Let's get honest about a lie holding too many of us back. Somewhere along the way, we picked up this false idea that humility means shrinking, that dreaming big somehow makes us prideful. But here's the truth—thinking bigger isn't prideful, it's faithful. Playing small doesn't honor God. Stewarding your gifts—that's what glorifies Him. So today, we're tearing down the lie that safe and small equals holy. We're stepping into the dreams deep in your heart—the ones so bold and beautiful, you almost feel guilty for wanting them. The ones that whisper, “Who do you think you are?” Here's the answer: You are His. And it's time to trust Him enough to dream bigger.

What if you were primarily know for for the most shameful thing about you? Most people, if they know anything about Van Gogh, know that he cut off his ear. What brought this visionary painter to such a place of despair and shame? And once we know the actual story of why he wounded himself in this way, what obligation do we have to steward his painful story well? This seminar digs into the circumstances surrounding Vincent’s beautiful and tragic final years, and examines how to care well for fellow sufferers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Yep, Darby and I just kept talking and decided to hit record!All truth is God's truth! Even non-believers can use spiritual principles. We, as maturing Sons of God, need to be operating at a higher level of understanding, power, and authority to bring more heaven to earth!HIGHLIGHTS:1. Spiritual laws work—whether you know Jesus yet or not. Just because someone isn't in a church pew doesn't mean they're not getting results. Why? Because they're tapping into spiritual principles that God wired into the universe. All truth is God's truth—even if people stumble into it without knowing the Source. It's not New Age magic; it's divine design. Now, if they are accessing this power outside of Christ, there will be a price to pay. Jesus already paid the price for us as believers to access this spiritual power.2. The enemy doesn't create—he imitates.Satan has zero original ideas. He can only copy God's systems and twist them. That means when people use spiritual tools the wrong way, it's not because the tools are bad—it's because they're being hijacked. The original blueprint? Still God's.3. We're wired to desire—but only God fulfills.Desire isn't sinful. It's sacred. We were designed with desire on purpose—by God. The problem is when we try to satisfy that desire outside of Him. So what are addictions? Misguided attempts to fill a divine ache that only Jesus can satisfy.4. You're not just a spectator—you're a co-creator.We're not meant to just pray “Your will be done” and sit around waiting. We were created to go into heaven, see what God wants, and bring it here. That's not some woo-woo theology—it's kingdom responsibility. You've got authority, and you're built to orchestrate things from the spiritual realm.5. Comfort is the enemy of calling.When everything shakes (and it will), what's really being tested is where your security lies. Are you clinging to the conveniences of the world, or are you anchored in the unshakeable kingdom? The illusion of safety keeps people stuck—but you? You were made for more than microwave faith and spiritual autopilot.6. Don't Be Impressed by the Supernatural if Your Life's a Mess.You can have visions, dreams, or talk about angels all day, but if your life looks like chaos, something's off. The fruit matters. Real encounters with God should produce real transformation. Don't settle for hype—go after what actually works.7. Truth Isn't Just a Concept—It's a Person.Darby drops a truth bomb here: transformation happens in layers, but the ultimate goal isn't just knowledge—it's relationship. Jesus is the capital T Truth, and the more you engage with Him, the freer and more aligned your life becomes.8. Ask God for Real—He'll Show Up.Forget arguing theology. If someone's skeptical, just dare them to ask God to reveal Himself. He's not hiding. Darby even “double dog dares” people to pray a one-liner—and guess what? People encounter God. Because He's real, and He loves the invitation.9. We've Got Something Better Than New Age: A Personal God.You can experiment with breathwork or study the laws of attraction, but the difference for believers is relationship. The Kingdom life isn't just metaphysical principles—it's grace, truth, and a God who walks with you. And that changes everything.10. Mind Renewal Is About Releasing, Not Striving.You're not trying to become something new—you're uncovering who you already are in Christ. Religion piles stuff on. Kingdom peels it off so your true identity can shine. You're not fighting for victory—you're living from it.LINK for DARBY:- Connect with Darby: https://www.darbyslaton.com/LINKS for BRALYNN:- Get Bralynn's Book!

What does it really mean to live for the Kingdom of God? This week, we're diving into what it looks like to steward God's Kingdom right here on earth. Jesus calls us to live with purpose: to stay humble, honor God, and walk in real holiness. That means letting go of pride, choosing to value what He values, and finding joy in living a life set apart for Him. The Kingdom is here.

Marissa explains what we need to do with a prophetic word that we received.
Stewarding the Mystery // Pastor Vlad by HungryGen
In this powerful message, we're challenged to recognize and steward our encounters with God. The parable of the talents from Matthew 25 serves as a cornerstone, illustrating how God entrusts us with spiritual gifts and experiences. Just as the servants were given different amounts according to their abilities, we too receive unique encounters with God. The key is not the quantity or intensity of these moments, but how we invest and multiply what we've been given. Are we like the servants who doubled their talents, or the one who buried his gift out of fear? This parable reminds us that God celebrates our faithfulness and desires for us to actively engage with the revelations He provides. As we learn to recognize His voice in our daily lives - whether through subtle impressions or dramatic experiences - we're called to respond by drawing closer to Him, sharing our gifts with others, and allowing these encounters to transform our hearts and minds.
Message from Anand Mahadevan on May 11, 2025
On May 4th, 2025, Kris shared a powerful message about "Stewarding Favor" that reveals how our self-perception directly impacts our ability to love others. Do you struggle with truly loving yourself? Kris explains his personal journey of discovering that he couldn't properly love others until he learned to love himself the way God loves him. We explore how grace and favor are actually the same word in Greek, and how you've been given grace not just for yourself, but to release to others! When you sabotage your own favor through negative self-talk or destructive behaviors, you actually limit the grace you can distribute to those around you. Listen in as we break covenants with the accuser and learn to steward the royal identity God has given us—not for our sake, but for the sake of those He's called us to impact!

We all have the opportunity to hear from God. And many of us would say we desire to. But once we DO hear from Him, then what? We need to think through the appropriate response to revelation from the Lord. How do we position ourselves to receive it, and how do we steward it WHEN received? Hosted on Acast.

Are you spending quiet time every day in conversation with God? In this episode, Jeff and Marty discuss: Working as a cohesive leadership team.Prayer is a secret sauce for success.Stewarding what God has entrusted to us.Living life to honor your parents and prior generations. Key Takeaways: You cannot have enough communication. Communication is at the heart of everything we do in life, business, and ministry.People are ambitious and driven and can handle more responsibility earlier than many think.We can make it through more than we think we can.We need to be generous because it's the right thing to do, not just because it is right for business or looks good or any other reason. It's about being a blessing to others. "It's about helping people whom you know. There's nothing in it for you. It's just a blessing to be generous with people who you will never get anything from. The profound irony there is you actually do get a tremendous amount of blessings, but it's not calculated on a spreadsheet, per se. There's just so much more to the richness of life that comes from it." — Marty Ozinga Episode References: Lead With Prayer: https://www.leadwithprayer.com/ About Marty Ozinga: Marty Ozinga IV is the chief executive officer of Ozinga.

Part 3 of this fascinating story of redemption! You will be lost if you skipped parts 1 and 2. Enjoy!PURE GOLD:80-90% of people are separated from the land of their inheritance. This limits access to the fullness of God's blessing, and the open heaven for rich encounters with the Lord. Ask the Lord if your family was taken from the land, or was the land taken from your family.BIO RECAP:Timothy Bence is a forerunning Kingdom of God builder, and has learned to walk in true sonship. He helps construct a foundation for others to build on, and instructs many to walk in their gifts, calling, and grace by being a part of the living body of Christ, the Ekklesia. He lives with a promise from the Lord, and a growing desire to see whole cities and nations saved where every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord.HIGHLIGHTS:– Finding a man of peace on each side of the Israeli / Palestinian border amidst the bombing and gunfire.– Asking for a new memorial to be written because the last time His name was written it was written by a Roman, and put on a cross. It called him the King of the Jews. But he's not just the King of the Jews. He's the King of kings.– Miraculous things start happening when you find the land that's calling your name! You begin to steward over the things He's calling you to steward over. Especially the presence of God.– Everybody that I know is praying for a move of God to come. But what if we don't know how to steward over the presence, when it comes we'll ruin it. Because we'll do something that dishonors the King of kings, or dishonors one another, and he'll take up the cause of the righteous, and he'll protect and uphold the rights of the widow and the orphan and the poor and the strangers among us.– If we despise anything that he despises, our field might stop producing fruit, not because it's not capable of it, but because God will require repentance before it will spring to life again.– The land will reflect to you the condition of your heart. If you're right with God, it will be a bountiful field. If you're not, it will let you know. This is how it's supposed to work from the beginning. This is why the garden was important. – This is really important. To understand that when you find your field. One of the highest and most fun things to do is to inquire of God about details on the field, what he wants, what he likes. If something's there, grow it out. If it's not there, plant it or build it.– You have to name it. The field really does come alive when you name it correctly, just like a child coming out of a womb. If I name it correctly, it's because I've discovered its creative purpose and design. So I don't want to call it something just because I like the name. I want to call it what God says it is. If it's a field of olives, then I'm going to give it a name that reflects that. If it's going to be a city, then I want to call out the name of that city. You want to name your field, what God says its inherent purpose is. Then that gives you a clue on what you're going to steward over all the days of your life.– In the book of Acts Barnabus was the first to sell property and give the money to the apostles. But this was actually an act of repentance for owning a field he wasn't supposed to have as a Levite. He would have had to find the heirs of the original land owner to sell it back into their family to restore their inheritance and make the land right again with God.LINK for TIMOTHY:– Contact Timothy Bence: IamTimothy@gmail.comLINKS for Bralynn:– Get Bralynn's Book!

Wow, what a story! I love that Timothy has been pressing into the deeper things of God for decades, and this story spans several. You'll be on the edge of your seat, laughing and crying along with us. And, of course, if you missed part 1, definitely go catch that because it's one continuous recording. PURE GOLD:“The value of the land of your inheritance is not just the intrinsic value…it's where you have an open heaven for encounters with God!”“The land will spit out the wicked and wait on the feet of the righteous!”BIO RECAP:Timothy Bence is a forerunning Kingdom of God builder, and has learned to walk in true sonship. He helps construct a foundation for others to build on, and instructs many to walk in their gifts, calling, and grace by being a part of the living body of Christ, the Ekklesia. He lives with a promise from the Lord, and a growing desire to see whole cities and nations saved where every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord.LINK for TIMOTHY:– Contact Timothy Bence: IamTimothy@gmail.comLINKS for Bralynn:– Get Bralynn's Book!

How can Christians engage meaningfully with history? In an age underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, contemporary Western culture holds that the past has little to teach us. We live in an age that historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker terms as the “Ahistoric Age,” in which we are profoundly disconnected from history. In the attempt to appear relevant, the church often embraces this ahistoric worldview by jettisoning the historic ideas and practices of Christian formation. But this has unintended consequences, leaving Christians unmoored from history and losing the ability to grapple with its ethical complexities. Sarah Irving-Stonebraker joins Hank Hanegraaff to discuss what it means to be a priest of history and why it matters more than ever for Christians to maintain this critical conversation with the past.To receive Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age for your partnering gift, please click here. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resources-priests-of-history-stewarding-the-past-in-an-ahistoric-age/Topics discussed include: What does it mean for Christians to be priests of history?

Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
This week, Ruth welcomes artist and pastor Delwin Eiland to discuss the spiritual practice of tarrying. Delwin shares his experience as a worship leader, emphasizing the importance of silence and restraint in spiritual life. The episode delves into how communal tarrying can create space for deeper connection with God and the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding these moments. Ruth and Delwin also discuss how silence can act as a form of resistance and sovereignty over one's inner life. The episode concludes with a tarrying moment held by one of Delwin's songs, titled 'Wait for You.' We are journeying through Lent with a podcast season entitled “Tarry with Me Awhile: Learnings from the Black Church.” We will use Dr. Selina Stone's book, Tarry Awhile: Wisdom from Black Spirituality for People of Faith, as a guide. Black spirituality has much to offer us in understanding the practice of tarrying as a Lenten practice. Together we will seek a deeper understanding of waiting on God in the liminal space—where the resurrection feels far off, and our deaths and suffering are present. Delwin Eiland (TC19) is an artist, pastor, & leader who exists to create trustworthy connections, God-centered affirmation, empathetic challenge, and steady, vulnerable leadership. He sees his work as a means to the end of building bridges and cultivating lasting connections. With over 25 years as a professional musician, Delwin brings experience and leadership in church environments and venues ranging from 30 to 30,000. He is a proven strategic & creative collaborator with work including Bethany Christian Services, the FILO Conference, and the Global Leadership Summit. Delwin currently serves as the worship pastor for Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI, as well as the worship leader for The Transforming Center. He and his wife, Ashlee, have three children. Music this season is provided by Julian Davis Reed. Julian Davis Reid (TC20) is an artist-theologian from Chicago who uses sound and word to offer hope to the searching, presence to the sorrowful, and rest to the weary. A pianist, composer, and producer, his projects featured on this podcast are the two solo piano records Rest Assured (2021) and Beside Still Waters (2024) and his single Moan (Matthew 2:18) featuring Tramaine Parker, released on Inauguration Day 2025 on the project When Souls Cry Out. Julian steadily releases music under his own name and with his group, The JuJu Exchange. You can learn more about his work at juliandavisreid.com.

From practical ideas like creating a generosity fund, to deeper conversations about legacy, obedience, and joy—they show how aligning our money with our faith leads to freedom, not restriction. Whether you're just starting out or rethinking your approach to giving, this conversation offers encouragement, wisdom, and hope for living with open hands and hearts.
