Refuse Ordinary

What defines you? When it comes to knowing who you are, who gets the final say? It may seem straightforward, but the truth is, it's easy to get confused!   We're surrounded by a world where our circumstances, our society and our experiences constantly try to define our identity. So where can you find the truth of who you are and who you were created to be?  For Episode 1, we're joined by Chloe Wellsand, graduate and teacher at The Father's House School of Transformation to talk about the importance of letting Jesus tell us who we are.  Check out School of Transformation:  www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Does your faith feel dry? Do you often wonder if you're missing something or if there's something more to life following Jesus? If that sounds like you, you're not alone! So what does it take replace that dry faith with one that's fruitful and overflowing?  We're joined this week by Ryan Kelly, Worship Pastor at The Father's House Church and a leader and graduate of the School of Transformation. Ryan shares how one simple perspective shift made all the difference for him, unlocking a whole new level of loving and serving Jesus.  Check out School of Transformation:  www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Do you ever feel lonely or lost in your Christian walk? Do you wish you had someone to learn from and point you in the right direction? Christianity was meant to be done with others, following those who are going the right way, just as the disciples followed Jesus.  In a culture where there's a heavy emphasis on independence, Jesus calls us to follow. This is where discipleship comes in. We as Christians need the help and support of others in order to help us stick to the path that leads to Jesus. If our goal is to look more like Jesus, we need to be following someone whose goal everyday is to look more like Jesus. Yet not everyone who claims to have a relationship with Jesus is someone who would be safe to follow. It is important to examine a person's fruit to see that they really are someone that you can learn from as you press on towards Jesus. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it.  Check out School of Transformation:  www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

How would you define love? Do you find this subject to be confusing, sometimes bringing up more questions than answers? These days it feels like everyone has their own definition of love, and some definitions of love seem to produce results that imply love was never really present. So instead of coming up with our own definition of love, maybe it's time we listen to Jesus' definition of love. Jesus loved with complete selflessness. He gave it all, from a genuine place, and changed people's lives no matter who they were. We need to let Jesus' definition of love become our definition of love and decide to partner with Him and love the one in front of us.   Check out School of Transformation:  www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Do you feel stuck on seeing the vision for your life? Do you wonder what God is calling you to?   Something that gets overlooked quite often is the importance of following another person's vision. Following another's vision can actually be following your vision as you allow God to use people and experiences to prepare you for what He has for you.    When you feel stuck or have a hard time dreaming sometimes the best thing to do is to just take a step. What you may need is to get some momentum and let others come alongside you as you move forward. Sometimes instead of knowing the whole layout of the house, you'll have to just walk into the room right in front of you.

In a time where the focus seems to be on self-care and setting boundaries, what is our life with Jesus really supposed to look like? Does the idea of giving everything for Jesus sound daunting or burdensome?   Giving your life away is about a response to Jesus and who He is in your life. A relationship with Jesus is not transactional. It is not about giving so that you can get something in return. Jesus already gave us the greatest gift, and we have the opportunity to respond to what He has given us.    We actually get to partner with what Jesus is doing. All that He is is more than enough to fill us up as we respond to the calling on our lives to love those around us.   Check out School of Transformation:  www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Do you struggle with approaching Jesus? Do you feel like you have to be a certain way for Him to accept you?   In Episode 1 of Season 2, we are joined by School of Transformation student, Kevin Kornelsen, and one of the senior pastors of the Father's House Church, Vicki Orsillo. We go into Kevin's story of figuring out the answers to the above questions. We talk about identity and how Jesus loves us into a place of wanting to be with Him and do what brings Him joy. We also discuss the opportunity we have to make a choice—to choose to believe what Jesus says and does and let that change us. And to top it all off, we chat about what grace really means in our relationship with Jesus. This episode is packed with perspective, truth, and real encounters with who Jesus is.   Check out School of Transformation:  www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Galen is joined by Lisa Kelly, who talks about the character refinement that has had to take place in her life as she learned to use her giftings to truly bless those around her. It's a discussion of passion, joy, and fulfillment in using your giftings alongside the One who has given them.      Check out School of Transformation: www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Welcome to the first episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season, instead of our regular interview style episodes, we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.    In this first episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Friendship With God", taught by Lisa Kelly. This class takes a look at what it means to have a real, tangible, relationship with the living God without filters getting in the way.

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season, instead of our regular interview style episodes, we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.    In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "New Covenant Standard", taught by Lisa Bowers. What is the standard Jesus came to show and teach us in the New Testament? More than a list of rules, the standard calls us deeper with Jesus in a relationship that stands through trials and points people to Jesus. It's a standard that causes us to work through false lenses and beliefs so that we can be connected with our Good Father for eternity. It's a standard that, if followed, shows Jesus to the world just by meeting us. Let's run after that standard—that beautiful, transforming, fulfilling standard that Jesus has set for us!   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org.   Check out School of Transformation: www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3!

Nathan Taylor brings up the reason for heaven and hell, and the passion God had in sending His Son to the cross so that none should perish.

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season, instead of our regular interview style episodes, we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.    In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Living In The Reality Of Eternity", taught by Lisa Kelly. This lesson challenges us to look at what we are investing in—present comforts or treasures in Heaven? When leading others, are we seeking to be liked and understood, or are we seeking to help them do whatever Jesus has called them to do? We have a challenge to fight against the urge to have quick and comfortable results in order to lead people to the One who can ultimately save them. Are you up for that challenge?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org.   Check out School of Transformation: www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.    In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "The Death Process", taught by Chloe Wellsand. This lesson looks at what it's like to let go of your life, your comforts, and your dreams, and lay them at the feet of Jesus. Though life may have taught us that it's safer to look out for ourselves, we have an opportunity to trust our Good Father to provide for us. And as we lay our lives down before Jesus, He is able to help us grow and flourish in the plan He has for us. Will you let go of your old life and let Jesus be the Lord of your life?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org.   Check out School of Transformation: www.transformationschool.org | @SchoolOfTransformationOroville on Facebook | @sotoroville on Instagram | @schooloftransformation on TikTok

In this lesson, Nathan discusses the authority Jesus walked in on earth, and looks at the source from which Jesus received that authority.

This class discusses what Jesus meant when He said "Go and sin no more"  in the gospel of John. This phrase, and the intention to aim at obedience means we must know the standard that He has.

This class is all about letting God's love transform us and free us. In order to do so though, we need to pursue healing for the lies and hurts that we have lived with. We get to choose to let Him come closer, and we get to choose to figure out what is blocking us. The goal is to walk in freedom and in His plans and purpose for our life.   At the end of this lesson, Chloe gives a few questions to ask the Lord: 1. Is there anything that is blocking me? 2.

This class brings up the importance of intimacy and being vulnerable in order to grow and become closer to God. In order to have intimacy with God, we need to pursue healing for the hurts that we have experienced.

If Jesus hasn't rejected you, will you take the chance at believing that you don't have to live in the rejection and insecurities you have experienced?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org

This class discusses how jealousy can be a good thing when it relates to the way God feels for us or the way we must protect our relationship with God. But jealousy can also reveal where we don't trust God to provide for us. When we celebrate the giftings God has given to others, we are able to counteract jealousy in our lives. The goal is to trust that God will give us what we need!   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org

The Pharisees often got offended by Jesus as He held them to a high standard in their position as spiritual leaders at the chance that they would correct their course. What is your response when Jesus offends your culture? Are you able to course correct to align with His will, or do you try to invalidate what He is saying?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org

This class discusses The only way to know what God wants is to read the Bible and get to know Him through His words. Jesus' words are confronting and uncomfortable and the enemy wants to use that to pull us away from our relationship with Jesus. But when we choose to follow Jesus over our circumstances, we trust that He is who He says He is and we align ourselves with Him. Who are you following? Do you run from the confronting words of Jesus or do you embrace them and change?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org

This class is all about the importance of asking questions, and how to ask questions that will help you grow and learn.

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.    In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Trusting God With Our Future", taught by Lisa Bowers. In determining what God wants us to do with our lives, it can be easy to hear through our own filters and desires. For this reason, it is important to let people in on the journey and find healing for the dysfunctional area of our hearts that could steer us in a direction that isn't good for us. The goal is to look more and more like Jesus and to be consumed by Him to the point that He becomes the vision for our life and the most important thing in our lives.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org

All those who had believed in the Acts church were together in the sense that their lives became one. There was no "yours and mine", or "you and me" anymore—there was only "us and me". The Acts Church continued with one mind, rushing along in unison with one passion.This was and is made possible because of the Holy Spirit. We are called to live like this, together with one mind, all the time.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we are joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.   In this episode we will be sitting in on a class called “What is Prophecy” taught by Lisa Kelly.

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we are joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.   In this episode we will be sitting in on a class called “Spiritual Growth is Built on Discipline” taught by Nathan Taylor. A foundation of discipline begins with denying ourselves and joining our lives with Jesus. This journey challenges how we think and act, and though discipline may feel unpleasant at first, it ultimately leads to the blessing of righteousness. It's choosing a life fully joined with Jesus even when trials come our way.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we are joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.   In this episode we will be sitting in on a class called “Grace and Honor” taught by Lisa Bowers. Grace and honor is one of the ways that God displayed His love for us. Our perception of grace is tainted by the world's system that says we need to earn everything. But there is nothing we can do to earn grace because it is an unmerited favor of God towards man. We don't deserve what Jesus gives us, and in response we get to live with Him and for Him.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

This class brings powerful insight into how we can successfully walk through the tough circumstances that we encounter. "But God" is a phrase that changes things. We need Him to be our source of comfort and the one who does the work in us to make us fruitful, but we must respond to Him.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.    In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Responding To Jesus", taught by Lisa Kelly. This class explores the humility of Jesus, and the accessibility to Him that He offers us, so much so that we may get used to it. Because of experiences we have with people, we may be keeping Jesus at a distance. But what is the appropriate response to Him? Will you let your heart go there?

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.   In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Misconceptions About 'Give Your Life Away'", taught by Nathan Taylor. Giving your life away for Jesus, as introduced to the disciples, would have meant something very different than it has come to mean in today's culture, where it was literally a life or death situation. Sadly, it's been cheapend to things such as volunteering and tithing, when it was really founded on an exchange of your life into Jesus' hands. Giving your life away starts with asking Jesus, "What do You want me to do today?" What's the need that is crossing your path today?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation. In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "How to Trust A God That You Don't Fully Understand", taught by Pastor Steve Orsillo. The way to understanding God is by trusting Him—trust comes before understanding and we trust God even when we don't understand by deciding to trust Him. Then, the revelation of who He says He is comes and the understanding with it. Understanding does not come to make us trust. Trust comes to make us understand. Where do we need to trust Jesus in our lives today?     If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation. In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Not My Will But Yours", taught by Pastor Ryan Kelly. We look into things we choose to do, have to do and want to do. It's easy to do the things we want to do, but what about things that we are perhaps not as passionate about? We get to choose to love others and meet the needs in front of us, just as Jesus chose to lay His life down for us. It's about following Jesus and His will for us, which is to serve those He wants us to serve. Our will and desires are not always bad, but we want to be aligned to God's will for us and be submitted to His calling for our lives.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation. In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Truth and Love Definitive In the Person of Jesus", taught by Pastor Maria McWhorter. Our experiences and feelings have fashioned how we understand truth. We don't usually question our thoughts and emotions, why we think or feel a certain way, and whether it's true. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. When our emotions war against God's truth, we have a choice in believing His truth including Jesus' definition of love.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation. In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Barriers to Spiritual Growth", taught by Pastor Stefanie Mumby. The greatest barrier to spiritual growth is self-righteousness. We can't hold on to both our own righteousness and the righteousness Jesus offers — it's one or the other. Are we relying on our own strength, or are we receiving what He's already provided? The real barrier is our tendency to stay in control, to depend on ourselves instead of leaning fully on Jesus. So here's the question: what's pulling you away from going to Him?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation. In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Control", taught by Pastor Lisa Bowers. Control isn't all bad—there's a healthy side to it and an unhealthy side. Unfortunately, many of us tend to lean toward unhealthy control, often shaped by experiences in our childhood. In this podcast, you'll learn to recognize the difference between healthy and unhealthy control, understand why we struggle with unhealthy patterns, and discover how to release that grip and trust Jesus instead.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation. In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "The Power of Following", taught by Pastor Johnny Bowers. Through the life of Jesus—who only did what He saw His Father doing—we see a powerful example of what it means to follow. Pastor Johnny unpacks the purpose behind following, explores the common struggles we face, and shares insights on how to overcome them.

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.     In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Discernment vs. Judgement", taught by Pastor Nathan Taylor.  Pastor Nathan breaks down the critical difference between the two—what we're called to do, what we should be on the lookout for, and what we need to avoid. He challenges us to reflect on what we're producing in our lives, because it's the fruit we bear that reveals whether we are in step with the Holy Spirit. But here's the big question: Do we even know what good fruit is supposed to look like? Let's find out together.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfTransformationOroville/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sotoroville/

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.   In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Why We Need Jesus", taught by Luke Pollock. In a culture that prizes self-reliance, needing someone is often seen as a weakness. But our very abilities, strength, and identity come from our Creator. Without Him, we have nothing and independence is an illusion. Like a child who fully depends on a parent, we too must learn to depend on Jesus. Admitting our need for Him isn't weakness, it's the beginning growth and maturity.   What would change in your life if you lived like you truly needed Jesus every day?   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org
