Rooted by the Stream with Dr. Pam Morrison

Discipleship Series: What is the Goodness of God?

Have you ever blamed God for things that have happened to you?  Been angry with God?  That is something that happens often with people if they haven't thought a lot about the causes of events.  Something bad happens and they immediately, or even for a long time, believe that God did it.  He was out to get them. But when we really stop to consider the causes of events, when we mature in our faith, we come to realize that we're responsible some of the time for bad things happening.  We make bad choices. Or, others may have sinned against us and made bad things happen to us or our loved ones. And finally, if we study the Bible, we'll see that a description of satan and evil spirits is given and that is yet another cause for trouble coming to us.  There is a supernatural realm of evil which we have to deal with and acknowledge as a cause for bad events. When we grow up spiritually and grow up in our thinking, we become able to see that God is our help, "our refuge and strength, and ever present help in  times of trouble." Psalm 46:1. He is there for us to bring deliverance out of all our troubles.  Psalm 34:6 To gain greater understanding about this go to this article: Is God Controlling All Things Good and Evil That Happen To Us?  You can find it  [https://www.pammorrisonministries.com/blog/is-god-controlling-all-things]here [https://www.pammorrisonministries.com/blog/is-god-controlling-all-things].

What is the Grace of God? (Discipleship Series)

Grace is a word that people feel they understand, but by their words and actions, it is often clear that they don't.  You see them straining and striving for God's approval.  Or, you see them feeling too unworthy to be loved or needed by God.  Then there is the disapproval and disdain Believers may have for others because of their past lives. Grace is so important to understand and to live out of when you follow Christ.  Therefore, it's a starting place when you are trying to become a more established disciple.  You have to understand how God and the Kingdom of God operate.  It's "Grace City." Using Mark 5:1-20 as a foundational text, Dr. Pam talks about God's amazing grace.

Faith Unshakeable: The Fruit of Becoming a Disciple with Deep Roots

What makes a person able to cling to their faith even when faced with danger and death? In this episode the topic of having "faith unshakeable" is reflected upon. Having visited the Namugongo museum in the country of Uganda, the site of the death of 25 Christian martyrs, Dr. Pam Morrison was deeply moved.  The question arises with such a witness, how did they do it?  These young men were brutally treated, then murdered because they would not give up their faith in Jesus.  What equips a believer to be so strong and so brave? Three things are offered in this episode of Rooted by the Stream as essential to developing this level of mature faith.  In this episode, Dr. Pam lets the listeners know that she will continue to teach on discipleship for the next few months.  This episode is offered as an introduction.  The teachings will begin September 6, 2023 and will be in both blog and podcast format for the next few months. Many topics will be covered from grace, healed thinking, marriage and singleness,  forgiveness, having a relationship with the Holy Spirit and much more.

Romans 10:17 WHY Does Faith Come by Hearing?

Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing.  There seems to be real importance to speaking words from the Bible out loud, declaring them over our lives, for changing what happens in our lives. Hearing the Word of God builds faith in us and faith is what is needed by God to work with us and through us. Faith building teachings from Kenneth Hagin are mentioned in this episode.  May you find transformation and healing in your life and thinking.

America and the First Great Awakening with Dr. Eddie Hyatt

Was America founded in 1619 with the importation of the first slaves?  Is it a hopelessly racist country? This is what the creators of the New York Times 1619 project would have you believe.   Certainly, slavery is a huge blight on America's past, but are they right, that 1619 was our true beginning not 1776? My guest in this podcast, Dr. Eddie Hyatt, would argue that neither date is actually the moment in which our national character was forged.  A Church historian and revival scholar, Eddie says the actual year that would truly shape the American heart and destiny was 1726.  It is the year of the beginning of the First Great Awakening in America. Out of this spiritual revival that swept through the 13 colonies, two things happened - 1) the vision for the nation and its founding documents was greatly touched and shaped by God, and 2) the founders knew they would have to abolish slavery in response to God. Dr. Hyatt has written a book, 1726: The Year that Defined America.  This is an excellent, well-researched, highly acclaimed book about the founding of America, the vision many had for its missionary purpose, and about the faith of the founding fathers.  It is uplifting and hopeful in a time when many are denigrating America.  It is also a portrayal of American history that is increasingly being left out of our textbooks. Dr. Hyatt has launched the 1726 Project in an effort to spread the truth about America's history.  To reach Dr. Hyatt to have him present three sessions based on his book in your church, school, business, or organization, contact him at DrEddieHyatt@gmail.com.
