SPELLS TO INDWELLING SALVATION

Featuring Zoey

 

I never imagined I'd be leading women's ministry—not after where I've come from. But now, in my local church, I have the honor of walking alongside women who are battling the same inner conflict I once knew: torn between cultural empowerment and spiritual surrender. Their passion for pursuing feminism gave me a voice, but it silenced the deeper call to yield—to serve, to trust, to be...

EXTERNAL/INTERNAL LIVING

Featuring Jonnie T. & Dr. Stephen Phinney

 

Many believers today, though sincere in their faith, live from the outside in—shaped by circumstances, emotions, societal expectations, and religious performance. Their identity bends to the pressure of approval, and their joy depends on what's happening around them rather than what's dwelling within. This is not the life Yeshua died to give.

The gospel calls...

FROM KANSAS TO THE LAND OF LIFE

Featuring Keith Radcliffe & Dr. Stephen Phinney

Throughout this life of struggles, challenges, setbacks, and victories, my heavenly Father taught me so much. I prayed that if any of this wisdom would benefit others, that I would have the opportunity to impart it to those in need. Today, I continue to publish biblical essays on my Substack.

God gave me life, and he preserved my life.

God gave me...

DEALING WITH REJECTION

Featuring Jonnie T. & Dr. Stephen Phinney

 

For those truly born again in Yeshua, rejection is not a stranger—it’s a companion on the road to glory. But instead of reacting from wounds on the outside, the authentic believer draws strength from the indwelling Spirit within. This is the inside-out life, where identity is rooted not in human approval, but in divine acceptance.

Rejection may sting, isolate, ...

Gale Ethridge entered his eternal res...

KINGDOMS AT WAR | LIBERALISM VS. CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANITY

Featuring Dr. Stephen & James Taylor

 

Dr. Phinney writes this book because the battle between the misguided Christian Liberalism and authentic Conservative Christianity is not merely ideological—it is spiritual.

It is a war over the integrity of Scripture, the nature of Yeshua, the Messiah, and the soul of the Church. Liberal theology, with its emphasis on cultural rel...

DISCIPLES IN THE MAKING

Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney

 

Making disciples in Yeshua is at the very heart of advancing His indwelling life and spreading the gospel of Christ. Discipleship is more than just teaching—it’s about cultivating a deep, personal transformation, where believers embrace their true identity in Yeshua and allow His Spirit to work through them. When followers are truly discipled, they don’t just learn about faith...

GENERATION Z END TIMES STRESS

Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney & Russ Tope

 

We must be prepared to answer the pressing questions of the end times that weigh on the hearts and minds of Gen Z. This is a generation bombarded by conflicting worldviews, cultural confusion, and spiritual distractions. If we, as the Church and as mentors in the faith, remain silent or unclear, we risk leaving them vulnerable to deception and despair.

LIBERTY IN HIS NAME

Featuring Stephen Phinney  | Vocalist Tony Townshed

 

True Liberty Is Found in the Name of Yeshua.

In a nation that equates liberty with autonomy and self-expression, Scripture offers a radically different definition: true liberty is found in surrender to Yeshua, the Messiah. His name—Yeshua, meaning “salvation”—is not merely a title but a declaration of divine rescue from the bondage of sin, fear, and death.

F...

THE KISS OF JUDAS

Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney & Douglas Starbrook

 

From Betrayal to Belief

Growing up, betrayal felt like a recurring chapter in my story. Family, friends—even those I thought I could trust—let me down at every turn. Sometimes it was subtle; other times it cut deep. Words twisted, promises broken, kindness used as leverage. I learned early how to wear armor, how to smile through disappointment, and how to ke...

I AM NOT WHAT I DO

Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney & Douglas Starbrook

 

I Am Not What I Did

There was a time when I believed that my identity was rooted in my actions. If I succeeded, I was valuable. If I failed, I was worthless. Every choice, every mistake, every regret—I wore them like labels. I thought what I did defined who I was, and so I lived in a cycle of performance, shame, and striving. When I fell short (as I often d...

My name is Joshua, and here is my Exchanged Life story. From a very young age, I was acutely aware that I was different. The rejection I faced in my childhood was relentless and soul-crushing.

SEEKING PRAISE & APPROVAL FROM OTHERS

Dr. Stephen Phinney & Jonnie T.

 

When indwelt believers seek praise and approval from others rather than from God and Yeshua, they risk shifting their focus from spiritual dependence to worldly validation.

The pursuit of human approval can lead to compromise, where faith becomes more about external recognition than genuine devotion. This can breed pride, insecurity, and even deception...
