Pastor Jason West and his wife Leah are building a tremendous work in the inner city of San Jose, CA, called The Hope Center. Join us for our conversation with Jason about his passion for making disciples and reaching our metro areas.

People often are prepared for change because they are tired/frustrated/irritated with something. How can we recognize this and have a spiritual conversation where our transformation story inspires them to consider that there is an alternative (the better way of Jesus’ kingdom)?

While there is significant movement of the Holy Spirit, there is no denying that the majority of people still fall into one of two categories regarding that..either apathy or antipathy. The question then becomes how do missional people truly work with how the Holy Spirit is working?

The 5 Love Languages Books have been very popular for years. The book by Gary Chapman attempts to relate how we experience and express love within a framework of 5 “languages” to which human personalities are wired. Today, on Valentine’s Day we are discussing how the 5 Love Languages can not only help us understand love within our marital and family relationships but also how the love languages affect our ability to show others the love of God. 

How do we have spiritual conversations with people who have found that the end of their quest for fulfillment has ended in bitterness? The pursuit of what satisfies the soul may at first feel sweet and deeply gratifying. It is very difficult to persuade someone who is in this stage. They have imagined that “that thing, that experience, that romance, that person, etc” will be everything they have been wanting. But as we know, it never satisfies for long and in the end leaves us empty and often hurting. What begins as a sweet pursuit ends in bitter disappointment. So the question … how do we engage someone who finds themselves at that place where they are coming to the realization that what they thought was the answer is not going to be?

Join us for this fantastic conversation with church planter, Pastor Tim Gaddy, who launched New Life Church in Cabot, AR in 1992. Through his exceptional leadership, New Life has grown into a thriving apostolic revival center that is making an impact around the world. Tim also serves as the District Superintendent of the Arkansas District for the UPCI. 

Many churches and believers start the new year with focused prayer and fasting as a part of their consecration efforts recognizing our need to align with a heaven-down perspective. The reason consecration is so critical is because we understand that the ways that are appealing in the Spirit are appalling to the flesh. 

Are you telling the story of Jesus or proving a point? Much of our world today seems to be in a growing divide. The hostility in the socio-political environment of our world is making it increasingly more difficult to debate the gospel into the hearts and minds of people. But Jesus gave us the model…our stories tell His story! 

Generational curses are less generationally transmitted demonic domination than they are generationally observed behaviors that incline the children to repeat the dysfunction that they have both seen and are often victims of. Any succession of spiritual domination (family strongholds) is broken in new birth in Christ (you are new creatures). And when by faith the old ways are put off and new life is put on a new model for living is presented which provides a redemptive affect for that family. Today we talk about the deception of generational curses. 

The Word of God provides stability in a world that is changing and moving at a rapid pace and in challenging ways. Certainly, this is something that is needed in our walk with God. There is, however, something about the Spirit of God that challenges us to grow and to change that can cause us to feel unsettled. This powerful combination of His Word and His Spirit is critical to spiritual transformation. Today we talk about how God unsettles us by the moving of His Spirit in our lives.
