Welcome to the Stoke It Up! podcast.
A podcast encouraging you in your journey with God.
This week's podcast is with Pastor Trey Kent.
The topic is on pray, specifically how local churches can be mobilized for praying that changes cities and stokes revival and awakening.

Trey Kent Bio
Trey started Northwest Fellowship in 1993 and has been in full-time ministry since 1986. He has a Masters of Divinity from Oral Roberts University and did Doctor of Ministry work at Fuller Seminary.

April 12, 2023 How does spiritual formation influence disciple making?
Welcome to the Stoke It Up! Podcast. A podcast encouraging you in your journey with God.

I’m Alan Stoddard and I’m your host. Today we are discussing spiritual formation and its relationship to disciple making.

When I think of that important, beefy topic, the name that comes to mind is Daryl Eldridge. Dr. Eldridge lives with his wife Carole in Galveston, Texas. Daryl is the former Dean of Educational Ministries at Southwestern and in 2002 founded the first fully online seminary, Rockbridge Seminary.

March 28, 2023 Jesus Revolution, Calvary Chapel, and Poimen Ministries
On today’s podcast I interview Bill Holdridge. He became a Christian in 1969 at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa during the Jesus Movement. In this episode he tells part of that story in his story; his story is unique.

Bill has been in Pastor for many years. You can see that and more in his bio on his ministry website.

If you haven’t seen the movie, Jesus Revolution, I highly recommend you see it. It will inspire you as to what the possibilities are for the future of the church in our time.

No matter how difficult a culture may be toward the gospel, God is always able to bring revival to a church and spiritual awakening to a community. We want to live on that life-giving edge.

Listen to the podcast. It would really help if you would leave a review.

March 20, 2023 Recapturing Evangelism with Matt Queen
We want to help you kindle afresh, the fire of your soul for the Great Commission. Of every discipline in the church and every practice, surely it culminates through the Great Commission. Enter Matt Queen.
Dr. Matt Queen is the "chair of fire" at Southwestern Seminary among many other things he is doing at the seminary and at Lane Prairie Baptist Church as the Associate Pastor of Evangelism.
Matt has a huge heart for people. He’s written a new book to help local churches develop realistic strategies for reaching people today with the gospel and also stay loyal to the New Testament.
Matt personalizes the strategy with specific real life scenarios that are easily grasped for us to use in day-to-day life.
I recommend you get mats book, “recapturing evangelism“ and read it in the next 30 days.
Get Recapturing Evangelism here.
Get The Gospel Invitation here.
Matt Queen’s quote from his former Pastor, Charles Stewart :
The Holy Spirit guideline: and whatever circumstances, I find myself, when the Holy Spirit prompt me to engage in specific individual in a gospel conversation, I want to do so obediently.
The five minute guideline: if the Lord gives me a captive audience with an individual for five more minutes, I will try to engage the person in a gospel conversation.
The Homestead guideline: when the Lord brings a person whom I have not previously met onto my property, or into my home, I will try to engage that person in a gospel conversation.
The detour guideline: when the Lord interrupts my daily routine, so as you direct me to a place that puts me in contact with someone, I would not otherwise have met, I will try to engage that person in a gospel conversation.
