Can You Relate?


We are starting to hit our stride in this podcast…
On Tuesday, we dropped episode #11 with a focus on R. T. Kendall’s 30 year old book: “The Word and the Spirit.” Our scriptural focus was on Acts 13:1 and the beautiful balance between the teacher and the prophet.
Two days later an interview drops between Kendall (in his 90’s) and Charisma magazine. Kendall says: “The Charismatic movement is dead. Has no impact. It’s over.”
In #11, we talk about the need to find the treasure in the ruins…this is a timely challenge. Please watch this episode:
There has been a silent divorce in the Church… between the Word and the Spirit.
And it’s costing more than we think.
Episode #11 – Join Me in the Ruins
“For the law of happiness in this universe seems to be: Center yourself on yourself, and you won’t like yourself. Lose yourself in the needs of others, and you will find yourself—find yourself a happy person. That is the basic law of life, human and divine, in this universe. Break it and you get broken—there are no exceptions.” — E. Stanley Jones
Episode #9 of Join Me in the Ruins is live… and this one hits hard.
What happens when power, politics, and the Church collide?
Where did things begin to shift… and what did we lose along the way?
In this episode, we wrestle with the story of Stephen, the rise of Constantine, and what might be one of the most pivotal (and painful) turning points in Church history.
This isn’t just history.
This is about right now.
👉 Are we following Jesus… or protecting systems?
👉 Are we living sacrificially… or comfortably?
👉 Did the Church gain influence—but lose something deeper?
If you’ve ever felt tension between the Church as it is and the Church as it could be…
this conversation is for you.
Episode #8 of Join Me in the Ruins is right here! It gives crucial insight as to why Antioch and not Jerusalem is the Biblical pattern for the reconstruction of the church.
Episode 7 has arrived and there is some wild stuff about the kind of Church Jesus expects from us!
