    • Revving Up - Ep. 9: Faith and Revelation with Brother Mike East

      In this engaging conversation, host David Ross and his guest, Brother Mike East, explore themes of faith, ministry, and the importance of unity within the church. They discuss personal journeys, the significance of revelation, and the need for miracles in today's world. The dialogue emphasizes the role of the church in fostering community and the necessity of returning to foundational beliefs and practices.

      David's comment on having Brother East on the show: "I've known Brother Mike East for over 20 years, and I love his passion, his complete honesty, and his love for the things of God. I am honored to call him my friend and to have him in my life. He has prayed for me and my family consistently - daily - for many years, and I know that his obedience in that act of faith is one of the reasons I am standing here today. Strap in for a wonderful ride - you never know where a conversation with him will go."

          • Revving Up - Ep. 8: Building The Kingdom

            What is the kingdom of God? Is it a place or something else? How does it operate, and more importantly, how can we, as followers of Christ, help to build it?

            In this episode of Revving Up with David Ross, I explore this topic along with Bryan Bootka of the "Just a Thinker" podcast.  We are releasing this in tandem, and I am grateful he was able to join me in studio as we cover this topic from several points of view.

            Pull up a chair and listen in as we discuss this fundamental aspect of being a Christian in an extended 1-hour discussion.

          • Revving Up - Ep. 7: Holiness

            What is holiness? Why does it matter?

            In this episode of Revving Up with David Ross, we explore the concept of holiness. Along the way, I offer up the idea that holiness is not merely about rules and regulations but is fundamentally about a relationship with God.

            Holiness provides the boundary to help maintain a relationship with Jesus. It is holiness that secures the promises God has for us as His children.

            Come along and listen in as this important topic is discussed.

          • Revving Up - Ep. 6: The Good Father

            Have you ever messed up? Or maybe did something you should not do?  We have all been there - welcome to the human race.  So, how does God feel about it when we rebel?  Sin?  Behave selfishly?

            In this episode, we will explore this topic in the light of the familiar parable of the father with the two lost sons.  Yes, the son that did not leave had his own issues.  We will focus on the prodigal, but perhaps you might find yourself more like the one who stayed.

            Recorded shortly after Father's Day here in the US, I hope you enjoy some insights.

          • RevvingUp - Ep 5: Count it all Joy

            The epistle written by James tells us to count it all joy when we face trials.  What did he mean?  How can I find joy when everything is going wrong in my life?  What about my real pain, my real situation?

            Let's dive into this topic on today's podcast.  I look forward to exploring this with you, and along the way find some anchor points for your soul in the midst of trying times.

            Episode Note: I was told the audio levels were too low last time, I hope I was able to bring up the volume without any clipping.  When I get in my studio, many of these problems will go away.  SOON!

          • RevvingUp - Ep 4: Forgiveness for all time

            Do you struggle with forgiving yourself? Do you find yourself trying to earn the grace of God?  Join me as I explore this topic.  It turns out than an infinite God has an answer for everyone, if we will submit to His plan and follow after Him.

            Join me in this exploration of time, physics, and the grace of God.

            In this episode, at great risk to life and limb, David shares some dad jokes along with some stories of the grandkids.  He finishes up with some thoughts on which to reflect, but along the way you should either laugh or groan.

          • Revving Up - Ep:2 - Fasting

            In this episode, the topic at hand is fasting.  

            Why should we fast, what happens during a fast, and where should it rank in our lives as followers of Christ?

            I sat down with Rev. Jason Ouellette to discuss this important discipline that is far too absent from contemporary Western Christianity.

            Thanks to Jason for providing tremendous information and challenging me to take on this discipline with even more intention!
