The Leader’s Notebook with Dr. Mark Rutland

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook, I share one of the most pivotal moments of my life—a story of how the Holy Spirit broke through years of resistance, depression, and theological misunderstanding to transform my ministry, my marriage, and my heart. I take you back to December 1975, when I reluctantly attended a Methodist pastors’ conference that I was certain would be a waste of time. Instead, I encountered God in a way I could never have planned. Through unexpected conversations, a prophetic word, and the gentle prayer of a pastor who simply said, “I love you,” I experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit—and with it, a new joy, power, and purpose that changed everything. My prayer is that you, too, will open your heart to the fullness of what God wants to do in your life. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Authentic Christianity(00:05:56) - Simon Peter(00:12:30) - The theology of the Holy Spirit profoundly impacted my ministry(00:21:18) - One of the Martyrdoms(00:27:46) - The Madness of Methodist Preachers(00:33:16) - Paul Wilkerson(00:41:02) - One of my closest friends left the Methodist Church one Sunday(00:47:41) - Receive the Holy Spirit(00:54:35) - An Old Woman Gets the Holy Ghost(00:57:56) - The Leader's Notebook

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook, I explore what it means to have not just a single Pentecost, but “Pentecosts after Pentecost.” Many Christians live as though the outpouring in Acts 2 was a one-time event for the church, but the book of Acts—and my own experience—tell a different story. From Jerusalem to Samaria to Ephesus, believers who were already saved and baptized still needed the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit to live boldly, love deeply, and endure joyfully. I share how this gift isn’t about wind, fire, or a cookie-cutter experience, but about the ongoing breath of God filling us again and again for the life we face today. Whether you’ve received Him before or never even considered it, I invite you to lean in, get hungry, and be ready for a fresh outpouring. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:24) - Prayer of Faith in the Spirit(00:04:01) - Pentecosts: Real Life in the Spirit(00:12:00) - The Experience of Pentecost(00:17:37) - The Essential Experience of Pentecost(00:25:13) - Receive the Holy Spirit at Pentecost(00:30:05) - Be Being Flooded With the Holy Spirit(00:32:50) - Have You Received the Holy Spirit?

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook, I explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our relationships—marriage, family, work—through one powerful principle: mutual submission. Too often, Ephesians 5:22 gets pulled out like a rulebook verse, stripped of its context. But Paul’s real key is found just before it—“Submit to one another in the fear of God.” I share some humorous and real-life stories (including Braves baseball, a kitchen standoff, and a priceless vase) to show how Spirit-filled living is not about control, but about giving. Whether it’s a husband laying down his desires, a wife responding with grace, a parent leading with tenderness, or an employee working with integrity, the essence is the same—choosing to outgive each other. When we live this way, the Holy Spirit fills our homes, heals our wounds, and draws us closer together. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Power of the Holy Spirit in Family Life(00:01:27) - Ephesians 5:18(00:08:54) - Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands as unto the Lord(00:14:05) - Submission in the Bible(00:19:44) - The Appeal of Looking At Your Husband(00:22:33) - The Real Deal(00:28:28) - Give generously, not arrogantly

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook, I share one of my favorite stories from the book of Acts—a challenge to every believer to “get off the porch” and follow the Holy Spirit into unexpected places. From Philip’s revival in Samaria to his lonely walk down a desert road, we see how God sometimes moves us from moments of great success into situations that make no sense at the time—because the miracle is waiting at the end of the road. I also tell a personal story from my early ministry days in Mexico, when I thought I knew where God was sending me, only to hear Him clearly say, “Go home.” This message will encourage you to obey first, trust God’s plan, and step into the adventure He has for you. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - leaders notebook(00:07:30) - The Persecution of Jesus(00:12:17) - Wonders of Mexico(00:20:07) - Philip the Pharisee vs. God(00:20:49) - God's call to be a missionary in Mexico(00:27:13) - The Message of Philip the Ethiopian

When the Holy Spirit fills your life, fear has to go. In Acts 4, Peter and John didn’t shrink back—they stood before the Sanhedrin with courage, prayed for even greater boldness, and lived with open-handed generosity. That’s the life I believe God is calling us to live. In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook, I share how bold faith changes the atmosphere—whether it’s a college student witnessing to a Muslim colonel in Nigeria or a believer releasing possessions for God’s glory. I’m inviting you to pray for the Spirit to shake your life free from fear, fill you with courage, and release you into the joy of generous living. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - A Spirit-filled Church(00:02:47) - Acts 4, Prayer(00:07:25) - Anointing with the Holy Spirit(00:08:58) - What are the fundamental characteristics of a Spirit-filled Church?(00:14:55) - Prayer for Healing From Fear and intimidation(00:16:39) - Prayer for Boldness(00:19:08) - Spiritual Fillers(00:20:19) - God Will Bless You Financially(00:25:44) - A Personal Tip for You(00:26:20) - What Could God Ask You for Tonight That You Would Just Say No(00:31:36) - Leader's Notebook

Dr. Mark Rutland shares how to move beyond theoretical Christianity into Spirit-filled living. Drawing from Ephesians 4, he shows how bitterness and gossip grieve the Holy Spirit—and how real faith is lived out through grace, forgiveness, and healing.

In this powerful nine-part series on The Leader’s Notebook with Dr. Mark Rutland, we explore real life in the Holy Spirit—not as a theological concept but as a practical way of living. Dr. Rutland dives into what it means to be Spirit-filled in everyday life: in how we think, speak, relate, and lead. Spirit-filled Christianity is not reserved for a platform or a moment—it’s the transforming power of Christ working through His people in every context. These episodes will inspire you to walk in healing, power, and boldness, and to live the Spirit-filled life you were meant for. This message focuses on the Spirit-filled Church as a Jesus community.

Spirit-filled Christianity is not reserved for a platform or a moment—it’s the transforming power of Christ working through His people in every context. These episodes will inspire you to walk in healing, power, and boldness, and to live the Spirit-filled life you were meant for. In this opening message, Dr. Rutland teaches that healing is not just something Jesus does — it’s something that flows from Him into His people. A Spirit-filled church is a healing community, and healing is a mark of the Holy Spirit’s presence.

In this powerful sermon, Dr. Mark Rutland unpacks Joshua’s command to “sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you,” showing how every new step in life and ministry requires us to clean out old mindsets, leave behind the comfort of the familiar, and boldly trust God for the miraculous. Through personal stories and vivid examples, Dr. Rutland challenges us to stop settling for spiritual survival — just living off yesterday’s manna — and instead wade out in faith, believing that God’s presence goes before us and that He still delights to do wonders among His people.

In the final part of our Judges series, Dr. Mark Rutland explores the spiritual and national confusion that marked Israel’s darkest days. From Micah’s household idols to the horrifying story of a Levite and his concubine, these chapters reveal a people who had lost their distinct identity as God’s own. Yet even amid chaos and civil war, God’s plan was still unfolding—leading through Ruth and Boaz to David, and ultimately to Jesus. There may have been no king in Israel, but there was always a King in Heaven.

In part four of our Judges series, Dr. Mark Rutland returns to dive deeper into Gideon’s story—his famous fleece, and the gold ephod that became an idol. Dr. Rutland also unpacks the tragic vow of Jephthah and the flawed strength of Samson, reminding us that even in the chaos of Israel’s judges, God remained the God of mercy, grace, and supernatural victory.

In part three of our Judges series, Dr. Mark Rutland returns to highlight two of the most well-known judges in Israel’s history: Deborah and Gideon. From a prophetic leader whose wisdom was as sharp as it was sweet, to a reluctant warrior called to tear down idols and lead a shrinking army to victory, their stories reveal God’s power at work through surprising people and unconventional strategies.

In part two of our Judges series, Dr. Mark Rutland explores Israel’s first four judges—Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, and Deborah. One was empowered by the Spirit of the Lord, one was left-handed, one fought with an ox goad, and one was a woman. Their stories remind us that God uses unexpected people to do unforgettable things.

In this opening episode of a five-part series on the Book of Judges, Travis Rutland steps in as a guest speaker for Dr. Mark Rutland to introduce the historical and spiritual context of this powerful Old Testament book. From the leadership transition after Moses and Joshua to the tribes’ failure to drive out the pagan tribes in the Promised Land, Travis walks through the foundational themes that lead to the rise of the judges. This episode lays essential groundwork for understanding the leadership, cycles of disobedience, and divine intervention that define the rest of the book.

In this powerful message, Dr. Mark Rutland explores the dynamic tension between spiritual authority and earthly power. Drawing from Scripture and historical examples, he examines how God raises up prophetic voices to confront, advise, and sometimes challenge leaders. This sermon is a compelling reminder that God still speaks—often through unexpected messengers—to shape the destiny of nations and the hearts of those in charge.

In this powerful Memorial Day message, Dr. Mark Rutland explores The Mystery of Communion through the lens of Matthew 26:26-30—the moment Jesus established a new covenant at the Last Supper. With deep reverence, Dr. Rutland unpacks how Holy Communion is far more than a ritual. It is a sacred act where the Holy Spirit meets us with grace, healing, and divine presence. From the Hebrew roots of worship through Psalm 136 to the sobering weight of Christ’s words—“This is My body...This is My blood”—this episode challenges us to approach the Communion table with awe, repentance, and faith. Communion isn’t just symbolic; it is supernatural. As we partake, God ministers grace to the deepest places in our lives. It’s not only remembrance—it’s renewal.

In this powerful sermon from 1 Kings 18, Dr. Mark Rutland explores the dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel. Fire falls from heaven, consuming the soaked altar and proving once and for all who the true God is. But this isn’t just history—it’s a prophetic picture. The fire of God represents the Holy Spirit, who purifies, sanctifies, and calls us to holiness. Then comes the rain—a sign of God’s blessing—but only after the fire has come first. In this message, Dr. Rutland issues a clear challenge: you can’t live with one foot in each camp. It’s time to choose—God or the devil, the Kingdom or the world, but not both.

In Part 2 of God in the Distaff Side, Dr. Mark Rutland turns to the hearts of women in Scripture—the compromised, romantic, and committed heart. From Lot’s wife and Bathsheba to Rizpah and Mary, each reveals how the posture of the heart shaped their destiny. Through these stories, Dr. Rutland reveals how the heart still directs the course of a life—and how God continues to speak through the distaff side.

In this moving two-part series, Dr. Mark Rutland turns our attention to the women of Scripture—how they saw, what they carried, and how God met them in their pain. From Michal’s bitterness to Naomi’s brokenness, from a Gentile mother’s humility to Anna’s faith, their stories reveal how the eyes of women have been shaped by loss, insult, and hope. This message is a love letter from God to the distaff side—a call to see beyond what’s been lost and believe again.

In this powerful message from Acts 1:1–8, Dr. Mark Rutland explores the profound communication struggle between God and humanity. Though God's message is perfect, it is received through our broken, fallen nature—leading to confusion about the very Kingdom Jesus came to reveal. Dr. Rutland illustrates how even the apostles misunderstood Christ's teachings on power, expecting military strength when Jesus offered spiritual authority. Through vivid examples—from the humanity of Jesus to Peter’s sword in Gethsemane—this sermon challenges listeners to rethink what it means to receive true power through the Holy Spirit. Power not to conquer, but to carry the cross.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Mark Rutland unpacks Isaiah 6:1—"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord..." With deep insight and personal storytelling, he reminds us that no matter what happens in our lives or nation, God is still on the throne. Sharing a childhood lesson about depth perception, Dr. Rutland illustrates how the enemy magnifies our pain until it blocks our view of God. But like Isaiah, we can declare: I see that... but I also see the Lord, high and lifted up. This message is a stirring call to reclaim our focus, renew our humility, and refuse to let grief or fear define our year—because this is the year of our Lord.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Mark Rutland explores one of the most profound moments of repentance in all of Scripture. Drawing from 2 Samuel 12 and Psalm 51, he unpacks the story behind King David’s fall with Bathsheba, the prophetic confrontation by Nathan, and David’s heartfelt response. Dr. Rutland dives into the raw honesty of Psalm 51, showing how David’s confession wasn’t about managing consequences—it was about true transformation. A thousand years before Christ, David longed not just for forgiveness, but for a new heart. This message is a sobering reminder that no sin is isolated, but also a beautiful testament to God’s mercy and desire to restore.

In this powerful episode of The Leader’s Notebook, Dr. Mark Rutland unpacks the story of Jezebel from 1 Kings 21—revealing how this ancient narrative exposes a manipulative and destructive spirit still at work today. Jezebel wasn’t just a historical figure; she represents a spirit of control that thrives in secrecy, manipulation, and ultimately, destruction. This episode explores how the Jezebel spirit operates behind the scenes, pulling strings for power without accountability. Dr. Rutland challenges listeners to recognize the signs, understand the pathology, and learn how to confront this spirit by bringing it into the light.

In Acts 13, the Holy Spirit speaks, and the Church is launched into its mission. In this episode, Dr. Mark Rutland unpacks how Acts 13 reveals a responsive, missional, and intentional Church, led by the voice of God. But does God still speak and move like that today? Dr. Rutland shares his own powerful testimony of hearing from God in 1981 and following His call, even when the path seemed impossible. The Holy Spirit is still speaking—are we listening?

Dr. Mark Rutland takes us to Acts 9 and 10, where Peter’s encounter in Joppa becomes a turning point for the gospel. A Roman centurion, a vision of unclean food becoming clean, and a divine command—God was stretching Peter beyond his understanding of the law. Was God telling him to break it? No, He was revealing a greater plan. As Peter wrestled with tradition, the answer came knocking—literally. Joppa wasn’t just a historical moment; it was the gateway to the Gentile world, shaping the future of the Church. Just as Jonah resisted Nineveh, Peter hesitated—but obedience in Joppa changed history. The Holy Spirit is always expanding our faith, challenging our expectations, and leading us into the unknown. Are you ready to follow?

Dr. Mark Rutland takes us to Acts 2, where Simon Peter boldly proclaims, “This is that”—connecting the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to Joel’s ancient prophecy. What happened in that Upper Room wasn’t just a historical event; it was the future breaking into the present. The early believers couldn’t fulfill their mission without the power of the Holy Spirit, and neither can we. In this episode, Dr. Rutland unpacks the deeper meaning of Pentecost, its connection to prophecy, and why the Holy Spirit remains essential for the Church today.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook, Dr. Mark Rutland reads from Matthew 13:18-48. Jesus describes the Kingdom of Heaven through parables, like a multifaceted jewel, each parable revealing another glimpse of its splendor. The Kingdom is ruled by God, but in its outward form, it remains a mixture until Christ’s return—imperfect in us, yet divinely orchestrated. And just as a man gives everything for a great treasure, so Jesus gave everything for you. God, the King, is calling you to His table of grace. Will you see yourself as He sees you—worth everything?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Mark Rutland explores the story of four leprous men at the gate of Samaria during an Aramean siege, with the city trapped in famine and desperation (2 Kings 7:3). These outcasts unknowingly stumble upon abundance where they expected death, and their next decision holds a powerful lesson for us today. Don’t miss this thought-provoking message!

In the Book of Judges, God used unexpected, inanimate objects—an ox goad, a tent peg, a pitcher, a torch, a trumpet, a millstone, and a jawbone—to bring victory to His people. These objects had no power of their own, yet in the hands of a higher power, they played a crucial role in God’s divine plan. In this episode, Dr. Mark Rutland explores how these unconventional instruments teach us about availability, surrender, and the supernatural power of God. Like Paul in Corinth, we must determine to know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified—saying “yes” to be used as His instrument, for His purpose, no matter how ordinary we may seem.

In this powerful message from 2 Kings 4, Dr. Mark Rutland explores a mother’s unwavering faith in the face of tragedy. Her story challenges us to reflect on our own faith—do we have a heart for the lost and dying? Through personal testimony and biblical insight, Dr. Rutland calls us to embrace God’s mission and allow Him to work through us in our communities.

Examining the role of the Holy Spirit and the gifts bestowed upon the apostles, Dr. Rutland offers personal insights into the blessing and danger of power—how, when misused, it can lead people astray, even to the point of committing harm in the name of Jesus. This episode is a compelling call to steward power with wisdom and humility in the service of the gospel.
