  Speaking to your Mountain In Mark 11:21-26, we find an often-misinterpreted and misapplied passage about the power of our words and the faith to back them up. Specifically, Jesus tells his disciples that if they speak to a mountain, telling it to be lifted up and thrown in the sea, it will happen for them. The "Name It and Claim It" Crowd Of course, this verse gets pulled out of context by the "Name It and Claim It" prosperity gospel folks. They focus only on the part about speaking to mountains, forgetting the sandwich bread - which is having faith in God first and operating in forgiveness second. They want to "name and claim" cars, houses, and bling without any thought of delighting in and having faith in God. Missing the "Have Faith in God" Part Jesus begins this teaching by pointing back to the fig tree that he had cursed, which then withered. He tells them in verse 22 to "Have faith in God." Our faith and expectations must be gro...

  Have you ever received a revelation that continues to unfold meaning over years?  I had an experience where the Spirit revealed a particular truth that I just couldn't let go of. When it first came to me, I was excited by the insight. I started seeing hints of its meaning everywhere I looked in scripture. I would pray and meditate on it daily, taking notes as I went. For a while, it felt like everywhere I turned in the Bible this revelation stared back at me.  Going Stale After some time though, my momentum stalled. I stopped gaining new traction on its implications. I relegated the revelation to my backburner - still precious but not an active pursuit. Breakthrough!  Then suddenly, I had a breakthrough. By grace, I gained a far deeper grasp of the same revelation. With fresher eyes I saw connections that eluded me before and understood more profound layers of meaning. The renewal of insight was mind-blowing, spurring genuine life transformation. Seek God diligentl...

This post explores why we must boldly speak God’s truth despite discomfort, as obedience pleases the Lord and failure to do so robs others from receiving His keys to freedom.

The Power of Testimony: One Man's Journey from the Occult to Salvation in Jesus Christ Testimonies of faith have the power to inspire, convict, and spur spiritual growth. In this accompanying blog post for the Coffee with Conrad podcast episode featuring Thomas Dabney Tannehill's powerful testimony, we'll explore key themes surrounding his journey from occult practices and drug addiction to experiencing new life in Christ. Here is the original Facebook Live  Dabbling in the Occult Opens Doors to Darkness Like many young people, Thomas was exposed to occult practices like using Ouija boards and tarot cards from a young age. Little did he know the dangers of opening doorways to the demonic realm. The occult should be avoided by believers, as it gives the enemy a foothold (Eph. 4:27). Thomas also experienced poltergeist activity in his home growing up.  Drug Use Leads Down Destructive Paths Down the road, Thomas' involvement in Eastern religious practices, psychedelic drug...

The parables of Jesus  have captivated audiences for centuries. These simple yet profound stories are packed with spiritual wisdom and revelation. In this podcast episode, we explore how pondering the parables can unlock hidden insights to transform your spiritual walk.   Jesus used parables for several key reasons.  The vivid imagery grabs people's attention and draws them into the narrative. Parables connect on an emotional level, making complex concepts relatable. They provoke deeper reflection as Jesus challenged societal norms. Most importantly, parables are accessible to all, regardless of background. The stories resonate across culture, education level, and time.  A major benefit of parables is that they stick with you. Even if you only recall the essence, that seed can sprout revelation. Pondering parables while away from your Bible allows you to approach them with fresh eyes. Without preconceived notions, you're free to explore the truths from new angle...

Bystander syndrome is rampant in Christianity today,  leading to a diffusion of responsibility when it comes to evangelism and fulfilling the Great Commission. Research shows that 78% of people come to Christ through relationships with family and friends, not church programs. Yet many believers fall prey to excuses like "I'm too busy" or "I don't feel qualified." All followers of Jesus are called to share the gospel - not just pastors or those with the "gift" of evangelism. It's time to overcome fear and bystander syndrome to become bold witnesses for Christ! Souls hang in the balance. Key Statistics: - Only 31% of victims are helped when 5+ bystanders are present in an emergency (bystander effect) - Most Christians cite relationships as their reason for faith, not church programs - Only a few said a minister's preaching led to their salvation - If each Christian leads 1 person to Christ per year, church growth can double! Common Objections...
