 Ephesians 4:10-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10 He who descended is the very same as He who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He [His presence] might fill all things [that is, the whole universe]). 11 And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct], 12 [and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the church];...

There is so much misunderstanding regarding the gift of the apostle. This misunderstanding lends to many deceptions, delusions, seductions, manipulations, and just weird stuff. Although by no means comprehensive, I did this teaching to correct some of the mindsets around this gift and it's leadership. Naturally, I don't expect this teaching to be popular by any means, simply because we 'love' our positions that make us sound more spiritual, more important and more exclusive. However, we cannot argue with scripture. 

We need the gift of the apostle, desperately, today! But the way it's being presented is taking away the effect and power of the true and authentic. We have to align with the King and His Kingdom when delivering any gift. Gifts represent the Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom - not us! and the apostolic gift is, like the others (prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher), there to equip the saints for the work of growing up and maturing of the Body of Christ.

Building His Church - Being Spiritual 

with Shaun Smit and Steve Bisset

Another episode where you get to join their conversation about 'Building His Church' His way, not our way.

Shaun and Steve have been having these conversations for many years now, encouraging and admonishing and challenging each other from the Word on issues that relate to the church and Christ's Kingdom.

Today's episode really dives into some of the 'sacred cows' we religiously hold very dear.

But it is all about empowering THE church, you and me, to live what Jesus has called us to be in this world.

Don't forget to send us your questions, comments, and observations. 

Another sharing time with my friend Dan Maudhub as we talk about how he balances the Kingdom of God with his responsibilities.

If you are in business this is a good discussion to listen in on.

If you're not in business also good.

Dan shares a good perspective of what a person should know about the church and the Kingdom in business.

Walking with authority in the assignment and mission God calls leaders to.

With my good friend, Paul Cuny, author and speaker.

We are talking for the second episode about Nehemiah's call to leadership and what that means to you in your leadership.

Romans 12

 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. 

Having the right perspective.

Another interesting and challenging episode discussing how Jesus is, and wants to, build His church.

We need to change our mindset from slaves to sons.

Having a deep dive look at the leadership of Nehemiah with my good friend Paul Cuny.
