The flow of God's spirit cannot be contained by man's doctrines, institutions, or preconceived notions, often moving in ways that challenge our theological frameworks and expectations.

• God's next move won't be contained by man's institutions, doctrines, or ideas but will move in ways He's ordained
• Revival rarely looks like we expect, and sometimes appears as disruption rather than church growth
• Churches often resist moves of God they cannot control, prioritizing doctrine over deliverance
• Financial abundance in churches while congregants struggle represents a fundamental misalignment with Christ's values
• Religious leaders should be equipped to heal and deliver people but often resist those who actually do it
• Christians frequently mistake limited knowledge for expertise, especially regarding scripture and prophecy
• Celebrity Christianity created a generation that knows preachers' quotes better than Bible verses
• Personal time with God and His Word provides more reliable guidance than following popular teachings

Get into the Word for yourself—read God's Holy Scriptures, listen to the Holy Spirit, and be the church. Don't be wrapped around the axle on attending a church that's dead as a doornail. Be the church.

Have you ever wondered if today's church challenges are actually new? The answer might surprise you. Drawing from Eusebius's seminal work "The Church History," this episode dives deep into ecclesiastical patterns that have repeated throughout centuries, echoing Solomon's ancient wisdom that "there is nothing new under the sun."

We examine how the early church transitioned from the apostolic power-focused gospel to an increasingly doctrine-centered approach—a shift with profound implications for authentic spiritual expression. The most sobering segment confronts our modern misunderstanding of "martyrdom." While many today claim persecution over hurt feelings or minor inconveniences, Eusebius documents believers who endured unimaginable tortures for their faith. Their stories provide perspective that should humble contemporary Christians.

The episode also tackles the perennial challenge of discerning genuine spiritual manifestations from manufactured religious experiences. Jesus addressed this very tension when observing how people rejected both John the Baptist's asceticism and his own more socially engaged ministry. Through history's lens, we see that authentic power sometimes appears disorganized yet bears fruit that glorifies Christ, while polished performances may be spiritually empty.

Throughout this exploration, we're reminded of Paul's warning that "knowledge puffs up, but love edifies." While historical understanding enriches our faith, it must never supersede our relationship with Christ or expressions of genuine love. As Eusebius himself observed, periods of persecution often followed times when the church grew comfortable and complacent—a sobering pattern worth considering in our current cultural moment. Join us as we learn from the past to better navigate our present spiritual journey. What ancient wisdom might be most relevant to your walk with Christ today?

C-Dub and Bones explore Jesus' controversial healings on the Sabbath and how religious leaders were more concerned with preserving tradition than celebrating restoration. Through examining scripture passages in Luke 6 and Luke 13, they uncover powerful insights about how modern churches can similarly prioritize rules over relationship.

• Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, triggering outrage from religious leaders
• The withered right hand symbolizes how churches can lose their power and authority
• Religious systems often become more focused on methods than purpose
• We easily become indifferent or jealous when hearing testimonies of God's work in others' lives
• Churches enthusiastically pray for revival but may resist it when it arrives outside their control
• Fear of losing influence drives much religious opposition to God's unexpected movements
• We need to crucify our flesh daily, including our desire for control and recognition

Ever notice how some Christian leaders present a polished façade while others overshare every struggle on social media? Both miss the mark of true servant leadership.

Drawing from Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus, we explore what genuine leadership in the body of Christ requires—character that stands up to scrutiny. The recent wave of ministry scandals reveals what happens when gifting outpaces maturity. Leaders face a unique challenge: their platforms magnify both their strengths and flaws. Some failures expose truly demonic behavior, while others simply reveal the character deficiencies that pressure and prominence bring to light.

Yet the solution isn't broadcasting every personal struggle for clicks and attention. Jesus himself underwent wilderness testing privately before public ministry. There's wisdom in processing certain challenges with God alone, building substance behind your gifting where nobody's watching. When you've gained victory or received clear direction to share, your testimony becomes powerful—not because you're perfect, but because you've been proven.

The wilderness process may not be comfortable, but it's essential. It addresses the gap between spiritual gifts and leadership maturity. If you're sensing a call to ministry or already serving in leadership, remember that effective discipleship requires having "your stuff together" in the areas where you lead. Not perfection—substance.

Willard and Carol McDonnell share their journey in prophetic ministry, balancing firmness with love while emphasizing the importance of loving God and His people above all else.

Important topics of discussion include:

Freedom in Christ or submission to religious systems? That's the challenging question at the heart of this thought-provoking episode that exposes the spirit of control infiltrating many churches today.

Jesus taught that we cannot serve two masters. When church protocols and pastoral directives become more important than the leading of the Holy Spirit, believers find themselves trapped in a system that produces obedient church members rather than mature followers of Christ. Galatians 5:1-3 reminds us to "stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free" – a freedom that applies not just to the law of Moses but to all religious systems that create bondage....including our church protocols.

Perhaps most provocatively, we explore why some believers actually prefer controlled environments. The responsibility of Spirit-led living can feel overwhelming to those accustomed to being told what to do. Yet this discomfort doesn't justify returning to systems that restrict the liberty Christ died to provide. True spiritual authority flows from authentic relationship with God, not titles or positions. As Jesus taught in Matthew 20, genuine leadership in His kingdom manifests as servanthood, not domination.
