Although he should be king, Simba is haunted by the hurt of the past, the loss of his father. Because of this, he finds himself living far below where he should be living, and his kingdom is suffering too. When we fail to step into our place, the world suffers. But when we remember who we are in Christ, we can overcome the hurts of the past and live in the victory God has called us to.

But in Rocky III, success has gone to his head. His head and his heart are not in the fight - he is no longer doing what it took to ensure his initial success. After a crushing defeat that he was not prepared for, and the loss of his mentor, trainer, and friend, Rocky has to make a comeback. Listen with us as we explore this classic film and learn to make a comeback!

Doing things HIS way will get the results you need!

It's been awhile. We've been shaking up and rearranging a few things and planning to come back strong in 2019. Join with us as we close out 2018 by celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!We start with a Christmas worship set. No snow, no reindeer, no Santa, no Grinch -- just six upbeat, joyful songs celebrating the REAL reason we as Christians celebrate this time of year, JESUS. Then we dig into the Word of God to see just why Jesus came. Here's a hint: He didn't do it for Himself, because He is Love, and Love seeks not its own. He came for us! In the message, I reference the for KING AND COUNTRY version of "Little Drummer Boy", which I showed as a special video in this service. It's not included in the podcast for copyright reasons, but you can see the video on YouTube here.

First things first, go watch this video from the Altar Boys.Altar Boys - You Are LovedThen come listen to Part 6 of the WAU: Who Are You? series. Who Are You? You Are LOVED!  

From Ephesians 1, we continue exploring who we are in Christ. We are signed for and purchased, sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, and delivered and redeemed in Him.

Episodes 97 and 98 are taken from the same text, in two different facilities. It's amazing how the same text, with a different audience, can go two divergent directions. At Eddie Warrior, from Ephesians 1, we focused on the fact that we are ACCEPTED in the Beloved.

Because we minister in different facilities, not all of them get the material at the same time. So this is only Part 2 at Cushing while it was more along the lines of part 4 at Eddie Warrior.

Earlier this year I started a new series entitled WAU? (Who Are You?) I've misplaced the first two parts of the series, but here's the first part I currently have available. Because Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, and because He is alive in us, we have been MADE ALIVE!

This was close to the end of my teaching of Dad's "Nine Things You Need to Know to Live in This World", and it leads into our next series, "Who Are You?" We take a look at who we are in Christ and who He is in us.

I closed out the 2016 Streams conference talking about what happens when God's Words become your words.

Jody brings us a real-life example of the power and faithfulness of God in Saturday afternoon's second session at Streams 2016.

I shared with the Saturday afternoon congregation at Streams on this topic. We must have a firm foundation that the Word of God, as written in the Bible, is fully authoritative.

Rick brings us a word of encouragement and power at the Friday night session of Streams.

Rick shares with the Friday afternoon congregation with a totally different take on spiritual warfare. When you "fight" from a position of union with and in Christ, it changes the way you react to the "attacks" of the enemy.

Friday afternoon's first session from Streams 2016

Our great friend Jody Baker shares with the Thursday night session of Streams, talking about maintaining the "garden" of our souls.

My grandmother, Josie Dickson, shared with our Thursday afternoon congregation about the I AM statements Jesus made in the book of John.

The FAM Podcast returns! Streams in the Desert 2016 kicked off with an empowering message from our great friend Rick Manis talking about the help that the Holy Spirit brings us.
