Being 'Cooky' Prophetic is Odd!  Being "cooky prophetic" is a term that may seem odd to many, but it holds a profound meaning. It refers to the eccentric, unconventional, and often bewildering behavior exhibited by prophets. This behavior, while seemingly bizarre, often carries a divine message or prophecy.  Biblical Examples of "Cooky Prophetic" Behavior The Bible is replete with instances of prophets behaving in ways that would be considered "cooky" by modern standards. Yet, these actions were often divinely inspired and served a greater purpose. Isaiah's Nakedness Take Isaiah, for instance. In Isaiah 20:2-3 (KJV), it is written, "At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egyp...

Radical Discipleship: Rediscovering the Transformative Power of Following Jesus What did Jesus Really mean when He said "Make Disciples"? As I delved into researching the stark differences between first-century discipleship and our modern practices, I was struck by how far we've drifted from Jesus' original intent. In this podcast, I explore what it truly meant to be a disciple in Jesus' time and how we can recapture that radical, life-altering commitment today. In first-century Israel, being a disciple of a rabbi was a high calling that required complete dedication. Disciples would leave everything behind—family, possessions, and their former way of life—to follow their rabbi closely, learning to imitate him in every way. The goal was not merely to acquire knowledge but to become a living embodiment of the rabbi's teachings and character. Contrast this with today's discipleship, which often emphasizes comfort, personal fulfillment, and classroom-style lea...

Unlocking Mountain-Moving Faith We serve a big God who wants to do big things through His people. But too often, we get stuck playing small because we let doubt and unbelief creep in. In my recent podcast " Speaking to Your Mountain, " we dug into Mark 11 where Jesus tells His disciples to have faith in God and speak to their mountains. This isn't some name-it-and-claim-it nonsense either. Jesus is calling us to an authentic life of kingdom dominion and authority. See, the world tries to manifest things through mental gymnastics and "laws of attraction." But we don't have to pour from an empty cup. We have the living God inside of us! When we nurture our relationship with the Lord and stay planted in His Word, mountain-moving faith becomes second nature. But there's a catch - Jesus makes it crystal clear that unforgiveness will cut the power line. We can't expect to walk in supernatural authority while harboring offense, anger or resentment in our he...

A Biblical Approach to Prophetic Discernment As Christians with a deep interest in the prophetic realm, it can be all too easy to get swept up in the hype and speculation that often surrounds major celestial events or geopolitical shifts. From failed rapture predictions to sensational claims about the "Shemitah" cycle, the modern Church has far too often traded genuine spiritual insight for emotionally-charged narratives that appeal to our desire to know the future. Conrad tackles this critical issue head-on, drawing a clear distinction between the characteristics of true biblical prophecy and the logical fallacies underlying so many contemporary prophetic claims. By examining examples like Gideon, Jeremiah, and Samuel, he provides a robust framework for developing the spiritual discernment needed to navigate this complex landscape. One of the key lessons Conrad emphasizes is the importance of avoiding the trap of "prophecy by hindsight." Far too often, self-proclai...

Prophetic Warning to America In a shocking incident on March 26th, 2024, the cargo ship "Dali" lost propulsion and crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in a catastrophic collision. But this event was more than just a maritime accident - it carried profound prophetic implications that the American church cannot ignore.  The Controversial UN Abstention Just hours prior, the United States took the unprecedented step of abstaining from a United Nations vote calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This marked the first time in history that America refused to stand with its longtime ally Israel, appearing to "turn its back" on the nation. The Prophetic Artist: Dali Astonishingly, the name of the ship itself seems linked to famous surrealist painter Salvador Dali, whose works provide eerie foreshadowing of America's spiritual state: Dali's 1959 work "The Discovery of America" depicts Columbus's arrival, but with clear Christian imagery ...

  Reap a Harvest of Faith: Become a Co-Laborer with God Have you ever felt a yearning to make a real difference in the world? That feeling of wanting your life to count for something bigger? You're not alone. Millions of people share that same desire, and the good news is, there's a powerful way to turn that yearning into a fulfilling reality. In this episode of Coffee with Conrad, we dive deep into the concept of sowing the Word of God and reaping a harvest of faith. Conrad Rocks, your host, explains how you can become a co-laborer with God, partnering with the divine to spread the message of love and hope. Imagine the Word of God as a seed, bursting with potential.  Just like a seed needs fertile ground to grow, God's word needs receptive hearts to take root and flourish. As Christians, we are entrusted with the incredible opportunity to sow these seeds, to share the Gospel with others, and witness the transformative power of faith. The podcast explores the concept o...

Living a Life of Kingdom Purpose  Do you ever feel like you're just spinning plates?  Rushing from one task to another, putting out fires, yet not moving closer to your kingdom calling? As followers of Christ, we're commissioned to bear fruit and make disciples. Yet it's so easy to get caught up in busyness rather than purposeful building of God's kingdom.  In the podcast "From Spinning Plates to Sowing Seeds," Conrad challenges us to shift from a mentality of checking tasks off a list to one focused on leaving a legacy. What if we evaluated our activities not based on urgency but rather their capacity to nurture our faith and serve others?   Jesus' parable of the sower illustrates that seeds landing on good soil multiply exponentially. As Conrad explains, "We need to find receptive hearts to sow the seed of the gospel into." This begins with building relationships, creating safe spaces for spiritual conversations to unfold. Rather than a transa...
