For The One

This week I welcome on my friend Kevin Coyne, a fellow creative and Christian from childhood he brings an insightful perspective and burden to the current state of the westernized church. We discuss discipleship, good leadership, spiritual gifts and get honest about what has worked well and where the church as gone wrong. We dive into how American culture has permeated into kingdom culture and the consequences on pastors and flocks alike.

Happy Easter Everyone! This week I dive into the significance of the book of Leviticus and it's symbolic and intentional mirroring to parts of Jesus' crucifixion. As I've been meditating on the Levitical laws of sacrifice, my sin and the true heart behind repentance the Holy Spirit brought about beautiful revelations on why Jesus had to die the way he did, what sin really costs, and how Jesus not only made a way to be in eternal relationship with us- but is THE way!

SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK: Leviticus 4:4; Hebrews 9:22; Romans 13:10

I also got a lot of inspiration from Philip Anthony Mitchell's recent messages linked here as well:

In January of this year, after almost a decade of my body not functioning correctly, I was finally diagnosed with Endometriosis. This never was or will be just for or about me- as too many women have struggled with their reproductive health- I want to advocate for you to advocate for yourself. In this Part II, I discuss how things worsen just before deliverance and healing, the mind blowing intentionality of the Lord and his orchestration of all things for our good and His glory and kingdom perspectives over earthly ones on what healing and infertility can look like. 

SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK: Exodus 5:3-9; 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; Psalm 33:4; Psalm 84:6-7

In January of this year, after almost a decade of my body not functioning correctly, I was finally diagnosed with Endometriosis. This never was or will be just for or about me- as too many women have struggled with their reproductive health- I want to advocate for you to advocate for yourself. In this episode I get deeply intimate and specific into my symptoms and how this disease has impacted my life. I discuss birth control, being faced with diagnosis of PCOS and threats of infertility and my journey over the last 9 years that got me to this point. I pray this episode makes those who have similar health concerns feel seen and heard. I pray this episode proves God's faithfulness and reminds you of ways He has shown Himself to be good even amidst a trying disease. I pray this episode stirs faith, hope and healing.

For The One's first live audience podcast! I was invited to Penfield Community Church and joined by Pastor Adam Herald and Worship/Youth Pastor Bob Gardner. We discussed the fear of the Lord and the crucial importance reverent worship plays in order to maintain deep and Biblical intimacy with God. There's many who are Christian adjacent or playing church, but they do not yield or submit to the authority of Jesus. The three of us dive into the intentionality and heart posture needed to run the race well and battle against casual Christianity.

In today's episode I'm reviewing the book "The Knowledge They Don't Want You To Have" by Adam Herald. I go in detail with specific aspects of the text like:  how God showed us what true romance and intimacy look like in the Garden of Eden, the premise of desire being created in the light of choice, the symbolism of the layers of the Tabernacle and spiritual warfare.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse and misconduct. These topics may be disturbing or triggering for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised, especially for survivors of abuse.

This week I discuss the recent news of abuse of prophetic giftings, clergy SA and neglect on behalf of the leadership of Bethel Church. While this firestorm of stories and allegations is the most recent, it is unfortunately not the exception. A pattern of hands off leadership, complacency and lack of accountability and genuine repentance has spread like yeast among the American Church. 

In this episode I use both personal experience and scripture to provide context and clarity to the role and attributes of a "good" shepherd as well as address the signs that may be indicators that those in ministry may not be Biblically upholding their grace ministries. This episode is to expose injustices (especially to women), to warn and to provide wisdom for the purposes of protecting and guarding the flock from the wolves that have been allowed to exist in our churches and even our pastoral leadership- those in sheep's clothing.

*DISCLAIMER*: The church is and always was Christ's plan A. It is His bride. I LOVE the Church which is why I am so grieved to see cycles and behaviors repeat and continue. This is NOT meant to be an attack on Bethel or any other ministry but an honest conversation of the hurt that has been caused- we can honor and be honest. I believe forgiveness, healing and redemption are available for everyone- THAT IS THE GOSPEL. So, I pray for the perpetrators to experience genuine repentance on this side of heaven. I pray for wisdom and protection over the "good" shepherds and for the comforting and healing spirit of our Lord and Savior to be ever-close and tangible to the survivors of these evil acts.

SCRIPTURES: Psalm 23 (Attributes of The Good Shepherd); Ephesians 4:11-13 (Fivefold Ministry); Genesis 9:20-27 (Covering in Honor); Exodus 38:8 (Women in Service to God); John 10:11-16 (Jesus Addresses His Sheep); Ephesians 5:13 (Revelation Light); Ezekiel 34:7-10 and 1 Peter 5:2-3 (Scripture to the Shepherds)

It was such an honor to have Adam Herald with me this week to discuss his first book, "The Knowledge They Don't Want You To Have." 
We discuss:
- How God wants to woo you to Himself and the intentionality of Him doing so in the design of the Garden of Eden. 
- The fact that the Bible is written as one love letter from God to human beings as He desperately wants to be in relationship with them. 
- How the Gospel is for men and women and no one is "too far gone" to repent and come to Christ.
- How hungry Gen Z is for the truth.
- The symbolism in the design of the Tabernacle paralleled to Eden.
- How much God will pursue us in His love for us.

Class is back in session this week! As an unofficial Part II to last week's episode, this podcast is a follow up to "The Fear of the Lord." I dive into the difference between omnipresence and manifest presence, the definition of theophany (LOL I definitely pronounced it wrong in the video-please give me grace!) and why the Lord may show Himself in these manifest ways. 

I also give scriptural examples of how each member of the triune God has manifested their presence to humans throughout the Bible and a list of forms God has taken in the Old and New Testament when manifesting His presence. It is always an honor when we can have a personal interaction with our Creator and we should continue to seek to meet Him in such an intimate and intentional form.

SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK: 
Zechariah 4:6 "not by might nor by power but by my Spirit says the Lord Almighty"

**CORRECTION OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 12:7-11

Class is in session this week! I'm talking on one of the most dense, daunting and holy topics- the fear of the Lord. This podcast is by no means all encompassing- there is so much to this discussion and I only scratched the surface. 

If you'd like to grow deeper in your intimacy and relationship with God, this principle is crucial to spiritual formation and maturation. I talk on what the fear of the Lord is, scriptures that bring about reverential awe and wonder for God as well as the benefits of having holy fear. Utilizing the old and new testament text, TPT, NIV and NKJV translations and John Bevere's book I walk through the importance of the fear of the Lord with Biblical theology, real life examples and personal experiences.

Below I have listed resources and songs that in worship have been influential in impacting how I approach God in holy fear:
