We never know the benefits we can bring to other believers if we just share our story. Sometimes the most mundane points to us sit with others as the most life-changing messages for them. SHARE YOUR STORY 🙂

Leaders in the faith would do well to research every tradition of Christmas and be prepared to defend their faith. Amen and amen. People need to know Christ is a living person, with a real birth, and we celebrate that.

The one aspect of life the modern, Western Church has torn to shreds is the home life. There's ministry for women, men, teens, the elderly, etc. The problem that is created is that no one is on the same page, and there is no sense of authority in the home because everyone is leaning on someone different for their teachings. Coming back to the 5 Crowns of Reward puts the authority in the parents' driver's seat again. Children are never to be handed off or outsourced to another person. Ever. Parent train their children, and children obey their parents. The 5 Crowns are easy for everyone to learn, and they keep the authority in the hands of the people whom God designed to train and build the next generation, the parents. Home life builds under the 5 Crowns because God has always promised to save households. From Abel's righteous sacrifice, to Job's sacrifice and intercession for his home, to Noah and his sons and their wives, and the ministry of Jesus through parents' petitions, and most clearly seen in the Church as the house of God built by its own family membership, God has always saved by household. Take the passover instructions: put the blood on the doorposts, and the household was saved; those that did not, those households were not saved. An entire nation of households walk out of the slavery of Egypt. The 5 Crowns are a family study session. I read the list of these crowns to my 6-month old daughter and she loves them. My wife and I read the list before every Bible study. We practice them, share our stories, and build our faith together. God saves by household.

This podcast wanted stories from my living experience of ministry. The 5 Crowns Ran the show, of course. STORIES FROM REAL LIFE
