At first glance, the world we live in is full of unspeakable evil. The Way of Jesus Christ isn’t to ignore these problems. Instead, he invites us to look again through His eyes to see and manifest a whole new world! The result is a heart full of unspeakable joy!

When one begins to believe that Jesus Christ definitively and decisively saved the Cosmos, it can leave one feeling out of place. Finding a place to belong, a tribe to be loved by can be a real challenge. In this episode I talk about what it means to get our sense of Home from our citizenship in Heaven, not by our earthly address.

I'm so unbelievably pumped to host special guest Nathan Stirling of the band Rivers and Robots. Nathan has ministered all around the world, seeing thousands of people saved, healed and delivered. He has performed his music for MILLIONS of people. He's lived the band dream...and yet, Nathan will tell you that Jesus alone brings lasting satisfaction. In this cadid episode, Nathan talks about how God's intention for our lives is not that we would be constantly maxed out. God is not looking to "use" us and wring us out dry, only to find the next excited Christian to use up. He's a Loving Father who wants us to rest in His finished work. His highest priority is relationship and community.

What is the gift of prophecy, and why is it so important that Paul instructed us to earnestly desire it above all other gifts? Can we really trust prophecy when so many of today's modern prophets have failed so badly? These are the questions I dive into in this live sermon from the "Milk and Honey" event in Tampa Florida. When it comes right down to it, prophecy is not about predicting the future. It's not about pointing people to a brighter day that's down the road. It is a supernatural tool that enables us to love each other as Christ loves us. The Spirit of Prophecy is the powerful anointing to witness to who Jesus is and what he's done.

If God is really good, why is there so much suffering in the world? This is a question that haunts believers and non-believers alike. To make matters worst, many churches teach that God causes suffering in order to bring Himself glory! In this episode, we look at a converstion between Jesus and His disciples that sheds light on this subject. We also take a look at lessons learned from the life of Job. God is better than we could ever imagine. He is not the author of suffering, He is the HEALER of our sufferings. As we grapple with these difficult questions together, it is my firm hope that you come out the other side with an unshakeable confession: that God really is GOOD.

In this week's episode I'm continuing my series on Divine Healing! The Bible says that Faith "works" (or is ENERGIZED) by LOVE! Therefore, one of the keys to great Faith is to weed fear-based theologies out of our belief system. In this episode I take a look at some passages that are often misused to teach that healing is NOT always God's will. We cover Paul's mysterious "thorn in the flesh," Jesus's terrifying words in Revelation 2:22, as well as 1st Corinthians 11 which talks about people dying from taking communion.

There is indescribable freedom within the bonds of covenant family! The Bible says that REAL LOVE lays down it's life for it's friends. Why then, is our culture so deathly afraid of commitment? Matt and Katie Spinks have been leading a Glory community for the last 15 years. I got the chance to sit down with them and ask about the joys of living a lifestyle of radical love for others. I also got to ask Kelsey Aper, a fellow dreamer and creative about what it looks like to make the Kingdom our number one priority while living in a culture that insists we must first drop everything to pursue greatness.

It's not hard for Christians to believe that an all-powerful God CAN perform miracles. The issue is that many of us find it very difficult to believe God is always WILLING to do miracles. This disconnect in our understanding of His goodness has undermined our experience of the supernatural for centuries. But why? Where did these toxic ideas come from? If it's always Gods's will to heal, why isn't healing more wide-spread? Join me today for a deep dive into these questions.

In the fall of 2012, God dramatically healed my mom at Bethel Church in Redding, California. This was a pivotal moment for my family, as it opened us up to a whole new dimension of the goodness of God and sent me on a theological journey.

There's a moment in Matthew's Gospel where Jesus' disciples ask Him how to be successful and important. He set a child in front of Him and said "You must be like a child." Apparently, Heaven's definition of success is quite different than the world's. Jesus also added a sharp warning to leaders not to hinder childlike faith. In this episode, I dive into what it means to have childlike faith, as well as how to identify toxic leaders that steal your joy.

What does it mean to be in "ministry?" Is it to be a pastor? A missionary? A preacher (or God forbid, a Podcastor?!) All of these things involve ministry, but if our definition of ministry is confined to the walls of the church, we create a divide between "sacred work" and "secular work." The problem is, this line doesn't exist in scripture. Today we are going to dive into the topic of ministering in the workplace, and what it looks like to see the Kingdom of God invade our jobs with signs, wonders, and miracles.

All throughout the Bible and Christian history there are stories of Saints who stepped out of the confines of their physical bodies, and into the realm of the Spirit.

In Matthew 10:8, Jesus told his disciples to "heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons..." Tyler Johnson takes that verse literally. In fact, his worldwide Dead Raising Teams have seen 22 people raised from the dead! Though his Joy is contagious, Tyler is no stranger to sickeness and death. The Spirit of God has led him into some incredible dark and dangerous situations. Yet time after time, he has seen the Faithfulness of God honor His promise to heal the sick and riase the dead through His people.

If you were to ask some people, God's dream for prosperity is that He will give us all Rolexes, summer homes, and private jets if we tithe to the man of God on TV. Others might say that the only TRUE way to follow Jesus is to take a vow of poverty and reject all material gain whatsoever. The book of Genesis has some FASCINATING things to reveal about God's original intention for our material well-being. No matter which side of the spectrum you fall on, you might be suprised at what we find on the other side of the Cross. God wants us to be well taken care of, AND radically generous.

After several months, I'm revisiting my series on the Cross! The blood of Jesus is always speaking. Now more than ever is the time to hear and understand it's message. What is the reason for so much evil in the world? Why are so many families torn apart, woman sold into sexual slavery, and homes without fathers? Why is there a constant tension between men and woman to be in competition with one another? Where does shame, guilt, suspicion, sabotage, and hatred come from? In this episode, I'll take you on a journey back to the Garden of Eden to see what went wrong, but more importantly what Jesus has made right. In order to understand what the Cross has restored, we need to understand the dream of God that was (seemingly,) lost. To support House of Bliss, sign up on PATREON Music by: GLOWING MOSES

Recently, a very well known worship leader attacked the Mirror Bible as "nothing but deception." This of course, sparked a large comment war on Facebook.

Visions are one of THE primary ways God speaks to His people. People often think the prophetic is for special people with special gifts. But the Bible says that in Christ, the VEIL is taken away and we can behold His Face! A lot of folks get hung up on the fact that they've never experienced visions before. We don't have to be defined by our past experience! The Gospel is a continual invitation to experience MORE. If God lives inside of us, then hearing from Him is easy and natural. It's so easy in fact, that most of us overlook the ways that he's already speaking to us all the time. In this episode, I talk about why I think visions should be a normal part of every believer's relationship with God, as well as lead a time of activation at the end. ENJOY!

Enjoy this sermon excerpt from the first session of my "School of Happy Evangelism!" Every single one of us carries an internal engine, or belief system. Whether good or bad, these beliefs drive us to do everything we do. In this talk, I share about the two dominant lenses concerning evangelism in the church today. The first is what I call "the Titanic Gospel," that everyone is doomed, and we gotta get 'em out of here as fast as possible! The second, is what I call "Garden Christianity." That the victory of Jesus on the Cross restored creation to it's original vision and purpose, and we get to share in that. Both of these lenses provoke similar actions, but wildly different fruit in our lives.

His goal has always been that His people would experience Him Face to Face to recieve wisdom for governing the world. Now, that dream is fully realized in our Union with Christ!

For most Christians, when they hear the phrase "Eternal Life" they think of a future life in Heaven.

During the second session of the School of Happy Evangelism, the Holy Spirit broke out in an unexpectedly intense way. I began to speak spontaneously on the nature of the Holy Spirit. He is described all throughout scripture as a River. This River is always moving, and always bringing Life into death. When we become consumers focused on survival, we hinder the flow of the Holy Spirit. Our encounters with God are meant to turn US into an encounter for the world around us. However, when we learn to breathe him in and breathe him out, we begin to disover what we were truly made for. To support House of Bliss, sign up to be a patron here: Patreon Music By Glowing Moses

There is a famous verse in Hebrews chapter 10 that says "It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God." In this final installment of the "House of Haunted Scriptures" series, we take a look at what the judgement of God is really about. 1st John tells us that whoever fears punishment has not been perfected in Love, but Hebrews talks about a fearful expectation of Judgement. Which is it?! I believe that if we properly understood the Judgement of God and how it functions, we would not only think it's good news, but we would welcome it happily into our lives. God really is good. He really is beautiful, even His Judgement. To support House of Bliss, head over to our Patreon Intro music from www.pond5.com Other music by Glowing Moses

In the most famous sermon of all time, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Jonathan Edwards speaks of God's white hot hatred for sinners. He famously compared humans to loathsome spiders dangled over the fires of hell. This is the God that lurks in the subconscious of evangelical Christianity. But is this REALLY how Abba Father feels about humanity? It's easy to lift a story like Sodom and Gomorrah out of context and defend this twisted version of God. However, if Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God's nature, then the question is no longer "can I prove this with the Bible?" The question is "Can I prove this with Jesus?" When we look at the story of Sodom and Gomorrah through the lens of Jesus, we actually see a God of tender mercy. A God who fights for the oppressed. A God who cares deeply about human decisions. A God who's making all things new. Everything about God is Love, even His Wrath. Let's explore this together!

Most Christians believe deep down that God is good, and God is Love. Yet sometimes the Bible paints a picture of God that's more terrifying than the worst Halloween spooks. Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God's nature. If we read something in scripture that argues with what Jesus reveals about God on the cross, we have permission to question it. So what about the story of Herod being struck by an Angel? What about Ananias and Saphira? Are these acts of God, or is there more to the story? That's what we're diving into this week.

This week I brought my fabulous wife, Katie Harmon back on! Our marriage is centered around one major thing: we want to experience the manifest Presence of Jesus every single day. Now that we have two kids, our life can be pretty complicated! However, we are convinced that if you simply desire this for your family, it's already yours. We wanted to share some practical advice and beliefs that help our family stay rooted in the flow of Heaven. You will hear exciting testimonies of supernatural healings, angels, objects materializing, visions, heavy weighty glory, and more! We cover some practical points like schedule, family rituals, finances, and kids! We also talk about spiritual principles like impartation, seeing in the spirit, union with God, and more.

Many of us were handed a Christianity that says the ultimate goal is to get out of here! Like we're on a sinking ship and we need to get as many people saved as possible before it goes down in flames! The problem is, this turns the Gospel into a dire warning rather than "good news of great joy for all people." I'd like to make a biblical case that the Gospel is actually much bigger and better than we could ever imagine. When Jesus Christ stepped out of the tomb 2,000 years ago, he took back what Adam lost. On this episode, we will explore the grand story of scripture without our western, fundamentalist lenses. The Garden has been redeemed, and eternity starts NOW! Welcome to Heaven!

Have you ever read the book of Acts, and then wondered what the heck modern Christians are doing? Since 2004 author Matt Spinks and songwriter Brian Shilts have been endeavoring to live in radical, book of Acts community. For years they did their absolute best to meet 5-7 nights a week and fruitlessly "pray down Heaven." Suddenly, one small epiphany changed everything. In 2008 They realized that Jesus Christ brought Heaven to us. Since then their families have been living in a supernatural swirl of unusual miracles, changed lives, brotherly love and much more. Discovering that they could get "High on God" may not have made them the most polished church around, but hearing their testimonies of long term, unconditional love will deeply stir those wondering if there's more. It's not high church, it's "high" church.

In Luke 15, Jesus told three parables. One about a lost sheep, the second about a lost coin, and the third about a lost son. If something is "lost" that means it always belonged somewhere. In each of these stories, the characters were willing to go to any length to bring back that which was lost. All our lives we are told by the world and religion that we are worthless. Yet the fact that God almighty was willing to pay with His own blood to bring us back into His family speaks volumes about our true identity. If we are willing to surrender our own self appraisals, we can begin to see just how valuable we are to Him.

The claim of the early church is that Jesus Christ is Lord, God, and King of the cosmos! This can be a horrifying thought if we believe Jesus is anything like our earthly leaders. The Cross reveals something wonderfully surprising about how God almighty approaches power. Rather than extracting raw obedience from His enemies with threats of violence, King Jesus conquers through His overwhelming love. When we look at the slain lamb of God enthroned in Heaven, we see that God filters every decision through the lens of His self sacrificing love.

What if I told you that you're not a sinner bound for struggle? What if I told you that you're not prone to wander, you're prone to wonder? What if I told you that you could be addicted to God rather than sin? If that sounds crazy, you might need to hear the Gospel again! When we look at the cross of Jesus Christ, we are actually looking at our own mystical death with him. Let's explore what this means together! **To support House of Bliss and get all sorts of cool extras visit my Patreon Page ** Check out the books I draw from Mystical Union Open My Eyes Lord

What is the Gospel? Paul the Apostle said it's the Wisdom of God, and the Power of God! Many are hearing a version of the Gospel that leaves them stuck in bondage. Yet the early church was marked by the manifestation of freedom! Could it be that we are confused about the message Jesus really came to announce? In this live sermon, I explore the Gospel of God, that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! When we understand the cross, we can receive all the healing we need for every area of life!

I believe so strongly that there's nothing more important (or misunderstood,) than the cross of Jesus Christ! Often times the cross gets a shout out during alter calls, but it's mostly sidelined for more "relevant" messages. Other places it gets loaded with so much negative theology that it ends up seeming like we need to be saved from God. For the next several weeks we will be focusing on showing off different angels of the crucifixion. There's no message more practical or life altering! The blood of Jesus speaks to your marriage, your business, your family, your mental health, your identity, your destiny, and so much more! This week we discuss how Jesus became our ransom, and broke our agreement with the spiritual forces of evil. When we partner with the truth, we are set free indeed!

One of the best forms of relationship advice you can receive is simply hearing someone else's story. Katie's first reaction to hearing that I was in love with her was something like "no...what? Oh no..." On this latest episode, my wife and I walk you through the story of how we went from that initial reaction, to being happily married for 5 years. We also share relationship nuggets we've learned along the way. As Steve Backlund says, if any area of your life isn't glistening with hope, it's probably under the influence of a lie. This is especially true of your love life! To support House of Bliss, head over to our Patreon page Music by Glowing Moses and Cole Harmon

Did you know the word repentance isn't even in the Bible?! Yeah, I know it's in your English Bible, but it doesn't match the original languages. There is some absolutely fascinating and life giving beauty behind the Greek and Hebrew words for "repentance." Rather than a groveling payment for wrong doing, repentance is the dramatic shift in perception that causes us to change direction. This shift causes an epic overflow of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives! To support House of Bliss, check out our Patreon page here: Support the show!

Who is Jesus? Is he a historical figure? Is he a great example? Perhaps a spiritual man to be honored? These are the whispers of our generation. But Jesus Christ is so much more than a new religion to follow. He offers intimate, dynamic friendship with a deeply personal, experiential God. Sometimes we find ourselves weighed down by distractions and lesser pursuits. Sometimes all we need a spiritual reset, where we discover the beauty of Jesus all over again.

"The Christian of the future will be a mystic, or he will not exist at all." Karl Rahner It's so easy to get stressed out on social media. There's a myriad of voices on all sides are pushing fake news, alternative facts, and political agendas. Sometimes it feels like the truth is impossible to find! For Cole and Mark, this is exactly why Jesus is more relevant than ever. They each share their personal stories of how encounters with Jesus turned their lives upside down. The truth is not found in click bait, it's found in the very real person of Jesus Christ. Warning: While not intentionally explicit, the stories shared here are unfiltered.

What do Marie Kondo (superstar creator of the "Konmari Method") and Jesus Christ have in common? So much! While some might denounce the show as "unbiblical" nothing could be further from the truth! Some of the very first things we learn about God is that he's a designer, a chef, and a builder. We learn about how creation itself is a house for God, built on a foundation of joy, rest, and order. God wasn't just content with a functional creation, it had to be beautiful too! We also learn how every detail of our lives carries spiritual significance. When we are truly in tune with the Presence of God, our natural response is to bring everything around us into Divine Order. Every time we make something more beautiful, we are functioning in our original design as human beings.

How many of us cringe when someone says "I just need to be real for a minute!" We instinctively know we're about to be on the receiving end of verbal vomit. Yet how many of us also cringe around fake people? People who never let anyone see past their forced smile? The truth about you is that you are a brand new creation! A lot of what our culture celebrates as "authentic" is anything but! No matter what emotions or circumstances we face, our Union with Jesus Christ is the highest and deepest truth about us. At the same time, the church often penalizes people for going through hard times! They provide "fake it til you make it" solutions, without telling us who we really are. This week Mark and Cole dive into the tension between the New Creation realities given to us in Christ, and the apparent contradictions of human suffering. They also share practical advise for staying perpetually encouraged. The new ending music is "The Light" by Glowing Moses. Available for purchase on Bandcamp and all other major music platforms.

When people say they are "high on life" we understand what they mean. They are using figurative language about feeling excited. When Matt Spinks says he is "High on God" he is being completely serious. Matt has been living in a state of Divine inebriation for over a decade. In this guest nugget, Matt shares how the message of Jesus Christ is the good news that the bliss we thought was reserved for Heaven one day, is already upon us here and now. Not in a "high on life" sort of way, but in a tangible, experiential way.

2,000 years ago Jesus Christ announced that "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" Heaven is not a place we go when we die. It's also not a location that contains God. Heaven is a person, and in Him we live and move and have our being. The best picture I've ever seen to illustrate this comes in a retro-horror package. This week we dive into the hit Netflix show "Stranger Things" and what it teaches us about love, community, and the spirit realm. House of Bliss is supported by your generosity!

Welcome to House of Bliss Nuggets! Nuggets are short, heartfelt monologues in between the main episodes. Have you ever found yourself assuming the worst case scenario when someone doesn't text you back right away? Sometimes when we have trouble hearing from God, we assume that we did something wrong. Humans have felt a sense of inadequacy towards the Divine for all of history. Religion preys on our weakness by continually offering new systems of appeasement. We thought God needed a "temple of doom" style sacrifice to be okay with us. Instead, Jesus Christ introduces us to a Father who graciously provided his own blood to satisfy our guilt. The blood of Jesus was not to change God's mind about us, rather it is to change our shame riddled minds about Him! We really can be confident in His opinion of us matter what our fleeting emotions might tell us!

From the city that brought you the factory of sadness now comes the House of Bliss podcast! This week on HOB, we tackle a call in question from one of our Patrons. "What did Jesus mean when he said we could ask for anything in his name?" Many of us are taught from an early age to be deeply suspicious of our hearts. We might feel that the will of God is a tightrope, and any misstep will end in ruin. Yet when we look at the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles, we start to get a totally different picture. The Gospel is the announcement that our old, sinful heart has been crucified with Christ. We are new creations living in union with God himself! Rather than an outside God trying to manage our destiny, we have a gracious Father that leads us from within. When we begin to live in tune with this reality, we find that the desires of our heart merge seamlessly into the will of God.

Welcome to the House of Bliss Nuggets! Nuggets are mini-monologues in between main episodes. This week I'm diving into a fantastically weird subject: Speaking in tongues! Whether it's the fear of getting possessed by the Dalai Lama spirit and accidentally ordering hordes of demons to kill your first born, or simply the fear that it's unbiblical, speaking in tongues gets a lot of negative attention. Yet I have found it to be a powerful and pleasurable gift from God when used correctly.

From the city that brought you the factory of sadness now comes the House of Bliss Podcast! Every single word and deed of Jesus was loaded with intentionality and life changing revelation. Yet sometimes the revolutionary message of Jesus gets reduced to an elevator pitch about afterlife scenarios. Although it's true that the Gospel is so simple a child could grasp it, it's also important to let our minds and hearts be fried by the bigness of it all! Would you rather see photos of the Grand Canyon, or would you rather be overwhelmed by it for yourself?! I would like to argue that the Gospel of Jesus is something that will take the rest of our lives to unpack, and we shouldn't be so quick to chop it up into bite sized pieces. Rather, let's have fun exploring every facet of it together! Thanks to our new Patrons: Kimberly, Jeff and Jill, Jess and Justin (of Ruth's place,) and Jared!

Since the main episodes take so much work with all their bells and whistles we will release them every other week. For the the weeks in between, I will do a short bare-bones style teaching. Sometimes it's good to skip all the frills and just share my heart with you! You'll have to forgive me for the audio this week, it didn't turn out nearly how I wanted it. I felt so good about this take that I had to keep it anyway. Thanks for your patience as I continue to learn the art/science of audio! This week I got SUPER fired up so prepare to dive into the deep end! The blood of Jesus isn't to change God's mind about us, it's to change our shame riddled minds about Him! Some have an idea that God's Holiness means he cannot be around Sin. Yet one look at Jesus Christ blows that idea away. If Sin is a sickness then Jesus is the only healer! Does our wrong doing disappoint God and push him away? Far from it, it is actually the very thing that moved Him to take on human flesh! We can tell how mature we are in the love of God by how we think when something goes wrong. Do we immediately revert back to a version of God that needs appeasement? Or can we rest safe and sound in the arms of our Daddy? If we can't, we simply need to gaze deeply into the cross of Christ and let our shame be destroyed by His love!
