The Frank Damazio Leadership Podcast

This is a message with biblical content that builds a biblical perspective, with a biblical promise and a biblical result. It might cause the natural mind to simply say, “unreasonable, it doesn’t make sense at all.” Please give me a chance to lead you into a life-changing truth that will lift your spirit and bless you. This is no time believers to go into bunkers, no time to wail and moan over dark circumstance. This is a time to step up and believe God’s word is true and He is ready to work on your behalf.Stepping up is my responsibility and stepping in is God’s responsibility. God can and will intervene, which means I should expect a turn-around, through God stepping in and exerting influence upon my circumstance by opening up new opportunities to see miracles and divine provision. God seeks to appear suddenly, step in powerfully, and interrupt my circumstances. Divine intervention for my life and finances. The context of a person stepping up for this message is Gen. 26 and the person is Isaac. We can follow his example in hard times.

There's all kinds of pressures that come upon those building the church and extending the kingdom of God, no matter what position or responsibility you have. Let's dive into Nehemiah and look at what it means to be a leader who doesn't quit. 

Part Three: Revivals Past & present defines revival and examines the first great awakening in USA with the revivalist that led revivals and ingredients of revival.

Part 2: Spiritual Awakenings are seen both in Biblical History and Church History as a specific times when God used chosen leaders to initiate Spiritual Awakenings preparing for widespread revival.

Part One: A historical podcast on the plagues of the 13th century that led to the Renaissance of the 14th-15th century. The flawed response of the dead church and poor theology cause a great falling away that opened door to new message of the reformation. 

Hope is essential to our faith, we take a look at the life of Jeremiah and his perspective after he lost everything. "But there’s one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope: God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out. his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left." 

Aligning our lives with God's blessing, grace and favor positions us for wide open doors of divine possibilities! Recorded at The Rose Church in Portland Oregon.

You can't live your whole life on other people's knowledge and content, the bottom line is that you need to have some discipline in growing your own faith, and getting Bible knowledge for yourself.

Moving Mountains, this is faith building and confidence building for every person listening, because we all have mountains or will confront mountains in due seasons in our life. We know God is the mountain mover and we will always face mountains in our lifetime that we must move in order to fulfill our God fulfilled destiny. Let’s talk about how do you get down that path that God has for you, have confidence in God, and face your mountain. No one can move mountains for you, you have to move your own mountains with your own relationship with God.

It seems to me we could use an upgrade in our thinking about the preaching of the gospel.We have a very academic and organized gospel and church in America: we have the best worship teams, the best sound systems, the best buildings, yet, church growth has plateaued. America is one of the only countries that does not really have a surge in church growth in comparison to the revival that's taking place in other countries in the world. I'm asking you to lean in to and maybe think with me about how to bring the Supernatural back into our churches.
