Fire On Your Head

This week our episode centers around a sample chapter from my new audiobook for Nine Lies People Believe About Speaking in Tongues which is finally available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

Links mentioned in the show:

• One Bloody Road: The Glorious Way of Discipleship by John Garrett -- this is the book I'm currently doing the narration for, and until Mar 3rd you can get the Kindle version for only 99 cents!
• How to Get Audible's Audio Books for Less than $5 each

Book Description for Nine Lies:

Discover the Biblical truth about the controversial gift of speaking in tongues!

Have you ever been told that speaking in tongues is "not for today?"

Maybe you've heard people speak in tongues...and it seemed weird. You thought to yourself, "This is too strange to be God!"

Or, maybe you believe that people can still speak in tongues today...but it's not for everybody.

Whether you're skeptical or intrigued, whether you speak in tongues or don't, this book is for you!

In Nine Lies People Believe About Speaking in Tongues, Steve Bremner biblically confronts myths about speaking in tongues head-on and answers some of the most common questions about this controversial spiritual gift.

You'll get answers to questions like:

• Do I get baptized in the Holy Spirit at salvation...or is that another experience?
• Is tongues only for Charismatics and Pentecostals?
• Am I able to speak in tongues without an interpreter?
• Can I speak in tongues whenever I want?

Discover for yourself what it means to speak in tongues and step into a whole new level of personal encounter with the Holy Spirit!

Update:

You may have noticed I've been posting fewer podcast episodes in recent months as well. I haven't gone anywhere, but I have added a new habit to my lifestyle that in some ways has interfered with the time in my routine I used to have for writing and recording. I've been going to the gym.

For the first time in my adult life, I have a gym membership, and I have lost almost 26 lbs since July 2nd.

I've also likened speaking in tongues to a workout for your inner man the same way hitting the gym, using weights and cardio machines are a workout for your physical body.

Today's podcast is half stream-of-consciousness and half re-iterating thoughts from my blog post about this from a few weeks ago that seemed to really resonate with people and encourage people to pray in tongues more.

Enjoy!

We have an exciting opportunity to translate our book Nine Lies People Believe About Speaking in Tongues into Spanish so we can distribute it in Peru where we serve as missionaries. We can’t do this without your help. 

The cost will be spread over the following stages of the process:

1. The translation of our book 9 Lies People Believe About Speaking in Tongues into Spanish, and two other books of mine if we exceed our minimum budget.
2. Hiring an editor for the Spanish translation(s) upon completion.
3. Artwork and typesetting of the book(s).
4. Printing copies locally (here in Peru where we live). In order to get a discounted rate, we will need to print a certain minimum number of copies.

Please click on the link below for a detailed breakdown of costs and our goal.

Other reasons we need your help:

• The majority of the people we minister with and who we disciple in Peru don’t read or speak English, so it’s in our best interest to give books like this to them in their own language.
• The opportunity for you to partner with us in this and be involved in the process of getting this into the hands of Peruvians in both the suburbs and shanty towns, as well as the jungles we minister in, and the high lands.
• We’ve found over the years as we’ve minister with regular support and special donations, that those who give also pray for the success of what they’re sowing their hard-earned money into. We believe God gave us this particular book to remove the obstacles in many people’s way so that they could walk in the Spirit and exercise this particular gift, and as such, we know you won’t just be financing this, but joining us in prayer for its success and fruitfulness.

Enjoy today's show which also includes ministry updates and some testimonies.

This is the second half of the discussion I recorded with Dave Edwards a few months ago. We discussed preterism and futurism, which basically are diametrically opposed worldviews when it comes to end-times theology, and how each one shapes your outlook in obvious ways.

I explain in the introduction why it took so long for this episode to get published, as well as update a bit on things.

This week I talk with fellow author Michael King, author of the books Gemstones From Heaven, Feathers From Heaven, and The Gamer's Guide to the Kingdom of God. As you can probably guess, we talked about the subject matter of those first two books, and it was a very enlightening conversation.

Topics covered:

• What is the purpose of gemstones?
• How does he answer critics and skeptics
• Job and his friends
• Divine healing
• signs and wonders in general
• God doing things outside of our box, or things God does that we don't know "the full picture" of

Be sure to check out Michael's books as well as his website at The Kings of Eden.

Greetings friends,

This week no episode of my podcast again this week while I edit the latest interview with another fellow author named Michael King. But in the meantime, here's the second of two parts I did on The Warrior's Cry Podcast, which I mentioned recently I had recorded. James decided to split the interview in two and this week we discussed "the dones" and further and discuss Unity in the Body of Christ

I recorded this episode about 6 weeks ago and never got around to editing it and publishing it online. I shared from an article of Kris Vallatton's called 6 Reasons to Write and spent the second half of the show giving my personal Kindle and Audio book recommendations in relation to leaving your safety net and taking the leap, albeit my point of reference is obviously related to writing, but I am positive you will get stuff out of today's show with other entrepreneurial ideas or dreams you are sitting on.

Links of Kris Vallatton's that I mentioned helped kicked my writing and vision for this podcast into high gear back in 2010:

• Writing With the End in View

Scrivener Unleashed

As mentioned in this week's show, My friend David Lee Martin has prepared a course called Scrivener Unleashed where he offers some of the only teaching out there I'm aware of that focuses on both the Windows version and not just the Mac version of Scrivener. Normally you can find one or the other. The cost of this training is $97, and contains comprehensive over your shoulder videos, but listeners of the podcast can get a 50% discount when you enter the coupon code fireonyourhead at checkout.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay in new episodes. Recently I got a chance to catch up with David Edwards, as we're trying to post episodes together than more than once per year. This week I had not done a good job double checking that my Electro Voice mic was the input source for our skype call, so the result is crap quality sound, but stellar quality revelation Dave shares with us and testimonies that seem to keep involving wind of the Holy Spirit.

Listen and be encouraged!

Also, don't forget to check out the new podcast I'm a part of called Warriors on the Wall with James Edwards, Travis Brown and Lawrence DeBold where we discuss current events every two weeks from a various Christian perspectives.

Hey friends, Sorry for the delay in posting a new episode. As I share in the beginning, I've been really struggling with allergy flare-ups since it's incredibly humid down here in the part of Peru where we live.

This week I shared some thoughts and reflections on why we crave religious institutions and why is it so easy for human beings to desire someone else to do our spirituality for us while we sit back and become spectators.

We don't usually think of Moses with "goodness" and grace. Yet, the Apostle Paul compared this as inferior to the glory we get to know in the face of Christ under a new covenant!

What happened?

"Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him." (Ex 34:30)

Not only were they afraid, but Moses had to wear a veil over his face whenever he was not speaking with God (vv 33-35)

This is one thing we see in humankind over and over again. Like the first time Moses ascended the mountain, the very people God wanted to come inhabit and have relationship with wanted to keep God at arm's length and obey rules and a command without yet knowing what they would be.

These are some of the things I dive into today as I reflect on how God wants to inhabit us, dwell among us and have relationship with us directly and not through our leaders or any other intermediary.
