and seek to help each other understand we don't need to twist God's arm in prayer to do certain things.

You will find this to be a very refreshing conversation.

Enjoy!

This week we change gears again and interview Mark Burgess. Mark and his wife Anna and kids have been living in Peru for a few years now, and currently are responsible for upwards of 70 people actively being discipled in their cell churches in Chorillos, located on the Pacific coast of Peru. We talk about what it is to be making disciples and building missional communities, and why the Great Commission is not just a call to make converts, but disciples.

Are you multiplying yourself into other people? What about those who you call 'disciples'? Are you actually discipling others or keeping them at a distance, teaching them with words or studies, but unwilling to allow them access to you?
