Thriving in The Word

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Selgado, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. Edited by: Tim NicholsonJoin us for our study of the one chapter in the Book of Jude. David kicks us off by talking about common salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Judah then shares about common themes in evangelical churches about a personal relationship with Jesus, which of course is important, but how they often fail to share about the importance of having a shared relationship with Jesus Christ. After all, we are called to be in community, to be The Body of Christ, why does the Holy Spirit give us spiritual gifts? To serve others, to be Jesus' hands n feet in this world.The conversation shifts to mercy, every person is as close to God as they want to be, draw near to God, He will draw near to you. Johnny talks about the grumblers. Judah shares scripture that addresses how to handle those that cause division in church. We are called to build each other up and to show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.David then shares how Jude brings attention to invaders in the church. To be vigilant and contend for the faith.We then go into a deep dive on James being Jesus' 1/2 brother and how other brothers in other religions, for example Muhammad whose brother denied his claim.The conversation then moves into the importance of community, one another, why we have spiritual gifts...we are called to serve others, to encourage others, to build one another up.Then, the conversation takes flight and we hope it inspires you to pick up God's Word, to read it, pray about it and then to meditate and listen for the voice of God.Enjoy and have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Selgado, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. Edited by: Tim NicholsonJoin us for our study of the one chapter in the Book of Jude. Ben kicks us off by sharing the fire and brimstone message, events that occurred in Los Angeles.The conversation shifts to the common phrase, "The devil made me do it", to then stop blaming the devil and the reality that the devil probably doesn't even know who you are. The devil is not omnipresent, so he's busy roaming around trying to devour people. If we truly assess sin, sinful nature, we aren't at war with the devil, we are at war with ourselves.The conversation takes flight and we hope it inspires you to pick up God's Word, to read it, pray about it and then to meditate and listen for the voice of God.Enjoy and have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Selgado, Ben Cossette, and Mike McHugh. Edited by: Tim NicholsonJoin us for our study of the one chapter in the Book of Jude. Ben kicks us off by asking the question about Jesus' half brothers. This evolves into how catholic priests became gatekeepers of scripture and creating interpretations like the Virgin Mary. We then end up in Vincent van Gogh territory where he actually began to make God's Word more accessible to the common man and why the gatekeepers of this time did not like this.Lenny then brings it back to Jude verse 3 and the importance of vigilance, contend for the Faith. The group then shares the importance of trusting what is being taught, but to then verify.David shifts the topic to rescuing brothers and sisters from the lake of fire. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. Mike shares about being lost in the world, but having zero clue that he was actually lost. Judah brings it full circle by sharing the actual catholic interpretation of the Virgin Mary and how they have added things to the Bible and declared by various popes as dogma.Enoch, Elijah and Jesus being the only three Biblical bodily resurrections. So so much more and what an amazing conversation!!Enjoy and have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

You will hear some tips on where to start reading the Bible as well as some tips that if we could go back in time, would absolutely share with ourselves when we first starting diving into the word. Who knows, maybe this will turn into a second podcast and regardless, we are grateful to be on fire for God's Word. Our prayer is that this will help anyone in their journey to gain the discipline and craving for God's Word. Have some fun and the regular crew will be back next week. Enjoy and have a blessed day.

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. James kicks us off this week by discussing Daniel's ability to lead from the back by being a light in a very dark situation. In our walk, God provides opportunities to share The Good News, however, depending on their situation, they can either be willing to listen, choose to debate atheism or unfortunately the individual might just prefer the darkness. A challenge is presented for anyone listening to hit their knees, pray to God, ask for wisdom and repent from whatever is pulling you away from God for 24 hours at a time. Lenny than praises Daniel for going to the Holy Spirit first prior to praying for people or whenever trouble presents itself. Lenny highlights Daniel 6 where we find Daniel praying three times a day. Although the king did not want Daniel in the lions den, Daniels faith allowed him to be fearless.Mike talks about the new king or any kingdom for that matter, rise and fall, but God always remains the same, today, yesterday and forever. Johnny then reinforces the importance of hitting our knees in prayer and the impact that can have on our faith.Judah discusses that we can admire Daniel for his boldness, faith, prayer and that this attainable for anyone that is willing to allow the Holy Spirit to direct their lives. The group continues to discuss pride, the power of prayer, and allowing God to do the transforming...and so much more.  Enjoy and have a blessed day.

This discussion features David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh and James Gowell. This week, Dave kicks us off by sharing his struggles with self forgiveness as he read how God Forgave the Israelites in Judges and questioned whether they had forgiven themselves. A few of us identify with Dave's struggle and Johnny leverages scripture to help those struggling with self forgiveness in 1 John 1:9, Matthew 6:14 and more. Other topics include the erosion of Burlington Vermont, the sometimes subtle or not so subtle focus of media attempting to pull people away from God by creating content that has the viewer seaping in anti-Jesus sewage. Dave pulls us back into forgiveness and we hear an interesting confession from Ben's past. The group makes some suggestions that will Glorify God. We discuss step 8 of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, 8.) Made a list of all people we hard harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. Dave shares a testimony of a friend that made an amends 15 years later. Only scratching the surface here and hope that you enjoy the episode. Please read along, Judges 1-7 and Galatians 1-2.

This discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. This week, we have an interesting "false start" with Dave sharing about a new book he is reading by Jonathon Cahn titled The Return of the gods (lowercase g) and Dave shares an example from the book, where they did a huge gala and unavailing of the Arch of Baal on display in Washington DC.  Judah then officially kicks off the episode and mentions our new additional series where we will be studying Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (so be on the lookout for that) chapter by chapter. After the introduction, Johnny kicks us off by sharing about the juxtaposition of the One True God and the many lowercase gods that ultimately lead us to the lake of fire. Dave responds by sharing about today's culture and the similarities to the Israelites and the Galatians through disobedience and how religion was used to divide the people. Johnny responds with an actual definition of "bewitched" and applies this to both the Israelites and Galatians worshipping false idols. The group then talks about the United States of America being a God founded country and how society has eroded by removing the Ten Commandments from the Supreme Court and the removal of talking about God in nearly all institutions.  This is a recap of the first 15 minutes and the remaining 20'ish minutes are full of great stuff for you reflect on as you read the Book of Judges and Book of Galatians along with us.

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. This week, Dave starts by reading Galatians re: "letting the Holy Spirit guide your lives" and it this launched a Spirit lead discussion about; the Holy Spirit, sinful nature, distractions, how can we love others if we don't love ourselves, free will to sin as well as not to sin, being obedient to the Holy Spirit, competing voices in our heads, not being able to hear God's voice, selfish ambition, stumbling blocks in our relationship with Christ, Mere Christianity by CS Lewis and so much more.

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. This week, we discuss having patience while reading the bible and making the Bible your friend. We then discuss the intent of human nature which sparks Judah bringing up a book titled, "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear" which is a true story documenting the Free Town Project in Grafton, NH. In 2001, thousands of libertarians settled into what was a crime free, safe and clean town. Not a shocker, the “Nobody tells me what to do!” attitude didn't end well...any relation to the Book of Judges? Hmmm, Judges 21:25 "In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes." We then talk about complacent spiritual attitudes, God's creation of chaos and confusion, the refusal to listen and respond to repeated warnings and the reality that it is not the do's and don'ts, it is all about being in right relationship with God, loving God with all that you have and loving your neighbor as yourself, and so much more.
