Episode 29 – Shabbat Saved My Life! How is Shabbat different from Sunday? WHAT is it? Personal experience had been rejection in church or after-effects of ministry that felt like being run over by a Mack truck! Yet, Heavenly Father called Shabbat a “delight” and “a sign between Me and you.” To an agrarian culture, He said, “Even in harvest, you must rest,” (Exodus 34:12). Even in SPIRITUAL harvest, you must rest! Ministers don't get rest on Sundays. Christianity as a lifestyle worked for the early church. So much in Christian-culture now is off-base from Father's original design. With the Puritan work ethic, an agrarian lifestyle, or exciting spiritual ministry, there is no stopping point—and that alone will deteriorate your health. Discovering what Shabbat is, and taking steps to implement it, is key to your sustained health and well-being. In a 20/20 world, now more than ever!

Life keeps moving, but sometimes we don't recognize that our season has changed. Suddenly, more demands are on the table. Suddenly, a life situation occurs which causes a hard stop. Join our dialog to discover how to recognize what season you're in. Don't miss these extremely helpful, simple practical steps to give yourself grace, and adjust well, so you move gracefully into your season.  

America's not perfect, but we love her. There's a plot afoot to distract from our present challenge—and that's to focus on the wrongs of the past. When the Pilgrims established a place, and the Founding Fathers established a government, it was REVOLUTIONARY. A transformative concept! The BIRTH of freedom, the BIRTH of a new form of representative government is just that—a BIRTH. It needs to be nurtured to grow into MATURITY. Father gives each generation a calling—He never gives each generation ALL the callings. He hasn't placed that burden on a generation, and neither should we. Current work to deconstruct what was birthed before its maturity is DISTRACTING us from the challenges and callings of our day—and if we don't course-correct, the generations to come will suffer because of US. Whatever situation that is wrong, THIS ONE THING will solve it. THIS will transform for today, and the generations to come. Let's join in prayer!

It's so loud in the culture. Join our honest dialog from a 30,000 foot aerial view of two roots, not the fruit which screams for attention, which are driving key issues with unrest today. 1. A spiritual root of socialism and 2. A spiritual root to blaming people groups. When seen as they are, and set right at the spiritual level, the other levels will be aligned as well. Let's close with action -- corporate prayer. 

It's affecting us all, so grab a case of grace and join the dialog on the bigger picture regarding politics. With THIS focus, you can walk right through the waves! What TYPE is Father's government? (Hint: It may not be what you're expecting!) We're in a time of revolution, a total make-over, and two sides are colliding, and those two sides are not political parties. Acknowledging Father's government with its platform and taking these TWO simple actions on it open the door to BLESSING in YOUR family and home. It's a time of collision – and the collision is in our thoughts, the belief systems. Some of these belief systems are built on the faulty record of politics and religion that have born bitter fruit. The long-held belief—hold on to your Rapture Rug!—has led to passivity that placed us in a precarious place. What the collision is about now is Father's Kingdom in the place of priority in this NOW time which is key to create a changed atmosphere to facilitate the harvest of souls.

Hopes and Dreams. Abraham received a promise from God on which he based his hope for a son. Then, he had a problem—there was no physical way he could have his promise, a son. This is hope against hope. In many cases, in many hopes, there are physical ways to nurture your hope and see progress, such as when you plant a garden. Some hopes, based on promise, have NO physical way to happen. There IS a way you can help hope along in these situations – it's WHERE you look. Some time is going to be focused on the PROCESS by your Heavenly Father, and that won't change. However, there is some time that can be shortened—or lengthened--by WHERE you look. Join us to discover WHERE to look for the shortest possible route to your hope, to be encouraged in your hope against hope, and to receive grace power through our prayer for you.

Every gathering or service serves spiritual meals! Yet, not everyone is at the same place or has the same nutritional needs.
