Conrad Rocks | Spiritual Warfare, Supernatural Faith & Kingdom Living

I remember the heat of the Texas sun back in 2014. We were at Jesus Jam, and the air was thick with the kind of humidity that makes you feel like you’re breathing through a wet towel. In the middle of that crowd, I saw a man who looked like he had been through the fire and come out refined. His name was Acie Burleson. He wasn't just there to listen to music or socialize; he was there with a cross. At the time, I didn't fully realize the depth of the calling on this man’s life. We’ve all seen people carrying crosses on the side of the road, and sometimes our carnal minds want to dismiss it as a gimmick or just "something nice" to do. But when the Holy Spirit is moving, nothing is just a gimmick. Everything has a purpose in God's divine geography. Have you ever felt like your walk with Jesus was missing that spark of supernatural adventure? Maybe you’re tired of the "business as usual" church routine and you’re hungry for a relationship with the biblica...

I remember sitting in my living room one morning, the light just beginning to filter through the blinds, and I was going through my daily Bible reading with my wife, Susan. We were just quietly moving through the Word, but then, something hit me. It wasn't just a thought; it was like the Spirit of Truth started sewing together a tapestry of Scripture right in front of my eyes. A panorama of doctrine began to unfold, specifically regarding the power of what we say and why we say it. Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of negative circumstances? You pray, you try to have faith, but it seems like your life is moving in a direction you never intended. You might be struggling with health issues, financial lack, or even spiritual attacks like night terrors, wondering why the breakthrough isn't coming. It’s a frustrating place to be, feeling like a victim of your own environment. The truth is, many of us are unknowingly "speaking things into existence" every s...

Have you ever felt like you were pushing a basketball under the water, using every ounce of your strength just to keep something submerged? That is exactly what it felt like for years as I tried to suppress the voice of God in my life. I was chasing the American Dream with a vengeance, fueled by a bruised ego and a desperate need for recognition. I thought that if I could just make enough money, if I could just reach the top of the mountain, I would finally be "somebody." But here is the problem: the more I gained of the world, the more I lost of my soul. I was serving Mammon—the spirit of riches and greed—and it was eating me alive like a cancer. You might be in that same spot right now. Maybe you're grinding sixty hours a week, looking at your bank account, and wondering why you still feel so empty. Or perhaps you feel God calling you to step out in faith, but the fear of losing your "security" keeps you locked in a cubicle. I’ve been there. I’ve lived in th...

  I remember sitting in my car in Jackson, Mississippi, my head resting heavy on the steering wheel. The humidity was thick enough to wear, and my spirit felt even heavier. I had been out in the park all day, trying to "do ministry" for Jesus, but everything felt like a grind. Have you ever been there? You’re doing the right things, saying the right words, but inside, you feel like you’re just hitting a brick wall. I was trying to force the Gospel on people in my own strength, and I was getting those "checks" in my spirit—that internal alarm that tells you you’re operating in the flesh instead of the flow. The pain point many of us face is that we treat our walk with God like a textbook study. we think if we memorize enough apologetic arguments or follow a rigid 10-step plan for evangelism, we’ll see the "results" we read about in the Book of Acts. But the truth is, the Kingdom of God isn't a classroom; it's a relationship. When we rely solely on ...

  The Sound of Snapping Metal and Silent Churches Imagine you are an eight-year-old boy, sitting alone, just trying to make sense of a world that already feels a bit more "crowded" than adults say it is. I remember sitting there when a voice, clear as a bell, whispered to my mind, "Look at the kickstand on your dad's bike." I turned my head, fixing my eyes on that heavy piece of metal. As I stared, I heard a sharp crack , and that metal kickstand snapped right in half, falling to the pavement. I was stunned. I ran inside, my heart racing, yelling for my family to come see. I told them exactly what happened—that a voice told me to look and then the metal broke. Do you know what they did? They didn't believe me. They thought I had somehow broken it myself and was making up a wild story to cover my tracks. That is the first pain point so many of us experience: the supernatural is manifesting all around us, but the people we trust most—often including our lead...

Recap for #TeamJesus Susan and I went to Texas for vacation and came back raring to do some ministry. Patty came over and we made goodie bags for the homeless. Patty brought a lot of peanut butter and Jelly so we made a bunch of sandwiches to give out. Doug and Joseph came over and we fellowshipped. We then prayed about where to go. The Lord directed us to the Biloxi lighthouse and the bus station. We stumbled upon a nice gentleman named Curtis. He had been attacked recently by a man with a baseball bat. His back was broken. We prayed for healing and gave him a goodie bag. He was really nice, and told us a joke about Forrest Gump going to heaven. Please pray for Curtis. He is really having a rough time of it. The homeless people can be brutal to each other. If you remember, there was a man that was attacked by a machete in Pascagoula. We got him a tent because he had to sleep outside in the cold. Apparently, there is a man that is attacking homeless ...

You know, I have a passion for you to have a spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, and lately, the Lord has been dealing with me about the very act of thinking itself. Have you ever stopped to think about your thinking? It sounds like a tongue twister, but it is perhaps the most vital skill in the believer's arsenal. We are living in a time where the world is desperate to do your thinking for you. If you aren't careful, you’ll find yourself moving through life on a script written by someone who doesn't have your soul’s best interest at heart. I remember recently posting a question on Facebook that ruffled a few feathers. I asked, "Do you think Adam had a photographic memory before the Fall?" It sounds like a "crazy Conrad" question, doesn't it? But pay attention now, because there is a rock of revelation hidden in that inquiry. Most of us spend our lives struggling to remember where we put our car keys or what we walked into the kitchen for...
