The Real Podcast

Today I talk with Elijah Buchan, author of some amazing fiction that he has used very well to point readers toward the Lord. Elijah's "Kingdom" series is set in a fantastic realm on another world, and reminds me of a blend of some of my favourite authors. If you've ever wondered where good clean literature is with incredible world building and character development, look no further. You can find a free download of his first book at elijahbuchan.com

We're all busy with good things, and bad. We come and go, race here and there. We tend to think God needs our help in working out His plans for our lives, and we waste a lot of time preparing when we should be simply doing. In this episode of The Real Podcast, I look at some invaluable advice that was passed along to me about numbering our days that we might gain a heart of wisdom.

Fear can be crippling in life, and particularly when we are called to do something for God. We allow haters and dream killers to affect our progress, and the worst of all being the person we see staring at us in the mirror. In this episode I dive deep into different forms of fear and how we can overcome through the Word and "trusting the gear."

What if I told you that you can be an individual for Jesus doing what you are called to do in a way you were called? In this episode, I talk about messing with the method and not being stuck in metrics that we were never meant to be measured against. There is a freedom in being creative, innovative, and thinking differently. What are you willing to do to share the gospel? Failure is nothing more than an event, it isn't a person or a part of your personality. So, go and do bold things for Jesus.

There is no example in the bible of a functional family, we all come from our own situations be they good or bad. Our past can affect the ministry we are called to in ways that may surprise us. In this episode I talk about the reality of our father and mother wounds, and share a bit of my own history as well.

In this episode, I talk about how I just sent out my friend CJ Morgan as a church planter. This means something for both of us, and it brought challenges I didn't realize. We can get in people's way, or we can encourage them. Listen on as I share this journey in a real and raw conversation.

We have the wrong idea about what it means to be an alpha male. In this episode, I share about how it works in the animal kingdom and how it should work for those of us in leadership. It doesn't matter if it's the home, church, or another ministry we can all take note of what it really means to be an alpha.
