HARVEST (7)| EXPECTATION OF REVIVAL | CHIMDI OHAHUNA In John 4:35, Jesus reminds us that the fields are ripe for harvest. This episode explores the divine purpose of mankind: to be useful in revealing God and proclaiming His truth. No leader desires to create anything useless, and God Himself created humanity with the ultimate use, to speak of Him and make Him known.  We reflect on the reality that faith is not passive; not believing is, in fact, a contradiction of what one claims to believe. Men must interact with men to show and tell who God is. Whether people accept or reject the message, God remains real. That is why He left the New Creation on earth: to interact, to reveal, and to testify of Him.  This episode also delves into the mystery of creation:  - God first created ADAM/Mankind as a physical being housing both male and female spiritual beings.  - Seeing that Adam needed a counterpart of equal class and level to reason with, God brought forth Eve from Adam was designed for relationship, with God and with one another.  As believers, we are called to give out our words about Christ and expect revival as we do. Soul winning is not about impressing others but about anticipating the salvation of souls. Knowledge alone is not enough; knowledge with understanding transforms lives. Continuous preaching and teaching help people grasp the gospel of salvation more deeply.  Key Takeaways - Mankind was created to be useful—to reveal God through words and actions.  - Faith requires interaction—we must engage others to show Christ.  - Creation reveals relationship—Adam and Eve embody God's design for fellowship.  - Revival is the true expectation—not mere impressions, but salvation.  - Knowledge with understanding—preaching consistently builds comprehension and faith.  Join us as we uncover the call to move from expectation of impression to expectation of revival. This episode will inspire you to keep proclaiming Christ, to live out your faith, and to anticipate the harvest of souls that God has promised.  Jesus is Lord.

John 17:1-261When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.6“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.20“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

The Apostle Paul explores how to hope leads to faith which leads to love...

May we walk in the boldness the Spirit brings so we can be witnesses for the gospel of Christ.

Mark 10:4545For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”John 13:1-171Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”12When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

BABY CHRISTIAN OR MATURE CHRISTIAN? Hebrews 5:12–14 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word ALL OVER AGAIN.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.February 14 takes us to Psalm 103, and this is a worshipful gut-check. Titus 3 told us the truth: salvation doesn't flow from merit—it flows from mercy. Psalm 103 turns that doctrine into doxology.David starts by talking to his own soul: “Bless the Lord, O my soul… and forget not all his benefits.” Translation: worship isn't always spontaneous—sometimes it's intentional. And if we're honest, a lot of us don't have a worship problem… we have a forgetting problem.Here's today's challenge: stop casually remembering God. Because you will never consistently worship a God you casually remember.Psalm 103 forces you to remember what you keep overlooking: He forgives. He heals. He redeems. He crowns. He satisfies. He doesn't just pull you out of the pit—He puts a crown on your head. He doesn't just erase your sin—He restores your soul. And if you're waiting to “feel” worship, this psalm says: start remembering. Write it down. Rehearse it. Preach to your own heart.So today, don't scroll past grace. Don't yawn at mercy. Don't forget the benefits.Read all 22 verses. Slow down. Let each line hit you. And then live like someone who's been forgiven, healed, redeemed, crowned, and satisfied—because you have.Remember Him. And worship like you mean it.

Eager to Preach

Preaching rarely goes exactly as planned. In this episode of Revitalize & Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst talk honestly about what to do when unexpected disruptions happen in the pulpit—and how pastors can respond with calm, wisdom, and grace. From technical issues to personal and medical interruptions, this conversation offers practical encouragement for pastors and church planters navigating real-life preaching challenges. In This Episode, You'll Learn How to Respond When: Technology fails during a sermon (microphones, slides, livestreams, and more) You start coughing, sneezing, or lose your voice while preaching You lose your place or your train of thought mid-sermon A medical emergency or major interruption happens during the service Whether you're a seasoned pastor or a new church planter, this episode will help you prepare for the unexpected and stay focused on faithfully proclaiming the gospel—even when things go wrong.

Many pastors faithfully proclaim the gospel—yet quietly wrestle with a growing gap between what they believe about God and what they actually experience with God. In this honest and searching highlight from our longer conversation, Steve Cuss joins host Jason Daye to name a tension many ministry leaders feel but rarely articulate: the disconnect between preaching faith and living it from the inside out.Steve reflects on a season where he began to wonder whether being a pastor itself had complicated his ability to experience God. He explores two powerful dynamics that often shape pastoral life—confusing our identity as God's beloved children with our role as God's employees, and neglecting our own inner lives in the name of mission, vision, and service to others. What can look like selfless devotion, Steve suggests, can sometimes mask anxiety, avoidance, and emotional disconnection.Together, Steve and Jason unpack how pastors can become highly “others-focused” while remaining unaware of what's happening within themselves. Steve vulnerably shares how a moment of “blind spot awareness” revealed this gap in his own life—realizing that while his head affirmed core truths of the faith, his body and daily experience did not. Rather than hiding this struggle, he chose to steward it openly, inviting his congregation into a shared conversation about doubt, freedom, and what it means to actually live the promises of the gospel.This conversation is a must-watch for:Pastors and ministry leaders experiencing spiritual or emotional disconnectLeaders carrying anxiety, performance pressure, or inner exhaustionThose questioning why faith feels true but not transformativeChurches longing for honest, embodied discipleshipKey Topics Discussed:The hidden disconnect between belief and experience in ministryNeglecting the self in the name of serving othersBlind spots, self-awareness, and spiritual awakeningWhy many believers proclaim truths they don't yet live

To Speak or Not to Speak #NK #NormanKissinger #RTTBROS #Nightlight"Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy." — Proverbs 31:8-9You know, I've been wrestling with something lately, and I bet some of you have too. It's this question that keeps coming up in my mind: when do we speak up, and when do we stay silent? In this age of the internet where you can post that you love apples and somebody's going to insult you for it, that's become a real dilemma for followers of Christ. There's so much noise out there, so many voices, and the stakes feel higher than they've ever been because thousands of people can see what we say in an instant.For years, I pretty much stayed quiet online except for official ministry work, wishing people happy birthday, or thanking folks from my past. I'd see posts that were way off biblically, things that grieved my spirit, but I'd just assume somebody else would address it. I'd think to myself, "It's a slippery slope. You can hurt the kingdom by saying the wrong thing or saying the right thing the wrong way." And that's true, it is a slippery slope. But lately, the Holy Spirit's been convicting me that silence has its own cost.Here's what I've been learning, and I'm too soon old and too late smart on this one: when we stay silent in the face of error, especially doctrinal error that's being spread by people who claim Christ, we're not just being careful, we're letting people slip into beliefs that aren't even close to biblical. Weak Christians, and let's be honest, even mature Christians sometimes, will hear stuff and believe it without questioning whether it lines up with what God actually says in His Word.The problem isn't that Christians disagree on things, there's always been healthy debate about secondary issues. Arminian or Calvinist, charismatic gifts or not, end times views, all of that, good godly people can land in different places and still love Jesus and hold to the fundamentals. But when somebody starts building entire theologies on conjecture, making heroes out of people the Scripture doesn't even clearly vindicate, or worse, when they start chipping away at the virgin birth, the inerrancy of Scripture, the deity of Christ, the necessity of holy living, that's when we've got to find our voice.I think about the Apostle Paul. That man didn't stay quiet when error crept into the church. He wrote whole letters confronting false teaching. He stood up to Peter's face when Peter was being a hypocrite in Galatians. He warned Timothy, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine" (2 Timothy 4:2). Paul understood that truth doesn't defend itself, it needs voices willing to speak it clearly and boldly.But here's the balance, and this is where we need the Holy Spirit's wisdom. Jesus himself stayed silent sometimes. He didn't answer every accusation, didn't engage every critic. There were moments when silence was the most powerful thing He could do. So we've got to be Spirit-led in this. We can't just respond to everything, we'd consume ourselves with arguing on the internet and accomplish nothing for the kingdom. But we also can't be so silent that error goes unchallenged and people drift into heresy.#Faith #Truth #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #StandForTruth #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Matthew 16:13-2813Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 20Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.21 rom that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”24Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

It could be said that Jesus' message in Matthew 5:16-20 boils down to this: “Preach always – and, when you have to, use words.” Our guest preacher Spencer Bogle shares a fascinating sermon on the value and purpose of human life. Spencer is the director of a non-profit called the Water Project (https://thewaterproject.org). The organization partners with locally registered non-government organizations in Kenya, Uganda, and Sierra Leone to provide reliable, safe water for rural communities, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Matthew 24:14 says "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."What if we told you that had mankind stayed on track with the great commission of Jesus from Matthew 28:19 (Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost) that Matthew 24:14 would have already been completed?Andrew and Robert read from Acts 1:8, Acts 8:15 and Judges 16:4-22 and talk about what's holding up Christ's second coming.Send us a textSupport the showQuestions or Comments?

In this episode of Bible Prophecy Answers, Dr. Alan Kurschner challenges a common imbalance in modern evangelism: many Christians boldly proclaim the cross (Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection) while rarely proclaiming the crown—the second coming of Christ, His kingdom reign, and His coming judgment. The result is a “truncated” message that often omits what the host calls the full gospel of the kingdom.

How Christ and His Word shaped my convictions and led me to IABC Jeff Christianson's Story with IABC — Why Christ and His Word Are Enough Many people know the International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC), but fewer know the personal story behind how I came to love and serve this ministry. As the current Board President and Executive Director, I wanted to take a moment to share a bit of my journey — not to spotlight myself, but to invite a conversation with those who care deeply about Christ-centered, Scripture-sufficient soul care. My introduction to biblical counseling began in the mid-1990s during Bible college. I took an elective course called Counseling God's Way taught by Bob Hoekstra. That class immediately resonated with me because it wasn't counseling as the world defines it — it was discipleship. It was the Word of God applied to the heart, anchored in the sufficiency of Christ. From there, I was shaped by ministries like the Biblical Counseling Foundation and resources such as the Self-Confrontation Manual, which challenged me to examine my life in light of Scripture (2 Corinthians 13:5). Over time, I became familiar with the broader biblical counseling movement, including organizations like NANC (now ACBC), and I began to see distinct streams developing. What drew me toward IABC was its pastoral warmth, its local-church rootedness, and its unwavering commitment to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6) and that His Word is enough to equip God's people for life and godliness. This special podcast episode shares that story — how the Lord grew my convictions, clarified my calling, and led me into this lane of ministry. If you've ever wondered where IABC fits historically, or if you share a desire to "return to the Word," I invite you to listen and join the conversation. "Preach the word… fulfill your ministry." (2 Timothy 4:2–5)

Our Christian ministry participates in Christ's ongoing ministry.

Father encourages us to teach the word, especially when we can't do anything else.

Romans 10:14-17 — In the sermon on Romans 10:14–17 titled “Called to Preach (2),” Dr. Lloyd-Jones elaborates on the qualities that make a good preacher. He dives into an equally important discussion: how does a person know if he's called to preach? Reading from this passage, he answers this question by reiterating the biblical definition of a preacher. He says that a preacher is one of God's ordained ways to spread the good news, for how can people believe without first hearing? But how does a person know if he's being called? Dr. Lloyd-Jones says that person may feel a pressure they cannot shake, an inclination toward a certain notion. Second, he says that the person must feel a burden for the souls of men and women. It is not enough for a man to want to speak in front of the congregation. This person must also care deeply about the spirits of those to whom he ministers. Lastly, in accordance with the person's burden for the souls of men and women, the man must be willing to preach the gospel. He must live for it, Dr. Lloyd-Jones says. He must be willing to preach the facts of the good news: Christ's redemptive death on the cross and the incredible salvation that comes through faith.

Drawing from the Civil Rights Movement and biblical wisdom, They address how to process strong emotions, engage with law enforcement wisely, and maintain unity across diverse perspectives. They also discuss what it means to be a praying church that empowers its members to serve, and offer encouragement to those in our community who are Americans by choice.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro01:17 Ghana Ministry Trip02:11 Minnesota Immigration Crisis04:22 Weekend Message Decision06:21 Navigating Big Emotions09:57 Protest vs. Tantrum17:47 Foolish vs. Wise Danger (Proverbs 22:3)24:37 Addressing ICE Actions28:49 Unity in Diversity32:26 Americans by Choice35:05 Empowerment to Serve36:26 Being a Praying Church37:00 Closing Prayer

Romans 10:14-17 — In the first part of his sermon on Romans 10:14–17 titled “Called to Preach (1),” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers an important question: what makes a preacher? As he curates a biblical list that describes an ideal pastor, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones declares the first reason for preaching. Quoting from Romans, he reads, “And how can they believe in whom they have not heard?” The primary reason for preaching is to herald the good news to those who have not heard. As Paul wrote, people cannot believe in something unless they're told of it. The second reason for preaching, he says, is because a person is called. Dr. Lloyd-Jones gives a number of New Testament examples of people being called to preach the good news. Chiefly, he cites Christ's calling of the disciples. Lastly, he reminds the listener how important it is for a preacher to be appointed by the congregation. He again quotes passages from the New Testament where the church selected and prayed over certain people to bring the message locally and abroad. A person cannot appoint himself to preach. He must be given the responsibility by the church body. Dr. Lloyd-Jones concludes by saying that these three points are essential to preaching and the great opportunity to share the promise of Christ.

Mark 10:17-3117And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'” 20And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” 21And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.23And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, “Then who can be saved?” 27Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” 28Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.” 29Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, 30who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Dave, Ed, and Jeremy begin an occasional series sharing things they are learning about preaching the Bible from the Bible itself.

Countless lives changed when the apostles preached the gospel throughout the Roman empire. God has touched hearts throughout the centuries as his word has been proclaimed by brilliant orators in ornate cathedrals, the simplest of country preachers, and missionaries in far off lands. Has your life been transformed by hearing the Word of faith? Tune in to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to hear about the power of God's transforming Word.

Jesse and Preach return to the Podcast to discuss the MSQ that was and the surrounding state of MMOs. Final Fantasy XIV has delivered a tight patch and a glimpse at where the story is heading. We question what will be important later, who are the Winterers, the Squirrel Suit, what was Yoshi P hinting at and much much more. Fan Fest will be here before we know it and the Roundtable shall return. Supportourbromance.com or Alphinaud will just stand there in 8.0.
