Send us Fan Mail God doesn’t need better rumors about Him, He reveals Himself. We lean hard into that conviction as we talk about why Scripture is the bedrock for Life Around The Fire and why the written Word of God still carries power for real life today. We’re not chasing religious noise or nostalgia for another era. We’re watching God move now, and we want our faith to stay anchored, honest, and alive. We unpack what we mean by awakening, reformation, revival, and the outpouring of the Ho...

Send us Fan Mail Leadership is under strain, and a lot of what passes for “strong leadership” is really just status, volume, or branding. We go a different direction and talk about Kingdom of God leadership: the kind that carries values, practices, and priorities aligned with Jesus, and that leads people into deeper relationship with the Lord and radical obedience that goes all the way to the root. One of the most challenging ideas we share is simple and costly: if we want to advance in God’...

Send us Fan Mail Leadership has a way of bruising you in places no one can see. After nearly five years of podcasting, we slow down to thank everyone who’s been listening around the world and especially those who have been praying, because that support keeps ministry from turning into sheer self-effort. Then we get honest about what many pastors, church leaders, and spiritual leaders learn the hard way: the longer you lead, the more you’ll face moments that sting. We talk about “sheep bite” ...

Send us Fan Mail That jolt of insecurity can land in the middle of an ordinary day and suddenly you feel small, exposed, and “less than.” We’ve both seen how fast that inner voice can drag you back into old measurements and old shame, even after years of growth. So we slow down and name what’s really happening when inferiority and insecurity resurface, especially when life expands and the stakes feel higher. We define what we mean by a spiritual stronghold or mental stronghold: a deeply ingr...

Send us Fan Mail The world can feel like it’s turning up the heat by the day, and a lot of us are carrying that pressure in our minds, families, and faith. We sit with a hard but hopeful idea: heavy times are not new, and living with real expectation for Jesus Christ’s soon return is meant to form us, not frighten us. When we keep that horizon in view, it fuels hunger to know Him now and invites us into deeper unity as the presence of God melts down our defenses and reshapes us from the insid...

Send us Fan Mail Pain has a way of making you ask hard questions, and we do not dodge them here. Trevor McMahon joins us again for part two on suffering with purpose, anchored in Philippians 3:10 and the challenging phrase “the fellowship of His sufferings.” We talk honestly about persecution, opposition, and the strange reality that hardship can be evidence you’re walking close to Jesus, not proof you’ve been forgotten. We dig into what suffering can produce that comfort never will: deeper ...

Send us Fan Mail Pain has a way of making us ask the same question on repeat: did God leave me here? We sit down with Trevor McMahon to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in modern Christianity, that suffering automatically means God is displeased or distant. Instead, we open the Bible and face a tougher truth with a stronger hope: the people who walked closest to God often faced the most resistance, and God still worked powerfully through them. We spend most of our time in 2 Corint...

Send us Fan Mail Something is shifting, and we don’t want you to miss the timing. We’re talking prophetic ministry with a simple, clarifying distinction: foretelling points to what’s ahead, while forth telling declares what God is doing right now. That lens keeps the focus where it belongs, on spiritual growth and a living relationship with God that reshapes how we relate to each other. Our main focus is a prophetic look at June 2026. We’re sensing an increased manifesting of the Kingdom of ...

Send us Fan Mail You can be faithful and still feel like you are breaking. If you are in a season where the pressure is higher than anything you expected, we are speaking encouragement straight into that place with a message that does not sugarcoat the struggle: God often demonstrates His strength most clearly when we feel weak, stretched, and out of options. We talk about discipleship as a real-life call into the impossible, where the kingdom of God moves forward by the power of the H...

Send us Fan Mail You can have the whole world and still feel empty. We go straight at that lie with a personal story that spans more than 50 years: a teenage encounter with Jesus that changed everything, the painful quiet that followed, and the long detour into a hard and fast life that looked like it would end in ruin. If you’ve ever thought, “I went too far,” or “I wasted my best years,” we want you to hear this clearly: God didn’t leave, and your story is not finished. We talk about...
