321 – If Jesus came to your home town, what would he do?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Jesus came to your community?

Who would he talk to? Who would he preach to? Who would he heal?

Who would be receptive to his message?

Who would oppose him and try to stop him or get rid of him?

In this week’s episode, we dig into

• The way Jesus ministered to people in their communities
• How some people were receptive to him
• How others were opposed
• What’s going on in our communities today to see how we can get a better idea of how to be more like Jesus in the way we interact with people

312 FF – Have you ever struggled to forgive yourself?

In this week's Freedom Friday episode, we're going to tackle what is sometimes one of the hardest things to do, forgive yourself.

I share my friend Jim's story where he learned to forgive his father and himself for things that happened years ago.

The thing that helped him the most was an odd little exercise I had him try.

It worked!

And it's helped a lot of folks since then actually forgive themselves.

I'd love to hear how you have been able to forgive yourself.

318 FF – Are you committing the same sin over and over?

You're not alone. A lot of people struggle with this. I sure have.

In this week's Freedom Friday episode, I share just a few ideas that can help you face these temptations to keep committing the same sin.

• Take an honest look at your self and what you think this sin is giving you
• Realizing whatever sin "gives" you is a counterfeit
• Sin never really meets a need
• God is the only one who can meet your needs
• Temptations don't come from you, but from the "enemy"

317 – What do you think of when you hear the word "evangelism"?

Is it a good thing? Or does it make you cringe?

All too often evangelism today has a negative connotation with some folks. The word is often associated with Christians, who may or may not be imbibing the true spirit of Christ.

Others, even many within the Christian church, get evangelism and proselytizing mixed up.

They don’t want to be too pushy in sharing their faith, so they don’t share it at all. They don’t like people who try to forcefully manipulate them to believe in Christ the way a pushy salesman tries to make a sale. And they don’t want to be that person.

There’s a huge need within the Christian church as a whole to return to the original meaning of the word evangelism.

In this week’s episode we’re going to talk about

• What true evangelism today is
• Why it’s so important for you to participate in it
• The example Jesus gives on how to share your faith

I’m putting together a special program called Guilt Free Faith. So many people I talk to are walking around with guilt and shame they don’t need to hold onto. They deserve to let go of this burden of guilt and live their lives in freedom.

It’s going to be a small group program. I’ll be running it over the next few weeks and it's starting soon. If you’d like more information, contact me and I’ll send you all the details.

316– Welcome to Freedom Friday

Ever wondered why you still feel guilty, even after you repented?

Being free from guilt is so much more that just repenting.

It's really about learning to see yourself in a whole new light, as a child of God instead of as a miserable sinner.

Paul says to put off the old man, be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new man.

He doesn't say to fix up the old man, the old way of seeing yourself as a sinner.

Sin does not define who you are. Only God does.

The more you see yourself the way God defines you as His image and likeness, the more you'll find freedom from any and all guilt.

315 – Keep following Jesus

Have you ever been at a point in your life when you just didn’t know what to do next? It could be a simple project you’re working on at home, at school, or at work.

It could be a career choice or something with long term consequences. Or it could be a major life change on a much grander scale. If you don’t know where you’re going, what do you do next?

You’ve done all you’re allowed to or know how to do, and the next step just isn’t clear or doesn’t seem possible for one reason or another.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the very best thing to do when you don’t know what to do, where you’re going, or how to get there.

It's all about starting with one thing Jesus tells you to do.

Then another, and another.

The more you follow Jesus, the more it clears the spiritual air and you can see more clearly where God is leading you.

314 – Welcome to Freedom Friday

What does it really mean to repent?

It's not just feeling sorry for something you did wrong. It goes much deeper. It's really about getting a deeper spiritual perspective on who you are, who God is, and how much He loves you.

It's about looking at things from the perspective of what is already true in heaven and letting go of old habits and negative ways of thinking that lead to sin.

When you see how much God loves you right now in the kingdom of heaven, the desire to sin and the guilt you feel what what happened in the past, begin to dissolve.

313 – How much do you and your church really want to grow spiritually?

A lot of churches are struggling these days with dwindling membership numbers, but just getting more warm bodies in the pews on Sunday morning is not necessarily a solution or a fulfillment of your church’s mission.

The real need, which is not a new idea, since Jesus talked about it 2,000 years ago, is to be hungry and thirsty for things of the Spirit.

A church that is on fire with the Holy Spirit is a very attractive place to be. Going through the same church routines without the Holy Spirit can be rather boring.

In this week’s episode we’re going to talk about one of the most crucial aspects of a healthy, prospering church.

We each need it as individual church members and we need it collectively as a church body.

It's all about spiritual growth, individually and collectively as a church.

To grow spiritually, you have to really want to grow spiritually.

You have to be hungry and thirsty for righteousness, not just mildly interested in a way that doesn’t require too much effort on your part.

How hungry and thirsty are you and your church to be more like Jesus, to think like he did, to pray like he did, to love like he did, to heal like he did?
