In this "How to" episode, Dr. Patty welcomes Kris Castro from Begin to Shift and they discuss how to reflect God's love as leaders in the marketplace.  Jesus sets the tone for this conversation by reminding us that we are the church and wherever we go we should remember to reflect God's love well.  What does the marketplace include and who does God consider as leaders?  To reflect God well, you must know Him intimately and Dr. Patty and Kris talk about the Holy habits that facilitate that intimacy.  What is the fruit of living a life that reflects that intimacy well?   They share stories of when people have reflected God's love well or missed that mark. How can you make godly decisions in an opposite culture?  What can happen when you obey God's direction and love radically?  Jesus leads you to a radical love challenge in the marketplace in your encounter time with Him.

The big problem today is that most know about Jesus but not so many know Jesus and what he came to earth for. He came as a representative of God to show us who God really is and how much he loves us. John 1 tells us that Jesus is the creator of everything we see, and that he came to earth the restore unto us the life we lost to sin. The life in question is the intimacy we were created to have with God intimacy we lost because of the curse of the law of sin and death. Jesus came to step in as mediator between humanity and God to offer us salvation or reconciliation with God and to enrobe us with the white robe of righteousness, to give us the righteousness we need to have to be intimate with God. Jesus refers to this transformation, this reconciliation as being born again, being renewed, as rising from death and to being reconciled with God. Its a transformation that will take place within our heart transforming us into a new creation in the image of God. Ever one seeks for eternal life, Jesus in John 17:3 describes eternal life as being reconciled with God as becoming one with God through him.

In today's special "How-To" episode I will be having a nice chat with Kimberly Jones who is a member of my Spirit Life Circle and has some great experience and insight in evangelism.  Presence Evangelism is about inviting God's Presence so that you are seeing, hearing, feeling, and sensing His heart and will for a person.  It will look like God highlighting the person He wants you to bring to Him and directing what you should say and do.   It will include Holy Spirit manifestation gifts such as words of knowledge, prophecy, miracles, healings, etc... any of them that the Holy Spirit releases in that circumstance.  It is essentially evangelizing by surrendering 100% to the Holy Spirit's guidance and power.   Dr. Patty and Kimberly talk about how to overcome the fear of evangelism and how to properly prepare your heart to reach the lost.  They discuss scriptures that ground you in the message of the gospel and Kimberly shares some stories about her experiences doing street evangelization in New York City.  Jesus shares His two cents on how to allow Him to flow through you in this process where He releases His power to save the lost.  Jesus will give you a glimpse of what it would look like for you to practice Presence Evangelism in your own life and will identify what would move you forward in that direction.   Links referenced in this episode: New to the Podcast?  Check out the Trailer Episode for the Biblical Foundation for Experiencing Jesus!  https://PattyEJ.Podbean.com/e/trailer-episode-experience-jesus-with-dr-patty-sadallah   The Special Place Encounter Exercise   https://bit.ly/3cEkYBC     Love New York   https://lovenewyork247.com/   Other Episodes to Take you Deeper  Be Bold, Courageous and Unapologetic About the Truth   https://pattyej.podbean.com/e/be-bold-courageous-and-unapologetic-about-the-truth   How and Why to Share Your Testimonies  https://pattyej.podbean.com/e/how-and-why-to-share-your-testimonies   Your Salvation Inheritance Now  https://pattyej.podbean.com/e/your-salvation-inheritance-now   Check out the NEW Spirit Life Journey App.  Click on the QR Code to play around with it.   Spirit Life Circles  https://pattysadallah.com/spirit-led-growth/   Kimberly Jones  RevivalistAcademy@gmail.com Get Two Free Chapters of the Experience Jesus Book series  https://PattySadallah.com/free-gift/   Check out all of Dr. Patty's books, journals, and downloadable resources at her bookstore, and don't forget to use the code EJPOD to receive 10% off everything, even the things on sale.  https://PattySadallah.com/shop/        

Message from Kyle Burkholder on April 5, 2026

In this "How-To" episode, we will look at how to make decisions that are aligned with God's perfect will using a model called The Leader's Paradigm, or as I like to refer to it as; the Six Pillars of Decision Making by Dr. Mark Virkler.  We will dive into each of these six ways God gives direction in detail:  1.  Illumined Scripture, 2. Illumined thoughts, 3. Illumined witness in your heart, 4. Illumined counsel by others, 5. Illumined understanding of life experiences and 6. Illumined revelation from dreams, visions, dialogue journaling, and prophecy.  Each pillar is grounded in a scripture reference and Dr. Patty shares stories and tips about how to connect with God in each one.  She shares a story of what it looks like to make a decision when all of the six pillars line up.  Jesus shows you what you need to do to align with a decision you are wrestling with in your Experience Jesus encountering exercise.

In this episode, I invite us into a guided time of imaginative prayer — a contemplative practice rooted in the early church mothers and fathers that helps us encounter God in a personal, embodied way. Together, we step into a crowded home in Luke 5, where a group of friends carries someone they love to Jesus. As we enter this scene, we slow down, engage our senses, and notice what stirs within us as we witness their persistence, their love, and the vulnerability of being seen and known. I hope you'll join me as we walk onto the scene of Luke 5:17–20, 24–26 and ask the Spirit to speak to us through this story.

In this "How-to" and "Identity" episode, we will take a deep dive look at love, and mercy, and how they are connected to the promises of God.  How can you cooperate with the Promise Keeper?  What promises given in the Bible has God already fulfilled?  What do mercy and love have to do with God's promise-keeping nature?  How can you find promises related to your needs in the Bible?  What is required from you to activate those promises in your life?  How can you pray in agreement with God's promises to see miraculous results? Jesus clarifies how it works and walks you through that process for an issue in your own life in your Experience Jesus time with Him.

In this "How-To" episode, we will address the commands of God to ask, seek and knock from Matthew 7:7-8.  Why does God want this from us? What are the benefits when we obey them, and what is lost when we don't? Dr. Patty breaks down the biblical definitions of the key words in this verse to show the deeper meaning that the Lord has in them.  What kinds of things does God want us to ask for?  What does it mean to seek God with all your heart?  What does knocking mean from an action standpoint?  Jesus shares how these commands are a prayer formula for the lifestyle of abiding and how this verse leads to a life of constant signs, wonders, and miracles.  What would it look like if your life was a prayer to the Lord with continual asking, seeking, and Knocking?  Jesus shows you in your Experience Jesus encounter.

In anticipation of the upcoming season of Lent, we consider how the practices of fasting and lament can remind us of our humanity and orient our hearts toward the lost. Lent and Missions: A 40-Day Devotional The Upstream Collective "This physical need reminds me how much I need the Lord. So, it's not just the removal of something; it's a taking in of something." "Forty years in the wilderness for God's people and 40 days in the wilderness for Jesus were preparation for the fulfilling of God's promise, so when we're fasting, we're experiencing that wilderness so that when Easter comes, when Good Friday comes, it's a celebration." "The big theme is to pull back [...] and see the Bible as a book of redemption for all people." "[Lent] is an invitation to slow down, to rest, to lament sorrow, sadness, and brokenness, and then to turn our eyes toward the coming Sunday." "Experiencing Jesus and moving our lives toward Him and seeking to love Him in every way, a natural outworking is His heart and passion for others, which lead us to mission." "Our hearts can lament and long to see people come to faith. And then even as we live on mission, to embrace the reality, living a missional lifestyle, sacrificing for the sake of others, is hard. It's difficult, but it's good." "There is an invitation to slow down and experience Jesus, to practice something that could be life-giving."

In this special "how-to" episode and with his permission, we will peek in on a conversation that George Strawbridge had with Jesus.   This detailed conversation will show you how Jesus wants each of us to encounter Him.  Dr. Patty adds some commentary along the way. I think you will appreciate the questions George is asking here as they may be questions that you wonder about too, but never thought you could ask Jesus about them.  Jesus answered some practical questions like: How can I experience you? and  How did you live a sinless life?  What curiosities do you have about God?  Jesus will answer your specific questions in your Experience Jesus encounter time.   George Strawbridge is a member of our Online Spirit Life Workshops and learned how to have these conversations the same way that I did through the work of Dr. Mark Virkler at Communion with God Ministries using the dialogue journaling tool that we use on this podcast to connect with Jesus.  Links references in this episode: New to the Podcast?  Check out the Trailer Episode for the Biblical Foundation for Experiencing Jesus!  https://PattyEJ.Podbean.com/e/trailer-episode-experience-jesus-with-dr-patty-sadallah   The Special Place Encounter Exercise   https://tinyurl.com/j742vpz4   Dialogue Journaling and Scripture Tips to Pray God's Will Into Your Life https://pattyej.podbean.com/e/dialogue-journaling-and-scripture-tips-to-pray-god-s-will-in-your-life/   How to Teach People How to Experience Jesus https://pattyej.podbean.com/e/how-to-teach-people-how-to-experience-jesus/   How to Become a Fruit-Bearing Christian  https://pattyej.podbean.com/e/how-to-become-a-high-fruit-bearing-christian-flashback/   Connect with Dr. Patty regarding the Spirit Life Circles Mentored Coaching service.  She can let you know if we have any open spots!  Or ask me about becoming a Mentor!   Email her at psadallah@aol.com   Check out the NEW Spirit Life Journey App.  Click on the QR Code to play around with it.   Get Two Free Chapters of the Experience Jesus Book Series  https://pattysadallah.com/free-gift/   Check out all of Dr. Patty's books, journals, and downloadable resources at her bookstore, and don't forget to use the code EJPOD to receive 10% off everything, even the things on sale.  https://PattySadallah.com/shop/    Encountering the DIRECTION  of God: Experience Jesus Book 3 https://pattysadallah.com/product/encountering-the-DIRECTION-of-god-experience-jesus-book-3/   And please make sure you share this podcast and share how you were blessed by this episode by commenting below!  THANKS!  

Jesus isn't just part of life; He's the One who holds life together. Most of us treat Jesus like a helpful add-on—someone to invite into the hard moments, the Sunday mornings, the moral decisions. But the rest of the week? We're on our own. In this message, Digital Ministries Pastor Bradley Medford unpacks Colossians 1:15-17 and shows us what happens when we stop compartmentalizing our faith and start letting Jesus hold everything together. A true reset doesn't come from asking God to bless the life we've already built. It comes from centering every part of life—work, relationships, schedules, goals—around Him. Join us as we learn how to move from fragmentation to integration, and discover the peace that comes when Jesus is at the center of it all.

In this "identity" episode, Dr. Patty dives into what it looks like to reflect true Biblical Christianity as compared to the counterfeit worldviews of the Pharisees of the Bible or the modern-day self-righteous religious spirit and the New Age belief system.   She is referencing what she learned from the book  Am I Being Deceived?  by Drs. Mark and Patti Virkler.  No one counterfeits anything that is not real or valuable.  True Biblical Christianity combines the Word of God with the Holy Spirit with His interpretation and power.  the New Age belief system is Lie number one which espouses the belief in the spiritual realm apart from God as its source and leader.  So it is spirit without the Bible as a guide.  This lie opens participants to dark spiritual forces that can damage the soul and keep them from eternal life.    Pharisaicalism or the self-righteous religious spirit believes in the Word of God apart from the Holy Spirit.  This worldview as people begin with their own minds to understand the Bible,  with an emphasis on the rules of the Bible, being known more for what they are against than what they are for.  Leaving out the Holy Spirit and His nature and character causes them to reflect an unloving, distant, and punishing God.  Dr. Patty summarizes an interesting Barna Research study on the worldview of American Christians that reveals the costs of believing and living according to the counterfeits.  Jesus shares His heart on this subject and leads you on a path to discover His will for you in the Experience Jesus encounter time.    Links references in this episode: New to the Podcast?  Check out the Trailer Episode for the Biblical Foundation for Experiencing Jesus!  https://PattyEJ.Podbean.com/e/trailer-episode-experience-jesus-with-dr-patty-sadallah The Special Place Encounter Exercise   https://bit.ly/3cEkYBC Am I Being Deceived by Drs.

Rest isn't earned; it's received. Most of us are exhausted—not just physically, but spiritually. We're constantly chasing relief through distraction, entertainment, or just powering through. But relief is not the same as rest. In this message, Lead Pastor Clay Monkus explores Jesus' countercultural invitation in Matthew 11:28–30 and shows us what it looks like to trade temporary fixes for lasting refuge. The soul doesn't find peace when life finally calms down. It finds peace when it returns to Jesus. Join us as we learn how to stop running from our weariness and start resting in the One who offers true refuge—no matter how loud life gets.

In this "how-to" episode, Dr. Patty addresses several key questions related to how to make sure you are receiving and releasing anointed messages from God.  This is for anyone who has been called to write a blog, podcast, song, or story for a film, video, or other creative media in order to bless the body of Christ.  Why did God choose you to share a message?  Who is He calling you to bless with it?   What is the desired impact He wants to have in a person's life as a result of it?  How can you tell that the message is from Him and not from yourself?  What is God's way for you to release it?  Jesus shares His purpose for releasing messages through people and answers the key questions for you directly in your Experience Jesus encounter time.

In this episode, I invite us into a guided time of imaginative prayer — a contemplative practice rooted in the early church mothers and fathers that helps us encounter God in a personal, embodied way. Together, we step into the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus on the night before His crucifixion. As we enter this scene, we slow down, engage our senses, and notice what stirs within us as we witness Jesus' honesty, sorrow, and surrender before the Father. I hope you'll join me as we walk onto the scene of Matthew 26:36-42 and ask the Spirit to speak to us through this story.

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud Hance Scripture reference Luke 1:32-33; John 1:29; Matthew 4:17 Luke 1:32-33 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” John 1:29 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Matthew 4:17 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

You can't rest in a God you never notice. In a world that runs on hurry, noise, and notifications, most of us have forgotten what it feels like to be truly still. We believe in Jesus, but do we actually experience Him? In this opening message of our new series, Lead Pastor Clay Monkus explores Psalm 46:10 and invites us into a different kind of reset—one that begins not with doing more, but with waking up to God's presence right where we are. Spiritual transformation doesn't start with a better plan. It starts with awareness. Join us as we rediscover how to quiet the chaos, tune out the distractions, and encounter the Jesus who's been waiting for us to simply be still.

In this "identity" episode, we will dive into 1 Corinthians 12 where we will find three distinctive types of gifts that God gives you to help you fulfill your destined calling. The three types that are explored are the Holy Spirit manifestation gifts, the ministerial gifts, and the motivational gifts. Dr. Patty breaks down all subcategories of these gifts and challenges you to pause and have Jesus conversations about each type and how they relate to you.  Jesus will show you how He would like to see you release more of these gifts so can fully step into your fruit-bearing destiny in your Experience Jesus encounter time.

This teaching pulls back the curtain on the invisible battle shaping human lives and reminds us that the gospel is not only what saved us, but what God now sends us to carry. As we see clearly the state of the lost and the beauty of God's mercy, we're invited to live from Jesus' victory and step into our mission as people who carry light into darkness.

This message invites us to step into Jesus' victory by aligning our whole selves—mind, heart, and words—with the truth He has already established. We don't fight for victory; we learn to live from it. As we renew our minds, thank God in all circumstances, and declare His truth, we experience more of the freedom Jesus died to give us.

Christ didn't just rest for us—He rested as us. This message unpacks how the Sabbath rest promised in the Old Covenant finds its fulfillment in Jesus' finished work. His “It is finished” opened the door to a new kind of rest—freedom from striving, sin, and fear. We're invited to live seated with Him in victory, entering daily into the rest He already secured.

Jesus is someone to experience, not just learned about

Jesus finished His work — and then He sat down. In this message, we're invited to live from that same posture of victory and rest. Rest isn't passivity; it's faith expressed as trust. It's the choice to stop striving, stop trying to earn what's already been won, and take our seat with Christ — resting in His finished work and reigning from His rest.

A few months ago, I released a podcast episode where I invited listeners into a time of guided prayer called imaginative prayer—a practice that helps us encounter God in a more personal, embodied way. Since then, I've heard from so many listeners asking for more episodes like that one. So today, I wanted to offer another time of guided prayer. This form of contemplative prayer dates back the early church mothers and fathers. When we engage in this kind of prayer, we use our imaginations to place ourselves within a scene from Scripture. I hope you'll join me as we walk onto the scene of Psalm 23 and ask the Spirit to speak to us through this story.

Jesus already won the invisible battle, and now we're learning to live from His victory. This message invites us to align our lives with His rule, reign, and order so that His goodness can flow freely through us. When we seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, worry gives way to worship, and the life of God begins to shape every part of ours.
