Young and impressionable, Susan was drawn to the creative and spiritual environment of a church called the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOPKC). She was soon courted by leadership and then isolated her through "special mentoring," with claims that God revealed the IHOP leaders her unique spiritual destiny. The philosophy its pastor, Mike Bickle, and ultimately the New Apostolic Reformation made questioning leadership equivalent to questioning God himself. Unlike Bickle, John Wimber of The Vineyard Movement established accountability structures and rejected many NAR excesses. Susan finally begins to question the teachings.

Jordan Pelphrey is the Student Revival Pastor at Vineyard Northwest in Cincinnati, OH, and is also one of our Regional Youth Mobilizers for Vineyard USA in the Great Lakes Region. In this episode Jordan and I discuss what training teens in their own discipleship looks like. Specifically, how do we model and impart a passion for living out the spiritual disciplines? We specifically talk about Sabbath, how it has changed Jordan's life, and how he thinks it could be powerful for teens. We then spend some time talking about screen time and how it can be an obstacle to discpleship not just for teens, but also for us leaders.

Season 4, episode 21For this episode we revisit our 2022 interview with Pastor Andy Smith from the Belfast Vineyard about freedom from oppression - specifically as it relates to spiritual warfare and deliverance. Andy along with his wife Harmony have led Belfast City Vineyard since 2002. They also serve as Regional Leaders for the Vineyard Churches in Ireland, and have two teenagers.

Mike is the youth pastor at Vineyard Gilbert Comunity Church in Gilbert, AZ, and he is also the co-youth mobilizer in the Mountain Region. In this episode we cover two major topics. First, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of having a large representation of middle schoolers in your youth group. Second, we talk about the stigma of staying in youth ministry for a long time. Why does it feel like if you stay too long, you are doing something wrong? Can someone be called to youth ministry over the long haul, and if so, how do we do that without feeling like we've missed something?

What Jesus Intended: Finding True Faith in the Rubble of Bad ReligionTodd Hunter is the founding bishop of The Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others and the founding pastor of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Costa Mesa, CA.

In this episode Dave Paolozzi of Tehachapi Vineyard turns the tables on Christian and interviews him about Project Timothy. We discuss the origin story of PT, why we think it is so valuable to teen leaders, and what we are trying to accomplish with each camp. We also talk about the importance of creating spaces for teens to own their faith, to step into leadership, and how to do that even on a very small scale.

It's been nearly 45 years ago that I attended a jazz concert sponsored by a Sacramento area church. I was invited to it by my boss, Jim. I had been working for him for a year or two at the Magic Tunnel Car Wash. It was at that concert that Jim's life, shaped as it was by his love for Jesus, came to make sense to me. When someone asked me why I'd come forward at the end of the concert, my answer was simply, “I want what Jim has.”  It was that simple focus on Jesus in Jim's life and in that little community that drew me into a new way of living and, eventually, into the vocational focus of my life. And refocusing on Jesus along my journey has been what has renewed me, even revived me, when my life began to feel heavy, or wayward, or empty.  All of this is why I'm so happy to be talking with Todd Hunter, my bishop and my friend, about his new book What Jesus Intended: Finding True Faith in the Rubble of Bad Religion. Doesn't that title speak to where so many of us find ourselves these days?  The Rt. Rev. Dr. Todd Hunter is the founder of The Center for Formation, Justice and Peace. He is past president of Alpha USA, former national director for the Association of Vineyard Churches, and retired founding pastor of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Costa Mesa, CA. He is the author of many books, including Christianity Beyond Belief: Following Jesus for the Sake of Others, Giving Church Another Chance,  Our Character at Work and Deep Peace. He writes a weekly newsletter, The Gospel of the Kingdom, that you can find on Substack. Todd also happens to be my bishop and my friend.  _________________________________________________________Connect with Alan on LinkedIn or learn more about Unhurried Living programs on their website. 

Keirstyn is the youth pastor at Vineyard Church of Central Illinois, and is also the regional youth mobilizer for the Midwest Central Region. This episode is a far ranging conversation about leadership. We touch on specifically leading in the Vineyard, as well the importance for being grounded and humble, the power of sin, and the need for boldness as we present the truth to a generation desparately in need.

As we kick off our new season, we welcome back Chantal Perrone. She is the youth pastor at the Vineyard Community Church in Prosper TX, and is also the regional youth mobilizer for the Gulf Coast Region. Chantal and I discuss how we saw God moving in the youth at the national conference this summer, how to avoid burnout when doing ministry and balacing life and work, and how to better build bridges between youth ministry and kids ministry. It's a great conversation, I think you'll find it super helpful. Welcome back to Redpoint!

In this episode, Todd Hunter talks about the aims of Jesus and how getting back to His purposes can help us through bad religion. We talk about living in the Kingdom of God, how we receive it and how we are sent to be His witnesses, and many other facets of the Kingdom. We talk about spiritual practices, so that we can do good works when moments present themselves. We talk about the gospel – what it is, what Jesus said it is and how we can live into it. Bishop Todd Hunter's life-long passion is to help others heed the call of Jesus to “come follow me” and thus to live their life in the kingdom of God as Jesus embodied, taught and demonstrated it. Bishop Hunter's vision for such a life entails being the cooperative friend of Jesus, seeking to live a life of constant creative goodness, for the sake of others, through the power of the Holy Spirit.This overarching vision has led Bishop Hunter to engage deeply with a few core themes:The Gospel of the Kingdom The person and work of the Holy Spirit The nature and purpose of the church at the intersection of gospel and culture (missional ecclesiology) Spiritual formation as core to discipleship to Jesus Servant-hearted, kingdom-minded, Spirit-empowered leadershipBishop Hunter has expressed his kingdom-Spirit-formation-church-culture focus in various settings.

Suicide feels awkward to talk about. How do you bring it up? What do you say? The myth that if you talk about suicide, it will give people the idea and open the door for them to self-harm. In Kenya (April, May, June) over 480 persons died of suicide. Church is/should be leading in meeting our core needs to belong, find purpose and have hope. Mary brings a very timely message that helps bring awareness of suicide and how the church can help both individually and corporately. Mary Gitau, is the founding director at Centre for Suicide Research and Intervention (CSRI). Mary is also an elder at the Lavington Vineyard Church and sits in the National Counsel for the Association of Vineyard Churches in Kenya

This week, Matt has an inspiring conversation with Noel Isaacs, the director of the Vineyard Churches in the Himalayan region which we know you will love.

II Kings 1-5 We are in the Nation stream today reading from the New American Standard Bible. 7streamsmethod.com | @7StreamsMethod | @serenatravis | #7Stream | Donate Commentary by Dr. Drake Travis Wow, Heavenly Father.  It is never a dull day walking with you. Let us be inspired by your mighty deeds and the mighty men who faithfully walked with you.  Amen. 1 - Ahab (Jezebel's 'sellout' husband) has recently died and Ahaziah his son began his two-year reign.  He was a dark soul like his father Ahab.  Incidentally, Moab rebelled against Israel soon into Ahaziah's reign. He took a fall in his palace and in his distress, he called upon Baal; God of Ekron to learn if he would recover or not.  Elijah was irate that Ahaziah called upon Baal - god of Ekron - to tell of his fortune. So Elijah pays him a visit, gives the dirty lowdown, that for his going to Baal for answers, Ahaziah was going to die; he would never leave his bed, and Elijah leaves. The king and messengers send for Elijah to bring him back and straighten him out or to renegotiate a different prophecy - who knows but that the plan to fetch Elijah and remind him how to treat a king is not terribly smart.  So a captain with 50 men are burned up by fire from heaven at Elijah's command. They send another captain with his 50 and it happens again!  A third group of identical size approaches Elijah but with a different attitude. So Elijah complies after prompting by an angel prods him to do so. Elijah goes to King Ahaziah [again] and declares what he said prior. Everyone knew not to provoke Elijah, wouldn't you say so?! So Ahaziah dies. The word here is that Baal was wrong. Elijah spent much of his years denouncing Baal - and those who followed Baal looking to him for life and answers. This was wrong, for Baal was a false idol that merely served to distract people from the God of Abraham. Ahaziah is gone and Jehoram assumes the throne since Ahaziah had no son. 2 - This is the chapter of Elijah's finale~ and departure   Take special note of this man's life for he is among the most salient men in the Bible and in all history.  Among all the characteristics of Elijah, his enduring deed was to mentor Elisha. Elisha asks one thing from him before he departs and that is that Elisha receive a double portion of the Spirit of God to be upon his life. The requirement is that Elisha see, actually SEE Elijah going up to heaven hosted by angels, and horses and chariots as he departs earth. This means that Elisha was not take his eyes off of him.  Keep that in mind regarding a mentor in this life - don't take your eyes off him. And this goes for the Holy Spirit that mentors us in our lives. Don't take "your eyes" off of Him. We must look to the Spirit of Christ to guide us and we will receive that guidance.  Elijah's departure is a show they would never forget. The spirit then rested upon Elisha. His authority and anointing is verified immediately when he directs fifty men. He heals a water well, and curses a group of smart alecks who ridicule him - they are attacked by bears immediately.  This is another prophet that y'don't want to take lightly, argue with, cross-buck him, or go against him in any way. He speaks for God so when Elisha is speaking, God is talking to you --> listen up. 3 - this is a tangled chapter with much intrigue and puzzlement and no shortage of gore.  It is an interlude in Elisha's ministry wherein he is simply consulted about battle.  The entire chapter does serve to illustrate for us the tumult that Elisha is serving amid. Jehoram; king of Israel implores Jehoshaphat; king of Judah / and the king of Edom to all combine and fight Moab. As they march the seven days to Moab there isn't water so a panic arises. [Jehoram proves to be a trifle manic in all this, btw.] Thus, Elisha is called upon. He advises, water comes, the advancing Moabites think it's a 'valley of blood' and they interpret that Israel/Judah/ Edom have all turned on each other for a slaughter. So Moab charges -and gets surprised! While being overwhelmed in battle, they retreat and go head on against Edom. Nothing works in Moab's favor and so in a grossly sadistic and ghoulish move he burns and sacrifices his own son and hangs him from the wall. This scene caused the battle to wane and Israel to retreat and not try to tax Moab anymore. They realized that the King of Moab was willing to kill anyone/anything.  It's fiendish, yes, and yet Moab's sacrifice worked.  Our apologies for talking this through. We'll stop with this right here. If you are curious to read of a collateral report, do a search on "The Moabite Stone" that King Mesha of Moab made to commemorate this whole very strange battle. The Moabite Stone was discovered by archaeologists in the 1860's A.D.  You can look it up from there is you are so compelled. 4 - Elisha performs a miracle to save a widow and her family. The pots were filled with oil as oil multiplied without stopping while Elisha continued pouring.  If they had fetched more pots, those would have been filled too! The oil stopped flowing when the empty-pots-to-fill stopped coming. There's a faith message in this that I hope is being heard. Then the Shunnamite woman had a son as Elisha had prophesied.  Note this was afterthey had provided quarters for Elisha to rest in.  Later Elisha raises him from the dead - This is one of theseven resurrections in the Bible - how many?!  Elisha continues headlong in a flurry of miracles that we will keep reading about next week. Next there is accidentally poison in their meal that Elisha makes edible. Then loaves and grain grows while being served - enough to feed everyone... 5 - Naaman, the valiant soldier and captain of Aram's army is healed of leprosy. The Israelite girl that was captured and served Naaman's wife is the one who 'opened this door' for the miracle to take place. Naaman and his family and others want this healing so badly, they carry 750 lbs. of silver and 150 lbs. of gold as a gift for Elisha to prompt him to action.  This healing becomes a stunning testimony that even Jesus spoke of 800 years later.  Notice how many times Naaman is told to dip in the Jordan.  Remember the Holy Spirit is alllways eager and ready and wanting to alight upon an obedient soul.  But looking this over, did the Holy Spirit need money to heal Naaman? Did Elisha? God heals for His glory and His testimony and for His name to go forth.  Catch the double-edged warning about using blessing for greed. Elisha's servant, Gehazi hopes to pocket some cash from the miracle ... and it costs him his health.  John Wimber, the founder of the Vineyard Churches asserted that a person with the gift of healing is never to charge money for administering the Holy Spirit and healing people. A word to the wise should be sufficient here.  Bless people with God - don't bill them while saying "it's for God."

Assistant Rachel Couper introduces a message we believe is important for the whole church from very special guest speakers Rick and Becky Olmstead. Rick and Becky have been planting and leading Vineyard Churches in the US for over 30 years and are deeply passionate about children and young people.

We welcome David Hayward, known online as the NakedPastor. David is an artist who formerly was a Pastor of Presbyterian and Vineyard Churches. Over the last 12 years David has been producing art – sketches, watercolours and paintings that have resonated deeply with people questioning their beliefs, deconstructing systems of religion, and looking for hopeful ways of seeing the world.   We speak about how deconstruction can be hopeful. David tells us that while he appreciated his time as a leader in the institutional church, he is able now to be more pastoral, not less. After speaking with David we felt a sense of gratitude and joy, the blessing of accepting that we don’t have to be anxious about making sure to believe the right things. It is even okay if we don’t believe properly. Our call is always to love one another.   You can find out more about David and buy some of his wonderful art on his website or check him out on any social media platform.

The values that underpin Vineyard Churches around the world are basically the same. This week, with the help of Paul Cruchley from Vineyard Church Cardiff we unpack the first 3 values: The Main and the Plain. Keeping biblical truth central and the main things the main things. The Now and the Not Yet of the Kingdom. The mystery of the Kingdom of God. Come Holy Spirit. At heart we are Holy Spirit empowered evangelicals.

Planting Vineyard Churches In Kenya - Noah Gitau by VCUKI

Welcome to The Shaun Tabatt Show! Today I sit down with Dianne Leman to discuss her brand new book We're Pregnant! How to Receive God's Cure for Infertility. Here's the ground we cover in today's conversation: First off Di, tell us a bit of the Dianne Leman origin story. I'd love to hear more about your family background, how you and Happy met, and when it was that your first encountered Jesus. (00:38 - 16:45) You grew up in a church environment that didn't believe in miracles. How did people react when you miraculously became pregnant? (16:46 - 19:04) How did you begin ministering to others struggling with infertility as you were now starting to have your own children? (19:05 - 23:20) People struggling with infertility experience a lot of discouragement. What sorts of truths would you share with them to build their faith and help them to begin moving towards a place where they believe change and healing is actually possible? (23:21 - 30:26) Part two of the book helps build the reader's faith and part three gives them some concrete action steps of praying, believing, partnering, and never giving up. Talk to us about those. (30:27 - 36:56) What do you hope the reader takes away from your book, both those who are struggling with infertility and those who and ministering in this area? (36:57 - 39:38) Di, if the listeners want to find out more about you and about your brand new book, where should they go on the web? (39:39 - 40:51) About the Book:  If you have longed to shout, “We're pregnant!” but have lost hope of ever doing so, this book will restore your hope. Dianne Leman shares her own story of receiving God's cure for her hopeless infertility after she and her husband exhausted all their natural and medical options. Now the mother of five, grandmother of 16, and pastor to thousands, Dianne discovered how much God wants to cure infertility in every couple. This book is for you, whether you know God or not—you might have no faith at all, a weak or wavering faith, or a deep and abiding faith in God. His love and healing are not bound by our faith or worldview—thank God, literally! Hundreds of couples from all over the world have implemented the lessons outlined in this book. They have received answers to their dilemmas of: "It's impossible for us to get pregnant. There is nothing medically wrong, but we still can't conceive. We don't even know if we even believe in God or how to pray! We don't know what else to do." Hundreds have had hope restored and have received God's cure for infertility and the gift of children. You will be encouraged as you read the stories of others and learn how you can apply the same lessons to receive God's cure for infertility. You, too, may soon be singing, “We're pregnant!” About the Author:  Dianne Leman married her University of Illinois sweetheart, Happy, and together they dreamed of successful careers in finance and education and of raising a large family. However, Dianne had a devastating struggle with infertility and a dire diagnosis of no hope, no children. Their hopelessness gave way to a surprise encounter with a miracle-working God, and after seven years of marriage, they became pregnant with their first son. This so revolutionized their lives that they started a small gathering in their home that eventually became a church, The Vineyard Church of Central Illinois, in Urbana, Illinois. Together Dianne and Happy lead this church of over 3,000 people. A graduate of the University of Illinois , Vineyard Leadership Institute and Vineyard Bible Institute, Dianne serves on the National Executive Board for the Vineyard Churches of America. She also leads the national teams for Women in Leadership and Spiritual Renewal. In her free time, Dianne loves reading books, walking with her husband, swimming in her pool, and playing with her many grandchildren.
