The Free Believers Network - Into the Wild

The one thing that many Christians had taken from them the moment they enter the church world, is their belief in the goodness of their own heart. Darin and Hans talk about how devastatiing the \"anti-heart theology\" is, and what it takes to overcome it. Learning to trust in what your heart is telling you is like learning to walk all over again. If anyone wants to find joy and power in ministry again, it is essential that they return to square one; trusting that their heart is GOOD. Pass this podcast on to someone who needs to hear it.

Darin talks with Hans and Meg about the blinding power of fighting for a cause. Sometimes pastors can rationalize hurting people in the name of their cause and in doing so, they lose what their true calling is. Meg gives a personal testimony of how broken she and Hans were after leaving their church. 

Darin and Hans discuss the question as to whether or not it is the Pastors responsibility to keep the people from sinning. Standing guard over the actions of those in your congregation makes it impossible to love them. Very powerful discussion. 

Darin and Hans talk about how the use of the world \"Family\" creates unrealistic expectations on both Pastor and Congregation. People become disillusioned and Pastors lose their understanding of who they are and what their real role is in the body. Very Interesting conversation! 

This is a very challenging topic that could cause some listeners to emotionally shut down and completely miss the real revelation. Listen closely and with an open mind. Darin and Hans talk about the evolution of the Christian religion in America and how many have exchanged \"faith in God and people\" for \"faith in the bible and doctrine.\" Taking a radical step into authentic relationship with your people is dangerous and wild, but for many Pastors it’s exactly what they need to shock their ministry back to life. 

Darin and Hans talk to Pastors about the revelation that is often overlooked and why it\'s so important to open yourself up to people on a personal level. 

Darin and Hans continue their discussion directed towards Pastors. This week the two discuss the numbers game that hangs over the heads of thousands of struggling pastors. Through constant comparasons pastors find themselves in a constant state of failuer with no light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone in church leadership will love this weeks topic. 

Darin and Hans discuss the pitfalls that cause Pastors to separate themselves from the people they are leading and how easy it is to fall victim to them. The religious system of today is setup in a way that makes it nearly impossible to connect on a personal level with anyone when you are a Pastor. 

Darin and Hans talk about the difficulty of being a Pastor and having to subscribe to and teach a theology the could very well be killing you inside. For spiritual survival purposes alone, It might just be necessary to do the unthinkable and subconsciously change what you believe about the heart of God. Darin also revisits a statement he closed last weeks conversation with; \"When you love people, they can\'t hurt you.\" Please share this podcast with a Pastor or leader in Church ministry that you care about. 

Darin and Hans begin a series of talks to Pastors who are struggling and in need of relief. This is a series that hopefully will be passed on to Pastors and leaders in the Church world that are open to something new. Enjoy!

Darin and Hans get into a discussion about the comforting heart of God durring terrible times in life. Very touching talk. 

Darin and Hans talk about the effect of religious thinking when it comes to mens relationships with other men. This is a provocitive conversation that gets straight to the point of what has happened to modern day Christian men and how they connect with other men. Pass it on:)

Darin and Hans talk about the frame of mind and heart a Free Believers must be in, in order to position themselves to receive revelation from God. The Institutional world programs the human mind to reject the very things that are necessary in order to receive the truth of God\'s heart. How do we escape this programing? Tune in next week for another great conversation. 

Darin and Hans continue last weeks discussion on giving and what has happened to it in our generation. The two come up with their ideas of what is missing in modern day Christian teachings on this subject and why so many people seem to go into \"Zombie\" mode the moment the subject is brought up. Enjoy!

Darin and Hans have an incredible conversation that was prompted by an email Darin recieved concerning Christian giving. This one is a fun conversation.
