Guest Speaker Dr Bill Hurst, Part 2: (The Life of King David) What If Mercy Is The Real Revival

A Prophetic Look At June 2026... Deliverance Us From Evil

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1747843/fan_mail/new] Something is shifting, and we don’t want you to miss the timing. We’re talking prophetic ministry with a simple, clarifying distinction: foretelling points to what’s ahead, while forth telling declares what God is doing right now. That lens keeps the focus where it belongs, on spiritual growth and a living relationship with God that reshapes how we relate to each other. Our main focus is a prophetic look at June 2026. We’re sensing an increased manifesting of the Kingdom of God, and the “significant punch” lands in the area of deliverance. We explore why deliverance is sometimes an instant breakthrough and sometimes a refining process, and why freedom isn’t just about feeling better but about the removal of evil’s influence so unity can actually form. When “me” becomes “us,” the prayer “deliver us from evil” takes on a different weight and points toward families, churches, and communities being set free together. We also connect deliverance to holiness, not as rigid rule-keeping, but as the beauty that grows when weeds are pulled and the good can finally thrive. Along the way, we touch spiritual warfare, the pressure that comes against your calling, and the practical encouragement to submit to God, resist the devil, and refuse to quit. We close with prayer and a reminder that we’d love to hear from you. Subscribe for more, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so others can find the podcast.

Strength In Weakness

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1747843/fan_mail/new] You can be faithful and still feel like you are breaking. If you are in a season where the pressure is higher than anything you expected, we are speaking encouragement straight into that place with a message that does not sugarcoat the struggle: God often demonstrates His strength most clearly when we feel weak, stretched, and out of options.  We talk about discipleship as a real-life call into the impossible, where the kingdom of God moves forward by the power of the Holy Spirit, not by our talent or sheer will. Along the way, we get honest about the daily grind of carrying your cross, including those moments when you slip into complaint and negativity. That “whine and cheese party” might feel harmless, but it can quietly block trust, joy, and spiritual growth.  We also look at the cross of Jesus Christ as the ultimate example of strength in weakness, where apparent defeat becomes resurrection power. From there, we connect the Tower of Babel to modern self-reliance and spiritual counterfeits, and we call out anything that becomes an idol between us and God’s love. The charge is clear and practical: do not quit, submit yourself to God, resist the devil, and trust the One who is faithful to bring you through.  If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Covenant With Jesus

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1747843/fan_mail/new] You can have the whole world and still feel empty. We go straight at that lie with a personal story that spans more than 50 years: a teenage encounter with Jesus that changed everything, the painful quiet that followed, and the long detour into a hard and fast life that looked like it would end in ruin. If you’ve ever thought, “I went too far,” or “I wasted my best years,” we want you to hear this clearly: God didn’t leave, and your story is not finished.  We talk about covenant relationship with Jesus as an all of life exchange, not a religious label. That includes the raw honesty of addiction, the weight of shame, and the moment God answers the cry, “I’ve created a monster,” with a shocking promise of purpose. We also share why the cross is not abstract theology to us, but personal love, and why being made clean is possible even after years of destruction.  Then we turn to a practical blueprint for Christian living and discipleship from Ephesians 5:15 to 20: be careful how you live, make the most of every opportunity, refuse drunkenness and debauchery, and be filled with the Holy Spirit with worship, gratitude, and encouragement. If you want freedom that lasts and wisdom for daily decisions, this is a passage to live in. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find it.

A Simple Practice That Changes Every Gathering

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1747843/fan_mail/new] Most of us walk into a room quietly asking, “What am I going to get out of this?” We wanted to offer a reset that’s short, direct, and practical: the next time you get together with friends, family, or other believers, plan on being a giver. We talk about what Christian generosity can actually look like in real life. Yes, sometimes it’s money. Just as often it’s a word of encouragement, a moment of prayer, or the courage to let God use you to strengthen someone through the gifts of the Spirit. The goal isn’t a one-time act. We’re aiming for a lifestyle of giving, not because we have to, but because we get to. From there, we tie generosity to discipleship and the example of Jesus. God gives, Jesus gives everything, and we’re called into that same pattern of love. We also push back on a shallow “faith equals getting stuff” mindset and name the bondage of scarcity and begging. We want abundance for a reason: so we can be free to give. Even if it starts small, it starts with a decision. We wrap with a prayer asking God for wisdom to maximize the life and provision He’s entrusted to us, so we can show the world what giving looks like.

God’s Power Shows Up When We Surrender

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1747843/fan_mail/new] Control feels like safety until it starts costing you peace. We sit with one of the most personal challenges in spiritual growth: surrender to God. Not the vague kind that sounds nice on a coffee mug, but the real kind where you hand over your plans, your “rights,” your need to be understood, and your fear of what might happen if you stop managing everything. We explore why surrender feels unnatural in a culture shaped by rugged individualism, and why Scripture points us toward covenant trust instead. Along the way we bring in Ecclesiastes and the ache many of us carry when achievement still feels empty. We talk about the kingdom of God as a lived reality marked by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit and how that shalom peace pushes back on anxiety, pressure, and lack. Then we go straight at the obstacle that stops most people cold: the fear of prolonged pain. We unpack Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from 2 Corinthians 12 and the shockingly honest promise that God’s grace is sufficient and that his power is made perfect in weakness. We also share how surrender in suffering can lead to deeper intimacy with Jesus and to a life that can carry real spiritual authority with unity, love, and endurance. If you have been asking God to take something away and nothing is moving, this will give you language, hope, and a next step.
