All true Christians desire to know the will of God for their lives. We actually care about pleasing Him. We want to know the right path to choose so that our lives please Him and fulfill His purposes. Much of His specific will can be found in the scriptures. Yet, what do we do when there is no singular verse or bible passage that tells us specifically what is the right thing to do? This episode of Mavericks & Misfits walks us through some steps that help enlighten us to God’s will. It also exposes some things which obstruct us from knowing God’s will. The great news is that God desires for you to know and do His will, but it almost always takes you putting in the hard work to obtain that spiritual wisdom and understanding.

What if I told you that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans were at the head of the American government? What is I further stretched you by declaring that Capitalism, Socialism, Fascism, or Communism were not the actual drivers of historical world governments? The Bible teaches that human, earthly kingdoms are actually under the dominion of Satan. It is a stark statement, but one that cannot be denied if you use Scripture as your primary tool to work through these types of thoughts. Even more, what if I told you that every single human being is either cooperating with Satan and his rule of human kingdoms, or every single human is intentionally resisting the influence of this enemy of God? This podcast calls all of us to THINK about our political views and our alliance with God as a citizen of a human kingdom that is actually lying in the lap of the evil one.

Somewhere along the way, local churches lost the men. In fact, we seemed to have lost maleness as a whole. Kingdom masculinity is not something that many churches are even aware of as a concept any longer. Our churches have become gently feminized over the past fifty years or so, and now the feminization of the American male has taken an anchor-like hold in churches. This episode is a no-nonsense, unfiltered exhortation for men to return to being men. It also contains an appeal for women to support this deep need in our churches. God made males to be men…and nothing other, nothing less, nothing different than men. The days coming will require a reformation of Kingdom views of masculinity. Far from being toxic, masculinity is vital and we have gone too far and too long in questioning it.

Episode 148: The Daughter's Inheritance 

There are a group of five sisters found in two Old Testament passages whom we need to meet. Their names sound funky to our modern ears, but what they carried in their hearts would be of incredible benefit if Christian women today would dare to expect what they expected. In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, Jeff Lyle addresses the God-given inheritance to women through Jesus Christ. Callings, gifts, anointings and opportunities for Christian women come from God, not men. When Jesus opens a door, no man can close it. Until Jesus opens a door, no woman can walk through it. This episode is hard-hitting and is anything but woke or politically correct. Kingdom people will likely be helped by it… cultural snowflakes will likely melt from it.

Episode 147: That Stunning Thing Jesus Said

This episode leaves us nowhere to hide. Jesus made a couple of astounding statements recorded in the Gospel of John that the Church can no longer avoid. There is a reason why the modern Church witnesses little to zero supernatural power on a consistent basis. Theological excuses abound for this lack of breakthrough power, but none of them can stand against the simple words of Christ who unapologetically foretold what those who believe in Him should expect to experience when it comes to authority and power. Jeff Lyle calls the listener to examine his/her own life, the level of power in their own home church, and the need for this current generation to step forward and commit to what Jesus modeled and taught about what it means to live a life of supernatural power.

Episode 146: The Spirit Of Fear

One of the most common ailments found in today’s churches is the issue of people being oppressed under a spirit of fear. In many cases, this is the result of an actual demonic assignment that has leveled a person emotionally, mentally, and volitionally. They simply live under a heavy dread almost all of the time. In other instances, a person is less aware that they are operating under this atmosphere of fear. In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, we look at some important scriptures about the spirit of fear. We also walk through some of the symptoms of the spirit of fear so that the listener has an opportunity to diagnose if this ailment is happening to them. In the end, Jeff prays over and all who sense the need for freedom from this spiritually suffocating reality.

On Sunday 4/23/23, Antioch Outpost officially became the new name of what had been previously called The Church at Winder for forty years. In Scripture, when God ordained a dramatic shift in identity, covenant, and purpose, He would sometimes change the very name of the person with whom He was working. Name changes in Scripture are very significant. This episode communicates the reason why Jeff and his co-leaders committed to a new name to the church they serve. Maybe more importantly for the listener, Jeff highlights an obscure verse in the Book of Revelation that indicates that all Christians have a new name awaiting them at the end of the age. Now is a great season to consider if you and your church are operating under a name that clearly expresses what God is doing in the earth. Alignment and identity are important. As you listen, consider what God is speaking over you.
