A lot of times we want to scare people into Christianity. In this episode, I attempt to describe the feeling(s) involved with accepting Christ and allowing yourself to be led by the holy spirit. I believe that once you experience that feeling, you will never want to look away.

Sometimes in the mist of chaos, you need to quiet your souls, and grow your faith. Instead of charging ahead blindly God wants you to be still, and know who you have in your corner. Don't let your BIG problem make you forget that you have a BIGGER GOD! He says "Be stll, and know that I am God!" Blog available at : https://drministriesblog.wordpress.com/2023/07/16/be-still/

It doesn't benefit us to look to history to change our future. The benefit is to look to what we have learned from history, and to who has stood the test of time, to come to our rescue now. We are in dire need of the Saviour to heal this land. We are broken. We are divided. We are lost. In this episode, I dive into the role of our obsession with history, and finding a point that shows that our particular race or people were the dominant or chosen ones. I explore the value that the knowledge we seek actually has on our lives now. Does it truly matter if we can find a documented picture of Jesus Christ, and see the face he took when he walked this earth, and the birth certificate to match that shows his name? Are we searching for the right things? Blog also available at https://drministriesblog.wordpress.com/2023/06/08/heal-this-land/

There is a song that says, " I don't mind waiting on the Lord". So, we have to question ourselves, are we really willing to wait on God? Is there a limit to our waiting? There are many things in life, materialistic things we desire, we show great patience to obtain. Yet when it comes to the blessings God has in store for us, sometimes there is a need for things to happen right now, on our time. I dare to ask, how long are we willing to wait on God?

This my testimony of the night I almost lost my life and how God raised me up from it. I had an allergic reaction to some medicine that I had been taking for 15 years that caused swelling on my tongue and throat to where i could barely breathe. But by the Grace of God, I survived and got stronger from the experience. Hopefully my story can bless and inspire someone else.

Sometimes to get what we desire from God, we have to do as Jacob did, and wrestle that figurative angel. Don't give up! Don't let go! The blessings will come...

Growing up, we sang a song “everybody ought to know who Jesus is” Here is my first sermon in a line that I hope becomes many. 

Who are we? The line between the people that follow Christ and the ones that don't in their everyday lives has been blurred more and more by muddying the labels. I believe there is one identity that holds true and stands as a true metaphor for who we are. Are you a SOLDIER in the army of God?  Blog available for written version at: https://drministriesblog.wordpress.com/2023/01/05/a-soldier/

This podcast is dedicated to my dad. The minister, the social worker, the mechanic, the builder, the welder, the prayer warrior, the singer, the swiss army knife for God. A lot of times we wait until it's too late to tell someone we see them for who they are, but I want him to know that I see him as the loaf of bread that never ran out while feeding the multitude. The giver that never stopped giving.

It's the simplest yet most complicated question in the Christian faith. I attempt to answer this question for many that may have grown up and had or still have this question. How do we pray to God? What do we say? Do we pray like what we hear when we go to church? Is there a standard way to pray? What does the bible say?

A song is never just a song. the lyrics of a song can speak to someone in ways, your words may never be able to. I speak of the impact of songs from the first time i can remember hearing them to the way they shaped my life into the man I am today. The power in the lyrics, the music, the voice of an artist can easily be what shapes the life or changes the life of someone listening on any given day.

Perception is reality. It's a phrase that's echoed in every facet of life. it's a our lazy way of not getting to know people so we make up our own story, and sometimes it couldn't be further from the truth. The bible tells us not to judge unless we want to be judged for our own actions. Yet we ignore who we are and place judgement on people solely based on what we see and assume. But is that their reality?

I'm sure if i posed the question to people around you, they can come up with every reason that God cannot use you, but as God showed with the people he used in the bible, despite their shortcomings, there is nothing that God can't bring you out of to use you and raise you up. So, look yourself in the mirror and pose the question, "Why not me?"

God is yet still alive, yet we act like he hasn't done anything in 2000 years. We need to update his resume, tell the world what God has done for you. The bible is a great reference, a reliable text, but his reign didn't stop there. Let me elaborate...

If you ever doubt what God has done for you, sit down one day and attempt to count your blessings, by the second.
