Think about the opportunity, responsibility, and danger associated with handling other people's money in a position of trust. Money is at least Volatile, if not charged with dark spiritual energy. You would expect Jesus to say, “Avoid money,” but he doesn’t.Support the show

Have you felt that God was calling you to do something for Him but were afraid of where the money would come from? Does your heart tell you to launch out into a radically new life of obedience but your family is holding you back, worrying how it will affect your career? Would you obey your calling if you just knew your family would have enough provision for their needs?Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

There is a special gift, perhaps one above all other gifts, that allows you to ride above the worries and cares of this world. While the world frets about money and position and supply, we have been given a gift that we can receive, unwrap, and put to work. This gift from God will liberate your life and make you a big person, a source of blessing and material help to others.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

How important are your friendships in your spiritual development? Do your friends build you to be a better person, or do they lead you to your downfall? Be careful who you'd be "tied up" with in business, club memberships, hangout friends or the highest relationship of all, our marriage partner.Support the show

Extreme circumstances call for extreme measures, but when you venture into the thought of engaging someone whose life is spiraling out of control, things can come back and hurt you even though you are sincerely trying to help. Have you ever had a friend with a problem so big that some kind of intervention seemed to be the only way to get their attention? Would you be willing to participate in an intervention?Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

It's impossible to finish the race without knowing and having this one BIG secret. You simply cannot! Today’s Thread covers 2 Corinthians Chapter 6:1-10. It's about this one single character trait you need to possess, as a believer, OR you can't even race at all. A lot of things are important, but without this one, you're out by default. You just have to have it, and it's up to you to develop it.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

Evangelism, is it a heart or head matter? Is it wrong to use an emotional appeal for a person to make peace with God? Is it our job to try to persuade or should we just deliver a rational version of the message and consider our part of the work done? Christians all over the world have many opinions on these things. Check out this episode of Thread to explore this topic as we study 2 Cor. 5.14-21Support the show

Set spiritual goals! Yes, it's a lot harder than clicking off a bucket list of experiences BUT the effort you pour into completing a spiritual goal will change your life forever. Who I am is more important than what I do, but doing is usually what gets me there. Life responds to action and our actions need to be focused on pre-selected targets and ambitions.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

If you ask people in church if they believe in heaven and believe that it's the best life possible, they’d all say yes. Now add a second question, “Would you go there right now if you could?” If I promised you that if you stood at the altar in church and prayed real loud, “OH Father, please let me die now and go to you!” you’d drop dead where you stood and enter heaven would you pray it? We are very, very attached to this physical world and to life in the body.And this keeps us from experiencing the full freedom we could know in Christ.

Fitting in. Being accepted by others. These are key social drives that can hinder us in our efforts to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. He was notoriously out of sync with culture, family, and friends in His day. Truth sets you free but it also calls you to live out of response to what you now know is true. The disciple is a student of truth and truth is an opportunity to enter the freedom of the mind. It's up to us to take it.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

Here's the truth: If God is going to use you as a faithful servant He WILL trust with any mission, but, He’s going to have to work on you. We can’t serve God on our own terms. There is so much contrary stuff inside us that has to be worked out. We need to go through "deep processing" with God so that we can truly represent Him faithfully in the world.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

How to be strong is a common question among men. Sometimes in life you are in survival mode where your success relies on keeping your focus trained on the present moment and just getting through that tough time. Most of the battle is mental. We are under spiritual attack from the outside and then there's all our internal dialog inside our head.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

This episode is about the two totally opposite ways the Bible gets used in ministry. It's the result of two opposing goals set by people who minister God’s word to others. One of these paths unlocks people as God's truth pierces the darkness in their mind. Truth sets them free and they begin to experience transformation through hearing the word of God.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

Have you ever known of a person whose presence so changed the room that if they entered it you would turn off the television and stop talking to your friends because you would want to be completely engaged with them?

Today’s lesson covers 1:23-2:11 where we return to the sacred nature of all relationships and even more so in the body of Christ. Let me ask you right now to pull up in your memory, your best relational moment, a time in your life when you had a relationship that was life-giving and sacred. Doing life together is such an essential core Kingdom of God concept.Support the show

One of the most unique concepts in the world of religion is the Christian notion that we can have a personal relationship with the God who created the world. Jesus went as far as to say that we can call God, "Papa" or "Daddy" and that He wants a relationship that familiar with us. This episode of Thread is focused on what goes into the establishment and growth of a true relationship that not only makes our lives while but even blesses God. Powerful encouragement from the Apostle Paul as we go deeper into the study of 2 Corinthians, the book about "the ministry."Play EpisodeSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)
