How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Have we truly been born from above, receiving the promise of the Father through faith in Christ? Are we walking in the power of the Spirit, or still striving in our own strength?As we continue meditating on Jesus' command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), we see that the power of the Holy Spirit flows first from a right relationship with God—through being born again. This promise of the Father, long foretold by the prophets, is fulfilled through the finished work of Christ: His death, resurrection, ascension, and exaltation. From that place of completed redemption, Jesus now pours out His Spirit upon those who are His. We, like the disciples, are called to respond in simple, trusting obedience—to wait on the Lord, to gather in unity with His people, and to seek Him in prayer. Their obedience led to an outpouring of God's presence and power that transformed them from fearful followers into bold proclaimers of the gospel, bearing fruit for the Kingdom. We are reminded that spiritual fruitfulness does not come from striving but from abiding—yielding ourselves to the Spirit's filling, that Christ might live His life in and through us. As children of God, we are not only called to obedience but also empowered for it, through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Let us remain in Him, united in purpose, dependent in prayer, and confident in His power to do what we never could on our own.

In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're declaring war on the counterfeit religions of Communism and Antifa. A spiritual war is raging for the soul of our nation, fought not with tanks, but with ideologies that have a single mission: to dethrone God.This episode pulls back the mask on two of the enemy's most effective weapons: Communism and Antifa. These aren't just political theories; they are counterfeit religions, preaching a gospel of rebellion, envy, and chaos. From Marx's blood-soaked history to the modern-day riots in our streets, the same serpent is at work, promising utopia while delivering tyranny.We're here to arm you with the truth. To expose the lies disguised as "social justice" and "equity." And to call the church to stop whispering while the world burns.Buckle up. This isn't a political debate; it's spiritual warfare."For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." – Ephesians 6:12Episode Highlights:32:17 - You can't legislate love or redistribute righteousness. Only Christ can do that. Communism enslaves people economically. Antifa enslaves them emotionally. One binds the body, the other binds the mind. Both promise liberation and deliver slavery.43:16 - Antifa's tactics don't end with the riots of 2020. They've evolved. The group learned that you don't need to burn cities when you can burn reputations. Cancel Culture is Antifa's digital weapon. Social pressure is its firebomb. Today they don't wear masks in March; they wear HR badges and moderate your social media.54:23 - Silence in the face of evil is not neutrality, it's surrender. Speaking truth in love is not hate speech, it's hope speech. The most loving thing you can do for someone lost in deception is to tell them the truth.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Are we living the Christian life in our own strength, or are we truly depending on the power of the Holy Spirit? Have we taken time to tarry before the Lord, to receive His enabling presence?As we come to the close of Jesus' earthly ministry, we are drawn to His clear command to His disciples: “Tarry... until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). This call to wait—to be still before going—reveals a cornerstone truth of the Christian life: we cannot live out the commands of Christ without the empowering of His Spirit. Jesus had shown them the way, given them the Word, but He knew they couldn't walk in it unless He Himself lived it out through them. This promise of the Father—the indwelling and continual filling of the Holy Spirit—is the fulfillment of ancient prophecy and the foundation of every believer's strength. As we receive His Spirit, He not only opens our eyes to the Scriptures (Luke 24:45), but also works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). We are reminded that apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5), but with Him, we are clothed with divine power—dunamis—the very breath and force of God, enabling us to live the life to which we've been called. Let us confess our utter need, wait on Him, and allow Christ to do in us what we could never do alone. “I can't—but You never said I could. You can—and You always said You would.”

In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're tearing down the excuses that have turned the Great Commission into the Great Suggestion. Jesus gave His church one final command before ascending to heaven: Go and make disciples. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a marching order. Yet, for too long, we've treated it like optional fine print at the end of the Gospel. We pray for blessings but ignore our mission. We stay silent in the marketplace and then wonder why the world is collapsing into godless chaos.This episode is a direct confrontation with the disobedience that has crippled the modern church. We're calling out the fear, comfort, and apathy that have turned believers into spectators. The Great Commission isn't a task for pastors and missionaries—it's the deployment order for every single person who claims the name of Christ.The time for excuses is over. When the King of Kings gives a direct command, will you obey, or will you remain silent on the sidelines?Buckle up. This is a call to arms for the army of God."Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." – Matthew 28:19-20Episode Highlights:10:20 - Yet when the King of Kings gives a direct command, "go and make disciples of all nations," millions of Christians shrug their shoulders, smile politely, and carry on with life as usual. Let's call it what it is: disobedience. Not ignorance, not oversight, not 'I'm too busy.' Disobedience.18:44 - Silence doesn't just fail to stop evil, it enables evil. We've raised a generation that knows TikTok better than the Ten Commandments. We've replaced the pulpit with politics and discipleship with entertainment... We're supposed to be the conscience of the culture, the ones who speak when no one else will. But for too long, we've traded conviction for comfort.26:01 - Fear has paralyzed the modern church, and comfort has sedated it. In the West, we've built a version of Christianity that costs us nothing. A faith that fits neatly between brunch and bedtime. We want the blessings of the cross without the burden of carrying the cross.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite 

What does baptism say about our freedom in Christ? Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin's power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ's power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship.

On this episode of The C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're going to war with the world's favorite sin: unforgiveness. Look around. Our culture is drowning in outrage. Revenge is entertainment. Bitterness is sold as strength. But the cross declares a different kind of power: forgiveness.This episode isn't about cheap grace or easy platitudes. It's a full-frontal assault on the unforgiveness that has poisoned the Church and paralyzed its witness. We're diving deep into the radical, non-negotiable command of Christ to forgive as we have been forgiven.From Erica Kirk's world-stopping forgiveness of her husband's killer to Tim Allen's 60-year battle with bitterness, we'll see what happens when believers choose obedience over offense. The world says get even. Jesus says get holy. Which will you choose?Buckle up. This one is raw, real, and rooted in the radical mercy of the cross."Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." – Colossians 3:13Episode Highlights:05:32 - Forgiveness isn't weakness, it's warfare. When you forgive, you tear down strongholds. You silence Satan's accusations. You declare that the blood of Jesus is stronger than the offense that wounded you. That's why unforgiveness is one of Satan's favorite weapons. It keeps believers bitter, divided, and totally powerless.16:24 - Many churches don't talk about forgiveness anymore. It's not trendy, it doesn't sell... The modern world tells you to cancel your enemies. Christ tells you to bless them. The world says, destroy your opponent. Christ says, pray for them. The world says, get even. Christ says, get holy. Forgiveness is hard because it's holy.37:23 - One of the biggest misunderstandings about forgiveness is that it equals reconciliation. It does not. Reconciliation takes two repentant hearts. Forgiveness only takes one obedient one. You can forgive and still set boundaries. You can forgive and still walk away. Forgiveness is about your heart, not their reaction.Connect with Paul M.

How should baptism be carried out? Baptism is for all who trust in Christ. It is done in water, by immersion, and in His name—not ours—as part of making true disciples.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life.

What is the context of Christ's command to baptize? We look at the setting of the Great Commission, where Jesus, risen and authoritative, calls His disciples to baptize. This command flows from worship, dependence, and the presence of Christ.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life.

On this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're calling out the passive faith that's infected the boardroom and the breakroom. Enough with defense. Enough with retreat. Today, we rip the mask off complacency and sound the call to spiritual arms.No celebrities. No soft edges. Just you, me, and the unfiltered Word of God, face-to-face with a world that wants us silenced. The devil's running up the score while the Church sits on defense—but not anymore. We declare it: “The gates of Hell shall not prevail!” (Matthew 16:18). Christ didn't die to keep us safe—He died to send us out.Here's the question: When Hell pushes, will you push back? When the darkness presses in, will you storm forward?Buckle up. This one's raw. Real. Rooted in Truth. Victory is guaranteed—if you'll take the field.Episode Highlights:11:05 - History has taught us this lesson time and time again. Think back to the years leading up to World War II. Adolf Hitler didn't become powerful overnight—he rose step by step because the rest of the world played defense... That's exactly what the Church is doing at this very moment. We think if we keep our heads down, if we stay quiet, if we avoid confrontation, then maybe Satan is going to leave us alone. But the enemy never leaves you alone. The enemy exploits weakness. The enemy feasts on passivity. And the Church's passive defense has created a cultural vacuum that darkness has filled... Defense without offense doesn't hold the line. It gives ground.20:07 - Let's be blunt here. We've raised generations of Christians who are more afraid of offending man than offending God. We've trained pastors to worry more about likes and shares than about souls. We've built entire denominations on the lie that Christianity can be cool, hip, trendy and unoffensive. And in doing so, we've stripped the gospel of its power.45:12 - When we go on offense as Christians, victory is not a possibility, it's guaranteed. Jesus himself said in John 16:33, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world.'" Notice that—he doesn't say I might overcome. He declares, "I have overcome." Past tense. Already accomplished. The victory is secure. That means when we storm the gates of Hell, we're not charging into a battle with an uncertain outcome.Connect with Paul M.

In this episode of the Daily Living for Christ Podcast, Donald E. Coleman continues the Letting Go to Enter In series with a deep reflection on Matthew 6:5-6 and Jesus' invitation to the secret place. Too often, prayer becomes about performance—seeking approval, checking a box, or clinging to distractions. But Jesus points us to a different way: the Tameion, the inner room of the heart where the Father is already waiting.Donald unpacks what it means to move from a performance-based structure to a presence-filled relationship, where prayer shifts from self-expression to communion. This episode explores:Why letting go (kenosis) is the gateway to entering God's presenceThe difference between self-focused prayer and contemplative prayer that creates an inner sanctuaryHow Jesus modeled solitude and stillness as the rhythm of a life rooted in GodThe power of “The Pause”—15–20 seconds of silence that reorients us to God in the middle of daily lifePractical ways to make your “prayer closet” more than a physical space, but a posture of the heartIf you've ever struggled with distractions in prayer or wondered how to move beyond words into genuine intimacy with the Father. This episode will encourage you to close the door, silence the noise, and rediscover the God who is waiting in the hidden place.Tune in today and learn how to let go of performance so you can enter into God's presence with freedom, authenticity, and joy.  "Have Questions, Send us a Message" This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.

In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're talking about the dirty secret the church doesn't want to admit: Christians attacking Christians. Not outsiders. Not atheists. Fellow believers, turning their swords on each other—devouring the body of Christ from the inside out.Let's call it what it is: spiritual sabotage. Pride, jealousy, insecurity—masked as discernment, but leaving division, disunity, and destruction in its wake.But here's the truth that echoes through eternity—Jesus is still Lord, and His mission is unity, not uniformity. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35)So what about you? When you face the test—will you build up, or tear down?Will you compete, or will you cover the world in Christ, locked arm-in-arm with your fellow believers?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth.Division is the devil's favorite weapon. Unity is the church's greatest witness. (Ephesians 4:3, John 17:21-23)Key takeaway:03:04 - We're at war now. Not with flesh and blood, mind you, but with principalities and the powers of darkness. If you don't believe me, grab your Bible and take a look at Ephesians 6:12. And yet, while we're supposed to be storming the gates of hell together, many Christians are turning their swords on each other. It's like a battlefield where soldiers spend more time fighting their own army than resisting the real enemy. This is not just a tragic situation, it's diabolical.06:22 - We, you, me, other Christians, we're the reason people are walking away from Jesus. It's not the world, it's not Hollywood, it's not these woke universities. It's us. Just marinate on that for a sec. We're harming the witness of Christ because we can't stop tearing each other down. We are walking, talking contradictions. We preach grace, but practice condemnation. We sing about unity, but we live in tribalism. We say we follow Christ, but more often than not, we act like Pharisees.24:16 - When Christians attack other Christians, we're not just damaging reputations. We're damaging the reputation of Christ himself. Sure, on the surface, that may sound extreme, but it's biblical. John 13:35 says this: 'By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.' Not if you quote the right Bible version, not if you vote a certain way, not if you have all your theological ducks in a row. But if you love one another.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

What does it mean to be both a sheep and a shepherd? We're first sheep—dependent and in need of care. As we receive from Christ, we're called to give. Feeding others starts by feasting on God's Word ourselves.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep.

Today on the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we charge straight into the fire—illegal immigration. Not for the faint of heart. Not for the culture of comfort. But for bold believers who refuse to be silent.This isn't about politics. This is about biblical mandate. About seeing every immigrant as a soul made in the image of God—and refusing to let lawlessness or elitism define our response. We call out garbage, we expose hypocrisy; we stare down dehumanizing language and spineless silence.The world will mock. The critics will howl. But Jesus is still King, and His Word still draws the line between truth and compromise.Will you shrink back—or stand up? What will you do when your faith collides with the cultural firestorm?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in the everlasting Word.Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. (Romans 13:1-2)Key Takeaways:05:42 - When you say that immigrants exist to, quote, wash dishes or pick fruit. You're not praising their work ethic. Instead, you're degrading their humanity. You're telling an entire class of people, you basically exist to serve me. It's the same evil spirit that drove slavery. It's the same elitist mindset that says, I'm better than you, and your value is in what you do for me and people like me. That's not love. That is not advocacy. That's dehumanization. And it's sinful and unbiblical. 07:26 – Whether these folks cross the river legally or illegally, their life has value. Their story matters. But that doesn't mean that their actions are right. And believe me, we're going to get to that coming up here later in the podcast. But for now, I just want to say this: If we as Christians cannot look at an immigrant and say, That's a man or woman created by God with purpose, with value, and with dignity, then, man—we've lost the gospel. We've replaced it with nationalism, not Christianity.31:18 – The immigrant's worth is not based on how well they can scrub a toilet. Their value is not measured by how fast they can pick a strawberry. Their identity is not rooted in your convenience. Their value is rooted in the image of God. Period. James 3:9 rebukes those who curse human beings who have been made in God's likeness. That includes when you curse them with low expectations, when you curse them with degrading language or curse them with exploitative policies. So what should Christians do in the face of this? We should speak out. Which is exactly what we're doing on this episode of the C-Suite for Christ podcast. Connect with Paul NeubergerWebsite
