 The ceilings of one generation become the floor the next generation stands on. Do you know the purpose of your generation? According to several surveys and studies, the current generation in America under the age of 30 outnumbers the Baby Boomer generation, and these are the ones who are going to be tomorrow's leaders, innovators, politicians, and.....church leaders. But yet only 1 in 20 consider themselves spiritual or Christian. Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner discuss a bit of what living in a post Christian culture is starting to look like.
We also, primarily talk today about this current generation, as well as continue where we left off last week and talk about the messes of the gift of prophecy, and have safe environments to grow in the prophetic.
How do we deal with conflicting prophetic words from well-known credible men of God and church leaders, not the least of which includes dealing with when prophetic words never come to pass and they remove their prophecies from YouTube or their webpages?
How can we know when it's OK to reject a Word someone gives us, AS they're giving it to us, even if their track record is excellent?

 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.

 Join us again this week as Jeremy Connor, Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner discuss the kingdom of God--or at least try to, as this is probably going to come up again in the near future but we start off with a good discussion.
Questions that came up and may or may not have gotten answered:
What is the kingdom of God? Is it linear through out all of history, or is its full manifestation future tense only? Do you bring heaven to earth with your words, and actions? Do you live a supernatural lifestyle? What was an apostle in the Bible? Do we represent them accurately when we name people 'apostles' today?
This was the conclusion or the follow up to last week's discussion. This week's intro: Fire It Up by Thousand Foot Krutch

 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?

 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/

 In this message David Edwards discusses how we can view ourselves supernaturally. There is a supernatural side to all of us because we are created in His image and have access to heaven. There is a Superman or superhero inside us that longs to get out, and we enter into this by realizing what is the surpassing greatness of His power towards us who believe. We are the supernatural ones that all of creation is longing for to be revealed.
Find out how to become a superman or superwomen--those who possess the power of heaven here on the earth.

 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 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.

 This week Dave and Steve banter about all sorts of things today, but mostly we stick to healing, the prophetic, dreams, and the difference between an eternal mindset versus a linear mindset. How clean do you need to be before you’re ready for a bath? Does repentance of sins need to happen first before healing can take place? We also practice some spontaneous operating in the spiritual gifts and publicly share and interpret an interesting dream. Don't miss this week's podcast!

 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.

 What is prophetic, or repentant thinking? Join us in the second part of this discussion, as David Edwards and Steve Bremner continue their series on repentance and Holy Spirit mind renewal. We share some thoughts on bringing heaven to earth and understanding our place in Christ, and learning where we are seated (in the heavenlies). We had a relatively spontaneous conversation, and are pleasantly surprised at the direction the Holy Spirit took us in this time. Check it out!
