"We just want to put quality products out there at a very reasonable price."

— Greg Parsons

In this episode, Doug Apple sits down with local Tallahassee craftsman Greg Parsons, the founder of All-American Adirondack. Greg shares his journey from building experimental chairs out of free pallets to mastering the art of high-quality outdoor furniture using kiln-dried, pressure-treated wood. They discuss the unique design of Adirondack chairs, the importance of using materials that withstand the Florida sun, and how Greg provides personalized, handcrafted furniture at a price that beats the big-box retailers.

This message serves as the fourth installment in a series on partnership, focusing specifically on being opportunistic. Pastor Joseph Davis breaks down the distinction between those who simply consume the benefits of a church and those who reciprocate through covenant partnership. He addresses the reality of spiritual warfare, the importance of mental health awareness in the church, and the sovereign nature of God to use people who are still navigating their own personal "leprosy" or issues.

-- God is looking for partners, not just members. While membership provides identity, partnership requires contributing your skills, prayers, and resources to the mission of Christ.

-- Growth in the church must be about quality, not just quantity. True growth is measured by the administration of the Spirit and the depth of discipleship within the congregation.

-- Spiritual and natural healing are both valid. There is a need for balance between professional mental health support and the spiritual authority to cast out demonic oppression.

-- God uses people with defects. Like Naaman, you can be honorable and favored while still carrying "issues." Your current state does not disqualify you from being an instrument of God’s deliverance.

-- Opportunistic partnership looks for ways to bless others even in difficult seasons. Just as the captive maid pointed Naaman toward his healing, our testimony can lead others to their breakthrough.

As one year ends and another begins, many find themselves reflecting on the highs and lows of the past seasons. In "The Kingdom of God," Pastor Leo Bray shares a prophetic dream and a sobering scriptural insight from Mark 6:5—where Jesus could do "no mighty work" because of a lack of faith and honor. This message is a roadmap for any believer who is tired of living on "a little" and is ready to experience the abundance of the Kingdom.

Pastor Leo outlines that the Kingdom of God is governed by specific protocols. Just as hospitality and generosity open doors, the protocol of honor is essential for seeing "Heaven on Earth." He breaks down how the spirit of dishonor blocks our progress and provides three practical areas where we must restore honor to see God's best.

Key Points of Discussion:

-- Moving Beyond Shadow Success: Understanding that getting "healed from sickness" is good, but "walking in divine health" is the abundance God truly desires for His covenant people.

-- The Barrier of Dishonor: Identifying how a culture of dishonor in the world has crept into the church, preventing us from receiving the full weight of the "mighty works" God wants to perform.

-- Honoring Authority: Why honoring spiritual and physical authority—from parents and CEOs to pastors and teachers—is a prerequisite for long life and kingdom advancement.

-- Redeeming God-Given Opportunities: A call to stop wasting time and resources. Pastor Leo challenges us to audit our schedules and habits to ensure we aren't "cursing" the opportunities God provides through laziness or lack of focus.

-- The Worthiness of the Lamb: Ultimately, honor is about recognizing the sacrifice of Jesus. Choosing to obey His word and speak words of life is the highest form of honor we can offer the King.

In this insightful interview, Mike Sharman of Share HealthCare joins Doug Apple to discuss how small, incremental changes can lead to radical transformations over time. They explore the concept of the "aggregation of marginal gains," a philosophy used by world-class athletes to turn failure into championship-level success. Sharman applies this concept to our daily walk with Christ, our physical health, and our financial stewardship. By eliminating the "aggravation of incremental losses" caused by harmful lifestyle choices, believers can find freedom from the skyrocketing costs of modern health insurance.

Main Points of Discussion:

-- The 1% Principle: How small improvements in your devotions, work, and health result in a large increase in effectiveness over a year.

-- The British Cycling Story: How a team that couldn't even buy bikes due to their poor reputation became world champions through small but meticulous adjustments.

-- Incremental Losses: The hidden costs of "defensive medicine," bureaucracy, and lifestyle habits like tobacco, marijuana, and alcohol.

-- The Financial "God Margin": How Share HealthCare members save thousands of dollars by living out biblical principles of moderation and health.

-- Stewardship and Generosity: Using the savings from healthcare to fund missions, church repairs, and family goals.

A Prophetic Blueprint for Your Year of Overflow

In this powerful end-of-year message, Apostle Otis B. Young provides a spiritual roadmap for the transition from 2025 into 2026. Drawing from Luke 5, he illustrates how a single word from God can turn a night of fruitlessness into a "net-breaking" miracle. The core of this message centers on the "better" life—becoming a better disciple, experiencing better blessings, and surrounding yourself with better people. Apostle Young emphasizes that while 2025 was a year of groundbreaking and overflow, the flow only begins when we "get over" the obstacles and people that once held us back.

Main Points of the Teaching:

-- The "Better" Mindset: Choosing to be better because of what you went through rather than becoming bitter by it.

-- Speaking into the Atmosphere: Understanding that death and life are in the power of the tongue and speaking into your next year before you walk into it.

-- Discipleship vs. Membership: Shifting the focus from simply filling church pews to reproducing the character of Christ in others.

-- Partners vs. Leeches: The importance of guarding your inner circle and distinguishing between destiny helpers and those who only seek to drain your resources.

-- The Awestruck Life: Expecting God to perform "awestruck" miracles in your finances, your peace, and your family that leave you in wonder of His power.

Mastering the Art of Spiritual Hearing

Are you waiting for a prophet to come to town to hear a word from God? Pastor Omar Ellison reminds us that the greatest Prophet who ever lived—Jesus Christ—resides within every believer. This message is a deep dive into John 10 and the Book of Proverbs, illustrating that hearing God is not a mystical gift for a few, but a covenant right for all of His sheep.

Pastor Omar challenges us to cultivate a "sensitive heart"—one that is quick to detach from the noise of the world and incline toward the still, small voice of the Spirit. By understanding that the battlefield is the mind, we can learn to "bow our ears" and apply our hearts to God’s knowledge rather than our own understanding.

Main Points of the Message:

-- The voice of the Father is primarily recognized through our consciousness and thoughts rather than an audible sound; He uses our mind to speak to us.

-- Every believer has spiritual ears and eyes that must be tuned to the Spirit to discern the Father’s leading from the stranger’s mimicry.

-- The enemy’s primary goal is to clutter the mind with noise, news, and distractions to prevent us from hearing the subtle guidance of the Lord.

-- Like King Solomon, we should pray for an "understanding heart," which translates literally to a "listening heart" that is eager to be led.

-- Opening the door to God (as mentioned in Revelation 3:20) is synonymous with obedience; when we obey what we hear, the voice becomes clearer.

-- Sensitivity to the Spirit involves a willingness to "detach" quickly—turning off the TV or the phone the moment we sense the Lord is dealing with us.

-- We must intentionally "bow" our minds, humbling our own logic and opinions to make room for God’s superior knowledge and understanding.

References:

(1) The New Compact Topical Bible gives over 70 categories related to the divinity of Jesus Christ with multiple scripture references to each category. I estimate that there are over 350 such NT references. There is another section identified as the divine sonship of Jesus with multiple references to those that testify to that fact.

(2) Once we understand what the apostle John meant by the term WORD, it becomes DIFFICULT to read anything else into this passage without first concluding Jesus’ deity.

(3) For one thing I have said the Jehovah’s Witnesses think the Bible has been corrupted. The Bible says the word was God; that is clearly and emphatically indicated.

(4) In the Jehovah’s Witnesses New World translation they say that the Word is “a” God. I intend to show that the Jehovah’s Witnesses interpretation can be refuted. That suggestion results from an UNSCHOLARLY INTERPRETATION of the fact that the Greek word theos for God appears in John 1:1 without the definite article for “the.”

There are 2 problems with the Jehovah’s Witnesses interpretation. First, the NT refers to God 282 times where the definite article is missing. In fact, Jehovah’s Witnesses translates in 94% of the 281 times other than John 1:1 the same phrase as “God.” To be consistent they should translate that as “a god.” Should John 1:18 be translated “No one has seen ‘a god’ at any time”? No, that is too big a stretch for anybody who has an open mind.

(5) We need to clearly identify that Jesus of Nazareth is the Word mentioned in John 1:1. I do this by saying Verses 17 and 18 SEALS THE DEAL that Jesus is the Word: “For the law was given through MOSES, but grace and truth came through JESUS CHRIST. No one has seen God at any time. The only BEGOTTEN of the Father He has declared Him, fully explained Him, and exegeted Him.”

(6) We all understand that a son has the same nature as the father. If the Heavenly Father is divine, we must conclude that the Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth, too is divine.

This is episode 256.

In this timely message, Servant Marcia Carty addresses the spiritual climate of late 2025 and provides a roadmap for success in 2026. She defines favor as God's unmerited divine approval and a special relationship where His presence equips the believer for life's journey. Through the "Nehemiah Strategy," listeners learn how to seek God first before approaching earthly authorities, ensuring that the "hand of God" is upon their work.

Key Teaching Points:

-- The Seven Keys to walking in God’s favor include embracing Jesus, surrendering to God’s will, walking in obedience, finding life in the Word, cultivating worship, serving others, and persisting in prayer.

-- Following the example of Noah, we see that favor is extended in times of great corruption to those who are blameless and walk intentionally with God.

-- The Nehemiah Strategy teaches us to mourn, fast, and pray for our nation and families, acknowledging God’s covenant before asking for success in the natural realm.

-- Using the story of Esther, we learn that favor often requires a sacrifice and a strategic "gift of words" to overcome enemies who seek our destruction.

-- When facing "scorners," believers must declare that the God of Heaven will prosper them, refusing to give the enemy a portion of their spiritual inheritance.
