One afternoon, during a life of crime that included drug use, drug distribution, and violence, K. Sheldon Bailey heard the voice of the Lord say, “Serve Me now or go to prison and serve Me later.” That ultimatum gave him pause and eventually led him to Christ. Thanks to the grace of God, he was delivered from the darkness and has been a born-again Christian for over 35 years. A former senior pastor of 11 years, K. Sheldon ministers around the world in churches, crusades, and pastor conferences. He discusses his latest book, The Jesus Fast, and how true fasting can be used to target problems, provide guidance, and free us from sin or bad habits. He says, “True fasting helps put the flesh to death.”TAKEAWAYSFasting is one of the weapons of our warfare that helps us in a number of waysJesus fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, and He abstained from foodThere is power in Christian unity - especially regarding fasting in a time where everyone is divided about somethingK.

Fasting isn’t about withholding your body from food; it’s about feasting on the presence of an amazing God! This is the wisdom Dr. Jennifer Miskov brings on the subject of spiritual fasting. Jennifer is an author, speaker, and the founding director of the School of Revival. She is passionate about encouraging other Christians to use fasting as a way to get closer to Jesus and align themselves with a new type of spiritual intimacy. People may think that fasting is about self-deprivation, but it’s about enjoying God’s presence by saying yes to spiritual food and no to physical food, Jennifer points out. Fasting is more about gaining God than giving something up physically. It gives you focus and strips off the things that hinder us from connecting with Christ, she reveals.TAKEAWAYSFasting is one way to accelerate spiritual intimacy with GodDon’t pressure yourself to do fasting any one particular way - do what the Holy Spirit is asking you to doFind a community of other like-minded Christians who are interested in fasting togetherThe enemy does not like Christians to fast because it is a powerful tool of spiritual connection with the Holy Spirit🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEFeasting on God’s Presence video: https://bit.ly/431PFdKPatriot Prepared (get 10% off with the code TINA): https://bit.ly/tinapatriotFeasting on God’s Presence book: https://amzn.to/44TNIzzFasting for Fire book: https://amzn.to/4eXWlhn🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

Have you ever considered embarking on a journey of fasting and prayer? During times of great need or trial, the Bible emphasizes the importance of this practice, yet so few churches discuss this critical teaching. Tammy Hotsenpiller is the co-pastor of Influence Church and the author of Fasting for a Change: A 21-Day Journey of Discovering Who God Created You to Be. Tammy discusses the difference between spiritual and physical fasting and how important Biblical fasting is when it comes to breaking down barriers in your life. The Bible tells us that some things only happen through prayer and fasting. “Fasting tells our flesh no and our spirit yes,” says Tammy.TAKEAWAYSThe enemy doesn’t want Christians to fast because it can lead to incredible breakthroughsIf you can say no to food, you can say no to other thingsSay yes to God and see transformation in your lifeFasting is trendy in modern culture, but there’s a big difference between physical and spiritual fasting🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJFasting for a Change Welcome video: https://bit.ly/43g8Tv2Fasting for a Change book: https://bit.ly/4nYeoYCFasting for Miracles book: https://bit.ly/4m0cepJFasting With God book: https://bit.ly/3UjVhe5🔗 CONNECT WITH TAMMY HOTSENPILLERWebsite: https://www.tammyhotsenpiller.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thotsenpillerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tammyhotsenpiller/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TammyHotsenpillerPodcast: https://podcast.tammyhotsenpiller.com/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomInstitute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tinaWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/tinaCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

“We are a culture addicted to our ‘Christian crack,’” says Shane Idleman, the lead pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship. As the author of I Almost Quit: My Journey of Leading Through the Landmines of Ministry, Shane has been through the highs and lows of Christian ministry. He discusses the positive impact that prayer and fasting have had on his life and advocates for the routine use of fasting in our Christian walk to seek a closer relationship with the Lord. Shane also talks about the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and how it honors the Lord, as well as how we tend to, as Christians, still cling to worldly and comfortable addictions - whether it’s caffeine, fried food, or a bad habit. “Fasting doesn’t kill you,” he says. “Overconsumption does.”TAKEAWAYSFasting allows Christians to focus on CHRIST rather than their desiresCaffeine overstimulates the central nervous systemThe more you’re filled with the Holy Spirit, the easier it will be to push discouragement out of your lifeWe can’t be disobedient in stewarding our health and expect physical miracles at the same time🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEBARK Phone: https://bit.ly/TINAPHONEBARK App (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/BARKCCMRelationship video: https://bit.ly/42Sr4Ib40 Days to Reset Your Life book: https://amzn.to/4nw8duEMother’s Day Message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM4qFb-MdKA🔗 CONNECT WITH SHANE IDLEMANWebsite: https://westsidechristianfellowship.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/confusedchurchInstagram: https://bit.ly/4jPcuXRX: https://x.com/IdlemanShaneYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@shaneidleman5067📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/tinaRogersHood Apothecary (get 10% off with code TINA): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tinaMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

At birth, each of us possesses a God-given hunger that we will spend our lives trying to satisfy. What separates hunger from being healthy or unhealthy comes down to the choices we make in our pursuit of these desires. Author and lead pastor of Sonrise Church, Otis Ledbetter, discusses the critical topic of God-given hunger. His book, Soul Hunger: Satisfy Your Heart’s Deepest Longing, discusses the balance between pursuing godly desires and descending into sinful behavior devolved from them. There’s nothing sinful about God-given desires, Otis says, but the innate sinful nature of man can sometimes skew our pursuit of something that started as good and pure. Walk in the Fruits of the Spirit and remain in God’s counsel to stay steadfast amid life’s temptations.TAKEAWAYSGood Fruits of the Spirit and righteous desire can descend to sin if we make bad choicesYou must be truthful with yourself to identify your desires and whether you’re pursuing them righteouslyPleasure, pursued in the light of the Holy Spirit, can be amazing and edifyingSalvation isn’t fire insurance, it’s a lifestyle🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEPop Culture Purge Tour: Text TOUR to 55444The Hunger Test: https://www.hungertest.com/Soul Hunger book: https://amzn.to/44LEcje🔗 CONNECT WITH OTIS LEDBETTERWebsite: https://www.joledbetter.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jotis.ledbetter.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oledbetter/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/MasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomRapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINAWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Life can get busy, and the demands of surviving in a chaotic, modern world can lead us to living in a way that feels void of meaning. But this fragmented sense of reality doesn’t have to be the end game, not if we can unify our faith lives with our everyday lives into a seamless vision that aligns with God’s purpose and plan. Steven Garber is the senior advisor at The Economics of Mutuality, and he is the author of The Seamless Life: A Tapestry of Love, Learning, Worship Work. He talks about the frantic and fragmented approach many Christians take when it comes to ministry and prayer. The everyday worker may not be viewed as carrying out God’s holy work, and yet, everyone has a gift and a calling.TAKEAWAYSWe tend to separate, or fragment, godly from ungodly things or spiritual vocations apart from supposed spiritual onesIf we would just do what God has called us to do, we would discover what a seamless life looks likeWe should be praying for the hardworking, everyday laborer, not just praying for the ministry employeesLet’s take every Christian seriously and pray for them in their everyday toil to work, provide, and bring glory to God🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJThe Seamless Life book: https://amzn.to/3ZYsFKJ🔗 CONNECT WITH STEVEN GARBERWebsite: https://washingtoninst.org/author/stevengarber/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/tinaCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/Institute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

The technology being developed and released today is powerful enough to usher in the beginning of the End Times - explains Ken Mikle. Ken is a conference speaker with decades of experience in law enforcement. He came to Christ while working security at a Billy Graham crusade in Amsterdam. Ken discusses the rise of the coming global world order, which will usher in the rise of the antichrist and his evil regime. He also discusses the technology that could lend itself to the Mark of the Beast, as prophesied in the book of Revelation. “We’re seeing all the set-up,” he says. They won’t implement all of this at once, but these developments toward the end are slowly but surely happening - and the world won’t expect it when it all comes together.TAKEAWAYSWhen the antichrist comes on the scene, he’ll be given the keys to the global kingdom and Ken believes the antichrist is alive todayThere is a coming financial collapse that will be necessary to usher in the End TimesInvest in hard assets - like gold - to protect yourself and transfer your funds from the big banks to a local credit unionKlaus Schwab, the son of former Nazi Eugen Schwab, of the World Economic Forum is continuing the evil agenda of Adolf Hitler🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODESold Their Souls for Rock and Roll Download: https://counterculturemom.com/store/Australia Imposes Farm Lockdowns video: https://bit.ly/3NkolhXPay With Palm Scanners at Whole Foods article: https://bit.ly/4ew1YCnCarl Sanders Mark of the Beast video: https://bit.ly/3YNgsYVHagmann Report podcast: https://bit.ly/4eywv2jBank of America Customers See Zero Balance: https://bit.ly/4gYZtu6China Collecting Americans’ DNA - 60 Minutes: https://bit.ly/48yTEQ4China Wants Your Data article: https://bit.ly/4eyPoSU🔗 CONNECT WITH OLIVE TREE MINISTRIESWebsite: https://olivetreeviews.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OliveTreeMinistriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/olivetreeministries/X: https://x.com/OliveTreeMin📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Trail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-tinaMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Greg Stier grew up in the most dangerous area of Denver, where he was surrounded by violence and gang activity throughout his childhood. When he gave his life to Christ as a kid, the first person he shared the gospel message with was his mother, and soon many of his family members became believers. This transformative experience saved his family, changed his life, and inspired him to become a lifelong evangelist. Today, Greg is the founder and visionary behind Dare 2 Share, a ministry focused on reaching teens with the gospel and equipping them to spread the good news to their peers. Greg’s book, Radical Like Jesus: 21 Challenges to Live a Revolutionary Life, is an excellent guide for practically teaching Christians to kick their faith life up a notch. “It’s time to take it to the next level,” Greg says.TAKEAWAYSGreg says teens need three things to be equipped to serve Christ: a King (Jesus), a cause (the gospel) and a crew (a family)Your God-sized dream can be anything - every dream matters and is importantLearn how to pray and spend time every day in God’s WordGod is opening up opportunities all around us every day🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJGreg’s Story video: https://bit.ly/3OgENRaRadical Like Jesus book: https://bit.ly/3UXQboE🔗 CONNECT WITH GREG STIERWebsite: https://gregstier.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greg.stier/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregstier/?hl=enX: https://x.com/gregstierYouTube: https://bit.ly/4g4HOzHPodcast: https://bit.ly/3ZnscSt🔗 CONNECT WITH DARE 2 SHAREWebsite: https://www.dare2share.org/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Wholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
