Overcoming Reluctance and Embracing God's Calling Expresses a personal struggle with reluctance to fulfill what is perceived as God's will. Emphasizes the importance of acting under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to avoid empty, ineffective actions. "if you don't do it under the spirit of the Holy Ghost, you're just going to get up here and you're going to laugh a few words. You're going to sit down and it ain't going to bother nobody." Critiques the prevalence of formality over genuine spiritual experience in contemporary churches. "We've got too many churches today going through a formality." The Power of Testimony and Personal Transformation Highlights the transformative power of a personal testimony and being born again. "if you ain't got a testimony, brother and sister, you better get born again." Shares an anecdote about a conversation with a son regarding parental guidance and the importance of instilling faith. Son expressed anger towards parents due to their methods. Drove home the importance of confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection for salvation. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, that thou shalt be saved." Affirms God's unwavering support through life's challenges for those who are saved and washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. "God will bring you through. I don't care what you're going through. When you've been pardoned again, washed with the blood of Jesus Christ, honey He will bring you through the darkest moment." Preaching the Gospel Without Compromise Stresses the importance of preaching the gospel without sugarcoating or compromise. "He didn't tell me to come in here and sugarcoat it. He didn't tell me to come in here and compromise. He said preach the gospel." Enduring Temptation and the Reality of Sin Cites James 1:12 to emphasize the blessedness of enduring temptation. "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation." Warns against being drawn away by one's own lusts and enticements. "Every man is tempted when he is drawn away from his own lust." Explains that the devil will do everything possible to attack those who walk with God, referencing the story of Job. Explains the progression from lust to sin and ultimately to death. "When lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And when sin is finished, it brings forth death." Salvation, Chastisement, and the Need for Genuine Faith Reiterates the necessity of confessing salvation and living in accordance with God's will to experience a "payday." Shares a personal experience of surviving a severe accident miraculously, attributing it to God's protection. Crawled through 12 inches of windshield on a tractor trailer and never got a scratch. Explains that chastisement is a sign of God's love, referencing Hebrews. "Those I love I chastise. Those without chastisement is bastards and nonsense." Suggests that many people have a superficial faith, going through formalities without truly accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior. God's Unchanging Nature and the Importance of Prayer Affirms that God has not changed and remains the same. "God has not changed. He's still the same today, tomorrow, and forever." Shares an anecdote about a sister's unwavering faith and prayer that led to a personal salvation. Sister prayed and knew God would save him. Shares a personal prayer for his children's salvation, expressing willingness to sacrifice himself to prevent them from going to hell. "If it means to take me out and to get me out of the way, I said, don't let my children go to hell." The Way Out of Sin and the Role of Jesus Emphasizes that there is a way out of sin through Jesus Christ, who intercedes on our behalf. "There is a Savior.

What does it really look like to live a life shaped by God's mercy? In Romans 12:1-2, 9-21, Paul paints a powerful picture of true worship—not just in songs or rituals, but in everyday acts of love, humility, and grace. This transformed life rejects the patterns of the world and embraces a radical way of living that overcomes evil with good. Hear how God is inviting you to surrender fully to Christ and become a living witness to His redeeming love.

Throughout the Bible we are commanded to love God and to love our neighbor. Jesus said that these are the 2 greatest commandments on which hang all the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 22:40) Jay Adams wrote: 'Love is.. not something you fall into. Love is a decision of the will to obey God's command whether we like it or not.'
"Start where you are - do anything you can do, and do everything you can, until you find something you must do! That something is probably your spiritual gift." - Jim George

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we explore the transformative journey of following Jesus—not just as a belief system, but as a way of life. Discipleship is more than knowledge; it's an invitation to apprenticeship with Jesus, where we learn to be with Him, become like Him, and do as He did.We'll discuss the core practices of discipleship, including intentional spiritual disciplines, community engagement, and personal transformation. We'll also dive into the concept of a "Rule of Life"—a framework that reshapes every aspect of our lives around the teachings and example of Jesus. Join us as we unpack how individuals and communities can embrace this journey toward a truly mobilized faith.

Church Life “Radical Ministry” Acts 9:20-25 A Transformed Life (vv. 20-21) 1 Ti. 1:13a-c, 15b-16 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 15......, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. 16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. An Apologetic Ministry (vv. 20, 22) Psa. 110:1,5-6a The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool…. 5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. 6 He will execute judgment among the nations, ” (53:3-12). Jo. 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. Paul in Col. 1:15a-16, 19.15 He is the image of the invisible God, ....... 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.... 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, A Risky Ministry (vv. 23-25)
In this powerful episode of Ordinary People with Extraordinary Lives, host Arlenys Buckelew sits down with Pastor David Jordan, the Family and Marriage Pastor at Redeemer Bible Church, to explore his remarkable transformation journey. Raised in a conservative Southern Baptist home, David thought he was saved but later realized he lacked a genuine relationship with Christ. From evangelizing in high school without genuinely knowing Jesus to experiencing a crisis of faith in his marriage, David shares his path to true repentance and salvation. David discovered a deep love for Christ and the Bible through expository preaching and discipleship at Jack's Church in Burbank, California. This shift in his heart led him from a career in computer graphics to pastoral ministry, where he now focuses on discipling couples and strengthening families. David's story is a humbling testimony of God's grace and provision. Watch his encouraging message about examining your faith and pursuing a life rooted in Christ now!
