Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com "When the glory falls" versus "falling short of the glory" It is important not to confuse the phrase with "falling short of the glory," which is a separate biblical concept from Romans 3:23. In that context, "falling short of the glory of God" refers to sin and the human failure to reflect God's perfect character. The saying "when the glory falls" is not about a personal failure but about a collective, supernatural experience of God's overwhelming presence In Christian terminology, "when the glory falls" means the moment when the manifest presence of God becomes so powerful in a place or among a group of people that it is physically or spiritually tangible. It is often associated with intense worship, supernatural manifestations, and a profound sense of God's power and holiness. Biblical roots This phrase is inspired by multiple events in the Bible where God's presence was revealed in a powerful, undeniable way: The Tabernacle and Temple: In Exodus, after the Tabernacle was completed, the glory of the Lord appeared as a cloud and filled the tent, preventing Moses from entering. A similar event happened during the dedication of Solomon's Temple in 2 Chronicles, where God's glory was so overwhelming that the priests could not stand to minister. Pentecost: In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit "fell" on the disciples in the form of wind and fire, an event that empowered them and marked the birth of the Church. Isaiah's vision: The prophet Isaiah had a vision where the train of the Lord's robe filled the temple, and the sound of the seraphim praising God shook the building. Meaning in modern Christianity The phrase is used today, particularly within Charismatic and Pentecostal denominations, to describe a highly anticipated moment during a church service or revival. Deep spiritual encounter: It signifies a moment of intense spiritual experience where people feel a profound sense of awe and reverence for God. Tangible power: Believers describe the experience as the "weight" or "heaviness" of God's presence, an overwhelming spiritual force. Manifestations: During these moments, physical and emotional reactions can occur. Some people may fall to the ground in worship, a phenomenon referred to as being "slain in the Spirit." Others may cry out, shake, or feel waves of heat or energy. Supernatural occurrences: For many, the "glory falling" is associated with miracles and healings, where people are healed in their seats without physical touch, as the presence of God moves through the room. Divine heist or kidnapping - its a takeover: It represents a shift from a human-led service to one in which God is taking control. In these moments, planned sermons or prayers may actually stop the flow as worship takes over and the Holy Spirit moves in unexpected ways. But here is the kicker, it almost always happens in context of believers meeting together in worship or in church (doesn't have to be a church building, but it is the church that gets together) My point… what if you went to church not hoping worship is good, the preacher is good, the sermon keeps your attention, you see sally and Bill… what if you go to church to be the church - to pray, worship and expect the glory to fall.

Welcome to this brand-new episode of Light ‘Em Up!We've had our cake and ate it too (and it was delicious) celebrating achieving our 100th episode!Now it is time to get back to work. Thank you to all of our previous guests, listeners and fans who contacted us, sharing warm, caring and nice thoughts about the show.We are truly here for you and because of you!On this fact-finding, incendiary and investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up, we'll interrogate the question:— Why does someone join a cult?Is it because of their:— desire for belonging,— search for purpose or— emotional vulnerability …Some of these, none of these or ALL of these and more?Is the MAGA movement a cult? What does MAGA mean to America? And we examine charismatic leadership.— What makes a person charismatic to where countless people revere, worship, follow them, perhaps ultimately giving their lives for what THEY believed in?We'll explore all of this through the intersection of violent extremism and the radicalization process with a little Greek history lesson sprinkled into the mix — as we continue our quest to use data to improve democracy!Cults, like gangs, fall in the realm of deviance, and both types of groups encourage members to become situationally dependent on the "group identity."Both gangs and cults recruit members based on the human need to be accepted and a part of a group that will affirm personal significance.The fact pattern shows it clearly: Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist-violent-extremism has increased in the United States.According to the American Psychological Association's Dictionary of Psychology, a cult is “a religious or quasi-religious group characterized by unusual or atypical beliefs, seclusion from the outside world, and an authoritarian structure. Cults tend to be highly cohesive, well organized, secretive, and hostile to nonmembers.”Hardened through years of social upheaval, conspiracy rhetoric, and loyalty tests, the voting bloc known as the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, has evolved into a subculture marked by deep emotional identification with Donald Trump, and his:— rejection of institutional legitimacy, and— a worldview shaped less by shared policy preferences than by a shared sense of grievance and defiance.At the heart of the MAGA movement lies a narrative of persecution and betrayal.For many Trump supporters, their embrace of the 34-times-convicted felon, despite his endless stream of observable falsehoods and incendiary rhetoric, is not rooted in traditional (Ronald) Reagan-like conservatism but in a belief that he alone articulates their alienation. They seem to need a Superhero.He is their “revenge”. He has said as much, as well. MAGA members feel violated and offended by everyone that isn't them.This sentiment is frequently reflected in the language of victimhood:Are MAGA members perpetually victims?In 2024, Trump was not merely a candidate, but a martyr under siege by “corrupt elites” … according to him and his “Klan” of followers and supporters.We're calling on you to employ your critical thinking skills throughout this entire episode as we examine in depth behavior that explains the step-by-step process in becoming a tyrant and behaviors that would normally repulse traditional voters, which is celebrated by MAGA supporters as authenticity.Tune in and follow our sponsors Newsly and Feedspot!We want to hear from you!

Rev. Dr. Les Martin Pentecost+13 2025Rev. Dr. Les MartinDeuteronomy 30:15–20, Psalm 1, Philemon, Luke 14:25-33 O Lord God, grant your people grace to withstand the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, and with pure hearts and minds to follow you – From the Collect of the Day In the Name of the Living God: the Father, the Son, and…
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the enduring beauty and significance of God's church. Despite its imperfections, the church remains a beacon of hope, built on the solid rock of Christ. We're challenged to love the church as Christ loves it, embracing its role as a hospital for souls rather than a museum of perfection. The speaker draws from Matthew 16:18, emphasizing that even the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church. This reminds us of our strength and purpose as believers. We're encouraged to see the church as a place for real people - flawed, diverse, and in various stages of their spiritual journey. This perspective invites us to extend grace to others and ourselves, recognizing that we're all works in progress. The message powerfully connects our personal growth to our involvement in the church, urging us not to neglect gathering together, especially as we near Christ's return. It's a call to renew our love for the church and to see it as God sees it - His beloved bride and the hope for a broken world.
Everyone feels it. Cultural and political life in America has become unrecognizable and strange. Firebrands and would-be sages have taken the place of reasonable and responsible leaders.

Superbold: From Under-Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days by Fred Joyal https://www.amazon.com/Superbold-Under-Confident-Charismatic-90-Days/dp/1544523076 Fredjoyal.com Boldness is a superpower. Bold individuals seize life in remarkable, almost unbelievable ways. They succeed in business, in careers, and in love, and they have a great time doing it. Bold people walk up to supermodels and ask them to dance. They stand in front of audiences and tell jokes. They start companies. They run for president. What surprises most people is that boldness can be taught. Fred Joyal started as an extremely shy person, too timid even to make a phone call, and transformed himself into someone who has done stand-up and improv comedy, spoken to audiences of 5,000 or more, met dozens of celebrities, and, just by being bold, found love, joy, passion, and success. And he can teach you how. Superbold gives you a systematic, step-by-step approach that can take you to a surprising level of boldness in as little as ninety days. Ready to stop living a life of regrets and missed opportunities? It's all possible—faster than you think.About the author Fred Joyal is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and business advisor. Along with a lucrative career in advertising and marketing, he co-founded the most successful dentist referral service in the country, 1-800-DENTIST. He has written two books on marketing, dabbled in stand-up and improv comedy, acted in bad movies and excellent TV commercials, and visited over forty-four countries around the world. He has an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from the University of Rhode Island, perhaps because of his generous donations. He once beat Sir Richard Branson in chess and was also a question on Jeopardy!. He is an avid cyclist, a below-average tennis player, and an even worse golfer.

Is a supernatural “Joel's Army” really coming? We're dissecting this popular charismatic teaching and asking: What does the Bible actually say about Joel 2?For decades, some in the charismatic movement have preached about a coming “Joel's Army”—an elite end-times company of believers who will march in supernatural power and usher in the Kingdom. But is that really what Joel 2 teaches? In this episode of Remnant Radio, we put the Joel 2 Army teaching under the microscope. We'll trace its origins in the Latter Rain movement, how it spread through the Kansas City Prophets, and why it never appears in church history. Most importantly, we'll go back to the text of Joel to see whether Scripture supports the idea—or if it actually teaches something very different.Join us as we debunk this popular but problematic teaching and recover the true message of Joel: a call to repentance, a promise of restoration, and the outpouring of God's Spirit on all flesh.

Ten years ago, Sydney-based artist HOSSEI took a step back from the art world to care for his sick mother. The more time they spent together, the more inspired HOSSEI became to create something especially for, about, and starring his mum.HOSSEI is an artist with a flair for colour, quirk and unbridled joy.But growing up the only son of a Persian-Australian family, it took years of hard work to convince his parents that being an artist was his destiny.HOSSEI's mother, Nahid, came around first, getting her sewing machine out to help her son make his incredible costumes.Then, it was HOSSEI's turn to support his mum, who needed a carer as her health deteriorated.As they spent more and more time together, HOSSEI was inspired to write a musical for, about and starring his cheeky, charismatic mother.The project is personal, but also has a political edge -- women in Iran aren't allowed to freely sing, dance or play music -- and so HOSSEI put his mother centre stage.Further informationRecently, HOSSEI was commissioned by Parramatta Artist Studios to update their uniform in connection with Wear it Purple Day.He has also been commissioned by the Sydney Opera House to develop a play space for the Centre for Creativity, which will be presented in January 2026.HOSSEI is currently touring his show ESSSENSSSE through regional NSW, at Bathurst Regional Gallery, Yarrila Arts and Museum in Coffs Harbour and later to Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.You can keep up to date with HOSSEI's exhibitions and news at his Instagram page.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores visual arts, performing arts, becoming an artist, how to be an artist, carers, caring for parents, the sandwich generation, Persia, Iran, womens rights, feminism, musical theatre, experimental art, Western Sydney, Sydney College of the Arts, university, TAFE, tertiary education, what to do after high school, graduation, Istanbul, migration, war, escape, family dynamics, sisters, kidnapping.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

https://newsongpeople.com/series/hearing-god"Hearing God" Series // Pastor TonderaiGod never designed us to hear His voice in isolation—He speaks in the context of community. From the Old Testament tabernacle, to Jesus dwelling among us, to the Spirit poured out in Acts, Scripture shows us a God who is deeply communal. In this message, Pastor Tonderai unpacks how hearing God is both a personal journey and a shared mission: we are equipped with His Spirit, responsible to speak His truth, and called to walk it out together in love and humility.Discover practical ways to discern God's voice through Scripture, prophecy, wisdom, and encouragement—while learning how to posture yourself in community with gentleness, boldness, and forgiveness. Because when we listen together, test together, and act together, we more clearly hear what God is saying to His Church.Key Scriptures: Exodus 25:8, John 1:14, Acts 2, Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3, Ezekiel 3, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4, and more.#HearingGod #NewSongChurch #TonderaiBassoppoMoyo #Community #VoiceOfGod

In this powerful message, we explore the transformative story from Mark 5 about Jesus healing the demon-possessed man. This narrative reminds us that no one is beyond God's reach or too broken to be restored. The key lesson here is that Jesus intentionally seeks out those whom society has cast aside, offering hope and healing to even the most desperate souls. We see a beautiful progression from desperation to encounter, then to transformation and restoration, and finally to a calling to share one's testimony. This journey mirrors our own spiritual walk - we come to Jesus in our brokenness, experience His healing touch, and are then called to share His love with others. The message challenges us to run towards Jesus in our struggles, rather than away from Him, and to embrace the ministry of restoration in our own lives and communities.
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Taylor from GemmaintheRough (on Instagram and TikTok) to talk about her journey as a charismatic, non-denominational Christian leading worship at her church to a full-blown conversion to Catholicism. Taylor's story is amazing as she asks incredible questions about how and why her non-denominational church worshipped the way they did – and how the Early Church worshipped differently!How could they have weekly "altar calls" without an altar? How could they claim to "worship" God without offering any kind of sacrifice in the biblical pattern? This and so much more makes up Taylor's awesome conversion story. She is cordial, enthusiastic, and so articulate. You don't want to miss this episode.For more from Taylor find her on Instagram and TikTok.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/hearing-god-pastor-rich-butlerIn this message from our Hearing God series, guest speaker Rich Butler unpacks what it means to recognize and respond to God's voice in everyday life. Drawing from passages like Hebrews 1:1–2, John 10:27, Colossians 3:15–16, and Hebrews 4:12, we're reminded that God still speaks today—through His Word, His Spirit, and His peace. Just like the disciples who cast their nets at Jesus' word (Luke 5:4–6), we are invited to trust, obey, and experience the fruit of hearing Him clearly.Discover how to tune your heart to God's leading, discern His guidance amid competing voices, and walk with confidence in His will.
For many, their perception of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit have been colored by decades of disorder and spiritual abuse some charismatic circles are known for. It is time to take inventory, call for accountability and repentance, and restore the reputation of the Holy Spirit. There are many victims, but now freedom for you to see the Holiness of the Holy Spirit, and how you can be used by Him!Read transcript

Who's in Charge Around Here? - Lakeview Community Church
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of brokenness in our spiritual lives. Through the story of John Pounds, a crippled man who turned his suffering into a ministry that helped countless children, we see how God can use our broken places for His glory. The central theme revolves around Hosea 10:12, which calls us to 'break up the fallow ground' of our hearts. This agricultural metaphor beautifully illustrates how we must allow God to break up the hardened areas of our lives to receive His blessings and produce spiritual fruit. We're challenged to embrace humility, reject pride, and live in a state of 'blessed brokenness' - a place of constant surrender and gratitude to God. This message encourages us to examine our hearts, identify areas of hardness or pride, and allow God's transformative work to take place, promising that through our brokenness, God can create something beautiful and impactful.

News: Plex warns users to update systems immediately after detecting worrying security issue Samsung's $30K Micro RGB TV Is Here Sling TV launches single day, weekend, week-long pass options Apple's new ‘Charismatic' smart home OS is getting set to take on Alexa and Google What Happened to DLNA Technology? DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology, once a popular standard for sharing media like photos, videos, and music between devices on a home network, has largely faded from prominence. Here's a concise overview of what happened: Peak Popularity (2000s–Early 2010s): DLNA, introduced in 2003, enabled seamless media streaming between certified devices like TVs, computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles. It was widely adopted by manufacturers (e.g., Sony, Samsung, LG) and supported by software like Windows Media Player. By 2010, millions of devices were DLNA-certified, with a focus on interoperability and ease of use. Decline in Relevance: Rise of Proprietary Ecosystems: By the mid-2010s, companies like Apple (AirPlay), Google (Chromecast), and Amazon (Fire devices) pushed proprietary streaming protocols that integrated tightly with their ecosystems, offering smoother user experiences and cloud-based features DLNA lacked. Complexity and Inconsistency: DLNA's interoperability was hampered by inconsistent implementation across devices. Some devices supported only specific file formats or had clunky interfaces, frustrating users. Shift to Cloud and Apps: The rise of streaming services like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube shifted media consumption to app-based, cloud-driven platforms. DLNA's focus on local network sharing became less relevant as users prioritized internet-based content. Emerging Standards: Technologies like Miracast, Wi-Fi Direct, and Bluetooth offered simpler or more versatile alternatives for device-to-device connectivity, further eroding DLNA's niche. DLNA's End (2017): The DLNA organization officially dissolved in 2017, ending certification and development. While some devices and software (e.g., Plex, VLC) still support DLNA for backward compatibility, it's no longer a focal point for manufacturers or consumers. Current Status: DLNA remains functional on older devices, but it's largely been supplanted by modern protocols and platforms. For example, smart TVs now rely on app ecosystems or protocols like Google Cast. Some enthusiasts still use DLNA for local media servers, but it's a niche use case. From our archives (June 2012) What's missing? So if you've tried any of the DLNA servers out there, you've probably seen how bare they are. With so many consumer electronics devices supporting DLNA playback, it seems a really good DLNA server would sell like hotcakes. Here's what we think the perfect DLNA server would do. Support Transcoding. Some DLNA Servers support transcoding, but not all of them. Transcoding allows the server to change the format of the video your watching or song you're listening to to something that the player can actually play back. Otherwise you'll get a bunch of failures trying to play back stuff like DivX and Xvid. Support Cover Art. Most DLNA servers will just grab a video frame out of a movie file and display it as a thumbnail. Why not replace that with the actual cover of the movie? They're easy to find online. It might take a little more setup up front to get all the covers downloaded and in the right place, but it would be worth it. Categorize videos. A few of the servers support a limited amount of categorization for video files, but what you'd really like to do is tag a movie with a genre, a year, rating, actors, director, producer, etc. and use any of those pieces of information to find the right movie. Built-in DVD backup. Consumers want a way to backup their movies. DVDs don't last forever. Allow a user to create a backup copy of their DVD on a hard drive. Of course they'll also be able to watch it from any network connected DLNA player, but that's just a slight benefit of the nifty backup feature. Of course, if you could then provide the built-in... Connection to IMDB. Allow users to automatically populate cover art and meta data info by selecting the correct movie from an online database like IMDB. This would greatly simplify the chore of adding movies to a video library. While this tends to be a one-time event (once per movie at least), it can be painful and tends to wear on you after a while. Support online sources. Right now PlayOn is the only server we've found that supports online video sources. It, however, doesn't support local sources. It looks like that functionality will be coming soon, but the two ideas need to merge for a really great product.
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Carla Lynch to unpack her outrageous journey from Charismatic, Evangelical Christianity into full communion with the Catholic Church. Carla's journey is one of a kind, beginning when her Evangelical Youth Group visited a well-known Catholic Church – the beauty, the stillness, and the devout worship of the Catholics she saw there coming up-ended her understanding of Catholicism and planted a seed that would slowly germinate and grow until she couldn't avoid it's presence any longer. From there, her story only gets even more wild. Carla's journey is amazing and I truly hope you enjoy it.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Are spiritual gifts just an optional add-on, or are they essential to the gospel's work in the world? In this episode, we dig deep into Scripture to explore how the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus not only purchases our salvation but also secures the Holy Spirit's gifts for the church. We'll navigate the often-contentious debate between Charismatics and Cessationists, examining how both sides can sometimes miss the full picture. We'll address the Charismatic tendency to detach the gifts from the core message of the gospel, and the Cessationist impulse to preach a “gospel” that sidelines the very gifts Christ gave to His people. Anchored in biblical theology, we'll consider whether a gospel without the gifts is really the whole gospel at all.0:00 – Introduction: Is the Gospel Incomplete Without Spiritual Gifts? 3:03 – Defining the Essence of the Gospel 7:52 – The Gospel as the Inbreaking of the Kingdom 10:13 – The Narrow and Broad Senses of the Gospel 15:47 – The Gospel as the Rule and Reign of God 19:09 – Defining the Gospel in Relation to Cessationism 23:30 – How to Know When God is Ruling 27:08 – The Signs of the Kingdom 39:10 – John 14:12 and Doing Greater Things 54:12 – Returning to a Gospel-Centered Approach 56:11 – A Challenge to the Open But Cautious 57:33 – Closing Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/immersed-in-scriptureImmersed in Scripture // Hearing God Series // Pastor Sarah BlountJesus didn't just know Scripture—He lived it. Every word He spoke, every choice He made, every step He took flowed from deep communion with His Father. In this message, we'll uncover Jesus's daily rhythms for hearing God clearly—through prayer, Scripture immersion, and intentional time in God's presence.1. Immersion & EncounterPurpose: Help members recognize the difference between reading for information vs. transformation.Leader Tips:Ask for examples of times they've read Scripture and felt personally met by God.Encourage them to be honest if Bible reading feels more like a checklist—this creates room for practical ideas.Follow up with: What's one change you could make to your approach this week to read expectantly?2. Memorization & MeditationPurpose: Help people reflect on which part of their engagement with Scripture is strong and which needs growth.Leader Tips:Briefly explain each phrase from Kevin DeYoung:_Submitting your will = Letting Scripture set your priorities._Committing your brain = Learning it deeply, understanding context._Humbling your heart = Being ready to obey even when it's hard.Ask them to pick one area to strengthen and share a practical step—e.g., choosing one verse to memorize this week.3. Response & SupplicationPurpose: Connect Bible engagement to life application and prayer.Leader Tips:Encourage them to think of even small ways Scripture has moved them to action—like a phone call, an apology, or a praise prayer.Ask the group to commit to one specific response from their Bible reading this week.Offer to follow up next time with a quick “How did it go?” so there's gentle accountability.#HearingGod #NewSongChurch #FriendsTalk #John15 #HearingGodsVoice #Faith #BibleTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLiving #JesusIsSpeaking #YouCanHearGod #HearingGod #SpeakLord #VoiceOfGod #LivingWord #PrayerAndPresence #SpiritLed #FaithComesByHearing #WalkWithJesus #EveryWordMatters #ScriptureSpeaks #JesusAtTheCenter.
What happens when the faith we’ve built our lives around collides with the hardest seasons we never saw coming? Is there something deeper God wants to do in our hearts—and in our churches—when comfort drops away and the “dark night of the soul” invades our story? In this provoking and vulnerable episode of Christian Parent Crazy World, host Catherine Segars sits down with accomplished artist, worship leader, and theological scholar Isaac Gay for an unexpected, off-script deep dive into the challenges—and the stunning potential—of the modern charismatic church. Key Takeaways from this Episode: The “Dark Night of the Soul” is Real: Every believer—charismatic or not—must face seasons of doubt, disappointment, and difficulty. Instead of offering quick fixes, God invites us deeper, beyond beginner faith, to real trust and transformation. Strengths of the Charismatic Movement: We cherish and pursue God’s presence, expectant for miracles and supernatural encounters... but sometimes get so focused on the sensational that we neglect depth, discipline, and theology. Where We Fall Short: Charismatic churches can fall into emotionalism, lacking intellectual rigor or robust discipleship. Kids can get stuck in shallow social environments, leaving them spiritually bored, starved, or even driving them away from faith entirely. Learning from Other Traditions: We need BOTH heart and mind—experience AND theology. Ancient disciplines, liturgies, “high church” practices, and regularly engaging with deep thinkers (even ones we disagree with!) can anchor our faith when feelings fade. Raising Faithful Kids Means Planting in Rich Soil: Where (and how) we “plant” our kids spiritually matters—a safe, friendly environment isn’t always a spiritually nourishing one. Sometimes our children (and we, as parents) need deep, hard, stretching soil to really grow. Unity and Humility: All branches of Christianity have blind spots—we need one another! Learning across traditions, holding fast to Scripture, and pursuing Christ above all else is the path to a genuine, lasting faith. The Goal: More than chasing blessings or avoiding pain, mature faith says, “Even if God doesn’t move the way I want, I will still serve Him.” That’s the kind of walk our kids need to see—and the legacy we want to leave. Key Quote: “I want to be a church with theology that can't be dismissed and power that can't be denied.” ~ Isaac Gay Isaac and Catherine’s raw conversation is a must-listen for any parent who wants to raise kids that aren’t just “good churchgoers,” but wholehearted disciples—anchored in truth, resilient in hardship, ready for beauty, and alive to the Holy Spirit. What about you? How is your church—and your home—preparing your children to handle the dark nights of faith? How can you help them embrace both Spirit and truth, head and heart, as they follow Jesus in a confusing world? Don’t miss next week’s solo episode, where Catherine digs into what God is accomplishing in the dark night of the soul. And stay tuned for the conversation Catherine and Isaac were supposed to have (coming soon), where they will dig into how beauty—and restoring creativity—can become one of the strongest apologetics for a new generation. Meet the guest: Isaac Gay is a multifaceted artist working at the intersection of creativity, spirituality, and contemporary thought. As a worship leader, thinker, and writer, Isaac’s heart is one of an iconoclast, while remaining grounded in the enduring principles of orthodox Christianity. He and his wife Emily are the hosts of the Not Crushing It Podcast, and have three children. He holds a Master of Letters from the University of Aberdeen.

Charismatic Leadership can be a gift or a curse to a church. The Biblical requirement is humility and a servant attitude, recognizing that the church belongs to Jesus. It is dangerous when the leader approaches the church as something that serves him. Some of the negative effects have to do with how followers react to them. Followers can be attracted to charismatic leadership because it offers certainty and confidence in an uncertain world.
