A quick podcast providing news about Banner's ministry and a look at Verse Three of Pau's letter to the Philippians; The Judaizers of "the circumcision" and how that resonates concerning the contemporary Hebrew Roots movement.

In today's episode, Banner shares his heart about coming to Jesus just as you are. Relating it to his experience in coming to terms with his East Kentucky Hillbilly heritage, and with the challenges to Black Americans and the 1st Nations, Native Americans, Banner explores the necessity of knowing who you are, and becoming settled with that, so that God can use you, as He changes you into who He wants you to be, instead of being conformed to a cultural identity foreign to you, and to God.

In this episode Banner provides an update and some news to look forward to, including a planned weekly prayer gathering and an upcoming event at Harvest Fellowship in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

In this episode Banner gives some personal, biographical, and ministerial background information and why the Love is Calling Podcast. He closes out this episode with a quick look at 1st Corinthians Chapter Thirteen, an interesting chapter that can leave you scratching your head, and wondering what kind of love Paul is talking about. nbBKDX61or0dNlPfA7SP

This is the first podcast for Love is Calling, rebooted, after nearly two decades in the Hebrew Roots movement. The focus of the podcast is freedom in Christ, in Yeshua, or Jesus, if you will. This episode asks a lot of questions that demand an answer, unless they are simply ignored. Who is your King? Who is your Great High Priest? Who leads you into Truth? Is your assembly unified in shared doctrinal positions, or unified in and by the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of Truth?

This is a sample of the audiobook Laura's Healing Journey - The Laura (Kidd) Payne Story. Laura was my daughter who fought a rare form of cancer, trusting in her Heavenly Father to deliver her, for five years. He delivered her into the Paradise of God. This story is her testimony of faith along that journey, filled with a storybook romance, and the mighty acts of Father God in her life. The book is available on Amazon Audible and other online audiobook retail outlets. It is also available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.

A long podcast about my call to ministry with the back story and what I know, at this point, moving forward. I am called to the Auburn, Indiana area, but not restricted to that location. I'm looking for a place to start a Bible Study and to plant a church with an emphasis on the hurting and lost and those disillusioned with man's religion, and those who feel like they don't fit in, or measure up, or aren't welcome. I think this describes most of us. Jesus, Yahshua, came to set us free and turn our lives into something beautiful for His glory and our eternal good.

The Apostle Paul writes the letter to the Galatians to tell them that their salvation depends on their belief in Messiah, the Christ, and Him alone. The Good News, or Gospel, is that of Messiah and the reign of God. The reign, or kingdom of God, or Elohim, in Messiah is that we hear Him, obey Him, as He gives us Instruction/Torah in real time. It isn't up to us to decide how to walk this walk. Nor is it up to others. We are to be His disciples, His taught-ones, and walk as He leads and instructs.

Moses was given the task of bringing right ruling to the children of Israel, as we read in Exodus Chapter Twenty-One. In Isaiah Chapter Nine we read the prophecy of Messiah's birth and that right ruling would be his. It's clear a change of administration happened with Messiah's arrival on the scene as a man, and then with His finished work on the cross, resurrection and then ascencion to the Father. What does it mean for us?

I wrote this song and it was used in the God of Hope project as well. Lisa Mertz, now Lisa Loza, sang in. I recorded it myself in 2013 for my Consuming Fire CD. I reworked the lyrics for a female vocalist, and to make it work for God of Hope. I like for versions, but I'm more partial to the original lyrics that I sang on my recorded version.
