Many across the Body of Christ are practicing the discipline of fasting as we begin this new year. R.A. Martinez and our guest take on the topic of New Testament fasting: what it is and what it isn't. It's not the WHAT of fasting that makes it effective, it is the WHY of fasting and the WHO you are encountering while you fast. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

As we begin 2021, we look back to a message from R.A. Martinez titled "Grace and Peace" from the sermon series "The Man Among the Lampstands." We walked through Revelation chapter 1 during the fall of 2020 at our MAPS Family Gatherings (Sunday Service). We are convinced that the most important man for the church to have her eyes on is not the man in the White House: it is the Man among the lampstands. He has an unlimited supply of grace and peace for His church in the middle of the confusion, chaos, and crisis.

Enjoy this fifteen-minute clip that was cut for time from our last episode (56: Be Like Barnabas).

In this episode, we revisit one of our favorite characters in the New Testament! R.A. Martinez takes a fresh look at Barnabas and the offering that changed history. Supernatural giving carries the seeds of divine destiny. As 2020 comes to an end, let's all resolve to be like Barnabas.

There is a throne in the tabernacle. There was one in David's day. There is one in our day. There will be one forever in the age to come. This is the second part of a two-part series on the Tabernacle of David. King David's heart to build God a resting place in his generation produced a worship culture that became the blueprint for revival in Israel, the model of the New Testament church, and the patter of Jesus' Kingdom in the age to come. R.A. Martinez walks us through the storyline of the Old Testament through the New Testament explaining what exactly is the Tabernacle of David.

In this episode, we listen to a sermon from R.A.Martinez entitled, "Rule In The Midst Of Your Enemies" taken from a recent regional gathering hosted at our MAPS Global Missions Base. R.A. walks through Psalm chapter 2 and Psalm chapter 110 as the "prayer manual" for the New Testament church.

In this episode, we sit down with MAPS Global's Vice President of Care & Development, Chris Carter, to discuss his thoughts on navigating change. Change is an inevitable part of life both in the big and in the small; how we navigate it can determine whether we grow and mature or whether we get stuck and stunted. R.A. Martinez and Chris attempt to answer the question, "What is change and how can I expect it to affect me generally and specifically according to my personality type?"
