Will you be the mouth of Billy Graham
After the passing of Rev. Billy Graham, God gave one of our listeners and members, Cheryl-Ann Needham, a vision about evangelism to share with the world. In today's message, she shares with us this very timely and important vision. Following her message, I provide an interpretation of her vision to help us apply it through our calling, so we can become an evangelistic force for God.
When the stress of financial pressure is on (don't do anything) first pray then do and praise
As entrepreneurs, we are internally wired to solve problems. So when we are faced with the stress of financial pressures, we jump into action and try everything we know to make more money. However, this is a recipe for disaster, and it just increases the stress. Instead of acting, we should first pray, then do and praise. Take a listen.
An inconvenient truth about slavery, racism and Christianity
Unfortunately, the United States of America has an inconvenient truth it needs to come to terms with—Christianity was used to justify slavery and promote racism. This dark seed is embed in the DNA of American culture and has caused (and still is causing) a fracture in the body of Christ. In today's message, we are exploring this concept and discussing ways to reduce its effect. Take a listen.
The love of money trap in entrepreneurship
According to the Bible, the one thing that opens the door to all evil is the love of money. Now, most people think that this sin can only be committed by people with money. However, this is far from the truth. The love of money can be committed by anyone, believer or nonbeliever, and those involved in entrepreneurial pursuits need to be more careful than others not to fall into the love of money trap. Take a listen to learn more about this concept.
Decisions are yours to make
We find ourselves feeling powerless because we don't realize who we are in Christ and that God has given us the power of decision. And with this power comes great responsibility, but it is our power to use. For example, many women in abusive marriages look to pastors and Bible teachers to answer the question, "Should I get a divorce or should I stay?" And many women get answers that they find unsatisfactory in either direction, and they are plunged into a feeling of powerlessness. Or maybe you are in a job that you hate, and you want to quit your job and start a business. But others are telling you to be responsible and not quit. Or perhaps you are called to the ministry, and your church leadership disagrees with you or doesn't notice your ministry call. Yes, seek counsel from a pastor and trusted advisors, but at the end of the day, the decision (right or wrong) in any area of your life is yours to make.
How to leave a church honorably
Research shows that two to three million churchgoers leave their church every year. Most leave because of burn out or because they were hurt in someway by their church. With with these statistics in mind, in today's message, I am addressing the reality that so many Christians are contemplating leaving a church.
Where do you fit in the Body of Christ
Everyone has a place in the Body of Christ. However, to know where you fit, you need to understand how the Body of Christ functions. In today's message, I present a parable (analogy) that paints a picture of the Body of Christ to help you see how it works. Take a listen.
Unauthorized projects will stress you out
Just because you can do it or it looks profitable or seems helpful doesn't mean you should do it. The time God has given you on earth is supposed to be filled with projects commissioned by God. When you involve yourself in unauthorized projects (however good they may be), you will stress yourself out because you will be doing it without God.
Remove unbelieving people from your circle of influence
The vision that God has given to you requires faith to achieve. However, if you have people in your circle of influence who are casting doubt over your vision, either in words or actions, their unbelief will contaminate your faith. When this happens, your once strong faith becomes ineffective and your vision fails. You need to remove unbelieving people from your circle of influence in order to avoid this scenario, so you can achieve success in your vision and receive all the things for which you are believing in God for. Listen to today's podcast to learn more about this concept.
Stop being Sick
Because we live in a world where people often get sick and sometimes die from those sicknesses, we are conditioned to accept being sick. However, sickness is not something we have to accept; we can choose not to be sick. This is important because sickness not only weekends your body, but your mind as well, which stops the faith you need to succeed in your calling. Listen to today's message to learn more about this important concept.
Three type of tithes mentioned in the Bible
Christians debate back and forth over tithing. If we are not careful, we can get confused in the barrage of scripture being thrown at each side of the argument. Even though tithing is highly contested, God placed the concept of tithing in the Bible for a reason — not to argue over it but to learn from it. In today's message, let's travel back into the Old Testament to learn about the three different types of tithes and discover their lessons for us believers under the new covenant of grace.
Your way causes unnecessary delays and collateral damage
Your way is any way that is planned and implemented without the counsel of God. Most times you have good intentions, because you are walking in God's calling for your life, so it seems like you are in God's will. However, no matter how great your intentions, your way can lead to unnecessary delays and collateral damage to your marriage, friendships, followers, finances, and/or health. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.
Healing is instant but faith is a process
Divine healing is not a reward for serving God or living a holy life. Instead, it is a basic benefit of every believer that is designed to be accessed instantly with your faith. However, if we just simply look around, we notice that some people receive divine healing quickly, for others it comes a bit slower, and for many healing doesn't come at all. Why is this the case? Because obtaining faith for healing is a process. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.
Was this God's idea or mine?
I am wondering if the having a podcast in the feed everyday was God's idea or my idea. Listen to this quick message as I talk through this.
Do not allow time to stress you out | CFE20180123
As you are implementing the vision God has given you, it can be tempting to believe that you need more time than you currently have to work on your calling. So you start stealing time from your family, friends, and other areas of your life, thinking that if you have more time, you are more likely to succeed in your calling. Well, this scenario will create unnecessary stress in your life. Don't fall into this stress trap because you actually don't need more time. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.

Jesus had to use Faith to achieve His calling | CFE 20180110
Jesus' calling was to die on the cross and go to hell so we could be saved. We often assume that this was easy to do because, after all, Jesus is the son of God. However, this is far from the truth.
