In this episode, we revisit one of our favorite characters in the New Testament! R.A. Martinez takes a fresh look at Barnabas and the offering that changed history. Supernatural giving carries the seeds of divine destiny. As 2020 comes to an end, let's all resolve to be like Barnabas.

There is a throne in the tabernacle. There was one in David's day. There is one in our day. There will be one forever in the age to come. This is the second part of a two-part series on the Tabernacle of David. King David's heart to build God a resting place in his generation produced a worship culture that became the blueprint for revival in Israel, the model of the New Testament church, and the patter of Jesus' Kingdom in the age to come. R.A. Martinez walks us through the storyline of the Old Testament through the New Testament explaining what exactly is the Tabernacle of David. Https://mapsglobal.org/blog/the-worship-order-of-david

In this episode, we listen to a sermon from R.A.Martinez entitled, "Rule In The Midst Of Your Enemies" taken from a recent regional gathering hosted at our MAPS Global Missions Base. R.A. walks through Psalm chapter 2 and Psalm chapter 110 as the "prayer manual" for the New Testament church.

In this episode, R.A.Martinez sits down with a few of our staff members to offer his thoughts on how we are to hold our hearts in the midst of the current political climate. Many believers are asking if and how we are to engage in the political conversation in America. This is an issue that cannot be answered in 140 characters; it must be sought out in the place of prayer and soaked in the word of God. The Bible speaks clearly to how we are to use our words and actions in a charged political atmosphere. This podcast episode is simply starting the conversation about how the scriptures are our navigational map through the storm.

In this episode, we sit down with MAPS Global's Vice President of Care & Development, Chris Carter, to discuss his thoughts on navigating change. Change is an inevitable part of life both in the big and in the small; how we navigate it can determine whether we grow and mature or whether we get stuck and stunted. R.A. Martinez and Chris attempt to answer the question, "What is change and how can I expect it to affect me generally and specifically according to my personality type?" https://www.mapsglobal.org

We sit down with a special guest and prolific author to talk through the New Testament understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom. R.A. Martinez and our guest reminisce about working together in the Middle East and delve into the topic of "what exactly did Jesus mean by the phrase 'the gospel of the kingdom' when He said that it would go to all nations (Matt 24:14)?" What is that? What does it mean? Is it different than the gospel as we know it? You do not want to miss this episode!

In this episode, join R.A. Martinez and Leah Mix as they unpack some of the roots of modern church movements and denominations and how this informs how we think about things like "the five-fold ministry." This is part one of a two-part conversation looking at Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12 considering what Paul has to say about "gifts and offices." What was Paul's intention in naming the five distinct positions? How are they different from other gifts? Is the five-fold ministry for today? What would that even look like in today's world? Stay tuned for the next episode to hear Part 2 of the conversation! https://mapsglobal.org

We are finishing up our episodes on R.A. Martinez's "The Joseph Journey: What Every Pioneer Needs To Know" by looking at another brother's story: Judah. We see that Moses takes a break in Genesis 38, in the middle of Joseph's story, to look down the path of Judah's life. If we are not careful, jealousy and selfish ambition can take us off the Joseph Journey and down Judah's road. In this episode, we break down seven unhealthy characteristics created under Judah's leadership.
