Bruce Hildenbrand, raised as a pastor's kid in rural Michigan, learned early on to rely on God for everything. So, when he faced uncertainty about his college major, he encountered the Holy Spirit in a powerful way, guiding him into the business world with one condition: that Bruce would dedicate all of it back to God. Since then, Bruce has become a serial entrepreneur with a 35-year passion for operating from a profound relationship with God. His journey is one of steadfast obedience, producing abundant fruit for the Kingdom. He fully dedicates his talents, resources, and business endeavors to glorify God. Bruce brings valuable insights into recognizing the voice of the Holy Spirit in business, practicing generosity, and investing in eternity. Major topics include: Bruce's supernatural encounter in the middle of a business lecture The necessity of a relationship with the Father as a businessperson God's view of wealth vs. the pharisaical view Focusing on EROI (Eternal Return on Investment) The heart posture of a generous giver Keys to hearing from the Holy Spirit How you can start serving your community today QUOTES TO REMEMBER “You can't do anything if you don't have a relationship with the Father.” “If you are going to exercise spiritual gifts, you need God's protection because you will be under spiritual attack.” “God, don't prosper my bank account before You prosper my soul.” “God wants all the credit. He wants you to say, ‘God, You get all the credit for everything I do.'” “Riches are not the divine approval for your life.” “You can fool man, but you can't fool God.” “Don't violate God's principles and expect Him to prosper your business.” “A relationship with God must be consistent, persistent, and tenacious.” “God's first definition of a generous giver was a poor widow.” “It's not about how much we give, it's about our heart condition.” “Write the check and get out of the way. Let the Holy Spirit to His work.” “As a businessman, if you really understood the Bible and you really understood where you're going to end up forever, you would be plowing every dime that you have into your eternal account.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Treasures in Heaven, Part 1 by John MacArthur (YouTube Video) Treasures in Heaven, Part 2 by John MacArthur (YouTube Video) YouVersion The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Deuteronomy 8:17-18 | God Gives Wealth   Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.'

Everything you experience in this world has the power to cause despair and hopelessness if you allow it to. However, there is a better way to experience life's big and little circumstances. If you can, bit by bit, daily learn to trust the Lord. He will prove himself faithful and trustworthy. Pastor Ricky will encourage you today with many reasons why God is worthy of your trust in all circumstances. If you remember that He's never been defeated by the enemy and is for your good, you can continue to grow in trust of Him.

When you face attack, or pain, or desperation, where do you turn for peace and security? Often people think that inward peace and safety from the outside will come from money, friends, or knowledge but you can't find it with some desired results or a certain feeling. Pastor Ricky will explain today that you can only find peace and security in the strong city, dwelling with God through faith in Jesus where the walls are your salvation and Jesus is your righteousness to enter. Don't turn to anyone or anything else.

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Isaiah 26 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. ...

The city plays a prominent role in the Bible. It can represent human society living apart from God and in rebellion against him. This city will come to an end. But another city gives us a vision of our future with God. This is the city of salvation. It will last forever. Today we will consider what life is like in the city of the LORD and how we live in our city with a vision of that one. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

With more than 3.9 million, Texas is home to more Black residents than any other state. Yes, Texas is the second-most populous state in the U.S., but California has the most multiracial Black residents and New York has the most Hispanic Black residents. The Lone Star State is home to the most non-Hispanic, single-race Black residents. The single biggest reason? Slavery. But there's nuance to the answer too. Deborah Liles, the W.K. Gordon Chair of Texas history at Tarleton State University, explains what may have kept some Black residents in Texas after the Civil War, and Amber Sims, the executive director of the nonprofit Young Leaders, Strong City, details the progress that's been made and the steps we still need to take.

Every cities are guarded by princes of darkness. Strong Cities swallow up it's inhabitants. Strong cities have patterns and dark cloud that keep people under certain embargoes. Many people have fled because the city repelled them and the voice of the city spoke against them. As a believer you can thrive in a strong city and reap a hundred fold. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/firefortoday/support

Isaiah 26 is one of those biblical passages that ties together so many of the bible's great themes of promise. "The strong city" of God stands at the forefront of the chapter. This city, personified by God's presence, is the very dwelling place of God. It is based upon Jerusalem of old, but finds its biblical fulfillment in the Church, the true people of God (cf. 1 Peter 2, Rev 21). May we all find safety in the New Jerusalem of God, the Church of Jesus Christ.

You want to kind of feel yucky and also feel bad about kids raised in tough situations and get yelled at by Willy to go read a book while also (maybe) laughing and (maybe) learning about a cult? Then listen to this episode. Otherwise, listen to this episode.

It's time to head out to the desert for part one of our obsessively scholarly two-part series on the Strong City cult, as well as our timely and informative discussion on being touched by the Holy Spirit and the debaucheries of Bert and Ernie. Or whatever.

Leonard Dirickson, or Lenny as he was known to friends and family, was a 39 year old dairy farmer in Strong City, Oklahoma who on the morning of March 14, 1998 had breakfast with his 16 year old son Jared, before a day of work on the farm. At approximately 9 am, an unknown visitor arrived outside of the front door of the house, and Leonard went outside to talk to him. While he didn't appear to know who the man was, the two appeared to be having a normal, polite conversation. A few minutes later, Leonard came back inside and told Jared that the man was interested in taking a look at a horse that he had for sale. He didn't mention who the man was, but told Jared he would be taking a trip with him to view the horse and should be back that afternoon. That would be the last time Jared would ever see his father. A witness put Leonard at a restaurant just a few miles away approximately 2 hours later with a man matching the description of the man who came to his house. They again appeared to be having a normal conversation. It's believed that Leonard and the man never made it to the stable to view the horse, and there wouldn't be another sign of Leonard until 6 months later when a bizarre sighting placed him at a bar in Amarillo, Texas. When police responded to a call from a man claiming to see Leonard at the bar, they found that the caller and the man believed to be Leonard were gone. Since then, there has been no more word on his whereabouts. There is no body and no evidence of a crime. To this day the whereabouts of Leonard Dirickson are still unknown.
