Living IN Jesus Podcast

Identifying Our Flesh

Have you ever struggled with the same temptation to sin over and over again? All our temptations flow from what the Bible calls desires of the flesh. When we repeatedly give into the same temptation to try to meet our needs apart from God by indulging fleshly desires, a “flesh” pattern develops in our lives. Behind our “flesh” patterns are lies that we believe. In order to walk in victory, a believer must replace those lies with truth. In Romans 12:2, the Apostle Paul instructs us to “… be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” In this episode, Ross talks with Ben Brezina, Mark Fields, and Tom Price about the process of identifying our flesh patterns and how to work with God to expose the lies we are believing, replace lies with the truth, and walk in victory and freedom.

The Believer's Battle

There is an unseen war being fought every day in your mind. The war is between truth and lies. What we believe to be to be true matters because our beliefs determine our behavior. Ephesians 6:12 informs us our true battle is not against the people in our lives. There are spiritual forces who attack us regularly with lies about God, ourselves and others. In this episode, Ross talks with Greg Brezina, Beau Brezina, and Tom Price about their mental battles and how Christians can experience consistent victory in and through Jesus Christ.

Growing in Grace and Knowledge

The Bible frequently compares our spiritual journey to a newborn baby who is in the process of growing up into a mature adult. Believers are encouraged in 2 Peter to “grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ” and in Ephesians “to grow up in every way into Him.” On this podcast, Ross talks with Ben Brezina, Beau Brezina and Tom Price about how we grow spiritually and the challenges and impediments to growth we encounter along the way.

Expressions of God's Life

We were made to contain and express God’s life. The Bible describes these expressions of God’s life the “fruit of the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22-23 describes this “fruit” as “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” In this episode, Ross talks with Beau Brezina, Jamie Pharis Pyles and Mark Fields about the fruit of the Spirit and how we can glorify God by displaying his tasty fruit.

Intimacy with God

We were designed to enjoy an intimate, personal relationship with God. God intimately knows each one of his creations and invites us to know him. Our spiritual growth as believers flows from our intimate relationship with God. In this episode, Ross talks with Ben Brezina, Beau Brezina and Greg Cleland about the importance of intimacy with God and the challenges they face as they seek to walk intimately with him.

A New Identity

How we view ourselves greatly impacts our behavior. Therefore, the health of our relationships with God and others rests on the foundation of a healthy identity. In this episode, Ross talks with Beau Brezina, Jamie Pharis Pyles, and Tom Price about the new identity in Christ which God gives to every believer at salvation. Knowing and believing our identity as beloved children of God is essential to experiencing abundant life in Christ.

The Great Exchange

At the moment of salvation, a great exchange happens in every believer. Death is exchanged for eternal life. Guilt is exchanged for righteousness. The old nature is exchanged for a new nature. The old covenant is exchanged for a new covenant. In this episode, Ross talks with Greg Brezina, Mark Fields, and Tom Price about all the benefits Christians receive in Jesus and the impact this great exchange has made their lives.

God's Solution and Our Response

Adam’s choice to sin created two problems which prevent humanity from experiencing abundant life in God. In this episode, Ross talks with Ben Brezina, Beau Brezina, and Mark Fields about the two problems, how they affect humanity, and the amazing solutions God has provided in Jesus Christ.
