Ignited Fortitude
Ignited Fortitude
Bobby Valdez & Aaron Sharp
At Ignited Fortitude we feel called to make disciples as Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:18-20, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you”. We know every person has been equipped with purpose. Throughout life we let the world and enemy wear us down and doubt ourselves allowing that fire inside us to dwindle or extinguish. The desire of Ignited Fortitude is to make disciples and equip the saints by igniting and continuing to stoke that fire through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are here to come along side you on the path which you have been called, so that we will be found standing firm in contending for the faith but never losing sight of our first Love, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 
What we know for certain
1 John 5:13-21 closes the letter by grounding Christians in assurance of eternal life, confidence in prayer, victory over sin, and allegiance to the one true God. This passage confronts false security, shallow faith, and entertaining things that take the place of God.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignitedfortitude/donations

Your Gold Calf
When God feels silent, we don't wait, we build. What is your fix, who is your person, or the image you try to hold on to? We don't want a God who challenges us we want a god we can control, a god that will never disappoint. We might not be melting gold in order to make a god we can worship instead we forge idols from our tears or the pain we are trying to overcome.Get supportMenoffortitude.lifeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignitedfortitude/donations

Spirit of Truth or Spirit of Deception?
Be careful not every spiritual message comes from God, John tells us the importance of testing the spirits. There are those that have the spirit of truth and others that have the spirit of deception, not to mention he lets us know that the spirit of Antichrist is also at work.1 John 4:1-6www.menoffortitude.lifeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignitedfortitude/donations

Actions Speak Louder than Words
It's easy to claim you love God but John challenges that your actions speak louder than your words. John gives the realization that there are some who give off the appearance of looking spiritual and fall into the trap of being like Cain.1 John 3:11-24Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignitedfortitude/donations
