We continue our spiritual disciplines series with one more entry. This week Dan and Steve discuss the process of waiting on God. Sometimes we feel Him everywhere in our life, other times the heavens seem made of brass and like He couldn't be further away. Join us as we plow through some Scriptures and talk about how this relates to our spiritual lives on a practical basis. We also cover some brief updates. Hope you all had a great Easter Weekend.
This week's intro: "Waiting on Today" by P.O.D.

Dan & Steve continue their discussion on spiritual disciplines, such as Scripture memorization. What is Biblical confession? What is Biblical meditation? Join us this week and find out why what you always thought these things were is probably different than what the Bible actually teaches---and NOT some weird new age practices. I apologize for the poor sound quality—I used my computer’s internal mic, which picked the fan noise from inside the machine—very difficult to remove properly in editing.
Join us this week and next as we cover a few spiritual disciplines related to praying in tongues and meditating on the Word of God, systematic Bible study, and Scripture memorization as it helps you build up your inner man. Who knows, maybe you will discover some sacred cows in your life to kill that hold you back from a richer fuller life of obedience to Christ. First of two parts.
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Romans 8:14). It's a common catch-phrase used in many charismatic circles, but is the way "being led by the Spirit" commonly taught really biblical? What is the difference between being led by the Holy Spirit, and having the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16), or being a doer of the Word (James 1:22)?
Don't let the title fool you--this is not specifically an end-times theology podcast. Has the escapist mentality of the generations of Christians before us “waiting for the Rapture to happen” caused distrust of this current generation towards leadership in the here and now? If we believe things are only going to get worse, do we have any hope to see a move of God take place in our generation if we think we’re going to escape "any minute now"? Join Dan & Steve this week as we discuss how negative expectations of the end-times have really hindered the Church from truly stepping out and believing for God to do big and mighty things--TODAY.
How could we have a sacred cow barbecue and not include one of the most controversial topics of all in The Church--MONEY? This week we tear apart a couple of typical “offering verses”—passages misquoted and used to manipulate the flock of God into giving. Is tithing biblical? Does entering the ministry mean you’ve taken an oath of poverty? Is poverty a sign of spirituality? Is wealth?
The sacred cow killing continues: Are altar calls biblical? Are head coverings really important? Are Christian women really not allowed to be in ministry or teach men? Join us as we go closer than the proverbial ten foot pole to determine what part of the cow needs to be grilled on the barbecue this week, with Dan Slavin and Steve Bremner.
A teaching Dan Slavin and Steve Bremner taught jointly at the 2006 Fire For Life Summer school on the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives as a result of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and as a witness for power, not just emotional goosebumps.
The sacred cow barbecue continues, as Dan and Steve discuss some more unchallenged doctrines in the Body of Christ at large. This week: has knowledge really passed away, along with all the other gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 13:8)? Should prophets who are wrong only 1% the time be stoned as 'false' prophets? Grab your Bible and a cattle prod and join us as we find out. MOO!
Join Dan and Steve as they begin a series on sacred cow theologies and doctrines in the church. What are they and how do we recognize them? Is “seek the Giver, not the gifts." really written anywhere in the Bible? Do we really have the freedom to ignore the Old Testament because “we’re not under the law but under grace?" Or is everything written in the Old Testament to be heeded with no ifs ands or buts? Was Paul’s thorn in the flesh really a disease and if so/not, what does it matter? Grab your Bible and a pitchfork and get ready to slaughter a couple of cows with us. MOO.
In this week's show Dan and Steve discuss specifically what it means to fully trust God with our whole lives, leaning on Him instead of our own strengths. Also included, some important updates regarding the ministry, and we also discuss a few ways to tell the difference between when God is leading you to do something compared to when our imagination is just running wild.
Join Dan and Steve for a rather sobering and challenging discussion on the situation with Christians in 2/3 of the world who are not as fortunate as we are in the pampered and spoiled West. We attempt to talk of the persecution and the real 'by life or by death' Gospel our brothers and sisters face in 'closed' countries.
Join Dan and Steve as they tackle the issue of alcohol in the Christian walk, and Jesus the friend of sinners--including the alcoholics and boozers. Does it matter? If so, then why? Is it cultural? Does the Bible encourage or teach abstaining or moderation? Does the church really "reach the lost" in bar settings and pubs? Are we doing enough to reach out to the marginalized in our society?
