 Do we really understand what it means to have the mind of Christ? The photo credit is from the movie Johny Nmeumonic, and it was about a man who carried important 'downloads' in his mind. But in order to carry it all, he had to erase part of his memory.
In the Christian's case, we have the mind of Christ and don't need to erase anything. But does that mean the instant we're born again we suddenly know every thing? Of course not. We have access to all things through Christ (see Romans 5:2, and 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Join Steve Bremner and Dave Edwards this week in our first of two discussions regarding activating the prophetic in our lives and accessing the mind of Christ and learning to hear his voice more clearly in day to day circumstances.

 This week we're privileged to have on the podcast Stephen Best, pastor of River Run Fellowship in Peterborough, Ontario, for a discussion regarding finding and fulfilling your purpose in God. It was very refreshing, and we discuss some sacred cows, such as;
Are there such things as 'divine appointments'?
Does God have a pre-arranged soulmate for each one of us?
Can we know whether we're in God's permissive will or His perfect will? Or do such distinctions even exist in the God journey?
This was definitely a fascinating discussion for me as we touched on some sacred cows.

 Presence removes the need for argument. Revival is a bi-product of His presence.
Join us this week as we go in a completely different direction from last week's discussion and cover the presence of God. This week we talk with Jeremy Connor, a friend of Dave Edwards’ and teacher at Bethel Life in their home church. We had a lot of fun yet covered some deep stuff as well, and ask challenging questions like: Do you value a book or do you value HIM? Is being ‘desperate’ for God or “spiritually hungry” actually a good thing or a sign of maturity? Is it really that easy to quench or grieve the Holy Spirit?

 Does hell really exist? Of course it does, and that's not what we talk about today on the podcast, but rather who goes there and how to know if you're one of them and what to do about it
We post this rather urgent discussion about eternity and eternal matters, because in a current season when many people are talking about hell, it seems most are just watering it down or re-writing Scripture. So, that's why today on the podcast, Joel Crumpton shares his thoughts with Steve Bremner concerning this important and sobering subject, as well as his expertise in soul winning on the streets for over 27 years. Joel shares powerful testimonies of God using him, and encourages you to share your faith with others.
Do you know for certain where you'll go? If you are sitting on the fence, give this a listen and examine yourself.

 Join us this week as we finally have back on the show author and international speaker S.J. Hill. He joins Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner as we talk about judgment again (it's been a couple of years so if you haven't heard those ones, check them out in our archive with SJ here).
We tried to discuss and answer some of the following questions: Does God really send disasters and calamities to cities and nations in order to teach its people lessons? If so, does it work? Does a ‘rapture mentality’ produce a people interested in what happens in the earth during their generation? Does the Church have way too pessimistic of an outlook when it comes to God’s involvement in the earth today? Does the Church embrace too much fatalism when it comes to dealing with every day events and natural disasters as they happen around the world?
How Is The Church specifically, and the culture in general, supposed to deal with ‘doom and gloom prophets whose ‘prophecies’ don’t come to pass? No, we’re not talking about fringe groups but ones who are more mainstream and accepted in both evangelical and charismatic circles.
Don't miss it! And don't forget to visit SJ's site at http://www.sjhillonline.com and his new podcast over at http://www.enjoyinggodpodcast.com/

 Join us this week as Brian Parkman, Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner discuss who we are in Christ, and just what kinds of things were accomplished at the cross that are now ours to walk out. You might want to listen to this one over a few times, as we cover lots of good points and Scriptures, and seek to help each other understand we don't need to twist God's arm in prayer to do certain things. You will find this to be a very refreshing conversation. Enjoy!

 This week we continue our discussion on speaking in tongues, this time with returning guest Brian Parkman. Brian's a teacher at the FIRE School of Ministry, specializing in this very topic. This week we cover the purpose of speaking and praying in tongues, and why you don't want to miss out on this as just "one" of many Spiritual gifts. We also discuss the nature of personal edification, and corporate prophesying.
Join us and subscribe, as this is the first half of our interview/discussion with Brian, to be concluded next week.

 This week Dave and Steve try to cover the subject of speaking in tongues, but this time from the angle of asking specifically if it’s the one true initial evidence of receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Steve says yes, always, while Dave says almost always, and we take it from there basically.
We cover the usual passages this topic elicits, and look today in depth at Acts chapters 2, 8, 10, 15, and 19 mostly and had little time for much else, so it might be a topic we revisit in the near future, and spend a little bit of time in 1 Corinthians 14.
What does “do all speak in tongues” mentioned in passing in 1 Cor 12:30 refer to? Are all tongues created equal? Does the Bible really say that one needs an interpreter every time they speak in tongues?

 This week Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner sit down to talk about something burning in our hearts, but wind up having a spontaneous discussion on idolatry, and what that looks like in our society culture.
Do you have anything you're setting up in your life "beside" or "near" the altar of God that is taking up your focus and time, in actuality AWAY from God? Do you have any seemingly holy and right ingredients you're adding TO the Gospel's power in your life, that are actually evil and subverting the role of the Holy Spirit in your life?
If you aren't sure, and want to know how you can discern your spiritual condition, listen to this discussion and get challenged and encouraged.

 Join us for the latest episode where Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner continue discussing the supernatural, and God's greatness. Do you know how great you were destined to be? Once you become a believer, is your heart still 'deceitfully wicked' in God's eyes?
Also, we discuss some feedback we've received and follow up on some years' old podcasts that we felt needed to be addressed in light of developments since that time. What are we referring to? Listen and find out! This week's intro: Heaven by Jars of Clay

 This week join Steve Bremner and Peruvian worship leader Dennis Arrevelo, live--or, I should say, recorded in Peru. They discuss praise and worship, intercession, warfare and interesting Old Testament symbolism related to ancient warfare strategy and tactics as it relates to worship.
Dennis has a very excellent revelation and teaching on the subject matter, so you won't want to miss this discussion.
I apologize for the sound quality, as using/sharing a brand new podcasting mic coupled with sitting in a concrete room did not good make for good acoustics, but I think you'll still enjoy!

 Since many people make New Year's resolutions that involve weight loss or spiritual disciplines to fast more, we thought we'd tackle the subject of fasting. Join us this week as David Edwards and Steve Bremner continue their series on unpopular subjects in the body of Christ:
Is it really beneficial or even necessary for the believer in the New Covenant? What is true fasting? Do we have any commands in the New Testament that we're to fast, or was that part of Jewish culture? Is it about abstaining from only food, or other things? In what situation did Jesus say "this kind only goes out by prayer and fasting?" You may be surprised, so join us in what is going to be the first in at least two parts on the subject. This week's intro, "Fire To My Soul" by Demon Hunter.
Check out Steve's exposition of Matthew 17:14-21 here in an article called "Because of Whose "Little Faith?"And visit here for David's article on The Hidden Manna mentioned during the discussion.
