How Do I Know Who I Am? – The Fast Track to Identity

On the Trail Podcast: Season 3, Episode 22

How did God design our brain to form our sense of identity?

In a new microseries, we’re talking about our neurotheological identity. Our primary goal this episode is to understand that our brains operate not only at the speed of conscious thought but also faster than conscious thought. How does this “fast track” of the brain affect our identity formation?

A lot of people want to know, can Christians be possessed? We would say no. But can Christians give demons access? We would say yes. 

In this week’s episode, we’re going over five main areas where people—including Christians!—give the demonic permission to claim a foothold in our lives. We remember these five areas with the acrostic SOUL-L: Sin, Occult, Unforgiveness, Lies we believe, and Lineage. Next week we’ll be looking at how to remove permissions and evict the enemy.

Maturity & Walking in the Spirit 

On the Trail Podcast: Season 3, Episode 15

So often our discipleship solutions are designed for adults and do not take into consideration the actual maturity of the people being discipled. Would you expect a child to have the same prayer skills as a grandparent? Whether we're talking physical or emotional maturity, or for how long we've known Christ, walking with God is not a one-size-fits-all experience. In Part Two of our Listen to the Spirit series, we're looking at S.L.O.W., prayer, and how maturity interacts with our walk.

This week we’re beginning the next segment of our Breakthrough! series: Listening to the Spirit.

From the opening verses of Scripture, the Holy Spirit is there bringing life, power, and wisdom. He is the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2) and the Helper Christ said the Father would send us (John 14:26).

Throughout Scripture, two common actions associated with the Holy Spirit are anointing and filling. He anoints with power, and He fills with wisdom. We cover this and more in today’s episode.
