Welcome my dear friend to this Bible Talks episode of Coffee with Keith.  Today, I simply want to begin my look at the book of Acts, the book about the birth of the church and the commissioning of ministry.  In Acts 1:1-11, we see the writer share with us some truths. 

Now, the disciples were hopeful when Jesus appeared that they would then see him command and conquer as the King they expected him to be.  Instead, he warns them to keep doing the work of ministry for they knew no when he would return. 

The same can be said for us.  We need to be about doing the work of Jesus.  That's not beating people over the head with our Bibles; rather, it is ministering to them in grace, love and provision.  Yes, we do hope to EARN the opportunity to share our hearts but I do believe we must earn it. 

Today, I want share with you what I call "4 P's to Empower YOUR Personal Ministry." 

So, grab a coffee.  Have a seat at my table.  Let's chat on this episode of Coffee with Keith.

You know...I believe that life is a journey.  I think you are going to enjoy the journey that my guest today had.  He is The Rt. Rev. Dr. Justin Meier, PHD and he is a Trauma Informed and Resilience Building Therapist, Professor, Denominational Director of Church Planting and Anglican Bishop.  Bishop Meier's church and dioceses are fully open and affirming but as you will hear, he himself was not always so.  Now, he works tirelessly to provide that safe space and spiritual direction to those within his church and without.  You will love his spirit, his insight, and his heart for service. 

So, grab that cup of coffee, have a seat at my table, and let's chat with Dr. Justin Meier.

On this Bible Talks episode of Coffee with Keith, I share with you my reflections on Romans 16:17-20.  In it the writer ends his letter with a final blessing but not before giving the recipients of the letter, and subsequently us, the warning to be careful of folks who will try to persuade us away from God.  In this message today, I take it even a little further and warn us to test  the teaching from within the CHURCH universal. 

With that said, I offer you 4 reminders when it comes to testing the teachings you hear.  I hope these help.

Thank you for listening to Coffee with Keith.

I have a real treat for you on today's Table Talks edition of Coffee with Keith.  My guest today is the Rev Mark Thompson.  Mark, father, grandfather, pastor, and social activist, lives in St Ignance, Mich.  He is an Elder in the Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church, having served for 35 years.  He cam out at the age of 50 after realizing that being in the closet was leading to more suicidal ideation.  After coming out, he was able to be a stronger advocate, leading the way for more queer clergy and others to feel safe and to live authentic lives.  His advocacy involves creating "safe space" for queer people of all ages.

One of his passions is a camp for queer kids to attend.  To find out more about that, visit https://www.facebook.com/CampBelovedLakeLouise

In today's Bible Talks edition of Coffee with Keith, I tackles Colossians 2:6-15 and share the warning that Paul issues to the Colossian church.  Although the text is filled with learning and warning, I wanted to concentrate on the instruction that Paul gave to them about their faith in Christ. 

The key, in the text, as well as in our own lives, is to make sure out root (or foundation) of faith is strong; otherwise, others can certainly come along and destroy it.  So, in this episode of Coffee with Keith, I use the word ROOT as an acrostic for the four foundational truths of forming your own authentic and affirming faith. 

Okay...grab your coffee, have a seat at my table, and let's chat about it on this Bible Talk's edition of Coffee with Keith.

I have had the opportunity to speak and perform for so many Christians and churches around the USA over the last 20 plus years and one thing I often see is...SAD CHRISTIANS.  In fact, I would suggest that for many, the life of being a Christian has become more of a dreaded job than a lifestyle of joy.

Today, I share with you from Luke 10:38-42, a text about Jesus' visit to the home of Martha and Mary.  Join me as I read the text and share a few thoughts.  And be warned...I do kinda get on my soapbox.  lol

Grab a coffee, have a seat at my table, and let's chat on this episode of Coffee with Keith.

We all have life stories and one of my greatest pleasures is hearing the stories of my guests here on the Coffee with Keith podcast.  Each week, in our Table Talks episodes, I get to hear from folks who are doing the work and living life.  This week is no exception.

Today, my guest is the "Gay Pastor Tom," who shares with us his journey from California to the mountains of NC and how God called him, and rescued him, to the life and work he is doing now.  I think there are several things in this chat you will connect with.  I so appreciate Tom's honesty and heart in the conversation and I think you are going to love hearing his story.

In this Bible Talks episode of Coffee with Keith, I look at Amos 7:7-17.  From this little studied book, we can draw great wisdom.  In this section, the prophet speaks of the Lord and the plumb line.  The prophesy goes on to warn Israel of God's accountability for their hearts and actions.  They felt sure that God would attack their enemies but how could He speak against them.  This text shows us a little about this prophetic word and how they responded.  Give a listen as I share a few thoughts on this story and how we might apply it in our world and life today. 

Grab a coffee, have a seat at my table, and let's chat on this episode of Coffee with Keith.

Today, my returning guest is Life Coach and Pastor, Brandy Kizer.  Brandy is an American born southern girl, with sweet tea running through her veins.  Her greatest passion is making it impossible for others to not know Jesus.  After work hours, you can probably find Brandy tucked away reading, at a gem show, or planning her next big adventure.

In this episode, Brandy catch up on her life since the last episode and the quickly move into this topic of the "Reprobate Mind" and how that relates to the Queer Community.  Truth is, this chat covers a lot of topics and is a free-flowing conversation between two people who love God and just trying to figure things out.  I

I must confess that I talked more in this episode than I had planned but for some reason, maybe it was too much coffee, I got wound up. 

So, grab a coffee, sit at my table, and let's chat with Brandy Kizer.  Just a word of warning...HANG ON!  LOL
