Listen to one of our spiritual daughters, Jessica Mindy, share about what Holy Spirit is showing her as it relates to ascension.

In this message, Pastor Mark Casto shares with the family about owning our identity as a result of the finished work and being in union with Jesus. It's time to eliminate the excuses and arise and shine during this time!

In this message, Pastor Mark Casto shares prophetically about what the Lord is doing in this hour of sheltering-in-place. Mark heard the Lord speak audibly, "When the enemy comes in, like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him." Take the time to allow this word to position each one of us for the days ahead.

In this message, Pastor Mark Casto shares about the theology of the care of Abba. How was Jesus able to make His last statement on the cross, "Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit"? What measure of trust in the nature of the Father's care has to be present that in a moment of Jesus staring death in the face He would quote a psalm of Abba's care?

May we learn from the mistakes of the children of Israel while wandering in the wilderness. They wandered because they did not trust that Yahweh would care for them.

(We apologize for some of the glitches in the audio.) Pastor Mark continues taking us on the journey into the realm of rest. We are embracing this moment of a global pause to enter into a lifestyle of rest that will cause us to inherit our intended authority as image-bearers.

We will learn from Exodus 17, that in a moment of inconvenience we can either murmur and complain or we can believe that the inconvenience is bringing us into a measure of trust that activates promises, and calls us into the realm of rest!

During this time of sheltering-in-place, we still gathered online as a family. This is the audio of the stream where Pastor Mark shares how we have been apostolically aligned and prophetically guided into this moment, therefore we were made ready for such a time as this.

To those who have bowed at the altar of productivity in Babylon, this time feels like captivity. But for the Kingdom man, we know this time is strategically placing us in an incubator (secret place) for the creation of a new world. Heaven on earth.

We are discovering our corporate identity as The Shepherd's Tent. What we learned last week is that in the 1st chapter of the Song of Solomon, The Shepherd's Tent is actually a realm of rest for the lovers of God.

If we are to manifest a culture of rest, then we have to embrace a lifestyle of rest. In this message, Papa Mark shares with us about the counter-cultural view of busyness in the Kingdom. Busyness is not a virtue, but a vice for the Kingdom man.

We cannot allow Babylon to identify us and keep us bowing down to the altar of productivity. While this message exposes the lie of busyness it also speaks to the reality that Yahweh gives His beloved rest. How would you rest, if you knew while you rest, He works?

For over a year we have gathered and been equipped to understand who Abba is and our identity as sons and daughters. However, in light of where Apostle Damon has been taking us as a family with the understanding, we are in a new age, a new land, and have a new name we felt it was time to also discover our corporate identity.

The Shepherd's Tent was birthed in Papa Mark's heart during the Fall of 2016 in a time where we were immersing ourselves in the Song of Solomon. The Shepherd's Tent is not a catchy name or logo, it's a realm of rest. Listen to this message where we discover what Abba calls this realm and those who Abba will send to us.

"Listen, my radiant one-if you ever lose sight of Me, just follow in My footsteps where I lead My lovers. Come with your burdens and cares. Come to the Shepherd's Tent." (SOS 1:8)

We continue the conversation with Papa Mark concerning our culture here at The Shepherd's Tent. In Part 2, we dive into our cultural declaration of raising up a family who knows how to properly host the Presence of Jesus by way of extravagance. Extravagance is not something that should be experienced in a corporate setting but should be a part of your secret life with the Bridegroom King.

You will also hear Pastor Mark share on the importance of getting planted so that we might become sons of unlimited oil. (Zechariah 4) If you have been tracking with us on the podcast, then these family talks are going to help you understand the culture we are partnering with Holy Spirit to see established in Covington, GA.

Abram was told by Yahweh to leave all that he knew in order to find the land Yahweh had promised. What we have learned is that while the call is to a new land, the journey was for Abraham to find his authentic self.

In this message, Papa Mark shares with the family that although we have been called to the geographical location of Covington, our primary call is to enter into a dimension called "In Him", into new creation status. If we are to make this journey into new creation we must first begin with questioning the Western Americanized influence that has domesticated the gospel.
