“What is hard about marriage is what is hard also about facing the Christian God: It is the strain of living continually in the light of a conscience other than our own, being under the intimate scrutiny of another pair of eyes.”— Mike Mason, The Mystery of MarriageWhat is the fruit of a decade given over to apprenticeship, to the slow work of excavation, and to the painful but promising transformation within the Kingdom of God? More precisely, what is the fruit born from the tender soil of our closest relationships?Over twenty-five years spent investing in the shaping of leaders, I have found one of the deepest and most gladdening sources of confirmation to be the voices of the wives of Become Good Soil men. It is one thing, after all, for a man to speak of his own progress—but it is quite another, and perhaps of far greater weight, when a spouse dares to offer her own candid reflections on what it is to share life with one who has set his whole heart upon the precarious path of becoming.As we prepare to launch into an extended BGS Podcast series—a deeper dive into the central truths of Becoming a King—it seems only fitting, indeed right and good, and more than a little risky, to let this voyage begin with the voices of women. These are women who generously offer their honest and loving observations from a deep well of intimate relationships.This episode features the voices of four remarkable women whose husbands have been engaged with the message of Become Good Soil for a decade or more. Join me as they share about the joyous, transformative effects they've witnessed in every dimension of their husbands' lives, their marriages, and their families.For the Kingdom,Morgan and Cherie
Day 2 - Movie Session - Strawberry Fields Festival 2025 - David HoffmeisterJoin us for an illuminating session at the Strawberry Fields Festival, where spiritual reflection and profound wisdom merge into a life-changing experience.In this thought-provoking movie commentary, David Hoffmeister explores a powerful passage from A Course in Miracles, reflecting on change as the greatest gift bestowed upon humanity. The greatest gift you could receive would be the ability to change your mind about your mind. He discusses the nature of transformation—from the illusion of separation to the remembrance of our eternal, changeless essence. David offers a profoundly simple yet revolutionary perspective: The only way out is the way in—into the Kingdom of Heaven within. This talk isn't about behavior modification or trying to appear saintly—it's about deep inner listening. By tuning in to the Holy Spirit, surrendering to the intuitive voice within, and dissolving worldly worries in the presence of divine guidance, we align with true peace.

In this Ascension Sunday message, From Ascension to Activation, Pastor Mark explores how Jesus' departure wasn't the end—it was a launch. Using the metaphor of a SpaceX rocket, we reflect on how Christ's ascension prepares us for Spirit-filled mission on Earth. Jesus opens our mind to understand scripture and promises power in the Holy Spirit so that we can continue the work of Jesus in our everyday lives. Join us as we shift from staring at the sky to serving here on the ground.
Mark 4:1-20
In Acts 2, we find a body of believers devoted to the apostles' teaching, each other, the breaking of bread, and prayer. In a world of consumption, do those characteristics still define the Church today? The Church does not exist for itself – it exists to advance God's Kingdom on Earth and to reveal His love to people who are not yet part of it.

Topical style teaching of Matthew CH 13:17-46 addressing some of the most well-known yet controversial parables regarding the Kingdom of Heaven. This teaching aims to take a pointed look into these parables within the overall context of the message, allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture. In addition, we will be expressing the fact that what was being spoken was revealing a mystery associated with a period of time, where a series of events would take place prior to the establishing of the Kingdom of God. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.

Title: Faith Will Get You There — Pastor Derek Sissel | 25-Year CelebrationWhat carries you in the valley, keeps you grounded on the mountaintop, and moves you forward in the mundane? Faith.In this milestone message, Pastor Derek Sissel looks back on 25 years—not to reminisce, but to re-center. Preaching from Hebrews 11, he lays out what it takes to make it through the downs, stay faithful in the ups, and not get stuck in the in-betweens.This isn't a highlight reel—it's a charge:Faith isn't just belief. It's grit. It's discipline. It's direction.So whether you're thriving, barely holding on, or just showing up—this message will remind you:Faith will get you there.
As we continue our walk through the Gospel of Matthew, we come across the story of The Rich Man. We learn that it isn't our works that get us into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the belief in Jesus. Its through God's grace that we recieve our salvation and that its a gift. Nothing we do for God can get us into His Kingdom. Join us Sundays at 8:30 and 10:30am and Wednesdays at 7:00pm
In this message on Matthew 8:5-17, Thadd considers the context for Jesus' healing, the humility and faith of the centurion, and the mighty power of God to save and heal every person, no matter how far they seem from Him.
In this opening message of our June series, we step into a powerful rediscovery of the person, power, and presence of the Holy Spirit. Far from a mysterious force or an abstract idea, Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity—eternal, intelligent, emotional, and deeply personal. Using Jesus' own words in John 16, we're introduced to the Spirit as our Advocate, Comforter, and Revealer. He's not an “it”, but a “He”—the very mind and heart of God made present and active in our lives. Holy Spirit is not here to confuse or conceal, but to guide, clarify, empower, and uncover the hidden treasures of the Kingdom already given to us in Christ. This episode will stir your faith to not just learn about Holy Spirit—but to encounter Him. From the Scriptures to your quiet time, in worship or even standing in line at Starbucks, He is speaking. The question is: Are you listening? Prepare for a fresh unveiling of spiritual truth as we allow the Author of Scripture to illuminate the mysteries of grace, truth, and your divine inheritance.

When Mark Batterson was 22 years old, his church plant in Chicago failed. “It was embarrassing. It was discouraging. It was a little confusing, to be honest,” Mark said. However, God used that closed door to redirect Mark to start a church plant in Washington, D.C.—this time with a very different outcome. Today, he's pastored National Community Church for nearly 30 years and launched Kingdom-focused businesses to help people in his city. “I want people to hear my heart here that prayer is not outlining our agenda to God. It's about God outlining his agenda to us.”Hear Mark share his story and more Biblical wisdom on this episode of GPS: God. People. Stories.

Faith and Neuroscience: A Holistic Approach to Living with Intention Faith and neuroscience together form a robust framework for navigating life's challenges with clarity and purpose. In a world obsessed with speed and constant motion, we often race through life without noticing what's really happening inside ourselves. But lasting growth doesn't come through hustle—it begins when we slow down, become aware, and invite God into the process. Through honest reflection and emotional awareness, we create space for real, Kingdom-aligned transformation. Where Faith and Neuroscience Meet Faith and neuroscience don't compete—they complement each other. Neuroscience reveals how the brain functions, while faith offers a spiritual framework for renewal. Science reveals the process; Scripture defines the purpose. Together, they remind us that God designed us with intention, both biologically and spiritually. When we understand our thought patterns, emotions, and habits, we can align them more closely with God's truth. As Scripture says, “You are known by your fruit.” This level of awareness helps us evaluate not just our actions but the outcomes they produce—peace or burnout, connection or isolation, growth or stagnation. The Power of Pause: Slowing Down to See Clearly Speed often blocks transformation. We rush from one task to the next and drift off course without even realizing it. When we don't slow down, we miss the opportunity to check in with ourselves and with God. But pausing isn't a weakness—it's wisdom. Stillness creates the space for clarity, and clarity opens the door to lasting change. The “S” in the STEM model (which explores the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors) stands for “Seen”—what others and we ourselves can observe. But what's visible only scratches the surface. True growth requires digging deeper—examining our motivations, fears, and deeply held beliefs. Awareness is the First Step to Change Healing starts with honesty. We can't change what we refuse to acknowledge. That's why honesty is kindness—even when it feels uncomfortable. Naming what's real—your stress, frustration, sadness, or confusion—opens the door to healing and wholeness. About Heather Shriver Burns Heather is a former classroom teacher, turned corporate executive, and now entrepreneur. After building multiple 6-, 7-, and 8-figure businesses, she realized something was missing—she was successful by the world's standards, but she was stressed out. She knew God didn't give her an assignment to stress her out. So she redefined success with God and has been building her business with peace and purpose. Now, she helps ambitious Christian women stop striving for success and start seeking God's guidance to co-labor with Him in every area of life.

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." — Proverbs 15:22When it comes to managing money wisely, many of us could use some help, but how do you know you've found the right financial advisor? Today, we'll explore a few key questions you should ask when hiring someone to help you with your financial decisions. Sharon Epps is here to help us navigate that process.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.How to Find a Financial Advisor Who Aligns With Your FaithFinding a financial advisor can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. With the right questions and a clear framework, you can confidently choose someone who aligns with your values, demonstrates technical competence, and offers a transparent process. Here are three things to consider when hiring a financial advisor who shares your faith and values. 1. Values Alignment: Do They Share Your Worldview?The most important starting point is finding an advisor whose faith informs their advice. There's a big difference between an advisor who is a Christian and one who actively discusses financial decision-making through a biblical lens.Key Questions to Ask:What role does faith play in your financial advice?How do you define financial success?You're listening for more than a respectful nod toward your faith. You want to know if they see money as a tool for stewardship, generosity, and Kingdom impact, not just a means of personal gain.2. Competency: Are They Qualified to Serve You?Once values are aligned, it is essential to ensure the advisor has the technical skills and experience necessary to guide your financial decisions.Look for:Industry certifications (like CFP®, CPA, CKA®, etc.)Experience working with clients in your stage of lifeKey Question to Ask:Can you tell me about clients you've served who are in a similar situation to mine?Good advisors won't name names, but they should be able to share stories of impact that demonstrate how they've helped people like you.3. Process & Compensation: Are They Transparent and Clear?A trustworthy advisor will be open about how they make money and how they work with clients.Key Questions to Ask:Can you explain how you're compensated—fees, commissions, or both—for someone like me?What is your process for creating a financial plan?They should be able to explain their step-by-step approach, timeline, and what you'll need to provide—all in clear, understandable terms. You want someone with “the heart of a teacher.”Ready to Find an Advisor?If you're beginning your search—or even considering reevaluating your current advisor—you can start at FaithFi.com.

These advisors have been vetted for:Biblical worldviewIntegrityTechnical excellenceYou'll also find a free downloadable PDF with suggested interview questions to help guide your search. You can rehire your advisor every year, and it's wise stewardship to evaluate that relationship regularly.When advisors undergo CKA® training, they begin to carry the weight of stewardship—not only for their own resources but also for how they guide clients to make decisions with eternal impact. That's the kind of advisor worth seeking out.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I want to set up a will. We have a son we support and want to make sure he gets everything. I talked to a lawyer who said trusts aren't necessary anymore and are expensive. I have about $300,000 in home equity, and I'm wondering about taxes and how he might handle the property.My dad recently passed away.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to truly experience God's Kingdom as a culture? In this powerful exploration, we dive deep into how authentic spiritual experience creates culture that transforms society.The phrase "taste and see that the Lord is good" isn't just scripture to quote—it's an invitation to experience divinity in a tangible, undeniable way. When we truly taste something, it becomes memory, feeling, and revelation woven together. This kind of experience can't be manufactured through hashtags and hype; it must be lived and breathed until it steeps so deeply into the bones of a people that even their silence speaks.God works through generations, each expressing its spirituality in unique cultural forms. Looking back at previous spiritual movements, we see how each generation transformed worship in ways that confused their elders. The generation that introduced jazz in church and was criticized for "disco services" eventually established churches across continents. Now, ironically, that same generation sometimes struggles to understand today's expressions of faith.The current wave of Nigerian gospel music—through artists like Lawrence Oyor, Nathaniel Bassey, and TY Bello—isn't just creating beautiful sounds; it's "terraforming" society by bringing a completely new spiritual atmosphere. These sounds are like trumpet calls preceding divine visitation, so powerful they make you stop everything just to be fully present in the experience.For parents especially, this means allowing children to witness authentic worship. How can children experience the God you describe if they never see you worship, dance, or give sacrificially? Like Isaac who witnessed Abraham's faith firsthand at the altar, our children need to see lived faith, not just hear about it.Join our community across social platforms and be part of this movement that's reshaping culture through authentic Kingdom experience.
