 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?

 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.

 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.

 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.

 Join David Edwards and Steve Bremner for the second part of our series on the Rapture, as we attempt to plow through numerous problematic passages for the pre-tribulation view.
Does the pre-tribulational view put many carts before the horse? Are the elect mentioned in the book of Revelation a different elect than the rest of the New Testament? Are we as believers supposed to ignore the NT warnings about what will happen in the tribulation period--is it relevant to us or just to the 'end time saints'? Join us as--though light-hearted at times--we get into some serious issues with this view, and hopefully challenge a re-examination of it in favor something else. We don't cover all that we could, but hopefully give you some more food for thought. This week's intro: Extreme Days by TobyMac

 This week we're privileged to have back on the podcast author and speaker S.J. Hill, and world traveler Gregg Montella for some serious sacred cow killing.
What is the difference between fearing God and being afraid of Him? Do accountability relationships/groups really produce desired results, such as holiness? What does the Bible really mean when it teaches about 'death to self'?

 Finally, a new episode is up! It's been a crazy summer--or winter here in Peru! We have S.J. Hill today talking about Romans 14 and First Corinthians 9--not judging one another over personal preferences in our walks with God, AND giving up things when we know we're a stumbling block to others. S.J. shares some humorous and yet sad examples of what some of our 'convictions' do to others when we put them on others when the Holy Spirit is not dealing with them in that area. What is the difference between a conviction and a preference? How do we have grace with and for others who may not share our personal convictions? All in all, an important topic, and a must listen.

 In this interview with Bryan Purtle we talk about the work he’s doing in Kansas with Tent of David Fellowship. We discuss the foundational role of apostles in the Church, compared to the title of 'apostle' used for other purposes. Are apostles the CEOs of church networks, ‘at the top of the church structure’ or is there something we’re missing when we look at this issue of apostolic fathering and fellowship in modern Christendom?

 Christians 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.
