handsraised.jpgJoin us again as Steve Bremner talks with missionary Mark Burgess about the necessity of discipleship, but also the practicalities. An important point that seemed to be emphasized is that you influence and teach people in your area of influence, and should not exclude yourself because you’re not a "clergy member".  We are ALL called to make disciples!

Is the church service the most important thing a pastor should be focused on?  What about his or her sermon?  Did Jesus teach his disciples they must have a splashy web page on the internet?  How does accountability fit into the role of being discipled and making disciples?  Is it possible to be discipled by the pastor of a large mega church through media such as internet and books?  Listen and be challenged as we discuss these and other points that came up in the discussion.

This week's intro: Game On by Disciple

discipleship.jpgThis week we change gears again and interview Mark Burgess.  Mark and his wife Anna and kids have been living in Peru for a few years now, and currently are responsible for upwards of 70 people actively being discipled in their cell churches in Chorillios, located on the Pacific coast of Peru.  We talk about what it is to be making disciples and building missional communities, and why the Great Commission is not just a call to make converts, but disciples.

Are you multiplying yourself into other people?  What about those who you call ‘disciples’? Are you actually discipling others or keeping them at a distance, teaching them with words or studies, but unwilling to allow them access to you?

This week's intro: Change the World, by P.O.D.

Projectfoto.jpgJoin us this week for a discussion with missionaries Rett and Sherrill Bragg, missionaries to the jungles of Peru since 1979.  They share with us how God has been using them to save children from child sacrifices, family suicides, and more. Not your typical run of the mill Christian discussions, but they are out there facing things most of us don't give a second thought to, dealing with witch doctors, planting works in places that don't have any running water or electricity.  Be challenged and pray about how you can help them with their project 'Refuge of Glory.'  This week's intro: Time, by Day of Fire.

identity.jpgJoin us this week as we interview missionary to Mexico, Mike Witte.  We learn a little about what he and his family are planning to do on the mission field, and in our latter portion of the conversation, discuss our identity in Christ.

Do you know the difference between a slave servant and a son?  Do sons 'storm the gates of heaven' in intercession?  If you desire to be used of God to lay hands on the sick or operate more in miracles, give this mp3 a listen to encourage yourself that you have what it takes to have the Spirit of God flow through you to impact others, and hopefully this will help you get past your 'chicken line.'  This week's intro, The Good Sons by Starflyer 59.

For more about the Wittes visit their FIRE International bio.

Fire.jpgWhat is the fire of God?  Are we ready for it?  Do we really want it?  This week we give lots of updates on the work and ministry of Fire Peru.  Steve Bremner and Ron Smith discuss the United in the Fire of God conference of August 13-15th.  We also talk about the Sponsor a Book project, the Spanish translation of Dr Michael Brown's "A Time for Holy Fire" /Es Tiempo para El Fuego Santo," and for the sake of our own personal hunger for revival, ask some questions about if we, as a body of believers are really wanting the fire of God to consume us and spread through and to the rest of the world.  Visit www.fireperu.org for more info.  This week's intro: "Fire On The Inside" by Pillar.

wordsm.gifThis week we conclude with the second part of our interview/discussion with Dima Kurovsky on being called to the workplace.  Are some people fulfilling pastoral and clergy roles who aren’t called to by God?  Is there a serious consequence when Christians ignore whatever their calling may be in lieu of  doing something else instead?  What about laziness--is it a sin?  We also have Matthias Glastra on the podcast to give an update about this year’s Fire For Life Summer School in the Netherlands.

This week's intro: "Paper Thin Hymn" by Anberlin

1000009089.jpgThis week we have the first part of a two-part interview/discussion with Dima Kurovskie, creation apologist, 'tongues googler' and friend of Fire On Your Head.  First we share some updates of life and ministry in Peru. In our discussion, we destroy the clergy/laity wall that many Christians believe exists, and lay a foundation that God has placed you where He has called you and you may have more opportunities to glorify God in a 'secular' environment than you realize. Since statistically speaking, most believers are not called to 'clergy' ministry, this series is a must listen as we felt the Lord change our discussion topic and talk about this instead.

This week's intro: "Rock the Party (Off The Hook)" by P.O.D.

christian_demon.jpgChristians and deliverance ministry: we wound up getting into it during my discussion with Ron Smith, director of Fire Peru while I interviewed him about the work down here in discussing our involvement with Derek Prince Ministries.  We also talk about the need for living holy, sowing seeds of righteousness to the Spirit versus living in sin and growing seeds of the flesh, generational curses, and the consequences of not having sin dealt with in our lives as Christians.
