Circuit Riders Podcasts

Derek Mack begins a new series on the culture of humanity at the end of the age out of Matthew 24:12. We learn that Jesus taught on an end of the age mindset that we as Christians should live in. We are challenged that in the face of lawlessness we are not to be fearful or live on the defensive, but instead live on the offensive and fight to keep our hearts on fire until Jesus’ return.

Zach Nash shares part of his testimony, including his encounter with the Holy Spirit and the moment knew he was forgiven. We are urged to personally approach the throne of God with boldness, not timidity, regardless of where we are at in life. Zach emphasizes that intimacy with God is possible because of grace and the blood of Jesus and not because of how well we perform.

Haylee, Annalisa, Yasmin and Derek have a follow up conversation on sacrificial love. Haylee shares on Amy Carmichael, a missionary whose gritty, selfless life shifted culture in India and still convicts us today. Then from Annalisa we learn about Elizabeth Elliot, who returned to share the love of Jesus with the tribe in Ecuador who martyred her husband.

As Brian looks to the life of Jesus, he identifies key traits that Christian leaders should carry. He compares leadership methods that don't work anymore and those that are needed in this hour. Brian urges us to be led by the Spirit and the Word of God in order to live the culture of the Kingdom. This podcast is from Brian's weekly Culture Shift zoom calls.

Zach continues the discussion on having a surrendered heart. We are encouraged to surrender our plans of what we think is best for ourselves in order to get what God knows is best for us.

Brian Brennt explains how surrender is essential for total freedom in our lives. We learn that we have to be willing to surrender our right to convenience, comfort, appearance, and recognition, in order for God to use us in wild ways!

Chase tells the story line of God's presence throughout the Bible. Chase explains that our highest calling is to be in the presence of God and that God wants to destroy any way we might want to hide from His presence. Chase urges us to put on our priestly robes and dwell in God's presence.

Brian Brennt discusses having courage as believers. We learn what it means to tremble in fear of the Lord over fear of man, how to walk out sacrificial love, and how to say yes to the cost of seeking His kingdom with burning zeal. We are challenged to boldly ask the Lord to bend us to His spirit and choose to be joyfully obedient to His desires for our lives.

Brian Brennt speaks on being forerunners for Christ. We learn through Circuit Rider history and examples in scripture how the simple obedience of the few can make a big impact. We are challenged to go places and do things we haven't done before and not let fear stand in our way of being a forerunner.

Derek, Yasmin, Zoe and Steph dive into the heroic lives of two historic women who embody sacrificial love. We learn more about Corrie Ten Boom, whose family put their own lives in danger to harbor Jews during the holocaust and Harriet Tubman, who was a slave that escaped to safety but then went back to lead many others to freedom. Matthew 5:43-48 and 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 summarizes how Biblical love goes beyond emotions or sentiments. It's a love that is gritty and costly, even for the sake of our enemies. We leave this discussion with a call to imitate the lives of these two inspiring women and with an impartation to see change in our generation through the way we love.

As Brian continues his series on dating and marriage, he holds a discussion panel with the Nick and Emily Brennt, Zach and Kayla Nash, and Chase and Lindy Cofer. The couples share how they ended up together, what it looks like to have fun in a marriage and the harmful effects of pornography. This podcast is from Brian's weekly Culture Shift zoom calls.

Brian Barcelona begins with an encouraging reminder that God's plan for our lives far exceeds our moments of failure. Even when we do not worship or pray, God remains constant. Brian shares different personal testimonies of salvation and inspires us with the faith of Peter and John from Acts 3 as they encounter the begger outside the gate called Beautiful. We are hit with the urgency to contend for the salvation of our friends and to preach the Gospel to those around us.

We believe that the only way to see true revival and reformation is to commit ourselves wholeheartedly to the word of God. As a community we are diving deep into the Bible to fight for fresh revelation and true transformation in us and through us! As we work our way through the Bible, we seek to impart a deep love for the word and world changing principals. This podcast features Brian Brennt focusing on the book of Ephesians.

Sammy Rodriguez preaches on love in action and commissions us as laborers into the harvest. He emphasizes Matthew 9:35-38 to encourage us that there has never been a lack of harvest, there is just a need for people willing to say yes to loving the lost. We are reminded that it is through the way we love those around us, that people will come to know God. Sammy shares the story of the woman at the well to inspire us that even when Jesus was tired he loved the person in front of him.

Derek, Yasmin, Sydney and Hope talk about being zealous for good works based on a passage out of Titus 2. They focus on the provoking example of the Clapham Sect, a community of men and women believers most known for William Wilberforce and the fight to abolish slavery in England and the UK. It was their deep friendship with Jesus and commitment to each other that led this group of believers to rise up as advocates for reform, and change the world.

Brian Barcelona addresses our personal feelings in relationship to the Gospel. He makes it clear that feelings are a gauge, not a guide and that while God made our emotions, He never intended us to be lead by them. Brian speaks about how feelings that mature into faith become foundation stones but immature feelings can be stumbling blocks. A solid foundation and lasting relationship with God must be based on faith because the Bible emphasizes that It is impossible to please God without faith.

Derek Mack preaches on the importance of God being our first love and that everything in our Christian walk should be from the overflow of that love. We are challenged to keep our ears open to what Jesus wants to say to us today. Stressing that the First and Second Commandment carry equal weight, Derek inspires us with the revelation that radically living for Jesus simply means loving Him so much that everyone knows about it.

Derek hosts Kasie, Shaina and Yasmin as they continue the Hallelujah Lassies series. Their conversation dives into the inspiring life of Kathryn Kuhlman, a wild revivalist who saw many people miraculously healed by the Holy Spirit. We are provoked by her sacrificial love, daily surrender and costly obedience.

Brian and Christy continue the series on dating and marriage by talking about important preparation for relationships. We learn about the power of agreement, joyful forgiveness and continually getting rid of pride in our lives. We are challenged to seek the Lord above any other relationship and to make sure our love for the word, worship and Jesus line up with who we are dating.
