STFI Podcast

Teacher: Jeff Tyler

What is the work that God has called us to do? This is a vital subject for all Christians to know and understand, so that we can be as effective as possible for Christ. In this LIVE teaching on “Fulfilling Your Function in the Body of Christ” from the March 2018 Leadership Meeting, Jeff Tyler looks at the three parts to answering this question: why it’s important, what it looks like, and how it applies to each of us. We pray that this teaching will bring you great inspiration, clarity, and direction as you continue to grow in your relationship with God and Jesus Christ, and to fulfill your God-given function in the Body of Christ.

Teacher: Caitlyn Theisen

Living wholeheartedly is difficult to do in a fallen world. But when we go through life with hearts that are numb, we are unable to fully experience the beautiful things that come from the heart-including the depths of joy and love-because we are afraid to also feel the pain and sadness that come from the same place. In this LIVE teaching on "Living Wholeheartedly" from the 2017 STF National Event, Caitlyn Theisen explores the journey to wholeheartedness and how it requires us to be invested deeply in the words of God, as well as some of the steps we can take to heal with the help of Jesus, and how we can acquire strength for the journey through the presence of Christ in our hearts and the knowledge of his love for us.

Teacher: Jerry Wierwille

“Worship” is a common word that is often thrown around in Christianity. But what few people realize is that there is a lot more to worshipping God than prayer, going to church, and singing praise. A large and overlooked part of worship involves sacrifice. Part of our worship is giving up things that hinder us from picking up our cross and following Jesus—becoming a disciple is an act of worship because a life of following Jesus consists of a life of sacrifice. In this teaching, “When It Hurts to Bend the Knee,” Jerry Wierwille lays out a dimension of worshipping God that cuts to the very heart of the Christian faith: worship involves sacrifice. Worship is about obeying God even when we don’t feel like it or want to. Being a follower of Christ means that we must forsake ourselves and follow him, no matter the cost.

Teacher: John Schoenheit

Isaiah 55:8 is a verse that has been used over and over again to explain away many uncomfortable things about life by covering up unbiblical doctrines, and as a result it has set a false barrier between God and many people. In this three-part teaching titled “Thinking Like God Thinks,” John Schoenheit explores the examples of Jesus’ life and the Torah, showing from Scripture how not only is it possible to think like God does, but that this is a vital part of living a godly life. If we want to conduct ourselves in a way that serves and honors our holy God, we must immerse ourselves in His way of thinking, so that we can be imitators of Christ, and therefore, imitators of God.

Teacher: Dennis Hickman

The Book of Philemon is a section of Scripture that is sometimes not read in great depth; but there are some amazing insights into relationship and personal dealings among believers that can be gleaned from this wonderful book! In this teaching titled “Crisis in Colossae,” Dennis Hickman examines the situation in Colossae at the time of Paul’s letter, which threatened to become a crisis within the Body of Christ. Looking deeper into the Letter to Philemon, this teaching explores how the blend of grace and truth as demonstrated in this record can translate into our lives—encouraging us walk in love, even through difficult situations.

No matter what has happened in our lives, we can stand in truth and receive the Word with meekness, helping our brothers and sisters in Christ to heal and move forward; this way, we can all fight for unity and for one another. We hope that this teaching will encourage you to do all of that, and more.

Teacher: Janet Speakes

Throughout Scripture, we’re presented with many accounts of people who walked bravely down the path of God’s will that was laid out before them. But sometimes we can become so familiar with these stories that we lose sight of the fact that each one was pointing toward a bigger picture—the red thread of Jesus Christ! In this live teaching from the 2017 New England Women’s Conference, Janet Speakes explores several records in Scripture, taking a deeper look at the source of bravery for each person in them, and how these accounts paralleled and pointed toward the reality of the coming Savior—showing the plan for mankind’s redemption, woven throughout history. 

Jesus Christ is the red thread of the Bible, the One whose coming was so beautifully illustrated in the life-journeys of those who courageously obeyed the leading of God. We believe that this teaching will bless and enrich your understanding of the Word, as well as help you to see more clearly how our strength and bravery comes from the Lord.

Teachers: Ryan, Jerry Wierwille

We are so blessed to share TWO live teachings from the 2017 STF National Conference held in Atlanta, GA!

In the first teaching, Ryan talks about the time we have now in life, and how we must make the most of it. Using concrete and inspirational analogies, he explores the importance of doing our best now, because our time in this life is limited…and how what we do with that time will echo in eternity.

In the second teaching, Jerry Wierwille takes a deeper look into the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25; he demonstrates from the evidence of Scripture how each person is talented in their own unique way, and shows how we can look to this parable for guidance on how we should be using our talents, however great or small, to invest in the future kingdom.

We trust that both of these teachings will be deeply enriching and greatly motivational for you, as you use your time and talents in this life to invest in the people around you…and in the kingdom to come.

Teacher: John Schoenheit

In the early 1900’s, a movement started that is now referred to as “the Word of Faith Movement,” which teaches that if a person has faith, he can be successful, prosperous, and healthy. But is that really what the Bible teaches? In this teaching, John Schoenheit examines how the English word “faith” came into our language, and what it means; why the Word of Faith Movement is so strong, and why faith so often seems to work for people; some of the consequences of believing that our faith makes things happen in the world around us; how our trust in God or Christ does not force things to happen; and the wonderful effects of trusting God and living wisely.

Trying to make things happen by “just having faith” puts an immense amount of pressure on Christians, and we believe that this teaching will help many people to better understand what happens in the world around them, and to be more peaceful in their hearts.

Teacher: Dan Gallagher

No one would ever think of running a long distance marathon race without going into proper training. Many may desire to win but few do because, as Coach Bear Bryant once said, “It’s not he will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters!” As followers of Jesus, each Christian has a race course laid out ahead of them and to win that race we must prepare ourselves in order to win. In this teaching Dan Gallagher begins by defining what “winning” for he Christian means and he examines five specific areas where we need to have the will to prepare ourselves to win: prepare for good works, prepare to give an answer, prepare to resist, prepare to fight, and prepare to endure. We believe you will enjoy this teaching with it’s many real life examples and antidotes, as well as finding it will helpful for you on your way to “winning” with Christ.

Teacher: Jerry Wierwille

As Christians, we are often warned about the perils of getting too involved in the world. We’re told not to love the things of the world; not to conform to the world; and to keep the commandment unstained while we are living in this world. With all of these instructions, it can be difficult to know how we should truly conduct ourselves in the world—to know what, in the world, we are doing!

In this live teaching from our 2017 20’s and 30’s Conference in Paducah, KY, Jerry Wierwille takes a look into Scripture to determine what it means to be of the world; what it means to be in the world; what things can tarnish the teaching of the Word; and how God admonishes us to keep His commandments unstained while we navigate life and maintain a steadfast faith in a fallen world.
