Pastor Davon Hawkins - is a powerful voice in the Kingdom of God. He has a passion to help people understand that living life as a follower of Jesus Christ is about the relationship, not religion. His grandmother was instrumental in introducing him to Jesus and bringing him up in the church from a young age in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. However, the lack of a father-figure, the enticement of the streets, and struggles of life drew him away from God. After trying to navigate life on his own terms through the murder of his brother and cousin, and the thoughts of suicide, he realized he couldn’t do it on his own. God answered the fervent prayers of his mother and grandmother when he found his way back to God. His mother offered him a safe place in Denver, Colorado to rebuild his life and rekindle his relationship with God. Because of his own trials, he has the heart to reach the millennials and introduce them to the love of Jesus. He became an ordained minister in 2018 and is the Associate Pastor of Rivers of Living Waters Fellowship in Centennial, CO where he ministers The Word of God alongside his mother, Pastor Monica Gilbert. He worked as a Youth Probation Counselor for Allegheny County. Since then, God has called him into the world of entrepreneurship where he started his own company at the beginning of 2020. He is a committed husband to his beautiful wife of 10 years; and a loving father to his two boys. He shares his favorite Bible verse with his brother, Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Pastor Andy Bittle from Iowa is today's guest. He's the counseling pastor at Living Waters Fellowship in DesMoines. Find him at LWFDesmoines.com Mark introduces Andy and then they discuss the 8th and 10th myths of addiction as noted in Dr. Lance M. Dodes' book The Heart of Addiction: A New Approach to Understanding and Managing Alcoholism and Other Addictive Behaviors (Harper Collins, 2002) Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Myth #8 says, "People with addictions have an addictive personality." We agree and we add the following to make it biblical. We are sinners at our core: our mind, our will, our flesh -- all areas of our lives -- have all been affected by sin. It's not something outside us exerting its influence on us. - Pastor Andy Bittle Not "self-nurture" as the world's counsel says, but turn ourselves toward Jesus. Myth #10 says, "Denial is a failure to recognize reality." We agree, and we add the Christian rationale and wisdom to view it through a biblical framework. God works in the lives of individuals ALL THE TIME. So the idea that denial is part of the "disease" of addiction is not true. "Physically speaking, dependency is a true concept. But the idea that I don't have any power to choose anything else is not true." - Mark Shaw Ezekiel 36:26 "a new heart and a new spirit" is what God promises to us. The Bible offers hope! The Addiction Connection created a course entitled The Bible vs Self-Help Philosophies (audio course) available online at www.theaddictionconnection.org https://theaddictionconnection.thinkific.com/courses/the-bible-vs-self-help-philosophies
Monica Gilbert is pastor of Rivers of Living Waters Fellowship in Centennial, which has a powerful ministry to victims of sex trafficking as well as prison inmates.

Pastor Dennis Lee from Living Waters Fellowship in Mesquite, Nevada shared with us what God had placed on his heart for the church. And not just the local church, rather the global church. God gave him four things to pray for in order to defeat the satanic attacks on God's people. First; we pray "Spare" us oh Lord and show us your pity and compassion, second; we pray "Restore" what the enemy has taken from us, third; we pray "Draw" us closer to you oh God, and fourth; we pray that we can be "Revived" in our spirits. Linda and Paul then lead you into the prayer of deliverance and healing and claim this four fold request for every listener. Join us and be blessed.
We've all struggled to share our faith in one-on-one conversations. We also struggle with personal spiritual disciplines intimately connected to our effectiveness in evangelism—i.e., prayer. On this episode, Josh Daggett, lead pastor at Living Waters Fellowship in Des Moines, Iowa, shares his own encouragements, failures, and victories in these critical areas of ministry. We dig into a theology of evangelism, God's sovereignty, and human responsibility in the process of conversion, then move deep into the practicalities of how we can all improve in our personal discipline. You'll be deeply encouraged and challenged. Josh earned his Bachelor's degree (Pastoral Major, Greek Minor) from Faith Baptist Bible College in 2004 and earned his Master's degree (Biblical Studies) from Faith Baptist Seminary in 2005. Josh and his wife, Danielle, have been married fourteen years and have four children. He has been an ABWE Board member since 2012 and has been an ACBC Certified Biblical Counselor since 2017.
