Daybreak Collective

Hey everyone, Dietra and David here... It's been a while. And a lot has transpired. We are here to discuss some of the changes that have happened in our life over the past year or two- namely, that we have ceased to pastor our own Protestant church that we were planting and we have entered into the process of being received into the Eastern Orthodox Church. In this episode, we specifically hear a little bit from Dietra's experience of the Protestant doctrine Sola Scriptura unravelling in her life. We also generally discuss our journey into Orthodoxy and a little bit about how that happened.If you have any questions for us or want to hear more, subscribe to our YouTube Channel where we will be going live as we record future podcasts. You can ask your question in the chat during the Livestream!https://www.youtube.com/@EvansFamily777Thanks for listening and God Bless

Welcome to this special edition of the Daybreak Collective Podcast. In this season, we take a look at the beginning of Daybreak Mission and also our connection to the cult Offspring Church, led by Pastor Calvin Pettigrew. We share about all we have learned through the severe spiritual abuse,  deeply examining it, and how to live out biblical leadership according to the ultimate authority on the matter: God's Word."MY WAY... OR THE HIGHWAY"(Part Nine)Join us in this episode as we continue on in the rest of Connie & Larry Schwindt's story and they begin to tell us more about the events that led up to Calvin leaving the church to re-plant Offspring out of a dance studio in Eaton, Colorado. Connie was a board member of Offspring Church and Larry was a Deacon and they both played an integral role in many of the day to day operations of the church.  They are in a unique position to tell us their story because they joined the church early on, before it was even called Offspring Church, and are able to give us some more insight on what happened before the Evans family arrived, and even more importantly- what happened after they left.This is the second of two episodes with the Schwindt's. We hope this series has blessed you and caused you to rely on Jesus in a greater way as well. God Bless you.See More on Instagram:@offspringchurchisacultDaybreak Mission on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqzZT-fIF6byQEVOyUvKpZQ"At All Costs" is brought to you by Daybreak Mission Church in Galveston, TX.http://www.daybreakmission.netDaybreak Mission on Instagram@daybreakmission

We talked about how COVID affected our street ministry, as well as the "retreats" we took with the Pettigrew's. During the retreats in Carlsbad, Ventura and Northern California, we learned a lot about each other and invested time into our relationships. We also discussed a little more in detail concerning Offspring Church, and the secret revelation that Calvin claims to have received directly from God, setting the stage for the rise of cult-like theology and activity within his ministry.

In this episode, David and Dietra discuss the topic of God's Wrath. What is God's Wrath? When does he pour it out? Are we still going to be here? How does the character of God and the Exodus story help us understand the Rapture and His Wrath?

In this episode, David and Dietra walk through Revelation 11. Who are these Two Witnesses that are spoken of? How do they relate to the timing of the Rapture? We also discuss what it would mean if we were the generation that would experience these Two Witnesses in our lifetime.

In this episode, Dietra and David discuss the identity of who Scripture refers to as The Man of Lawlessness. We dig in deep to the Bible to discover the truth and define this man and what he will do so that we can better understand the coming podcasts and the times that lay ahead.

In this episode, Dietra and David continue their series on the Rapture and End Times and they expand on the topic of The Harvest of the Earth.

In this episode, Dietra and David give a few disclaimers, and sum up the purpose and idea the Lord has given to them for this podcast series on the Rapture and End Times. They discuss what the bible describes as the Harvest of the Earth by the Creator God upon His Return to the Earth.

In this episode, Dietra helps us dive in and understand what the bible describes as "The Restrainer". We discuss the role of The Holy Spirit and/or the Church in Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theology and we go deep into the Scriptures to see who the Bible says is the Restrainer in Daniel 12, Revelation 12, and 2 Thessalonians 2:7.
