The Fear of Man 7.23.08
Where did fear come from? How has it impacted our lives? What would
happen if we were no longer afraid of what others thought of us? Has the
IC had a hand in creating fear in our lives? This stirring discussion
pounces on these issues of fear.

The Bottom Line 7.16.08
Recently it appears that Father has been working in our lives to bring us to the
bottom line. Dealing with the foundations in our lives. Jesus didn't
come to be the answer man, he is the answer. This discussion digs into
some of the ways Father centers us into himself.

The Supernatural 7.09.08
Where's the power? Where's the miracles? Is the demonstration of the
power of God just for revival meetings? What about those folks that walk in
relationship with Father outside of the institutional church setting? This
discussion brings about a variety of thoughts regarding the supernatural life.

The Fear Of God 7.03.08
This topic is another one of those misunderstood concepts when viewed through
the prism of institutional thinking. Our conversation explores the variety
of thoughts on the fear of God both from the OT and NT and the perspective of
relationship with Father.

Secular/Spiritual Part 2 6.11.08
Our conversation delves into the more personal impact. We can get so
twisted up in trying to maintain some semblance of our own holiness through our
embedded sense of the secular and spiritual within us.

Secular/Spiritual 6.02.08
The division between secular and spiritual sides of our lives has become one of
the major hindrances in our ability to believe in Christ. It is also one
of the more significant sources of frustration in trusting Father. We
explore the impact this religious construct has made in our lives.

Creativity 5.28.08
We actually start talking about children, children's ministry, youth ministry
and Sunday school, and end up on creativity. What's significant in this
conversation is how creativity is allowed only as it serves in propping up the
institution. Is that what Father had in mind?

Does God Really Love Me? 5.20.08
This topic is a real enigma to most
Christians. Countless believer's know God loves them from the
myriad songs, reading it in the Bible and others writing books about it.
But how many Christians actually have the revelation that He loves them
personally? And if they did, how would that change their life?

Selfish 5.12.08
This topic of selfishness is not as obvious at first
glance. This discussion is about how institutional Christianity has formed
this selfish bent within us, and how outside the system, we still have to face
the real fact of our spiritual selfishness.

Pastor 5.6.08
A question was posted on our forums asking how is
it possible given the clear evidence of how un-biblical the current role of the
pastor is, that believers still aspire to become 'Pastors'?

Formulas 4.28.08
Biblical principles are needed in our lives.
But do we lean on our understanding of them instead of choosing relationship
with Father?
Are the doctrine police in our own minds regulating our relationship with
Father?

Idolatry 4.21.08
Do the subtleties of idolatry rob us from being able to
receive and live in Father's unconditional love? Where does the mindset of
idolatry come from? These and other questions are discussed in a follow-up
from last week's podcast.

Reverse Revival 4.15.08
We often thought of revival as a glorious
time of the outpouring of God's manifestation of his spirit on our lives.
The intense preparation, anticipation and perspiration would occupy us for
months. But what if it turns out to be the opposite? What if it's a
giant step back to basics?

Have We Strayed? 4.07.08
If Peter or Paul were to show up at a
local 'church' what would be their reaction? How is it that during intense
persecution, the body of Christ flourished pre-Constantine and yet today it
seems to have lost it's bearings from the original vitality it once possessed?

False Goals 3.31.08
Disappointment and the institutional church
experience seem to go hand-in-hand. How has the unrealistic
expectations placed on believers in the IC, and the subsequent failures robbed
believers of their first love?

Church Discipline 3.24.08
Recently there have been a couple of
articles on church discipline issues. It appears that 'leaders' trying
to be sincere about new testament truth in an institutional model are creating a
pharisaical nightmare.

A Pastor's Wife 3.18.08
In our recent visit with some folks living
outside the box in Eureka,
California, we had the opportunity to sit down with Celeste Durkin and hear the
rarely told story of what it was like to be a pastor’s wife and then to step
outside the walls of religion.

Hearing God Part 2 3.10.08
We continue the discussion about hearing
Father's voice. How does God speak to us? How do we know that it's Him? What
are some diverse ways He communicates to us?

Hearing God 3.03.08
This dilemma was not always a problem in the IC.
What with regular meetings, sermons, and leaning solely on the Bible one could
go for years never once hearing Father for themselves. But what happens
outside of the IC?

Intercession 2.25.08
We've talked extensively on the rediscovery of who
believers are as a royal priesthood. One aspect of being a royal
priesthood is intercession, but how does that happen in our lives outside of the
institutional view of intercession?

What about your dreams? 2.11.08
One of the real sore spots
people encounter is the shattering of their dreams. Often at the hands of
religious institutions. So what do we do try to fix them? Restart them?
Or resurrect them?

What about dreaming? 2.05.08
Often back in the religious
institution we spent large quantities of our efforts supporting the dream
(vision) of the senior leadership. Now that you've come out of that place
now what? What happens to your dreams. This open discussion reveals
the importance of dreaming with Father.

Resisting or repressing? 1.28.08
One of the difficulties we face
when coming out of a religious institution is facing who you really are.
Often we tried to remove some evil spiritual influence only to now discover that
the evil is us. We just never allowed ourselves to face it honestly before our
loving Father.

Go From Here?' the title of Part 4 of the Church Outside The Walls videos
